Everything I've seen shows Troy Van Leuwen plays bass now. Along with the keys, slide, and guitar that he used to play.
He plays bass on "Burn the Witch" in some live clips I've seen. I think it revolves between Troy, Alain, and sometimes Josh. That's how "Lullabies to Paralyze" was recorded if you look at the credits.
Is it just me that thinks QOTSA has REALLY gone downhill since Nick got ousted?! Sure he's a walking train wreck, but actually a really good bassist. It seems Josh has gotten a little full of himself...

You never bought the first QOTSA cd did you?
This new cd sounds like an updated, more solemn version of that record than an original statement. I'll not be buying another of their cd's until I hear something as good as Rated R.
For the Lullabies songs it revolves between Troy,Alain and Nick.For the older stuff Alain plays all of it I think

Maybe I just REALLY like QOTSA, but the new record is great. Sure, it's different, but all Queens records are different. There seems to be some filler on "Lullabies to Paralyze", though.
Rated R is my favorite, though. It has the most variation.

I have a love/hate relationship with this newest release. I think some of the songs are either awful or forgotable. Some are the best they've ever written.
I imagine losing the only other member left from the original lineup had an effect on that.
I have all the Kyuss stuff, and both Mondo Generator albums. I've heard all the Desert Sessions, but I don't own any of them. Ditto for Brant Bjork's solo stuff. The only person from Kyuss that I haven't heard outside of Kyuss is Scott Reeder.
I dislike John Garcia's voice so I don't like Unida or Hermano.

i liked the first one, but it does seem that Homme needs to rethink his ego........loendmaestro said:
They all take their turn w/ the bass, both live and on the album. I saw them recently and it was great...I think Lullabies is great too. Not their greatest, but still better than 90% of mainstream rock coming out these days.
I think Lullabies is a great album. It does have a few too many overly pop tracks. But some of it is really dark and creepy. Burn the Witch is awesome. I'm shocked it wasn't the first single from the album, much catchier than Little Sister. I think Burn the Witch was actually their attempt to reproduce "No One Knows." I hate that "In my head" song, I always skip it, and I have since I heard it on the Desert Sessions. Another really stand out track is "You've got a killer scene their man." Really smooooooth.
That sucks though, Scott Reeder is amazing. I really couldn't see him in Metallica. But he's way better than Nick Oliveri.
scott is playing in a band with adam jones (tool) wife and some other guy. ill see if i can dig up that link

Strictly based on both of their works in Kyuss. "And the Circus Leaves Town" has so many great bass hooks. He really made them more musically diverse. Nick did the traditional bass thing, with a little flash here and there. Scott, was like a bassist and a second guitarist.
