This is perhaps my favourite version of this song, I just absolutely adore how much heavier and grittier this version is mixed in with that mysterious vibe that the keyboard adds making this version sound like it came from Rated R instead of Songs for the deaf.
Sounds like a mashup with I Think I Lost My Headache. I like it but I don't think it could ever beat the original. Those two guitar solos on the studio v just kill me every time.
I totally know what you're talking about with the solos. I'm sure you've seen it but there's a live version that plays on the bonus of over the years and through the woods that's just killer. mediocre sound quality, though, which is unfortunate. Easy to get past, though, once you hear how good the performance is.
Christo Pasiou Super late response but this version is actually called Catherdral City, though the studio version I've found is all instrumental I love it with vocals. I love both versions,Cathedral City just has its own dope groove
Been a dyed in the wool QOTSA fan since the turn of the miilenium. Never heard this version until a show. It remains at the top. I was lucky enough to hear Rated R & Lullabies material live before hearing the record, and it's the only "luck" I've ever had.
@@Jim-mq5xe Awesome show, one of the best I've ever seen. Maybe the best. The DC show was also REALLY good. Natasha was alive then, playing her leaned back keyboard. First time I heard this version of this song was that DC show. She freaked the girl I was with at the time out. She thought she was some kinda witch..lmao She had a really awesome stage presence and a kinda intimidating way about her if you didn't know her prior to seeing her perform, but I think she was really sick at that time. RIP NATASHA. ;(.. QOTSA and Kyuss are my relationship caveats, or crucibles. If you can't enjoy groove driven growling guitars, a bit of strangeness and the most creative songwriting around, I got nothing for you.
4:50 onwards = incredible. This kind of stuff makes me wonder how much the doors is an influence to Queens of the Stone Age. They also covered "not to touch the earth," which is one of the best doors songs (in my opinion).
They performed at Pukkelpop after the release of Rated R And played 2 (then) unknown songs: God Is Radio & Go w th Flow. A little heavier And faster. Had it on some sort of old skool pc format 🤦♂️ got lost never found it again online. Good now, but still Feels like a loss. 1st time hearing it, live, powerful, young…
This is just a theory, i dont expect anybody to agree with me, but I noticed theres some songs that changed after Nick Oliveri left…if you look at the song credits for “God Is In the Radio” Nick Oliveri & Josh Homme wrote this song, and this version came out in 2005 (Nick got fired in 2004 I believe) again i just noticed songs like “Song for the Dead”, “Millionaire”, & “God Is In the Radio” have changed…not just because of Nick tho just saying! And obviously songs like “Gonna Leave You” & “Another Love Song” are not commonly played because Nick left.
Watch the making of video of the album(its on youtube, or at least was a while back). Josh is instructing Dave to play in this dumbed down bit silly manner, as it fits on it. Im sure Josh wanted Joey to play in this way too as he saw it fitting to the overall groove. Also lol at Joey not being able to play shuffles.
God is with Mark on the Radio. RIP Genius, you voice is eternal, as you.

I love this version! R.I.P Mark 😕
This version is insanely amazing. I love how the organ sounds like a submarine sonar. Makes it sound like they're playing along to it.

Christo Pasiou yeah you're totally right..sounds alot like I think I lost my headache
Christo Pasiou those solos are so hypnotic
Yeah man when Josh lets rip it just shows that raw talent and feeling that IS qotsa. Has to be one of my all time favourite songs

Just to clarify they did record a studio version of this for the Era sessions, but only in instrumental form.

5:20 Josh and Natasha start playing off each other.

Live Austin March 15th 2005. I will never forget this show.
Damn. I just fucking died from this.

Lanegan wasn't dead when I saw him last week...:p
Fuck, Lanigan hasn't moved the entire video. I think hes dead!!!
RIP Mark
ill have comments that aged like milk sadly for 50€ please
bro...
God dammit whoever was there was fucking lucky
Great
did they ever release a this version of the song? in studio?
instant B!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rip mark
damn...
music from QotSA - Cathedral City with God is in the Radio lyrics?
Mark died in 2022 in Ireland. Get that straight people.
The Never Cease! This is fucking Good.
@daverlb well.. this is about as much as he moves onstage :)
WICKED but Troy doesn't get enough credit. He adds even more Darkness. And I'm not just talking about this.
Tough to be told
mark can't die, death is too afraid to take him away
It took death 8 years to grow some balls
@@Zoninator RIP Lanegan. Someone wanted to book Mark for a gig on the other side.
@@JohnsDough1918 amen homo chomsky, amen
To quote JonTron, that one didn't age quite so well.
no they didn't.. not the cathedral city version...
Exteneded hahaha
He s stoned
i thought it was a very good prank
This drummer can't play a shuffle, so they had to dumb it down.
Why do you all like this version better? Oh wait...
They played the "shuffle" version on the Songs for the Deaf tour Joey played on, so there goes that dumb theory.
Prove it. Every live version I've found without Dave Grohl is this slow, boring, dumbed down version.
Igloo Groove Go look up on here the one off they did with Mark in 2010, that's a good performance with video.

Bonjour, a big big thank you it's cool to listen this version...stoner for ever.
