I love the Eagles of Death Metal too, and that sounds a lot like them... If I had a Tail is another fave.

A lot of their songs are so fucking sexy! I watched a video of Smooth Sailing earlier and cracked up cause one of the comments said: "QOTSA... Don't sit too close, first two rows might get pregnant"

That's pretty insane. QOTSA are playing arenas in the UK in November. 12,000ish per night. I saw them in a 4000 capacity venue on their Era Vulgaris tour, it was insane. But then again I think seating at a rock show is insane [/quote]

They have now all but sold out two nights at Wembley Arena (12,500 capacity) - managed to snag standing tickets for night two (Saturday!)

Great to see them deservedly and finally making the step up to bigger venues (in Europe at least!). :twisted:

Hoyl god I love this album so much, the Sat by the ocean guitar riff is freaking genius...

Looking forward to see them at Cirkus Stockholm next week!!!!!!

I finally had a chance to listen to the Like Clockwork vinyl this weekend and holy shit it was awesome.

This album fucking blew me away. Gonna sound cheesy but smells art, every second of it.

I am now in a collecting mood of the previous work of the band. All albums, boots, whatever...

I cannot believe I missed them twice by 1-day each in South America 3 months ago. Fool me... :evil:

I just wanna believe that PJ album will be as good as this one.

Well this "standard" version is 150g, so still very solid... Okay, I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but the record sounds good now that I put back on last night... Um, I think it sounded bad before because I'd smoked some weed and was hearing it funny. :oops: :oops: .... But seriously, how was I to know?? Usually pot makes shit taste sound better, not worse!! :fp:

Just like you, I had some wine and Songs for the Deaf, the most-hyped QoTSA album sounded shitty, so far. Maybe, I should try French next time. :?

Waited until I have heard this album more than a few times.

It's freaking great. I Sat By The Ocean is a top tier tune. If I Had A Tail is pretty damn good too. I can listen to the whole album and then do it again. I used to call myself a 'fair' Queens of the Stone Age fan. I'm much more now.

Am I the only one that gets a little bit of Bowie sound in there?

Bingo!

I knew I wasn't nuts.

After I was able to listen to the vinyl, going back to an mp3 was just awful. They don't compare but I can listen to it multiple times in a row.

Is it tempting to reference one of Elton's own records as something you're like to recreate - "I'd like a 'Street Kids' sort of sound" - or is that dangerous?

No, I don't mind saying what's on my mind. With music there's no reason to beat around the bush - he certainly doesn't do that! What really happened is we're both focused on tinkering on the same toy or engine together. That song, even though it's not clear, really has this root in that Marc Bolan, T-Rex, Wendy Carlos, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", Bowie with Iggy in West Berlin sort of vibe. And [Elton] was there with Marc Bolan! Bolan was a great friend of his. I think he got that without me having to say, "Hey! Like this!" Jamming with Elton for us was really that - I don't think I need to say something obvious to him as he has his expertise in picking up on things without even making a thing of it. He was, like, "Don't you wanna jam?" The answer is "F***ing A, yeah I do."
