How to Handle a Rope / The Queens of the Stone Age Thread

[run2death]

Since leaving newspapers, I'm happy to butcher the fuck out of words and grammar.

The only time it got my dander up on RM was when someone (Sarge?) tried to convince everyone "it's" is possessive.

[epilogue]

Obviously, I have some of the worst grammar, spelling, punctuation and sentence structure of any even semi-educated asshole on the internet. I don't actually give a good tin shit what anyone wants to do/write/say on this message board regarding this issue. Because I have no right to criticize. I'm the worst. No, LITERALLY.

I'm still enjoying this thread more than I do QOTSA.

God bless America

[Jammer XCI]

Grammar is better than Soundgarden.

I'm still enjoying this thread more than I do QOTSA.

It's not even close.

These lasts few posts have been my everything. Thank you, RM.

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE
SONGS FOR THE DEAF (2002)

"Finally Radio Free - DJ Skits removed"

00 The Real Song For The Deaf
01 You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire
02 No One Knows
03 First It Giveth
04 A Song For The Dead
05 The Sky Is Fallin'
06 Six Shooter
07 Hangin' Tree
08 Go With The Flow
09 Gonna Leave You
10 Do It Again
11 God Is In The Radio
12 Another Love Song
13 A Song For The Deaf
14 Hidden Track
15 Mosquito Song

While amusing at first, over the years the radio skits that pepper QOTSA's classic album 'Songs For The Deaf' have become
increasing annoying, getting in the way of an overwise enjoyable listening experience. I need the songs, not a saga.

So I decided to take the time to carefully remove the skits, patching up the few song intros and outros that they (slightly)
overlapped, using other sources available:

Millionaire - 'WWF Tough Enough 2' compilation
No One Knows - 'Sample This School Boy' promo
First It Giveth - CD single
Hangin' Tree - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)
Go With The Flow - CD single
Do It Again - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)
Another Love Song - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)
Song For The Deaf - leaked demo version (mastered by thir13en)

Care was taken to ensure that edits are audibly invisible, and that the new gap transitions between songs are suitable.

I'd be surprised if this hasn't been done in some form by someone somewhere before, but as far as I know this is
the first time such a version of the album has been distributed over the interweb.

Given the difficulty in playing and ripping the pre-gap track 'The Real Song For The Deaf', I've included it here as a stand
alone track for anyone interested, along with the 'Hidden Track' (the rhymthic laughing version of 'Feel Good Hit') which
you may or may not want to include in this skit-free version of the album (I prefer not, personally).

This was a very satisfying project to work on, so I hope you enjoy the radio-free listen as well.

I heard part of "Head Like a Haunted House" today, sounds like Dead Kennedys and Era Vulgaris.

[LetMeSleep]

Tonight.

[Dev]

Tonight.

What is?

[LetMeSleep]

That was a pretty sweet show. Got there late so I missed the support. Met some mates, grab some beers and headed in. Got a spot about twenty metres from the stage dead centre. Zeb was nearer the front. We didn't meet up unfortunately as I hit the road straight after the show. One day.

The band seemed in good mood and after a little uncertainty in the mix they hit their stride about 3 songs in. Sound was a bit of an issue throughout, I guess the sound guy needs to learn the new material too. The Way was a sonic mess, no snare and all Josh's guitar. It lack a lot because of it. From then out the snare was missing, bass lacked any punch and it was all Homme's guitar in the mix, right up in your face. Just a bit off and took the enjoyment out of it for me. I like my drums clear. JT was a beast and in a few shows time they'll be on fire. I would have liked more new stuff and more from the first two albums but they're gearing up for a festival slot and these are warm up shows. They were better than when I saw them in 2014 when Josh was sick as a dog.

Setlist
Turnin' on the Screw
Monsters in the Parasol
Little Sister
The Evil Has Landed
Smooth Sailing
I Sat by the Ocean
Sick, Sick, Sick
Feel Good Hit of the Summer
If I Had a Tail
Burn the Witch
The Vampyre of Time and Memory
Make It Wit Chu
The Way You Used to Do
My God Is the Sun
You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, but I Feel Like a Millionaire
Go With the Flow
No One Knows

Encore:
A Song for the Dead

Can I have one too? Please?

[KurtLeon]

So, Villains have been leaked...

[LetMeSleep]

So, Villains have been leaked...

Most streams have been taken down apparently. It's also a rip from a stream so has volume issues.

Yes, I got it, BUT.
It is still better than I thought it would be
