the funniest thing about this cover they could just ask mark lanegan to do the vocals but decided against it because people gonna mistaken this cover to tom waits remastered version....
For those who don't know, the screengrab is from From Dusk Til Dawn and that's Quentin Tarantino's boot hanging out the window of a 1970 Mercury Cougar. George Clooney is driving after they just robbed a gas station, killed the owner and torched the place. There's a kidnapped woman in the trunk.
The song has such a Queens feel to it, great idea for a cover. Also the photo you've chosen is perfect - this is serious US road trip soundtrack territory.
He's one of the only musicians who I'd say it feels perfectly natural for him to be singing Tom Waits songs. Josh Homme is the younger newer Tom Waits basically

In French, there is a saying: "Les gouts et les couleurs ne se discutent pas." I believe the same thing about music. The only thing I don't understand is those people that say that that the riff ain't right, sounds nothing like the original,... I heard the song on the radio and recognized it on the spot. Nothing wrong with my ears, I assure you. This is brilliant, QOTSA. Nothing less than that.
just terrific....the best thing about artists like Mr. Waits, and our friends the Queens is that they don't give a shit if you like it or not.... and the bonus is that there's millions out there who would light their face on fire to be in the same room with such talent and vision.....
Robert Paulson i hear you, and honestly I couldn't tell you man... probably the same reason ,why people look at the Tom Waits portrait tattoo on my leg and ask the question, " Tom who?".... LOL..you just can't figure 'em out...... humans, strange creatures.
This song rules so hard. Both versions. And any future covers. Because if you're going to pay tribute and cover an artist of godly proportions, a Tom Waits song solidifies the fact that you have good taste. QOTSA was already beyond awesome before I heard this cover. Now, I'm exponentially confident of their excellence.
I like this version because it's brighter. It has kind of a reddish tone where the waits version is a dark whiskey brown. I like the Waits version too, but they are noticably different if you know what you're listening for. This has that California, driving, Fu Manchu stoner-rock, 'drive fast' thing going where Waits' is a grizzy blues rock cruise.
I think they do a pretty good job - they got that driving, pumping sound and I like the fact that the singer is doing his own thing with it - lets face it, only Waits can sing like Waits.
@ColmaKiddo It was the Ramones covering Tom Waits, not the other way round (I Don't Want to Grow Up). It's from the 1992 album Bone Machine and The Ramones did it on the 1995 album Adios Amigos.
I like different takes on good songs, great to see different interpretations of songs that obviously made an impact on the people who choose to mix up the original version.....
that's why this cover is great, because it conveys a completely different feel to Waits' original. You might need to re-read the comment you're replying to. It doesn't say the US revolves around California, nor does it say one version of the song is better than the other. It actually points out that Waits' version has a completely different feel. Don't get your panties in a bundle.
I used to have an Oldsmobile 88. it was an experience. I sure felt safe. Also, kind of badass from the compliments I got. For some reason many found it iconic. It made up for my friends making fun of me. What did they know? My Dad had bestowed it on me with a tone of reverence.
This cover makes so much sense. I found this cover after listening to QotSA and Bone Machine a lot recently. Hearing this song by Tom Waits struck me as odd, considering his usual style. But I liked it a lot regardless. No wonder.
As someone that was obsessed with QOTSA in high school - and has this song emblazoned in my mind from watching Fight Club about ten million times ... Yeah. This fucks. Hard.
Well I'm goin' out west Where the wind blows tall 'Cause Tony Franciosa Used to date my ma They got some money out there They're giving it away I'm gonna do what I want Do what I want And I'm gonna get paid Little brown sausages Lying in the sand I ain't no extra baby I'm a leading man Well my parole officer Will be proud of me With my Olds 88 And the devil on a leash My Olds 88 And the devil on a leash Well I know karate, Voodoo too I'm gonna make myself available to you I don't need no make up I got real scars I got hair on my chest I look good without a shirt Well I don't lose my composure In a high speed chase Well my friends think I'm ugly I got a masculine face I got some dragstrip courage I can really drive a bed I'm gonna change my name To Hannibal or maybe Just Rex Change my name to Hannibal Or maybe just Rex I'm gonna drive all night Take some speed I'm gonna wait for the sun To shine down on me I cut a hole in my roof In the shape of a heart And I'm goin' out west Where they'll appreciate me Goin' out west Goin' out west
@twotimespecial I;m a massive fan of Queens and Tom Waits, this cover is the band saying "We're fans" I apreciate people like you who arnt fans but give credit where its due. Good on you.
@DScharff24 Heres a few of the big name bands that have done Tom tunes - Eagles, Bruce Springsteen, Riky lee jones, Bette Midler, John Hammond Jr. Did you ever hear Rod Stewarts version of "downtown train"??? Not to mention the gazzillion versions of his covers done by lesser known bands. Its very possible to cover Tom Waits tunes and people have been doing it and having hits for 35 years - Sorry in advance if you never heard of any of the above :) cheers
Wanna take a road trip out west or anywhere for that matter with my booted legs hanging out the vindow while boozing on.bootleg whiskey. and cranking up this tune . . . anybody game? Ain't got no hair on my chest, do you? GREAT TUNE AND VIBE!
When an artist covers a song, it's not meant as competition, it's meant to pay tribute. He's just showing his respect to Tom Waits the way he likes. And as for a pop rock sellout, he makes the music he wants, most of which is not very radio friendly.

