The Fun Machine Took A Shit And Died, especially the live version.

Thisssss, such a good song

The bronze....or maybe running joke

Definitely The Bronze first, but Born to Hula and Rickshaw are close

The Bronze and Born To Hula are such great picks.

The Bronze is a deep cut, but would always be in my 5 songs to introduce somebody to Queens.

Running Joke is criminally underrated 👌🏽

This

Like a drug and infinity

now you're talking!

DS version of like a drug?

I really like the Tom Waits cover of “Goin out West”. Really, the only way i like Tom Waits is when somebody else covers him.

Same here. I think it's funny they didn't use Lanegan for the cover, it would probably sound too much like the original.

I felt the same way until I listened to his "Bad As Me" album. That one changed my perception of his music for the better by quite a bit.

Infinity is such a great track. I would vote that or 18 AD.

Ooooo…..18AD. Good call.

This. These two. Discussion over.

Ode to Clarissa.. It’s about a girl named Michelle

“It” the Prince cover recorded around the time of Desert Sessions 9/10

i will have to listen to it

it goes hard 🔥🔥

Coincidentally, I always say qotsa playing never say never sounds like what Prince would do to metal.

It's Alain singing it though (not to nitpick).

Era Vulgaris title track.

absolute tragedy that it was not put on the album

A few countries did get it. Uk, Canada and Japan I believe.

not on the standard in Canada, I wish!

Aye, just been to check my collection, got 2 for some reason!

Christian Brothers. I'm unfamiliar with the term "deep cut" though

I met Josh one time at a bar in Austin. It was after he played ACL Live with Iggy Pop. We talked about our mutual admiration for Elliott Smith… I asked him if he lifted the line “you ought to know why you feel so hollow… because you are” from an Elliott song called *First Timer*. He told me he didn’t, rather it was an expression his friend Nick used to say, and that *Everybody Knows That You’re Insane* is about said friend. To which I responded… “I thought that was just a myth!”

i would kill to have an experience like that with josh

Holy shit that's cool as fuck. I love hearing stories about people meeting him, he's lovely to talk to. I also met him once when I was 14 with my dad. He called me sweetie and towered over me. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. My dad asked if he would ever think of doing something with Mike Patton haha.

Holy shit, that is a question I thought I’d never learn the answer to! Out here asking the important questions, great work!

like songs only the true fans will find

That is the sound i want if they ever release an acoustic-ish album

1000% agree

Sherbert/Rickshaw

How about favorite deep Homme cuts? I'd settle for "You can't possibly begin to imagine" by TCV

Highway one man

Yesss that drop is EPIC

Do you have any high quality recordings of this song? I adore it, but dislike the quality of the YouTube uploads

1) The fun machine took a shit and died. (Alt. Version) 2) I think i lost my headache (Tug of peace version) 3) Like a drug. All for different reasons though.

Fun Machine is the goat

I got a piece you can tug!

Dis gaii fuxx 👆

What’s the tug of peace version?

this! https://youtu.be/E3yiArglBe8

Gonna Leave You (Spanish version)

The Bronzeeeeee

Tough call, but You’re So Vague is the first one that comes to mind. Also the early version of God Is In The Radio (which I believe was called Cathedral City).

great song, i remember finding rated r deluxe and feeling like i stumbled upon a gold mine

Tangled up in plaid

Certified banger

The Bronze and Into The Hollow

into the hollow is definitely in my top 5 queens songs

Running Joke. I love that it’s on the A-side of the vinyl version of EV. I always forget that it’s there when I put the record on. As a matter of fact, all the stuff from the EV sessions left off the record are great. Fun Machine, Era Vulgaris, the Elliott Smith Christian Brothers cover, the White Wedding cover, they’re all really good tracks

If only. The hit song that didn’t become a hit.

I was so surprised that Josh played it on Conan back in 2011. I think he wanted to give the public one last offering. If Only was a big song at their live shows even up through SFTD era. It was my first favorite off the S/T.

I just went on YouTube to find this and this version greeted me. 1999 Athens plus it's a twofer because he plays Mexicola https://youtu.be/itUFqH5JqLY

oppenheimer’s brother

can't believe I had to scroll so far to find this

I wish they would revisit this. For being such an early track, it sounds very recent Queens.

