I've never really found a straight answer to this, so maybe someone here can help.

I was wondering what tracks Lanegan does lead vocals on? I've heard some people say that it was just Hangin' Tree, Song for the Dead, God Is In The Radio, This Lullaby and In The Fade, but I've also heard some people add other songs to that list (i.e. You've Got a Killer Scene).

The main reason that I'm so confused is that, as much as I hate to say it, as far as Queens records go, Lanegan's vocals don't sound all that different from Homme's. I mean, if someone told me that Lanegan sang lead on, say, Someone's In The Wolf, I'd believe it.

So, if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Homme's voice is much, much higher.

Yes, but the potential is there for him to match the same pitch or timbre as Lanegan's. Not that it would be as effective, but he's done it.

river in the road

but i cant hear him

dude you are crazy. anyway he does lead vocals on in the fade, song for the dead, hanging tree, god is in the radio, this lullaby, and precious and grace (along with billy gibbons). he also sang walking on the sidewalks and autopilot live. he sings backup on a number of songs including burn the witch, autopilot, song for the deaf, river in the road, killer scene and think i lost my headache but it varies as to how much you can distinctly hear him.

they sound nothing alike.

Lanegan's name has just been photoshopped into the liner notes. It's all Homme.

deaf motherfucker.

First of all, thanks for the answer.

Second of all, fuck you, soma.

Third of all, yes, I know they sound nothing alike. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing some kind of vocal trickery, either Lanegan singing high (not fucking likely) of Homme singing low.

Trust me, this isn't a case of me being deaf or whatever. I'm one of the guys that's always suggesting Lanegan's work to people and and fawning over his voice.

I just wanted to be sure since there was no distinct answer elsewhere.

Thanks for the link, man!

Con, you are quickly climbing up my list of favourite RMs. Thank you for the upload.

I should mention, though, that these...



...are not Queens songs.

I can understand your confusion. Homme has been ape-ing Lanegan's vocal style on certain cuts for a while now. Started with Wit Chu on DS 9/10 and has continued on Era Vulgaris.

I knew you'd understand


What he said.

Nice comp, cono. It almost makes we want to forgive you for all the Photoshop shit.

I've honestly never heard P&G before. Probably because I'm nowhere near being a ZZ Top fan.

I really need to listen DS. Is it worth having for someone like me who is a "huge casual" QOTSA fan who owns all of their albums?

Some of the Desert Sessions stuff is wonderful. You should track it down, keeping in mind that it's almost impossible to find a first hand copy of the first four.

That's what OINK! is for. Thanks, I'll give some of it a listen.

other than hangin' tree and this lullaby there hasn't been too much stuff Lanengan has done with QOTSA that I've liked all that much. The same is true with his twilight singer material. It's too bad

i know, neither is Precious & Grace, but i included all song i could find of good quality that Lanegan featured on in his QOTSA era.

do you like QOTSA to begin with? you should just download this and give it a change. it's some of hist best work. though i tend to say that about every project he's been in...

Not especially, which is probably part of the problem. I did download this though. Thanks for offering it!
