A Nod to (Essential) Queens of the Stone Age

Back a million years ago (ha..! get it, stone age...nm) Josh and Nick got along...songs were gritty...drugs flowed...and I was a big fan of Queens of the Stone Age. You have got to hear the first, self-titled album and the QOTSA/Beaver Split(both long out of print, and I have them both!). Not that the band is bad now...they just aren't...you know...what they were. Rated R had some amazingly bad ass moments. In fact...get that too...it wasn't until Songs for the Deaf (which was pretty damn good as well) that I started to lose interest...even though it was a strong album...and then Nick was gone...it's just too much of a fucking mess to try to keep up with anymore...(just look at the Wiki page on QOTSA). So if you can...get a hold of the first two...get a hold of the Beaver Split (ha! another joke...) and feel the vibe that used to be. This band used to smoke fucking everything...literally and figuratively!!!
