Amazing version of this song. When will Josh Homme get the accolades he deserves? I don't think many people know how good of a guitarist and a musician he really is.
+Tom T By they, you mean QOTSA and Björk right? Because if you do, then fuck yes, I agree with you! They turned a sort of spacey, dance song into a almost doom-laden, stoner metal ballad.
Saw them twice on consecutive nights, double bill with NIN Auckland/Wellington, NZ. They played this at Wellington, made my 2 days. Got the set list signed by and from Hutch after the QOTSA set, made my 50th, as did the birthday card that followed a week later, signed by the band and Mo Sup and Pat. Thanks, QOTSA and co, for being fucking legends.
i used to like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Jimmi Hendrix or Carlos Santana's guitar playing about 15 years ago, but man, these days, Joshua Homme is the #1 guitar slayer in my opinion... He is the new real deal that i'm sure will rock my noodle til i die!
Saw them a couple hours ago in Montreal, and they played it!!! along with song for the dead, no one knows, little sister, a couple more and of course the whole queens of the stone age album. BEST CONCERT EVER
The first time i saw them play this song live, was at a club in Seattle. I had been up front in the pit the entire show. I was drenched in sweat. I was so thirsty and my body was just craving water. So I came out to drink some water then have a couple beers. I had brought some blow with me to the show. Probably the main reason I was wanting water. Anyways I had maybe 2 grams or so left. I had been wanting to see them play this song badly. So Josh starts the next song, I knew right away and its BLTC. So I pull out my baggie of blow and straw, put the straw in it. And im literally snorting as much as i could as i run back into the pit. I did some stupid shit when I was young, hell i still do. But the memories are fantastic. 😂
at 3:31 you can see the devil trying to enter the stage, falling from the sky - like the fallen angel that he is. Paralyzed immediately, tough, by so much awesomeness, he is left for dead. Only to be picked and thrown away by a QOTSA-roadie, a few seconds later. The end.
This is pretty rare footage... Josh playing his Ovation with some Badcats into the Lullabies Era and Joey playing bongos lol?? Pretty bad ass!! Love myself some early Queens stuff!!
I can tell why they broadcast The Beatles into space, instead of Queens of the Stone Age. We didn't want to blow the alien's minds before they even got here.
One of the best live performances ive seen on youtube, and, I have to say, it looks like one of the most physically demanding on everybody's behalf. This is much better than the studio version, but both kick ass
one of the best versions. this is one of those songs that in every incarnation is just fucking amazing. when that riff kicks in it just takes you away to a place words can't describe
Thanks for sharing. Some QOTSA was just what was needed to wash away the aftertaste of too many shots on at the top of the week at the local DC 14St dive.
Yea man hes my fav too. its all them years of kyuss and trippin and stuff in the desert man, hes just transcended. this is my favourite solo on this song!
R u serious ? They're like THE best rock-group !!! Josh Homme is a magician when he holds a guitar, it's just magical and almost unnatural what he can do with a guitar, not to mention his great feeling to invent a great song and best of all he just lives to perform live concerts, when he's playing live, you got no other chance but to enjoy it, even if you aren't a fan
...and still to this day, i envisage Josh, in a suit, all gentlemanly like, with the sleeves torn off....something about the finesse, and the rawness....
@ODonnell94 It's not a maton, it's an ovation gp builded from 1984 to 1986, that has failed comercially talking. But that josh has ressucited this guitar, he has...
have you ever seen rock in rio 14? michael absolutely kills it there. nick is great, considering he came up with the bassline, but michael deff knows how to make it still awesome
I mean this in the best possible way... josh homme is the second coming of elvis. Genre bending, but completely deliberate. Carving your own path. Charisma like you wouldnt believe. Pure rockstar.
just show me one bassist like nick oliveri with same genius feeling and technique. As guitarist i would love to play with him. That guyz playin standard electric bass in fretless style with full force and soul. Hes really a master of his doin and his instrument. Sorry but i love his job ;)
The mob comes crawling up/ I'm reclaiming my mind/ Destroying everyone/ There's no one here/ And people everywhere/ You're all alone. f*cking insane..that's me 2 days ago in Glastonbury! even if for chemistry i waited shangri-la :D
This song takes you into a new world, If there was music in heaven this would be playing, This song is god like. Therefore Josh must be god. This is by far my favourite QOTSA song.
This is in C standard (C-F-Bb-Eb-G-C). In Kyuss he did play through bass cab. Josh said in an interview they used to loosen the strings as far as possible while still having some tension, then make them slightly tighter then from there just relatively tune, turns out that gives somewhere around C-tuning, anything lower and the strings have almost no tension unless you step up the string gauge. In queens he plays in C standard with around 13 gauge strings.
There can't be many drummers that can do what Joey Castillo does here. 2.5 minutes of uninterrupted maniacal drum bashing - looping over and over what would normally be a 3 second filler to create an incredibly intense backbone for the guitar madness. Mesmerizing.
I know they all famously agree their worst show was rock am ring in like 2001. I was there. In the army at the time. I thought it was the strangest timing and I still enjoyed it.

