" Elephants "
Painted as monsters,
borracho, cansado.
Do you know what the people say?
Plucked from the garden
of wicked beliefs,
I offer a rose
and smile with harmless teeth.
Then slick back my hair,
You know the devil's in there?
Alone in the garden.
Like lumbering giants
in a shameful parade,
we came to ruin all and
make a rotten trade.
So roll over...
Scattered on the shore,
surely washed away.
Feeling somewhat deserving
of what will be someday.
No I can never stay melancholy,
I've the memory of your face.
No I can never stay melancholy for long...
until I move on.
We're unwanted strangers,
exploited and dangerous,
unable to hide or even dream of it.
Como estas?
parting the seas,
like lepers who stroll,
why you afraid sweety?
I slick back my hair,
you know the devil's in there?
So keep one eye open baby.
We're so easy to spot,
lepers riding atop.
Pachyderms full of germs,
elephants broken and screaming and...
Scattered on the shore
surely washed away.
Feeling somewhat deserving
of what will be someday.
No I can never stay melancholy,
I've the memory of your face.
All alone in the garden
of long lost hopeful plans.
No I can never stay anything.....
for long.

JPJ is probably the oldest guy in the stadium (about 65 here), laying down lines that all the kids in the audience are grooving to. That's just cool.
That tempo drop at 1:30 gives me chills every time.

Yeah !!!!
Dave is an absolute beast in that song
Definitely has a QOTSA vibe. Thats pretty impressive for Josh to stand out amongst the incredibly talented musicians..
Love how dave kit is the same colour as his DG-335
Amazing how Dave makes one simple 4/4 beat sound so awesome and groovy!!

This comment is 12 years old but, as someone who learned the song on drums, the beat is not simple at all to play. It requires independent movement from both arms and legs while keeping the beat steady with the open hi hat.
That guy on the drums should star a band

That drummer is a spitting image of the lead singer from Foo Fighters, and the drummer of Nirvana! what the hell!
Do they like purposely not film Alain? I know he's not an official member and stuff but not filming him during gigs is pretty lame... Badass band none the less!

Really? Better than Josh? I mean tons of respect to Johannes, he's had his hands in numerous seminal albums and is a very very good guitarist, but better than Josh? I doubt that.

Also to answer your question, its because he's not part of the band, he isn't part of Them Crooked Vultures, the band that people came to see. This happens with bands like Black Keys too. Btw, the cover of Elephants on your page, nice stuff!!

***** Hm I can understand what you say, but I still disagree with the fact they did that. If you're on the stage for the night, you're part of the god damn band for the night. No big egos, just fun and good music is my opinion! And thank you for the amazing compliment on my video!! I appreciate it and it motivates me to upload the new videos I've been working on soon. I was also impressed by the drummer, for the fact that he was able to jam Dave Grohl's drums while singing. It was an honor to be the singer and guitarist in that band as long as it lasted!! (except for that night ofc, as he wanted to sing on his own exam haha)

Rabin Miguel as musicians yeah, that's how we see it, but that's how businesses work man. The average music fan would be turned off wondering who's the extra bald guy. 'I paid to see Grohl not some bald dude' we appreciate Johannes cause we've seen his talent and of course we understand the suffering of a musician so to say hahaha. I know TCV seems like that band, and I love it for that, don't care attitude, just 3 friends jamming hahaha. You're welcome!! Please do upload more! Looking forward to more TCV stuff hehe. Oh ikr, I'm a drummer by heart and even i lose focus whenever I try to hum the melody of a song. Singing and playing is a very very under-appreciated skill.
Dave Grohl reminds me a lot of Bonzo playing drums with the beard, the head down, the hair over the face and the strenght that he used to play with
i love the sound of that snare drum
Best living rhythm section on Earth
I just read Dave Grohl's AMA on Reddit and he said this is his favorite song to play on the drums out of his career. You can really see that energy here!

Can hear it too, as he's clipping the mic on that snare in the intro he's hitting it so damn hard. 😅
10 years later and still gold
We call that a super group. This is one of the only ones that work
When I hear this song it gives me power,it makes me run, I love it. DG is the best !!!
this seems to have a much better mix for the bass than the studio version. I can hear a lot of subtle stuff coming through that i never noticed before. If they make another album hopefully it'll be louder in the mix
This may just be one of the best live recording mixes I've heard.
dave grohl is so good at the drums its scary..
Dave Grohl is the most amazing person in this world! OMG! He rocks! This band is fucking incredible and Foo Fighters are.... I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT I FEEL ABOUT THESE BANDS!
Jonesy's bass lines!!!!! Wow!!! Jpj has got to be coolest fucking guy ever, zeppelin forever!!!! \m/
Johnny Paul Jones for the love of god how great he is im speechles