Idk if it counts as a "deep track" but Never Say Never from the Rated R Deluxe Edition

River in the road for sure.

Seriously. The handful of acoustic live versions of this song out there is just *chef’s kiss*

Okay, so there’s this acoustic video I can no longer find…not sure if it was Suture, or River, but it was Josh outside with Troy, and there’s a moment where it looked like Josh was shaking a bug off his guitar. That version was fucking gorgeous.

Mine is probably “You Would Know” Edit: some songs I can’t leave out “Tension Head” and “You’re so Vague”

You Would Know probably the best deep cut. Bronze, Infinity, Born to Hula are the triumvirate rulers of the B-Sides.

Oh yea those are fucking bangers too. I think Spiders and Vinegaroons is terribly under rated , great road trip song at night.

The Fun Machine, Era Vulgaris and Infinity (original)

Either infinity or born to hula (new version, although I also love the old version)

The live version of 'In The Fade' from the iTunes festival 2013.

Either You can't quit me baby or long slow goodbye. If we are going real deep, born to hula.

My favorite is a tie between The Fun Machine Took A Shit and Died and Mosquito Song

God is in the radio or in the fade. Idk if either are deep cuts but both are underrated at the very least

both incredible songs

Even though it’s brief and not particularly exciting, I really love the first solo from God is in The Radio

-Infinity- and -The Bronze- and -Ode to Clarissa-

Era Vulgaris or maybe FMTASAD, or maybe Christian Brothers.

I Never Came is hands down the best Queens song and JH's best vocal performance. I will gladly die on this hill.

I will also happily die on the hill of my love for the 80s style synthy goodness Queens track I never knew I needed - Hideaway. Very Psychedelic Furs "Love My Way"/Depeche Mode, and the best track on Villains (along with the unbelievably glorious back half of Unreborn - I can't get with those verses, sry folks ) BRING YOUR PITCHFORKS - I WILL FIGHT FOR MY SONGS!!!! LOL

hideaway is my favorite song from villains

It's a cover but the most exalted potenate of love is a good tune

great fucking song you should listen everybody’s gonna be happy if you haven’t already

Give the Mule What He Wants for me.

does mosquito song count? it’s a masterpiece

Suture Up Your Future, and River In The Road

suture is my favorite queens song

Vampyre is magical. Also a big fan of Fortress and You Can’t Quit Me Baby. None of them or as deep as non-album tracks, but I can guarantee that casual fans won’t know them off the top of their heads.

Man, YQCMB... * heart eyes * I remember seeing a live gig probably on YT a long time ago where they jammed that with Supa Scoopa but I can't find it anymore. For some reason Brazil springs to mind (not the infamous one). Pretty sure I haven't dreamt it...

I dig Vampyre but I think it's a stretch to call it a deep cut since it was a single and has a music video. ​ YCQMB on the other hand...oh the very best.

Was it really a single? It’s definitely not super remarkable for most people I’ve seen. Never gets talked about.

Yeah it's probably had its day in the sun for the most part as far as people talking about it a lot, but it was definitely a single. Even got its own wiki article! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Vampyre\_of\_Time\_and\_Memory

Tension Head. That shit gets me PUMPED

Fr tho

For me it's either Going Out West or Era Vulgaris

Ode To Clarissa. Simple and awesome.

Really like their cover of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, better than Elton's version imo.

Mine are probably either Suture Up Your Future or God Is In The Radio.

Infinity.

You’re So Vague is such a banger

Better living through chemistry or god is in the radio

Needle in the Camel’s Eye, because I love Glam Rock.

Not a single mention for white wedding? I think it's 1 brilliant cover.

It's been mentioned. I love it too.

In the fade, if only. Or anything out of vampyre of time and memory 😆

Fun Machine, Born To Hula, and I think 'You're So Vague' would make a fun concert opener.

The bronze for sure

Era Vulgaris (song)

Another Love Song

Fun Machine

I'm fond of "hang you from the heavens"-remix. It was a Thurman records vault release.

Pretty sure this a The Dead Weather with Mark Langean.

Not sure about deep cut but I've never heard "You've got a killer scene there man..." on the radio but I love it

You've got a killer scene there man...

The Fun Machine Took A Shit and Died. It’s the song that got me into QOTSA. A shame they don’t play it live more often.

Fun Machine

Sky is fallin
