Nope. Kind of a big deal!
Also, they scrubbed Song for the Dead in favor of Paper Machete. Apparently, the drum tech ran into some trouble, so they didn't have enough time. No idea how accurate the last part is though.

Always glad to hear songs from the best Queens record!
I bought a ticket to see them next year but I'm still kind of on the fence.

I thought Regular John was rare before this tour. Guess I don't know shit.

Re: How to Handle a Rope / The Queens of the Stone Age Threa
I was going to buy tickets to see them when they come here, and maybe I just haven't been to a show in a while, and that's why the price shocked me some - but I'm not spending $170 on a single concert ticketBirds in Hell wrote:tragabigzanda wrote:Do they still play Regular John…regularly?Seems like it had a rest for a while, but it's opened six of the last eight shows.Ello Sailor wrote:Nope.

Re: How to Handle a Rope / The Queens of the Stone Age Threa
Just saw them last Friday in San Diego.
We know these guys are as tight as can be playing live, yet every time I see them, I get to re-learn that bit.
Many moments from this show will stick with me, but the very start of this show will be above the rest for me:
House lights out, pretty dark in the arena as Peggy Lee's version of "Smile" is fading out over the PA, then boom! We get to kick the night off with "No One Knows". Not a lot of bands today can start start a show like that. And those who can, struggle to maintain that energy level and engagement. Not these guys.
2023-12-15 San Diego, CA
01 No One Knows
02 First It Giveth
03 Monsters in the Parasol
04 Smooth Sailing
05 My God Is the Sun
06 Emotion Sickness (Acapella outro after pausing to deal with security and a crowd surfer)
07 If I Had a Tail
08 Carnavoyeur
09 The Way You Used to Do
10 Battery Acid
11 You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire (Josh had crowd vote between Millionaire and Sick Sick Sick)
12 I Sat by the Ocean (Audience request)
13 Paper Machete (Audience request)
14 Make It Wit Chu (w/Rolling Stones’ Miss You tag)
15 Little Sister
Encore:
16 Regular John (replaced Obscenery on printed setlist)
17 I Think I Lost My Headache
18 Go With the Flow
19 A Song for the Dead

Wedging "The Way You Used to Do" between "Carnavoyeur" and "Battery Acid" is a crime. Talk about a speedbump.

I have to correct myself on Like Clockwork. I’ve been listening more, and it might be in my top spot now.

I don't get why "Villains" scores so low among fans.
I love it.

I really hate it
Never come back to it really. Its the production and the songs themselves.
