Queens of the Stone Age
"18 A.D."

Uh, oh! You either don't have the Flash plug-in installed, or you have it disabled.
Otherwise, there'd be a cute lil' streaming audio player on the left, rather than this message.

This was the first release under the Queens of the Stone Age nom de rock. There had been a 7" single released under the name Gamma Ray, but it turned out some German power metal band or something already had that name, so they changed it. This song's never appeared anywhere else and that's a darn shame. So, here it is appearing now.

Devil Dick said...

how in the world do you know about all that crap????

Really, that's kinda scary.

Lightning Baltimore said...

It's his own dang fault! I saw Solace when they played at the first Stoner Hands of Doom festival back in '99; I'd never heard of them before.

I actually already had the Prunella Scales CD at that point, however, as I'm a Skid Row fan, and Rachel Bolan was in PS. Plus, how could I not want to check out a band named for Sybil Fawlty?

Godspeed, he told me about.

As for Social Decay, he sent me a 7" EP they did a few years back.

I'd not known he was in Slaprocket 'til he mentioned it in the comments. There are no band members listed in the booklet, but it does, indeed, look like him in the tiny photo in the booklet.

And, there you have it.
