Sadly one QOTSA show and one Interpol is all I could fit into my schedule.
-
I'll be there.
-
Hell fuckin' yeah...don't make fun of the old bearded dude in front rocking out. :) I cannot WAIT for this one.
-
Woot Woot
-
double woot.....?
I'll be there.
-
i'll be there. i'm so excited, i love qotsa.
-
Will be there!
-
There!

FANTASTIC show. Also, one of the most crowded shows i've ever been to....barely got a space in the back by the merch table. And I've been to several sold out shows. Worth every second, even on a Sunday.
Would have loved to hear "Feel good hit of the Summer," but I'm still happy. :)
QOTSA rules.
Any Dave Grohl sitings? :D
-
I stand by my double woot from earlier. Amazing show. I thought the sucession of song for the deaf/song for the dead would make my head explode. So Heavy. Mark Lanegan is one cool dude.

Tickets to a QOTSA show... $25...
Parking at the show... $10
Throwing objects on stage... $0...
Getting punked by Josh Homme in front of 1,300 people? PRICELESS.
Concur. Great show. Also... Throw Rag... wow. I dug 'em. Reminded me of a Rev show, but with less talent, less clothing, and ALL the rock. Fun live act--anyone heard any studio stuff?
Finally, can we get a ruling on the pronunciation of "Homme?" Kept hearing some girl yelling out to "Hah-mee."

LOL!! I was standing next to a girl who kept yelling HOMIE! It's homme, as in the French word for "man." I was seriously hoping Josh would leap off the stage and deck the person who threw the bottle. Unbelievable.
Great show all around...those guys in Throw Rag, hol-eeeee shit!!
-
So was it a bottle? I saw a stuffed duck on stage and someone else said it was a tshirt. His diatribe against the guy was a bit excessive but if it was a bottle then it was justified. A tshirt or stuffed animal, then he has anger issues.
No Dave Grohl sightings but Nick was on the right balcony.
-
And Brody was on the other balcony. I was on the balcony in the corner and saw two things fly at Josh. I couldn't tell what the first object was, thought it was a wad of paper. The second one definitely looked like a water bottle.
I didn't think Josh's remarks were excessive at all. After the first object was thrown, he flipped the bird, then a minute later the bottle goes flying through the air...hell, I'd be pissed, too.
-
I dug the show, I just wish they didn't gank my camera...they allowed a dude to record the entire set but I can't snap a few pictures because my camera is considered "professional"? Weak.

I asked the question yesterday afternoon. Had to bring my old G2 instead of the 20D, but no matter... I got some great shots. I guess that one is a little odd. Doesn't seem likely that I'd make money off of images of QOTSA, but who knows how these guys' management agencies think.

Cra-zy fun. You don't see an almost naked guy playing a washboard everyday. Although funny, a "scary" scene from Pulp Fiction came to mind one time.

Hehe, yeah, that dude does look as if he should be living in a basement.

WHat a fucking insane show. I have never laughed so hard at a concert as I did at Throw Rag, I was front and center and got sweat on and saw the lead singer's cock...I tried to look away, but when the dude is 4 feet away, it's a little hard to ignore. Yuck. I thought they rocked the house though. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. Grotesque, comical, and inexplicably brilliant.
QOTSA's set was great, a few glaring omissions like "In the Fade", "Better Living Through Chemistry", and "Feel Good Hit of the Summer", but it was fun to hear stuff like "Avon" and "You Would Know". The versions of "No One Knows" and "I Think I Lost My Headache" were just amazing. And of course "Regular John" was great too. The new version of "God Is In The Radio" was neat too.
The first thing that got thrown at Josh was a wad of paper of some sort...the second was some kind of stuffed animal. Josh was fucking PISSED...the glare that he gave showed that he is not one to be fucked with. I met him earlier in the day and he is a bit intimidating. Pleasant and polite, but he is a tall mofo and would definitely be capable of putting you in the hospital. The venom really fueled that last part of the show though.
My overall thought is that Josh kicked Nick out of the band because he wants to move the band foward into a realm that I think would make them more serious...perhaps more "professional". The musicianship this time around was quite impressive, the Queens are definitely moving foward in what Josh wants them to be. Having Nick around is probably like having your goofy younger brother playing pranks and getting loaded. After a while it's just embarassing, especially when you want to be more artistic and serious in your presentation. But sadly, Nick added that punk rock element to the band that made them more fun. Josh is absolutely brilliant, but he is always better with the cast of sidekicks. Nick (in my opinion) was the secret element to the Queens that pushed them over the edge into white light/white heat. All that being said, it was still an amazing concert. Troy is one hell of a musician and Joey Castillo can pound the skins. All in all, a great time.

I think that dick-jiggle dance the two guys from Throw Rag did is permanently burned into my brain.
-
Once I saw that one guy's ass, I had to leave the room. :eek:

Yeah, Throw Rag was really quite disturbing...but I haven't laughed that hard in a LONG time either!
