Video: QOTSA - "Paranoid" (Sabbath Cover)

There are few frontmen in the world that I fear and admire as much as Josh Homme. Here he is shredding through Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" while maintaining vocal duties. QOTSA + my favorite Sabbath track = pretty fucking awesome. Almost everything else on VH1 Rock Honors was a combination of lukewarm and tame.

Here I was thinking that Queens were going to "honor" ZZ Top (Top's Billy Gibbons makes a guest appearance on Lullabies). I didn't even contemplate the possibilities of Queens covering Sabbath. You can imagine my surprise...

QOTSA on VH1 Honors
That's right. Time to settle in to the couch and muscle through a performance by Nickleback, another by Gretchen Wilson, but the payoff will be big: Alice In Chains, Heart and Queens of the Stone Age. This year, VH1 Honors is honoring Genesis, Heart, ZZ Top and Ozzy Ozbourne. Hopefully the good will outweigh the bad on this...if not the power of DVR can always hook it up. May 24th. Check yo local listings.
