    The thing that always gets me about Josh is how effortlessly he plays this stuff, and often while singing a completely different melody over the top of it. And dancing. Dudes a god.

    That Autopilot part was written by Nick Oliveri, years before Qotsa: Josh wrote the solo part and the drums. The Hangin Tree riff was written by Alain Johannes (Desert Session 7/8). The Milionaire riff was written by Mario Lalli (Desert Sessions 5). My God is the Sun sound like a Dean Fertita riff, I guess Josh didn't wrote it. Josh loves to collaborate with good musicians
