Here's what you had to say about the Splendour in the Grass performance!

2FOUR8ONE OFF CHOPS 
had an unbelievebly clean sound, so i dont know why ryan adams was complaining. made my festival when feel good hit of the summer followed by lost art of keeping a secret were played which i think is their best work. STONER ROCK @ its best

Adriane Smirnoff 
Probably the best performance I've ever seen, if I had only been there for one song and then got hit by a bus leaving the venue (which was very very possible) I would have died happy... A Song for the Dead was bloody brilliant, if they could turn that song into a party drug QotSA would be richer than Bill Gates. The only disappointment was that I didn't see much of the scarf rock going on... lot of bizarre beanies though.

amy 
amazing they made my day

Cheese 
Does anyone have the setlist or know of a link that will lead me there? BTW saw Queens at UNSW Roundhouse a few days before. Absolutely blown away.

Claire 
This was the third time i've seen these guys and i would have to say...it was the best. Loved 'little sister' and 'feel good hit of the summer'. Also my friend bumped into josh at a cafe in byron on the sunday and he was very friendly. Another friend of mine caught one of their drum sticks and he slept with it close to his heart that night :-P

Dana 
AHHHHHHH! Awesome! The perfect setlist (although everyone would argue). I loved the fact he stopped to look after the crowd during No One Knows, not enough artists do that when its needed. Absolutely fantastic.

Donnavon 
Absolutley Fantastic Completly amazing blew me away totally

dude wheres my car? 
mate... ther gig was fcool ay i love queens, i was like front row centre nd it was great ay little sister was mad nd know on knows with solos greatest way they could finish great gig only 1 thing the vocal in so songs i couldnt even hear but didnt matter awsome gig they r all great

freddo 
I was a little disapointed with their show, not too mindblowing and Josh could have come up with something better than "everyone get wasted and get laaaaid" I guess I just expected more.


Gavin 
Bloody excellent. Rocked from start to finish, and a extended version of 'No ONe Knows' = superb. "Greatest live band": Now i know why they had/have that tag.

Jade 
Josh Homme killed it mad performance but i miss the old bass player he really added to the energy at big day out 2003 - them together was the best performance i have ever seen. However this was close second.Plus natatsha (i think that is her name) was awesome!!! Go gals that rock it out!

Jazz 
Though I didn't go to Splendour *tears*, I caught them @ the Enmore and was suitably blown away... sludgy, sexy, sweaty, grimy, seductive, virile rock 'n' roll. I heart Josh Homme.

John R 
Great set, opening with Little Sis' got the crowd going nuts. Josh is solid! So was the music. Went off.

Jojo 
QOTSA rocked my socks, though I didn't have socks on at the time but if I did they would have gone OFF! I'm still in total AWE!

katagram 
PURE GOLD. ROCK OUT! after Ryam Adams pompous hissey fit, i was suitably dissapointed, so the Queens was just what i needed to get happy. these boys are rock.

Kylie 
Oh my god, they are rock gods!

Lachie 
A wickedly intense set. The cake was iced when i grabbed Josh Homme's walking stick which he threw into the crowd. The type of souvenir that a dedicated punter dreams of.

laura 
AMAZING. if i was 18 i would have gone to a show. this was all i was going to get and it was served well.

Laura Archer 
Queens of the stone age blew the roof off the big top at splendour last night. Best live act i have ever seen!!! you rock my world QOTSA!!!

Mel 
What can be said!! QOTSA were all I expected and more. Absolutely brilliant, and a great mix from all their albums. My friend scored their playlilst - how exciting

Michaela 
Absolutely awesome!!! The best gig I have been to in a long time.

Mikey 
I don't know how it's possible, but after seeing these guys for the third time they just keep getting better!! Josh Homme is one of the greatest guitarists and performers on the rock circuit today!! Hats off to him, and the rest of the band!

mim 
bit disappointing, really. it made me realised how mega over produced they are. Shrug. was good to rock to.

mima 
beyond perfect :) :) :)

Mirmy 
These guys were incredible- one of my favourite bands playing an incredible set.
Props to the kind boy standing next to me who offered to sit me on his shoulders for most of Feelgood.
The set was great from beginning to end, I am so impressed.
I've never heard Josh Homme speak before, only heard him sing. Since hearing him speak..well.. I was happy in my pants after that.
I've never had a crush on a ginge before.

Morgan Walker 
Best live band I have ever seen. The whole band are great live performers and really know how to get the crowd going. Great set list too!!

nat from brisvegas 
oh! i've never had such a public orgasm.yes josh could definately come homme with me.i thank everyone who has ever worked with qotsa to make them so complete!

nick d - brizvegas 
as a festival punter from way back would have 2 say QOTSA rocked splendour.... best live performance i've seen under a tent!! sound quality was brilliant and improvisation between songs was off the charts!!!

renee 
cant put it into words i was n still am blown away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1unreal best time of my life u guys rock

Rissa 
Best thing ever I wont forget it.... Biggest smile on my face *wink, wink*

Ryan Riddel 
The most insane thing i've ever seen!

sommer 
josh homme = sex

they were killin it!
like woah..


Steph 
Yes!! They were AMAZING... i was front row centre from sarah blasko till Queens and it was the best experience of my life!!! Go queens!!!!

tiff 
they blew the crowd away, myself included.

and josh homme is one manly man.



Tina Mc 
I was front row centre for Queens and they were the best performance of all of my splendour. Josh has an amazing presence and the keyboardist, well i'd pay money just to watch her play!! Freaky deeky indeed!!! QOTSA for life baby!!!!!!

Tripper 
Ah the queens. Does anyone remember when they were so vital and exciting, back in 2001. Now, well lets hope they can come back from the very disappointing last record, otherwise RIP.
