Dude Mikey has always had good singing coordination whilst playing various instruments, I've always enjoyed that, especially in the early days of mini mansions playing the standing drum kit haha

My friend played me her record of this album 3 years after it's release, I heard every bit. I thought it was crazy. And I haven't heard any new songs since my USMC days in 2006

Just doing that Paul McCartney stuff

It is only impossible if you try to do it without practice

@west_ryder3089 It's only impossible if you DON'T try it, you mean

Their albums are all Greatest Hits for me.

"for a start" can't emphasize this part enough

Hell yeeeesssss jajajaj

Truth

This drummer is fantastic. Joey was good. But Dave Grohl was a complete monster on his watch.

Verdya Adli i whEEZED

If you look close, he's there. (2:35)

Keep your eyes peeled

Ridiculous

absolutely!

Never been to a single bad show of theirs. And every live recording sounds near perfect.

they're all fucking beasts. seen them twice and them crooked vultures once. Josh is different level tho

Josh McDerp ahh heaven

It's a great tone and damn fine playing

Mikey Shoes plays as good as he looks :P

Can feel the same about Josh Homme's guitar playing ^^

Jesus. Thank you

Got that growl like a rick. I love it

fuck yeah man

Saw them last year and damn they're tight live!

Lol, was there ever any doubt? 😜

Apparently the drum track to The Way You Used To Do is a live recording with no correction. The claps are played on a left foot pedal trigger. QotSA is one of the most legit bands in hard rock.

Erik Brown fun fact, qotsa never used ear monitors until the middle of the Like Clockwork tour. Until then, you only see Josh wearing ear plugs.

😂😂 Spot on

On a motorcycle...

@@AlejandroMartinez-fr6hj YES

I bet Joshua pay them to make that face 🤣

😄👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

That's what I'm talking about! QOTSA never stopped getting awesomer!

I couldn't agree more with everything you said. 👌

100%

Mark Ronson is the demise of good music.😢

@@phoebepalahniuk210 and yet even HE couldn't manage to ruin a badass album. he just lifted a lot of that good LIVE energy that usually bleeds through their recordings. listen to In Times New Roman yet? whole album of badassery. p.s. i'm sure you've gotten it tons on YT, but i see yr handle...and that little Lego dude in yr photo looks nothing like Chuck P. is it a real relation or a Fantasy Nuptials 1st Round Draft Pick for someone named Phoebe?🙃 (if ppl can play fantasy football, why can't they play fantasy nuptials?)

Zadel Snuiver you did well! Where? 😂

darkness?

dean is at 3:08 and at 2:35

I respectfully disagree. The SFTD lineup can’t be topped

@@braydenmackie2204 facts

come on, Dave Grohl would have been awesome too.

I miss Joey Castillo...

When Natasha and Alain were touring, it was epic. Her keys and backups were legendary.

I think that statement should be made for Troy.

Troy downstrokes the whole song, absolute crazy.

they're all fucking beasts

I am always amazed at what he can play and sing at the same time

Stephen Williams grohl is the complete opposite of sloppy

Paul Armstrong But Jon is infinitely better. Check out some Mars Volta and One Day As A Lion songs, he's super technical and he makes it fit the song perfectly.

+Bird Expert I agree; Jon Theodore is the best drummer QotSA has had.

They were/are all great.

I'm a huge Castillo fan, but you're right Brohemian Rhapsody.

Then you didn't see them right after Songs for the Deaf!

@@odenweller1313 this is the best version of the band.. with Dave 2nd best

@@janmeyjayshukla3276 100%. Dave Grohl on drums and Nick on bass. Nick brought a level of insanity to the band where you never knew what to expect. Langen too. I wish more bands would use multiple vocalists

@@odenweller1313 seen all incarnations, even saw Sons of Kyuss back in 1990 in a living room/house party in La Quinta, CA. THIS is the best version, to me. skillwise, Jon is easily their best drummer, though i'd like to see them just cut him loose on more than his nightly massive drum solo... his chops as displayed in The Mars Volta are amazzzing... but i get it...QOTSA is NOT a prog rock band, even if they do stray into a bit of proggy territory for a few songs each album. the drummer has to stay more or less on point, as JH writes from the perspective of POLKA music on much of their stuff... so it HAS to have that groove. So he stays in his lane, while giving the skins a nightly thrashing... Nick brought great, reckless attitude, but Mikey Shoes is the more skilled bassist AND singer (he's great singing in Mini Mansions)... Troy and Dean are sick with it... and of course, Joshua M. Homme as conductor of this wild train ride, taking us through all the twists and turns of this Matterhorn--nobody could do it, THIS, better.

