Queens of the Stone Age "new" album?

2

Comments

  • Last month, Queens of the Stone Age reissued their landmark 2000 album Rated R and scored a Best New Reissue from us in the process. And later this year, the band will follow it up by reissuing their out-of-print 1998 self-titled debut, along with three extra tracks that were deleted from the original album. This is the album that Josh Homme and co. recorded soon after the breakup of their previous band, the legendary stoner-rock outfit Kyuss.

    The QOTSA reissue arrives November 26, Black Friday, in a 180-gram double-gatefold colored vinyl edition with download. If you'd prefer the CD version by itself, that's coming December 7. QOTSA frontman Josh Homme is putting out the reissue on his own Rekords Rekords label, through a partnership with Mike Patton's Ipecac Recordings. Tracklist below.

    Queens of the Stone Age:

    01 Regular John
    02 Avon
    03 If Only
    04 Walkin' on the Sidewalks
    05 You Would Know
    06 The Bronze *
    07 How to Handle a Rope (A Lesson in the Lariat)

    this is true...disappointing for some
    mainly for us freaks who scour the web in search of rare and unreleased shit
    have tons of b-sides, live shows, Desert Sessions, etc.
    if u can imagine..not all people have figured out how to use the web to their benefit
    so for some it will feel like "new" stuff
    and for others (like us) we can only hope its a better or cleaner version of what we already have...
    what I usually do when I find b-sides and scrapped songs online, I'll just add them to the end of the album they were related to on my ipod...so i guess some of us are just spoiled 8-)
    personally, im just glad this is happening b/c i feel the self titled needed the remaster more than Rated R
    and having TCV around has posed questions as to the continuation of Queens...so its nice to know they arent ready to stop...ive only seen the Queens once live and Im hoping that it wasnt the only time I will ever see them

    JH seems to love being busy (probably why he and Dave Grohl get along so well), I can't see him ever stopping Queens. It's his own solo vehicle/outlet, and I love it. I love TCV too. I really would love to see them live. I've seen Queens several times, but seeing JH with Dave and JPJ on the same stage would make my head explode.

    The bonus tracks are amazing though. I play "Never Say Never" atleast five times a day. Born to Hula is also just incredible!

    I love Era Vulgaris but it is their weakest album. I'd rank my favorite Queens albums as:
    1.Self TItled
    2. Rated R
    3. Songs for the Dead/ Lullabies (Love them both the same!)

    do it w/ Radiohead too 8-) :lol:
    we're not alone...i just keep telling myself that

    Back to Queens tho...personally...why dont they just merge the two bands (Queens & Vultures)? Vultures open for Queens 8-) Dave Grohl should just can Foo Fighters - IMO he's a better drummer than singer/guitar player - and be the permanent drummer for Queens...JPJ - shit, add him on there, trade him out whatever, its freakin JPJ!!! The other dude is already in the Queens....and Josh...yes indeed he needs to keep busy..like I mentioned earlier w/ his work w/ the Arctic Monkeys and not to mention Eagles of Death Metal..it seems like the guy just cant sit still - which is totally cool with me.

    lol
    this is mine
    Tied: Rated R/Lullabies
    Tied: Self Titled/Songs for the Dead
    Last: Era Vulgaris

    Songs for the Dead would be higher for me if there werent so many radio clips/weird lady talking btw. each song...I feel like im constantly skipping through that shit when i play it.
    Either way...i dont know why i just did that
    I really hate lists :lol:
    and I just remembered that Im at work right now, so yah...i should probably do something...Ive been here (at work and on the board) for 2 hrs now :oops: :lol:

  • I love the Foo. If ever I'm in a bad mood, all I have to do is put on one of two bands, and I instantly feel better:

    1) QOTSA
    2) Foo

    And to a lesser extent Wolfmother. PJ is my "deep" band. Except for Backspacer of course. ;)

  • I dont hate the Foo
    it just never really caught on for me
    I like it if i hear it
    I like the Colour and the Shape
    but it just doesnt really do it for me
    I like Grohl on drums the best

    I love that about Songs for the Dead. It's a concept album which I think is cool. Just a fun joy ride through the desert!! :twisted:

    A merger between TCV and QOTSA would be great! Grohl is a great drummer but I like joey just as much. They are both beasts behind the kit! Maybe switch out Mikey Shoes for JPJ although I like Mikey Shoes too. I wish they would let him sing more of Nick's songs. He has a scream just like Nick

    Tension Head is one of my favorites! That is one of the greatest/hardest sounding riffs.

    Josh's guitar playing is just so awesome. I have a legit man crush on Homme :oops: I love all the improve stuff he adds to songs during live shows. Over the Years and Through the Woods is a great example of that. One of the best Live albums and DVD's I've seen :thumbup: The extended version of No One Knows gives me body chills.

    p.s. All this QOTSA love makes me happy. I never see any talk of these guys around here.

    p.p.s. I am also at work and wasting time on this forum. Gotta love it! :D

    I have gotten permission from my other half, that, if the stars align properly, Josh is my one time get outta jail free card if u know what i mean 8-)
    yum...its the hips, the way he talks and sings and mmmmm
    funny...im not usually into gingers :lol:
    and, ive been able to even convince a few people over the years of how hot he is
    yes...that dvd is it right there....how can you watch that and not want to do him :?:
    ok...now i have crossed the line...dirty thoughts at work.
    i might as well be a dude
    this is bad...bad, bad

    this thread should be renamed sorry Paul David - it has evolved into the Queens and Vultures thread.
    kinda has a nice ring to it... like Ticks and Leaches...but thats a whole 'notha thread 8-)

  • I've got the 1st album on red vinyl off ebay a few years ago although I'm sure it is a bootleg but it sounds pretty good, a remastered reissue of this would be nice, R rated hasn't so far had the vinyl treatment on it's deluxe version although I do have a pressing already of it I would like Self Titled, R Rated & Songs on 180 gram audiophile please.

    Josh did mention a new TCV album before the end of the year well at least recording one so that must have been shelved unless it will just appear Jack White style, a new material from Eagles would be nice aswell. A news Queens album is always welcome although I thought TCV, Lullables, Heart On were all better than Era Vulgaris in my view, isn't their new Dessert Sessions due as well, a boxset was promised and a best of sometime ago?

    Easy solution to getting rid of the intros if you have itunes...
    right click on the song
    select 'get info'
    click the options tab
    look down and you can write in when you want the song to start and end
    you can be super precise and add a decimal point after the seconds column and select the tenths, hundredths, etc of when you want the song to start

    I did that to songs for the deaf a while ago and the album is a beast and flows better, imo.

    They are criminally underrated and are one of the best rock bands out there.

    By they way, they are the TIGHTEST live band I've ever seen. No fuck ups or bum notes. This performance always blows me away...

    I think Queens is one of the few modern bands that gets almost universal acclaim on this board. I agree. :-)