Musicians know
Still I feel similar, it is not just anyone who invents riffs like this.
we know, and that's enough
I know and that's enough
Deserves the Rock and Roll HOF!
songs like these are making QOTSA to one of the greatest Rock Bands ever!
Agreed
4:40 mark that shit is tight...def good performance..cocaine helps😁
I've seen QOTSA live 3 times and they've always played this song. It's absolutely amazing live. Josh is an outstanding guitarist.
Im literally coming home from a qotsa concert right now and whilst they didnt play this i can confirm they are stull fucking exceptional
i love he always adds something to every guitar riff that is different from the album, no matter how small it always fits.
ah, i miss the ovation. i hope he busts it out again, some day. he truly had his own sound with that guitar.
Royal Blood must of listened to a Lotta queens of the stone age this riff alone defines their career to date
who would want a better influence?!
Yep, glad I saw them open for queens at the forum.
possibly one of the greatest tunes they have written so far

OFIDH awesome story man, how'd that unfold?!
Look how small that Ovation GP looks on Josh, he's a colossous, and such an underated guitar player. This performance is immense.
Absolute best guitar intro he’s done to this song. Amazing.
Joey Castillo tears it up in this performance. This is my favorite live of this song.
homme is so good. his guitar is just part of his body.
Can’t believe I didn’t listen to ‘Rated R’ until a few weeks ago. Love this Song! Can’t wait to see them play live!
Guy on percussion gave incredible performace. What an energy!
Joey Castillo. He recorded Danzig 4. Hell of a drummer
"I'm reclaiming my mind, destroying everyone."
Gotta love them lyrics!
Wow ! What a performance ! Specially from the drummer.
Joey Castillo is a beast and my favorite QUOTSA drummer

The best band i have ever seen live.
For those who have never seen them. Man yous have missed out on somthing special.
Saw them a couple hours ago in Montreal, and they played it!!! along with song for the dead, no one knows, little sister, a couple more and of course the whole queens of the stone age album. BEST CONCERT EVER
This is a song to feel, more than hear. It’s hypnotic 🖤

Headlong, the only way to go that I know.
i've had the divine pleasure of hearing this song in person
I always love it when they have a just a jam session after some of there songs.
I come back to this video every few days just to watch the amazing. These guys deserve so much more recognition then they currently do.
Homme have got this black guitar since is 16 I think (I think it's an Ovation).
Now this should be on the DELUXE VERSION!!!! Best live solo ive ever heard...
Took me 7 QOTSA shows, but I finally heard this song live. Melted my mind. I am not the same person I was before I heard this song live.
at 3:31 you can see the devil trying to enter the stage, falling from the sky - like the fallen angel that he is. Paralyzed immediately, tough, by so much awesomeness, he is left for dead. Only to be picked and thrown away by a QOTSA-roadie, a few seconds later. The end.
Wtf is that?
Username Denied the devil
Any updates on that Moron?
2:30 until 3:00, Josh really moves that GP around to get a feedback! A definite highlight!
how about when he actually plays it I think that's more what should be noted
This is pretty rare footage... Josh playing his Ovation with some Badcats into the Lullabies Era and Joey playing bongos lol?? Pretty bad ass!! Love myself some early Queens stuff!!
best performance of this song ever. I envy those who were there
I can tell why they broadcast The Beatles into space, instead of Queens of the Stone Age. We didn't want to blow the alien's minds before they even got here.
Josh Homme was 5 years old when that happened.
God sent them to earth to save rock n roll
One of the best live performances ive seen on youtube, and, I have to say, it looks like one of the most physically demanding on everybody's behalf. This is much better than the studio version, but both kick ass
one of the best versions. this is one of those songs that in every incarnation is just fucking amazing. when that riff kicks in it just takes you away to a place words can't describe
Live always good ,amazing band
Thanks for sharing. Some QOTSA was just what was needed to wash away the aftertaste of too many shots on at the top of the week at the local DC 14St dive.
3:30 troy's like "wtf?"
OMG! The riff of this song causes me chills!
Benefits of C tuning! Got to love it.
Yea man hes my fav too. its all them years of kyuss and trippin and stuff in the desert man, hes just transcended. this is my favourite solo on this song!