How are they underrated..? One of the most celebrated bands in the world…

They aren’t underrated, they should be even more popular but they’re extremely highly rated by like everyone

Octave pedals, man, sweet and glorious

It's insane! Tons of complex, layered parts for every musician, and having to sing while playing. And it still sounds just like the album.

no joke. its enough variation that you can never accuse them of playing along to tracks, but still crisp and pro every time.

maintained exactly that, as well as being slightly sweaty the entire time

Well, its not a secret anymore now that you told everyone!! :D

His guitar had half a second fame

Hes the secret weapon

does dean do some comic music videos/arts for QOTSA?

I don't think it's a secret he is on stage with everyone else live. I don't know why he never gets screen time though :/. He's a great guitarist and keyboard player. He also plays in The Dead Weather.

Satevo there’s a burn the witch live at record store where Jon does a drum solo and it’s phenomenal. I’ll try and copy it here 🥁

Satevo kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKtknc6ltq_Ypqs.html

Ehh idk Will ferre-errr, Chad smith is a bit higher for me

@@bazermaggie ty for sharing. They are so fudge fucking tight live. On my bucket list seeing them live. Hope you can too. Rock on dude/dudette

Satevo I was just thinking the same thing👍😎

so very underatted

Heck ya, Mini Mansions and Wires on Fire...🔥

swiftripper Although it is tough it is possible. Took quite some time for me to nail it though. Difficult riff + easy lyrics goes well and vice versa. It‘s an even greater mistery how he does head like a haunted house in that speed.

i mean, he's one of the best in playing crazy stuff on guitar while singing

practice.... practice will get you where you want to be. If you want to be better than joshua homme, fucking practice!

mere life experience

@@lorddenselmichel8796 underrated

I still think Joey Castillo has the edge..... and I love Jon

Lol, Castillo is objectively worse than both Dave and Jon.

Yeah, but the sheer force he brought, it was like watching a bull play drums, lol, he banged the shit outta it

this

Looks like he has just come from the gym with what he’s waring - make an effort mate it’s a music video!

That shit kills me. 🙄

I mean foreeeeeal

Innit! Crapola camera work, way to close in...

hahaha

True AF

Hahahahahaha

"I was gonna pull out but then they kicked into that outro riff and I lost control"

Let it long continue then

It was great live in Detroit bought 3 years ago.

samesame. i semi-grew up in the same desert, saw Kyuss when they were called Sons of Kyuss, at a house party in La Quinta, CA. also once at a "generator party" at a place we used to just call The Nudist Colony (that's what it used to be, was abandoned and the desert took over...but still a good place for parties w/no cops). anyway, i've been SHOCKED that they haven't scheduled ANYTHING in Las Vegas this time around. supersucks.

nope. mikey shoes is the boss on that bass... and he's a great singer in his own right.

@Peter Brightman It's a jazz, look at the pickups at 3:20

Drums do sound like Zep's hit Black Dog.

It does! Kind wish the album version wasn’t so mixed down. Feels too soft.

@@SmEliot21 everything was just overcompressed IMO. probably that mark ronson effect, although i haven't heard enough of his production to know for sure. JT has been low in the mix for the entire time he's been with QOTSA, though... quite possibly out of habit for Josh and friends, having started out with less skilled drummers than JT; like, "hey, joey's great at rocking that steady pocket extra heavy, so let's focus our sound on those trippy guitars." even dating back to Kyuss, who got their start at house parties and generator parties out in the desert... settings where the drums can tend to dominate the sound too much if you're not careful... but now he's got a god-level drummer i think JH needs to crank JT's levels up a bit.

Mikey is a beast.

I hear Cream too
