About this song
Dave Grohl plays hard-hitting drums on the track, a drum part that has since been regarded as one of the best of all time. Mark Lanegan provides a haunting vocal, and the heavy guitars build into a jam-style solo. In 2014, Ultimate Guitar users voted it the best Queens of the Stone Age song in the band's discography.