12 seconds in and it's a thumbs up.
...and still to this day, i envisage Josh, in a suit, all gentlemanly like, with the sleeves torn off....something about the finesse, and the rawness....
Well put.
I like this, because I like Josh, I like QOTSA...but, what? lol
amazing performance! wish we could see more of Nick.
I will never forget the first time... all those years ago... When I first heard THIS song! 🤘🏼
Eargasm!!!
Weed changed the way I saw this song
+sonic titan literally the best song for smoking
@@TheHammeredDog for me it was mdma, but yeah, weed always works aswell :'D
This song changed the way I saw weed.
it just have this flow,this atmosphere like almost no other song...this song makes me high
That was one massive bend!
It is the EPIC queens of the stone age song. Like the mind-bending climax of all that is ROCK music!!
Hands down - in my opinion the greatest Qotsa song so far... love it -- epic !!!
No mortal could ever create something so awe inspiring... THEY ARE GODS.
@ODonnell94 It's not a maton, it's an ovation gp builded from 1984 to 1986, that has failed comercially talking. But that josh has ressucited this guitar, he has...
Love that older song from way back in the day.
fantastic performance.
Too bad the bass's nearly missing in the mix. That what made me trip so much live.
One of the more satisfying songs to play on bass. Shuman is a beast.
meant to say too... beast too.
have you ever seen rock in rio 14? michael absolutely kills it there. nick is great, considering he came up with the bassline, but michael deff knows how to make it still awesome
Here is Nick ...
I'm late to your shuman is a beast party, but I hope you realize that this is long before he was in the band?
Love the way Joey plays the drums like he's beating the face of his worst enemy!
This guy is good at guitar
don't stop liking these guys. enjoy everything
Haha Josh: "Stay with me now". God, it's not that hard to clap on time.
@AQueenOfTheStoneAge i enter another world when this song plays, totally awsum !!!!!!!
GREAT QOTSA! I LOVE THIS SONG AND RATED-R ALBUM.
Completely dig the otherworldly comment - it is like reaching the clouds. A high point in rocking out. I hope Vultures can fly like this. Forever.
Thank you for posting this video. This is a proper rockl band.
Damn this group is impressive.
I love the bass. Such a smooth sound.
Oliveri brought them doin that yea. Best musical performance of that song in youtube. THX NICK!
I mean this in the best possible way... josh homme is the second coming of elvis. Genre bending, but completely deliberate. Carving your own path. Charisma like you wouldnt believe. Pure rockstar.
I love watching Josh play
Indeed. His skills are comparable to master bra'tac with his Ma'Tok. He would make a fine Goa'uld Jaffa.
just show me one bassist like nick oliveri with same genius feeling and technique. As guitarist i would love to play with him. That guyz playin standard electric bass in fretless style with full force and soul. Hes really a master of his doin and his instrument. Sorry but i love his job ;)
Every time I hear you, Im in love. thx Josh.
One of the best songs by Homme & fellas
I love Josh's solos!
i luv this tune, what a performance
i love how they are taking their time
Bloody hell. Great vid. Great solo. Wicked version of this track.
josh you rock i need ta see yall live come back to comblowus ohio
❤I can hear the desert.
this is a masterpiece.
Joey was freaking working so hard lol He's done a great job on the drums.
The mob comes crawling up/ I'm reclaiming my mind/ Destroying everyone/ There's no one here/ And people everywhere/ You're all alone.
f*cking insane..that's me 2 days ago in Glastonbury! even if for chemistry i waited
shangri-la :D
dude, that was a hell of a gig!
i hope ill get to see them st gallen this year!
"Rock my noodle" is the best string of words i've ever heard.
yeah, kyuss, qotsa, rekords rekords, desert sessions
all of that and this video = 5/5
thanks for the post man!
~Brandon
What a great quote!
This song takes you into a new world, If there was music in heaven this would be playing, This song is god like. Therefore Josh must be god. This is by far my favourite QOTSA song.
3:02 is by far one of the most intense drops i've ever heard
what a masterwork!
This is in C standard (C-F-Bb-Eb-G-C). In Kyuss he did play through bass cab. Josh said in an interview they used to loosen the strings as far as possible while still having some tension, then make them slightly tighter then from there just relatively tune, turns out that gives somewhere around C-tuning, anything lower and the strings have almost no tension unless you step up the string gauge. In queens he plays in C standard with around 13 gauge strings.
Such a Kyuss vibe
There can't be many drummers that can do what Joey Castillo does here. 2.5 minutes of uninterrupted maniacal drum bashing - looping over and over what would normally be a 3 second filler to create an incredibly intense backbone for the guitar madness. Mesmerizing.
Love love !
the best trip you can ever have...
It's really amazing indeed!
Yeah, he's definitely keeping with his Kyuss roots. Too cool!
I wish these guys would do a longer version of this lately with Johhny T goin' straight gonzo on the drum fills and take it out for a good stretch
I know they all famously agree their worst show was rock am ring in like 2001.
I was there. In the army at the time. I thought it was the strangest timing and I still enjoyed it.
