Would I like Queens of Stone Age

[VanillaBean]

I have recently heard some very nice things about the Queens of Stone Age and i was wondering if i should check them out. So i decided to ask you all on the Escapist, would I like Queens of Stone Age. Here are my favorite bands to help you understand my musical taste.

The Beatles
Aerosmith
Arcade Fire
Weezer
Muse
Queen

Please put any other opinions you have about the Queens and other related comments

Give a few of their songs a listen, and see for yourself. You might like them, but only you will be able to tell.

Yeah, they're pretty good, but make sure to get Songs for the Deaf, because that's easily their best album. Check out songs like No one knows and go with the flow on youtube.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

They're ok. Not my cup of tea but you need to give them a listen for yourself.

 

[Julianking93]

Just go to youtube and listen to a few of their songs.

I became a fan after hearing Little Sister on the soundtrack to Project Gotham Racing 3.

Also, Go With The Flow has a brilliant video.

@Outright Villainy: 100% seconded

@OP: I don't mean to sound like a douche, but seriously... Go listen to the music. Don't ask someone if you will like a subjective medium that is purely based on personal interest (regardless of what your current taste in music is). Experience it, don't ask for a handout on this sort of subject matter. If you do, one of three things will happen:

A) "OMG THIS IS THE SHIZZ!!"
B) "Ehhh, it's okay I guess..."
C) "Dood u suxorz dis b@nd iz SUXXX!!!!111!"

Again, not to sound like a douche, but that's what will happen. If you're even slightly interested in a band, find some of their music, and LISTEN TO IT (it's not like it's hard to find, check YouTube like Julianking93 suggested). I understand modern patterns towards asking in forums about everything under the sun, but when it comes to subjective matters such as this, you can only experience it, you can't be told what it is.



EDIT: NVM searching YouTube a nice link has just been posted! How about that?

Their best Album is Rated R, but judging from your personal musical tastse... I do not think you would like the Queens of the Stone Age.
If you had mentioned Kyuss or Green River in there somewhere, I'd have easily recommended them to you, but I don't think they will be your cup of tea.

I reckon they're pretty good, In My Head isn't too metal-ish. And if you like metal, Sick Sick Sick.


Oh, and get No One Knows.

I know you'll love them, if not just for their awesome videos.

I beg to differ, I listen to most of those bands and still Love QOTSA, easily one of my top bands. Listen to some Era Vulgaris though it's more newbie friendly listening.

People seem to know me by my love for them, so yea, I suggest you check them out.

Try these songs.

Spoiler

I suggest you also try out Them Crooked Vultures.

EDIT: I thought I may just clarify that I fucking love them.
