Apparently the reversed lyrics in God is in the Radio are "I'm right behind you watching you/look over your left shoulder/I'm right behind you watching you/you're inside my hands"

Don't know if anyone else posted that yet but can't be bothered to scan through the comments to find out XD

You really like queens of the Stone Age and that’s why I like you

Dave Grohl actually liked Josh's work way before, when he was in KYUSS, not when QOTSA opened for Foos on tour.

Funfact: The guitar sound was not recorded with traditional guitar amps and speakers. They went down to an old local music shop and bought all the cheapest bass solidstate amps and cabs they could find. The trick was to push mutiple layers of midrange, making it recordable.

I wish youd make a one like this for every album

[berenerchamion]

Awesome! Didn’t know almost any of these facts! The zero track, the Black Flag drum.

SFTD is an absolute amazing album. No One Knows was the first Queens’ song I heard. God’s On the Radio, The Sky Is Fallin’, Do It Again, Gonna Leave You... this album is a crazy listening journey.

Nice vid! Do more.

Queens of the Stone Age is something I’m always in the mood for, it’s just that good.

[unreborn]

Hell yeah, I absolutely love qotsa and this album, been obsessed since I was 11 years old. Love the videos on them!

Song For The Dead drum intro being the same as that song is coincidental. There is a video of them rehearsing the song and writing the drum intro. It is quite funny. Josh tells him to play really stiff.

Dave Grohl was also a huge fan of Kyuss. He gave their album Blues For The Red Sun high praise in a Nirvana interview back in the day.

Everybody's gonna be happy is a cover of a Kinks tune by the sane name

In like clockwork there are some interesting participations and some facts interesting as well. Like 5 tracks played by Dave grohl. A song featuring the vocals of Alex turner and nick olivieri and the piano from elthon John in other track. Such a great album that you should make a video like this one

[smadaman]

Oh and I found someone who had broke down the backwards vocals on God is in the radio before. It's something along the lines of, "it's Eric, I'm in your room, I'm in your hand (you're in my hands?) I'm right behind you."

Track 0 works best if you have a cassette copy. Since on your first full playthrough you'll rewind it all the way back, and boom suddenly Track 0 will start. Giving first time listeners a new surprise

[CromesCars]

The reverse vocals on god is in the radio is actually josh I think, and he says something along the lines of: “I’m right behind you. I’m watching you. Look over your left shoulder. I’m behind you.” I can’t remember what it was but I heard it in reverse and it’s pretty eerie

[jacobsheets]

Nice video. I think Josh is the one who whispers the backmasked message on "God is in the radio." When the message is reversed, I think he says the following: 'I've been dying to watch you. Look over your left shoulder in the apartment. I'm in Eric's room. You're inside of my hands...this is your God."

another cool note: Hanging Tree was also from The Desert Sessions, specifically DS 7

About Dave Grohl:

He was actually a fan of the band Kyuss, Josh Homme's previous band, since the Nirvana days... he openly tried to get Kurt interested in them, but Kurt was not impressed...
