    The man is a silent assassin, he's been involved on so many projects with great people and yet he's still known as one the Queens. Excellent interview!

    When I was much younger I didn't fully understand how good Queens was. I'm glad I took the time to figure that out and continue to enjoy the musical journey they continue to take us on. Cheers.

    so few bands truly put the totality of their music first...and even fewer have players like TVL...or Dean...professionals by performance as well as aesthetics...new record is like all the others...just flat out compelling music....

    One of the only groups to never lose their steam. The new album has got to be AOTY and one of the strongest in their discography. Long love QOTSA!

    All I can say is grateful I am for Josh Homme and his friends. This record is simply how good all of them are together. It’s the sound of support.

    Just discovered your channel because of this interview! I’m a long time QOTSA fan (and also APC). I’m one of those fans that has traveled to many shows because I can’t get enough of their soul-touching, and unique rock sound (so glad that Troy touched on how they change sets - as a fan - love that!). This album… Times… wow - sure did not let us fans down. It’s deep, infectious, Beatle-esk, with a little Iron Butterfly and a little sprinkle of The Fixx (Saved By Zero) - and so many other layers of gripping melodies. Ecstatic they are touring again and glad to have found your channel - subscribed! Thank you for sharing this fantastic interview!

    the album was insane, loved Emotion Sickness, paper machete, carnavoyeur and straight jacket fitting. it feels like a fresh breath of air but the only thing i missed was that i wanted alain johannes playing too.

    Austin, Texas, 2016. Outside my new job smoking a cigarette, intending to quit. Scanning the crowd, I see a group of men dressed in all black. But more so, I spot a tall ginger man being bathe in camera flashes and adulation. I journey further down to see what's going on. It took a second to set in but as I got nearer, it clicked. I was walking toward Josh, Dean, and of course Troy. I turned into a school girl seeing The Beatles. I still remember telling Josh, "I don't want a picture or autograph man, I just wanna shake your hand." And his response with a smile, "Well, let's make it worth it." By that point I couldn't get out anything else to Dean and Troy lol. But they acknowledged me with a slight grin, like yup its us. A moment in life I won't forget. Also this new record is fucking amazing!

      Nice😊...qotsa covered "wake up screaming" by subhumans, one of my fave punk bands since I was a nipper...and I was in a forest(lake district) with my bird n daughters and I bumped into dick lucas(singer) and his missus?....I'm the same , no interest in autographs or photos of my musical heroes, I was just like " hey mate, are you dick lucas??...it made my fucking week cos it was random as fuck....I dunno if I'm conveying it right ha ha ha...don't matter if yer musical heroes are Elton John or jilted John, its all relative....

    Great interview. Troy is a legend. It's pretty awesome that you were there when he got the invite to join Queens. I would never forget that moment either. Gonna check out some older episodes. It looks like youve had some other great guests too. Keep up the good work

    I mean… A great interview from one of the most bad ass musicians in one of the most bad ass bands who, to my taste, continue to write amazing albums…. I’m thankful QOTSA exists, they’ve never saved my life or any of that bullshit, but man, they sure do make my ear balls tingle. Thanks for the interview.

  • @bretsamblis5560
    @bretsamblis5560 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    This album has touched me in a way I just can't describe. It's as if I took part in it's creation, or they have written it for me. It's such a powerful collection of songs. I'm in love.

    I first discovered Troy Van Leeuwen through "A Perfect Circle," and from that point on, I became a massive fan of his work, whether it was with QOTSA, Mark Lanegan, Failure, or Enemy. He's definitely one of my all-time favorite guitar players. Great episode.

    @Ryan I remember seeing that NIN show back on the Fragile tour, and had the same kind of experience with APC as you. It didn't click that first time, but I saw them again with Smashing Pumpkins that summer, and they've been on my playlist ever since.
    Great episode, guys. 🤘

    First time checking out this channel & my first time seeing T.V.L. by himself in an interview. I'm a huge fan of Qotsa, I listen & love everything they put out, go to their shows, wear the t-shirts. But this new album In times... I'm just so blown away by them. The excitement I have around The release of this record, the videos and promos they've been putting out, wow! I have not been this excited over any music in a while. It truly lights a fire in your soul. You riffing with TVL was great. I learned so much. Snow Patrol! You guys had great charisma together I wish there was a part 2. Maybe catch up with him again in the middle of the tour. Looking forward to checking out your other interviews. Thank you so much for this one!

    Jason! I am a new fan! You came up in my feed because like you, I’m a QOTSA fan and I have been paying close attention to everything that is going on. You interviewed Troy so well! It felt like I was a Carnavoyeur watching two great friends chop it up, not a typical interview talking about gossip or settling the score. Now it seems I have work to do, because you have so many other episodes that I must dive into!! Thanks for everything you do The Rockman Power Hour!!❤

    I can't even tell you how my musical life is wrapped up in queens
    It goes like this 2001 i go into blockbuster video and I buy 3 CDs for the new CD player and i somehow heard no one knows and went a little overboard on sale items Era But...Lullabies and Songs for the deaf and two of them came with a video that showed them during the production process and i was i awe and since those first days in 2001-2002 in Hemet California i haven't missed a day without Josh and Whom i discovered and loved in my own music cabinet in my life Troy Van Leewen his slide work with the lap and 12 string and just his beautiful output/input in qotsa i mean i in love with this band like misfit love on rollings show
    Insane musical companionship(i couldn't spell comradery[that's a 1st] lol) anyway i am so stoked for Troy and the fans and every body associated with this new album it is such a breath and can't wait to chew it up puke it out and chew it up again like the pills and gum some of us might have regergated in our lives
    God bless be well and rock it at 11 your new friend Mark Eisen A.k.a MOON

  • @johnulcer
    @johnulcer ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The new album is one of their finest works. I saw some people knee-jerk dismiss it at first and I think those people will regret not giving it more space first… it’s a grower. And once it sinks its fangs in, it’s hard to shake it loose. “time and place” is stuck in my head nonstop right now. Not a bad track on the entire record. At first “made to parade” seemed like a weak spot to me but the second half and guitar solo outro are just magical. Brilliant album.

  • @Triquifliqui
    @Triquifliqui ปีที่แล้ว

    So glad you mentioned Time & Place, had the same effect on me that the beginning of "If I had a tail", I have the album on repeat, since it came out, even today I was surprised again by a part in "Straight Jacket Fitting" I hadn't really paid attention to, so good!

  • @conorkeenan4836
    @conorkeenan4836 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Crazy that Troy worked with Snow Patrol, I live in Belfast (near where Gary Lightbody is from) and I regularly see him in local bars and venues here supporting the local music scene! Crazy to think there’s such a strong link between where I live and my favourite band Qotsa!

  • @4ber267

    I still love art and I always look forward to seeing interviews with artists I like. LP release interviews, festival interviews etc. I still think this is a cool part of music release customs. Full 10+ songs LPs, rig rundowns, watching full concerts live or on TH-cam, etc. This stuff still inspires me and I don't want to live in a 5-sec video influencer post-apocalyptic transhumanist dystopia.

  • @dianap8012

    Thanks to TH-cam for acknowledging my QOTSA obsession by filling my feed with band related suggestions & sending me to yours. This album is amazing! QOTSA is my fav band & love every album but this one ranks up there as one of their best.

You should get Death Angel on! hell Forbidden would be sick as well.Saw the DA/Forbidden show way back when those 2 bands first toured together! Both so damn great! Cheers
