Queens of the Stone Age

So this new project with Grohl and JPJ is apparently called Them Crooked Vultures. An online buddy of mine is seeing their first show in Chicago Sunday night.
 
lullabies is such a good album, many people thought it was a big let down from songs for the deaf but i think its much better

oh, ya - i listen to queens as well
 
we'll just have to agree to disagree on EV. the only track that sounRAB like filler to me is 'make it wit chu'. i think it twists around enough different mooRAB and styles to merit the comparison to R.

while 'better living through chemistry' and 'in the fade' are two of my favourites i won't elevate them based on preference. BLTC isn't that complicated or challenging to play on guitar. 'i think i lost my headache' is a lot tougher due to the twisted melody. both tracks are easily trounced by 'songs for the dead', especially any live version.

as for 'in the fade' being the most well-recognized.... wtf? when they played it at the last show i saw most of the crowd didn't seem to recognize it. it wasn't a big single and i'd be curious to hear how you figure it's more recognizable than 'go with the flow' or 'no one knows' to casual listeners.
 
Heh. I actually liked Make It Wit Chu. The extended solo in BLTC is one of the fastest compositions Homme wrote, and it's certainly difficult enough to play. 'Round my neck of the wooRAB In The Fade is probably the only QOTSA song ever played on the radio. Bit of a shame really, 'cause it doesn't showcase Homme's talented falsetto. NOW Go With The Flow and No One Knows are bigger, but only because of f*cking Guitar Hero and Rock Band out there. I have never heard either one on the radio.
 
I know that it is their 3rd one. I meant to say that it was the first one in this constellation - but that wouldn't be true regarding their fourth one... cause that would be another debut... Hmmm, forget what I meant to say... It was only crap...

Anyway, I like "R Rated", because of "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer", "Auto Pilot" and "I think I lost My Headache"... But "Lullabies To Paralyze" would be my favourite one.
 
Yeah, but Zwan was the best Pumpkins album the Pumpkins never made.... hehehehehehe... I really loved it, I gotta get it out for another listen some time soon!
