Queens of the Stone Age

xthisxbreathx · 08-01-2009, 04:00 PM

Here's a band that kicks some ass! I mean, who can bring to the table not only the dynamic bass, but all around earie feel that they can? Take a look at 'Little Sister'. "...to leave your voodoo life behind the shadows." What kinda **** was his little sister into?? haha but the guitar and bass in that song are really cool. '3's and 7's' was another incredible one for riffs. Doen't get much catchier than that. I'd be interested in what kind of effects they use as well... gotta get some of those :p

the bulk of their stuff is done with a slide, distortion, compression, and volume for the most part, especially on the songs you list.

Queens of the Stone Age and "dynamic bass"? Did I read that correctly?

Try to imagine bands like Tool or Red Hot Chili Peppers without a bass player. Or QotSA. I agree that I liked them better with Oliveri.

This bass discussion is kinda boring, but whatever. My two cents: I liked Nick, but I've seen the band before and after his departure and my favourite shows have been AFTER.

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.

Actually sounds like a pretty cool name...

RonaldSays · 08-07-2009, 09:48 AM

Oh yeah! Can't wait to see or listen to that. Rumours are they are going to be the surprise act for the Lowlands festival over here in the Netherlands in two weeks. I'm going mental if that's the case. Fingers crossed!

Hope you're right Ronaldsays... and hope you get to see 'em!

Show in Chicago is confirmed. I just signed up for their Email list, so hopefully a tour ensues. I'm so excited, it's like songs for the deaf + JPJ! How can you go wrong?