Just finding it myself. Amazing stuff. All the best from Scotland!
Tom waits a brilliant idea man
this needs to be in the next Borderlands I fucking swear
Wtf I found this song and this comment immediately after playing that "next" borderlands you spoke of

Doesn't get any better than that
Arrived today, Oct 2023.
The song has such a Queens feel to it, great idea for a cover. Also the photo you've chosen is perfect - this is serious US road trip soundtrack territory.
I love how Tom and Queens do the song with guitars tuned down to C.🤘
That C tuning really compliments Toms voice
it's B, they key of the song: th-cam.com/video/0_wqAcj6EBU/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUSam9lIGdvcmUgdG9tIHdhaXRz

There aren't many people I'd trust to cover Waits, but God dammit. That's a good cover.
This song literally made me move out west
respect to josh for having the courage of covering "Waits"
He's one of the only musicians who I'd say it feels perfectly natural for him to be singing Tom Waits songs. Josh Homme is the younger newer Tom Waits basically

Yeah, but Kyuss though brother... Why are Queens so widely recognised, while Kyuss remain niche? Seems a crime to me.

and there are millions who dont care that waits and queens dont care

Cuz u could do it oh so much better.....
I love playing this in my backyard,
Because my neighbors dog "CRu" howls the backup vocals.
Warner Bros just signed him up for a 3 albumdeal
Not really a Queens fan but they did a good job covering this. Has the Queens twist but the original rings through

lmao, Goin' Out West (Tom Waits original) is the ringtone on my phone.

Where was this performed and when? It's absolutely amazing
I've been a fan for years and this is the first time I heard this. God damn I love these guys.
Im glad im not the only one who likes to describe songs with colors.
when i first heard this song,i didn't know it wasn't a cover, and i was so surprised by the great vocals of Josh!
he is a god.
I think they do a pretty good job - they got that driving, pumping sound and I like the fact that the singer is doing his own thing with it - lets face it, only Waits can sing like Waits.
Only QOTSA could properly cover this.
I'd quite like to see Mastodon do a cover of this
See the TH-cam cover by "Spences"
Dude, Widespread Panic rocks the sh** out of this song