What else can I say that THIS BAND is F***** AWESOME !!!
now that's fucking Rock & Roll nice sound
they talk about super groups,these guys are just fucking awesome players of musical instruments,and they know how to make a band.timing is everything.
Best concert i ever saw in Sydney and my kids came too -- absolutely top shelf and i give myself this for christmas
If there was any reincarnation of Bonham / Jones rhythm section, it would be this line up..they're solid and tight as a nun's ass..
Please make a second record !
Intoxicating ... speechless
so much epicness
THAT FUCKING RIFFFFFFFF !!!!
me encanta esta canción, todas sus lineas están muy bien pensadas y ademas tiene una energía barbara,grolh, jones, homme, johannes, fantasticos
Totally awesome :)
The Websters dictionary definition of super group
Ahhhhhhhh just three of the very very best living artists. If i was given three time machine returns it would have to be The Pixies , The Doors and these guys. Fucking love Josh Homme and then you have the worlds best living rock God in Dave Grohl and JPJ on fucking bass. Out of this world amazing. Now if they could fit Shane McGowan and Nick Cave in as songwriters my world domination plan would be complete!. AhhhhHaaaaaAhhhhhhhHaaaaaaa
Excellent up rob. This gave ne a deffo tune -up :)
An angel just came
MARAVILHA
very cool
IT'S NOT LOUD ENOUGH. EVER. GOD. DAMN. IT.
Awsome vid i agree
HELL YEAH!
Jesuschrist JPJ & Grohl wiped out my brain here.. Well, al of them crooked badasses. Masterpiece
yeah, thanks, mate
That bassline.
FRESH POTS
Hey i'm at a concert with some of the most talented people crammed in one group in the first row, let me watch and record the whole concert through my shitty 6 inch cell phone screen.....
Josh also has Eagles of Death Metal and The Desert Sessions that are still active.
Insane
They got JPJ cranked up on this one. Very interesting sound.
@AHybridMonkey That frickin' color is awesome, so there's that
daqui a pouco eu to de volta na parada é o rock in roll all night meus broders !
que foda 😈😈😈❤❤
I had no idea John Paul Jones was in this band... but now that I know, it is so much more awesome. And also, isn't Dave in 2 bands at once since he is also in the Foo Fighters?
i would die if they came to Australia!
Josh is something like 6'6". He made me look like a midget when I met him.
I just realized that Alain an josh switched harmonies in the chorus
Paul McCartney: 'I nearly joined Them Crooked Vultures instead of John Paul Jones' Paul McCartney has revealed he asked about joining Them Crooked Vultures on bass, only to be told by Dave Grohl that John Paul Jones had already beaten him to it.
Mr. Grohl really is Beast mode engage in this song ^_^

saintsteffie I would hate to be Dave's drums with how hard he beats them!
WOWWWWWW FUCK THIS IS SO GOOD I CANT DESCRIBE IT.
I don’t know if he was part of the writing process but having Alain Johannes just playing in your band you can expect that it’s gonna be good, creative, and tight. 🤌🏼
"HOLY FU**ING SHIT!!!" was my reaction after watching this for 23637 times ....oh wait
Marching thunder stomping

fucking awesome
aahahhahaaahhahah yeah man!
la intro suena ajustadisima...
that bass sounds ugly as fuck I love it ;)
6:40 -> Dave: Nirvana mode activeted!
Oozing Zeppelin
THIS is Grohl
Does Josh always play on tiny guitars or is it just because he's huge? :p Great performance by the way!
i see this video because dave grohl playing drums ;-)
Дейв неперевершений
To be more specific a Maton MS2000 DLX
At first thought,,,,,,, Dave Grohl, OMG what a drummer ,,,, and second thought he’s wearing shorts !! Taylor larn ya that ?
Dave Grohl is in 2 bands(Foo Fighters),so is Josh(Queens of the stone age) and John Paul Jones used to be in Led zeppelin :D
John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl together! ITS PERFECT, dAVE fuckin rule!!! he is the MEN....
lol'ed at the intro, when dave hits the snare it sounds like he farts
3:15 is that Alain Johaness?

JPJ looks young enough to be Jimmy Page's son. He was around 64 during this performance.
The bass player looks like Lance Henriksen!
Do somebody know what guitar is this Josh is playing with?

And that's why Dave should stick to drums....
Way too much horsepower on stage to have a snare sound that bad. Ffs...
