    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.

    Josh Homme is an all time underrated guitar player. He's not flashy or technical but he thinks so far outside the box that it almost makes it a different instrument.

    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

      @@horstvazinksi3408 I never said or implied that. I’m saying it’s funny because Josh is the only guitarist people credit for their music. They call Troy, Mikey, and Dean yes men. So, my overall point is. It’s funny because they don’t realize only maybe 40-60% of the guitar parts since Like Clockwork were all written by the people that SFTD purists insist are only hired guns and don’t have creative input. But only Josh gets the credit. Josh has implied that he’s only written the instrumental parts for 2 songs on ITNR. At the very least most of that album was composed by other members. Josh has taken a back seat compositionally and has focused more as a lyricist.
