i caught them twice -- once in 2007 and once in 2014 (taped). maybe i will see them again in a few years. my ultimate regret is not getting tickets in 2003 alongside turbonegro.
i have witnessed some performances. i have soaked up a lot of memories.0 -

I really want these tix dammit - I happen to be taking a very close friend out for his birthday that night, and this would be an awesome surprise for him.

I also got waitlisted. I can't imagine it's easy getting a pair. I think the commodores max. capacity is 1100(ish). Say they keep 25% for VIP/Promos and such, that's a maximum of 800 tickets given away, which is 400 pairs. Not a lot :(On the other hand hotels in Vancouver are really expensive in the summer.... I would of gone, but my wallet would of been discouraged0

I had four people, all of us wait-listed. Too bad

Late commenting on the Madison show... I drove up from Chicago and generally enjoyed it despite getting cut short. I could believe it either way if they cut short due to noise restrictions or Josh being injured. The venue was a pain in that the security line was laughably slow... kinda par for the course for just about every venue I've been to in Wisconsin.
This was the fourth time I saw them on the tour and they sounded as good as ever! The setlist was great and it was the first time I heard the You Can't Quit Me Baby extended jam. The only real bummer was they cut out Regular John, which I still haven't seen them play live.

I’ve seen them a few times, first was their own headlining show at the Brixton Academy in London after their 2nd album R Rated, so around 2000, but they did play a ‘new’ song which was No One Knows, it was fucking great, pretty much all songs played were from the first two albums, which I like the most by far.
Next it was opening for AC/DC at Milton Keyes in the UK around 2001. Then opening for the Foo Fighters at Hyde Park in 2005-6 with Motörhead. Both awesome shows, AC/DC being the better headliners though.
Next was in Auckland, New Zealand in the co-headlining tour with Nine Inch Nails, 2014, they were good, If I Had A Tail live was great to hear, but NIN were much better and stole the show completely.
I probably wouldn’t go see them live now, their albums have gradually got worse and worse, the last one Villians, being a total turd imo, give me a break, what is that weak Mark Ronson produced shite. Plus, live the band has changed a lot, they dress like office workers now and have turned into complete posers, pretty embarrassing. Happens a lot with bands I’ve noticed, once they get very successful. They will never be as good musically or bad-ass as they were on those first three albums, those records are perfect.A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom.0 -

I saw them do the entire first album for the 10th anniversary tour at the Vogue in Indy....roughly 1500 capacity. That was awesome.

QOTSA was as good in May as they were the first time I saw them back in 2002.
I personally love how they’ve grown as a band & songwriters.0 -
I really admire the work ethic and raw R'n'R spirit of this band. Josh Homme seems like a good dude, so I'm willing to forgive a few missteps here and there (I'm neither perfect or the role-model type). The quality musical output from Homme is simply amazing:
Kyuss
Queens Of The Stone Age
The Desert Sessions
Eagles Of Death Metal
Them Crooked Vultures
Iggy Pop (Post Pop Depression)
I'm sure many other projects I'm forgetting too (even Lady Gaga collaboration comes to mind).
Rock on Josh!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcHKOC64KnE

It's a hopeless situation...0 -
Musically, they can do no wrong in my books. There are only a handful of songs I don’t love.
And ya - I can forgive missteps. The photographer thing was super stupid, yes, but overblown. Tired of hearing about it every time the band is mentioned.
Josh still tops my list of rock stars to party with. I think he’s hilarious.

There's obviously a handful of their greatest songs on there but has some only ok stuff as well. I never even listen to their first album. Not my vibe. Even Songs for the Deaf is only ok to me.

I think the following albums are f’ing amazing:
Self Titled
Songs for the Deaf
Era Vulgaris
Like Clockwork
Villians
Lullabies to Paralyze & Rated R are a little more hit or miss with me, but still have some amazing songs. (In the Fade is probably my favorite all time QOTSA song)
Nobody writes like Hommes does, he’s one of my favorite all time songwriters.0 -

lolobugg said:I agree with you. Their first two albums were game changers...I guess I am spoiled seeing them so early in their career. I am non plussed by their new stuff. Last time I saw them was on the first album "play the whole album" tour.
seeing them hen play all of their debut live would be awesome..A wop bop a loo bop a lop bam boom.0 -
reesdog said:Yeah, if you know them from the start you know what I’m talking about. You come in late with them then that’s probably the vibe that attracts you to them. For me knowing them from the start, the new stuff is not worth listening too..
