Saw them a couple of weeks ago... amazing! They played all their best songs, the performance was staggeringly tight and the sound absolutely brilliant. Best guest list I've been on all year!

Ive seen them twice- once in lollapalooza and once at The Orange Peel in Asheville. At lollapalooza i think they were trashed. Plus I hate outdoor sound. At The Orange Peel, they were bad-ass. Jack white did the sound for little while.

Saw them during the Songs For The Deaf tour (post-Grohl on drums) in a small club in Ft. Lauderdale, and they were wicked. Enjoy the show!

Saw them at Reading with Nick Oliveri still in the band - he got butt naked in front of thousands of people on the main stage, crazy guy.

They were really good, but I had to keep covering my eyes as the big screens at the side seemed to be fixed on his schlong slapping against the back of his bass!

I have seen them a couple times, and they put on a great show. Definitely a great live band

I saw them open up for NiN a few years ago...got backstage passes thanks to Yamaha. It was a cool show overall...but I was disapointed with Queens.

They played very well, but I expected a lot more energy live. They just kinda stood there. Reminded me of old higshcool bands just standing and playin. oh well.

Saw them at the Leeds Refectory about 3 weeks ago and they were incredible! They played all the hits which was great but also a lot of early stuff and B sides as well which i didn't expect them to do. Really amazing show. I came out of it absolutely drenched, exhausted, dehydrated and thoroughly thoroughly satisfied!

There's a lot of talk about how mysterious they are over what gear they use. Rightly so too in my opinion as they have a really distinct guitar sound.

Not as far as i've seen? Maybe i'm not looking right! They covered over their amp heads live anyway. Wikipedia has a list of things but who knows how reliable it is...

It's easy to get a sound similar Josh Homme's, this topic has already been covered several times in the past few weeks. Downtuning to C on most guitars and fiddling with your EQ or alternatively running into a bass amp will get you in the right ballpark. He's changed his gear constantly over the years and is notoriously secretive/playful about what he uses. I wouldn't take as gospel anything you've read on the internet about his setup.

Every time I see him he uses an ampeg v-2/4. The lead guy has used some different stuff (including bad cat, etc.). On songs for the deaf he supposedly used a lot of small amps like fender champs and such.

i used to LOVE QOTSA but the new stuff is just not the same to me.

i saw them live a couple of years ago, it was amazing, i also saw them play in Newbury Comics record store with no drummer, again it was goose bumps, it was that good.

i have two of these passes, i got this photo online.

josh homme has always been one of my favorite guitaist,, gotta love Kyuss. in-fact iv been playing old Kyuss all week.
