Queens of the Stone Age
Queens of the Stone Age is a rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States. The band is frequently labeled stoner rock, although they reject the label. They developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which the band's founder and mastermind Josh Homme described as "robot rock", saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, just pound it into your head". Since then, their sound has evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences. Read Full BioQueens of the Stone Age is a rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States. The band is frequently labeled stoner rock, although they reject the label. They developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which the band's founder and mastermind Josh Homme described as "robot rock", saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, just pound it into your head". Since then, their sound has evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.

While in high school, Homme got together with locals Brant Bjork, Chris Cockrell (later replaced by Nick Oliveri) and John Garcia resulting in the formation of Kyuss (firstly known as "Sons of Kyuss"). Queens of the Stone Age formed in 1997, rising from the ashes of Kyuss and began playing together during the now legendary Desert Sessions. Homme has drawn all of the members from that diverse group of musicians for Queens of the Stone Age. The band originally formed under the name Gamma Ray, but almost faced a lawsuit from the European metal band of the same name.

Queens of the Stone Age have gone through many line-up changes since first breaking into the hard rock scene. Their most recent line-up includes: Josh Homme (guitar, vocals), Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar, lap steel, keyboards, backing vocals), Jon Theodore (drums, percussion), Michael Shuman (bass, backing vocals), and Dean Fertita (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals).

Former core members include Joey Castillo, Alain Johannes, Natasha Shneider, Mark Lanegan, and Nick Oliveri, among other members and contributors. In 2002, regarding the band line-up, Homme said: "It really is more of a musical experiment… It keeps moving and reinventing itself. That way we never get painted into a corner."

Dave Grohl recorded drums, percussion and backing vocals on Songs for the Deaf and toured in support of the album in 2002 before returning to the Foo Fighters. Grohl also made a live appearance in 2007, to play Make It wit Chu, and recorded tracks on …Like Clockwork, following Joey Castillo's departure.

Mark Lanegan has long been an on/off vocalist for the band, toured from 2001 to 2005 and made live appearances in 2007 and 2010. He has recorded with the band on all albums except for their self-titled debut album. Lanegan has also played keyboards in live performances during the tour preceding the release of Lullabies to Paralyze, before Natasha Shneider joined the band.

Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri were seen as the only two consistent Queens of the Stone Age members. Oliveri had previously played alongside Homme in the band Kyuss and joined Queens of the Stone Age as its permanent bass guitarist and co-lead vocalist, in 1998, upon the release of its debut album, Queens of the Stone Age. Being friends since childhood, the two meshed well together. Oliveri's punk background brought an element of danger and attitude to the Queens' live shows. As the band's two core members, the duo recorded the breakthrough albums, Rated R and Songs for the Deaf, together. Oliveri's unique "howling" singing style made him easily distinguishable on songs such as Six Shooter from the album Songs for the Deaf; he also displays a more melodic singing style in Rated R songs such as Auto Pilot.

However, Homme fired Oliveri in 2004 for excessive partying and an alleged incident of domestic abuse (an accusation which Oliveri strongly denies). The duo repaired their friendship shortly afterwards. Oliveri, however, did not return to the band. In 2013, upon hearing that former contributor Dave Grohl was recording drums for the band's sixth studio album, …Like Clockwork, Oliveri asked Homme if he too could return on bass guitar. Homme ultimately did not grant Oliveri's request. He does, however, appear on backing vocals on the album track, If I Had a Tail.

No One Knows
Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics


We get some rules to follow
That and this
These and those
No one knows

We get these pills to swallow
How they stick
In your throat
Tastes like gold

Oh, what you do to me
No one knows

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ah

I journey through the desert
Of the mind
With no hope
I follow

I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone

Pleasantly caving in
I come undone

And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
And I realize you're mine
Indeed a fool am I
Ah

Heaven smiles above me
What a gift here below
But no one knows

A gift that you give to me
No one knows

fuck you

i mean except ive legit never heard of anyone that would put this even in their top 50 let alone top 10. is it catchy(ish)? sure. but ill put it this way...i have never even considered this riff to be "good" let alone an all time great till i saw your comment...and still do not think it qualifies. If you think THIS is an all time great riff then your musical horizons are frankly, terrible.(not trying to insult, just saying go look for more rock man.) i wont even list a song, and instead groups that have multiple songs that are easily more iconic in terms of riffs.

Heart
System Of a Down
Rage Against The Machine
Led Zepplin
Metallica
Nirvana
Stone Temple pilots
Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Bullet For My Valentine
Guns & Roses
Aerosmith
Pink Floyd

that list is still missing at least 10 top tier guitarists, all sorts of amazing rifts from big bands, and even one hit wonder riffs.....just the list would take me probably a day to complete, and id still probably miss at least 100 riffs/guitarist better than what is in this song. its not a bad song, or guitar riff/part. but no where near an "all time greatest" anything.

It’s impossible not to focus in on Dave’s drumming. One of the gnarliest songs ever on the drums 👍🏻

Teresa Coles

But Dave is leading the beat but I know what u mean but the bassist is awesome lol what a band

Matthew Tyler

@DustyNebulus yep. No shame in a band being businessmen.

Does it really matter - look at me, look at me - I think I know shite and I’m going to piss over everyone/everything - fuck off.. this gives people some joy and we need some of that - no matter how piss poor your little mind thinks it is..

Christophe Decock

completely agree !

bakkels

@Sam Wright I did. It's a great feat of supportive drumming. Comparing it to what Grohl did here is jst delusional though. And that's coming from a very big fan of old school rock / southern rock.

Boy, it does my heart good to see Dave ‘the beast’ Grohl beat the ever loving shit out of the drums.
ROCK ON BRO

Minority Hunter Zoro

I like how everyone is talking about how great the music is and nobody is talking about how batshit insane the music video is but hey i guess that says more about the music that it can make people focus more on it than the weirdest and funniest music video ever playing in the background

Reginaldo Chagas

Caraca este baterista tem um potencial enorme!

Maria Ferrari

It's crazy how this song has zero nostalgic effect on me because I haven't stopped playing it in 20 years.