Gov't Mules is much better as well
Take a listen to the cover BrainDogs did.
Never heard a Tom cover better than Tom’s.
Is there anybody here that would like to see a Mark Lanegan Cover of this song?! I sure would.
@ColmaKiddo It was the Ramones covering Tom Waits, not the other way round (I Don't Want to Grow Up). It's from the 1992 album Bone Machine and The Ramones did it on the 1995 album Adios Amigos.
I'm a die-hard fan of Mr. Waits and I like this cover.
The best of both worlds.
I like different takes on good songs, great to see different interpretations of songs that obviously made an impact on the people who choose to mix up the original version.....
This cover is the gateway drug that lead to my Tom Waits addiction.
Awesome! My favourite band covering my favourite singer-songwriter.
Both this and the original are amazing!
Love this version
this is a pretty good cover actually. I'm very partial to tom waits but this isn't a bad cover at all. Nice work qotsa

Its a Mercury Cougar from the Movie From Dusk till Dawn
@heron highoncrac depends on who you buy from
Really exceptional.
This cover makes so much sense. I found this cover after listening to QotSA and Bone Machine a lot recently. Hearing this song by Tom Waits struck me as odd, considering his usual style. But I liked it a lot regardless. No wonder.
This Cougar is actually from the Movie "From Dusk to Dawn" with Clooney and Tarantino .
Gary King That's exactly how Tarantino's sitting in it too..wrapping his hand up. The silhouette shapes look like it's them. Power of suggestion,maybe
The coolest part of this cover is how Tom Waits does this song in that same awesome Key of Drop C standard. I wonder if that's why they chose it?
This is my favorite song ever. I’ve played this fuggin YT video so many times 😂
"little brown sausages lying in the saaaAaand!, yeah"
Nothing better to wake up to
excellent cover! love Tom and this is great!!
As someone that was obsessed with QOTSA in high school - and has this song emblazoned in my mind from watching Fight Club about ten million times ... Yeah. This fucks. Hard.
Grooving down the road
Tom Waits is my idol. This is an amazing cover though.
what a sweet little find - have love Tom for 30 years - loved Queens for about 7 - nice to see Homme-age getting paid

LOVE this song! I've been looking for it ever since I watched "fight club" for the first time! took me 5 years to find it xD
Solid cover!
Siempre buenos y originales
Love it! Just sold my 69xR7😳🖤☘️
I never knew it was possible to make a Tom Waits cover. Not quite the original, but still awesome.
This song needs an music video!
John R. Mudd There's a music video for the original
John R. Mudd Absolutely haha. Personally I prefer this version of the song, so I think a music video for this would be absolutely fantastic.
This song and the Cougar f'in rock!!!
QUEENSSSS
@onyachamp i do believe it may be a 1968 mercury cougar mate
ill check it out. This is actually the only version ive heard tho ive always been aware that it is a cover. Awesome song.
Pretty good. I agree with some other commenters about Waits' original being grittier and such
been a fan of Tom forever and QOTSA since, well since kyuss. This song puts me in mind of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion for some reason.
This cover is fucking awesome! Is it downloadable in iTunes?
This song is fucking awesome

This is pretty good. I would suggest playing it full volume while madly smashing Scarlett Johansson's Tom Waits tribute album under foot

I think these words must have been the non-stop commentary Steve McQueen heard in his head
this is pretty awesome
this picture is so fitting to the song
qotsa certainly rules! of course Tom is the master!
Nope. The title you heared in Fight Club was the original from Tom Waits!^^
But nevertheless, great Cover. Love the Queens
Going to get sum speed feeling fine
Cool song
@QueenOfDesire666 you still didnt. the song to be heard in fight club is the original version by Tom Waits.
lord have mercy.
I love both versions. However I like Waits' voice better, but the instrumentation in the QOTSA version is kickin'.
@onyachamp anyone have an idea what car that delicious piece of metal is?
Cant say ive heard the original, or any tom waits song, but this is pretty cool.
Is there any way of getting this song or the whole collection of b-sides and rarities legitimately? I swear I cannot find it anywhere.
If anyone has any business covering this classing by Mr. Watis, it's QOTSA.
The Eagles, Ol'55 is a Tom Waits cover I believe :)
