"No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age

<p>It's time for a journey of the mind, as Kirk picks apart one of the best hard rock tunes of the early 2000s.</p> <p>Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs for the Deaf" includes enough bangers that it was tough to pick a single song to focus on, but in the end, "No One Knows" won the day with its combination of grit, groove, and focus. On this episode, Kirk dives deep into the tune's tightly wound, surprisingly swinging arrangement, with special focus on Dave Grohl's meticulous drumming.</p> <p><strong>Artist:</strong> Queens of the Stone Age</p> <p><strong>Album:</strong> <em>Songs for the Deaf</em> (2002)</p> <p><strong>Written by:</strong> Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan</p> <p><strong>Listen/Buy:</strong> <a href= "https://music.apple.com/gb/album/songs-for-the-deaf/1440909901">Apple Music</a> | <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Songs-Deaf-Queens-Stone-Age/dp/B00006F83Y">Amazon</a> | <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/album/58HZZpS0wxJKwGjoerg0mk">Spotify</a></p> <p><strong>------</strong></p> <p><strong>ALSO FEATURED:</strong></p> <ul> <li>"“Prelude from <em>Final Fantasy VII</em>” by Nobuo Uematsu, 1997</li> <li>“My Sharona” by The Knack from <em>Get The Knack</em>, 1969</li> <li>“Big Dipper” by Thad Jones performed by the Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Orchestra on <em>Central Park North</em>, 1959</li> </ul> <p><strong>OUTRO SOLOIST: Dan Nervo<br /></strong></p> <p>This episode's outro soloist is the fantastic Dan Nervo.
