Song title: In the Fade

Artist: Queens of the Stone Age

Year: 2000

Why I like this song:

Recently I went to see Queens of the Stone Age perform live. It wasn't the first time I have seen Josh and his crew perform - that occurred back in 2007 - but the first time clearly established what to expect: A band that delivers on stage that they cease being a band and more a force of nature. As such, they are hands down one of the best live bands I've seen and worth a second look. 

First up on stage was the first of two support acts: the Chats. They delivered an energetic performance and were hilarious with their stage banter.

Next was CW Stoneking. He too delivered a solid performance and even had Vika and Linda Bull in his backing band (smart move).

And then came the Queens. They came onstage to the theme of A Clockwork Orange and went ahead into another rip roaring set. The majority of the songs came from the latest Villains album with one song from Rated R (as above), fours songs from Songs For the Deaf, two from Lullabies, one from two Vulgaris and two from Like Clockwork. I suppose it's a given that they are working off the back of a recently released album but I still wait for the way when I can see them live and they play Feel Good Hit of the Summer.

Still the Queens were fun to watch and they still deliver an inpressive live set.
