Re: Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris

Another question-do they actually pull off guitar solos on this one or is it more "modern"? meaning:either very short solos or just a rythmn break. I'm dying for some new long jams on the guitar!

Sick Sick Sick is the current single. Its not my favorite on the album and I think most of the other songs are definitely better, though I like Julian Casablancas guest vocals on the song. On a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give the album an 8.5. I actually think I like it better than R, but its definitely not up there with Songs for the Deaf.

Basically rhythm breaks, but haven't Queens of the Stone Age almost always done that? I don't really remember breaks for guitar solos on any of their albums. Thats more of a Kyuss thing isn't it?

I've only had a EP by QotnSA-it was a sampler and kinda strange. They get almost zero airplay where I live. Don't really know alot about these guys,guess my interest lies in Josh Homme-of Kyuss fame. I'd buy a reunion CD by Kyuss in a second! I suppose it wouldn't be fair to ask for a comparison between Kyuss and QotnSA-being the latter doesn't claim to be a new version of the former.

Check out Youtube for videos. Dave Grohl played drums on the album Songs for the Deaf.

Thanks for the heads up. Question: is QSA basically Josh with guest musicians or is there an actual core band?

Its kind of like how Dave Grohl is with the Foo Fighters. For the most part its Josh's band. I think there have been members of the band that have stuck around for a two albums (at the most), but its essentially a revolving door of different musicians. I'm not sure how their tour lineup is either.

If you want to see Josh back on drums, check out Eagles of Death Metal.
