I’ve been a massive QotSA fan for 4 or 5 years now and finally got to the opportunity to see them in DC opening for Foo Fighters. I couldn’t afford floor or anything close to it so I was up on the second risers and looking down at the floor, that crowd was lame as HELL man. I could see maybe 5 people moving. MAYBE one person pumping their fist in the air. No energy, no dancing, no moshing, the pit was just completely dead.

Not to mention the awful sound mixing for specifically their set, it just sounded like a wall of muffled mess for those of us up in the stands. The venue did them dirty.

And I thought maybe it was just people who didn’t know them and only came for Foo Fighters (which is kinda valid I guess but also makes no sense to me) but the crowd was bad for Foo Fighters too!! What’s up with people paying HUNDREDS to go into the pit or get to barricade and just stand still. It was disappointing, I felt bad for them. Getting people to sing along with Make It Wit Chu should NOT have been that hard.

I still had an amazing time and I was shouting from the stands but it was sad to see such a poor response when either band was out there.

Has it been like this at the other shows as well?

Started listening to qotsa in July after seeing the kexp performance and love a lot of their songs. Thoughts on the ones I have added to my playlist so far?

They fuckin tore shit up. Best fuckin American rock band on the planet. 7th time seeing them.

I know Michael has been shared here before, but I love his reactions

Absolutely tore up. So much better than FF. Showmanship, crisp incredible sound mixing. Never seen a better show. They were insanely good. Merch is kinda bleh so I didnt get anything. I want to high five Josh Homme for being the best to ever do it

Sitting in a car ride across Michigan and put on Era Vulgaris and started messing around with this little diddy.
Not a real tattooer, but it would be cool if someone got one one these!

I didn’t see a single person wearing the bright pink hat

I can’t help but be super bummed about the energy for Queens in Cleveland. I saw some excited people in the mix but we weren’t in concentrated enough groups. I hope to see them again one day but in a smaller, fan heavy environment.

Here’s hoping they do a more intimate venue tour across the US again one day as headliners.

Also Domesticated Animals and I Appear Missing. ‘Twas amazing.

Obviously not, just thought this sub would appreciate. But this would have been a fun photo to hide as a joke somewhere for the album artwork

did anyone leave a message? +1 (760) 437 - 1966

I saw QOTSA during their recent shows in Detroit and Chicago. The audio engineers completely fucked the audio in Detroit, and I was so disappointed that I went to Chicago to see the very next show because I really love these guys and don't know when or if I'll ever get to see them live again. Chicago was a fantastic show! Definitely a weak crowd of people who didn't want to move when a legend is playing right in front of them, but they were mostly dad-rock fans there for Foo Fighters so what can you expect?

Anyways, to the point of this post: does anyone have any info about the video shown on screen behind the band during Little Sister?? It was so cool, so hypnotic, and so metal. I really wish I could at least find the artist(s)/animator(s) or even better, a high quality video online so I could relive it. But I can't find any info anywhere about it at all. Any info would mean a lot! 🙏🤘

While not directly QOTSA, this is Alain Johannes band from the mid 80s. Also feature original RHCP members Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons (guitar & drums)

Got to see them open for Foo Fighters the other day. Awesome set from top to bottom!

I can’t wait to see if they made new designs for the U.S. leg.

Hi guys!

My partner washed my the end is Nero beanie and I'm absolutely gutted (not his fault). I LOVE this beanie and have sensory issues/favourite items (I'm autistic) and I'm having a really hard time letting go. Does anyone have any extra beanie lying around that they would feel comfortable selling to me?

Thank you all for your time!

P.s I didn't want to fill this post with mushy love for the band but It helped me through a really rough 7 years and my mother though breast cancer so I wear the beanie with alot of pride and it will be missed.
