Desert Sessions - "Nova" (Queens of the Stone Age)

	Duration: 03:22 minutes Upload Time: 2007-06-04 09:13:35 User: FishWasALady :::: Favorites :::: Top Videos of Day
Description: Song is performed by an unnamed grouping consisting of Pete Stahl, John McBain, Joshua Homme, Ben Shepherd, and Alfredo Hernandez. They performed "Nova" and "Avon", which were likely leftovers from the original set of Desert Sessions. The music tracks of both of these songs are identical with different vocal tracks. Pete Stahl sings "Nova" and Homme sings "Avon". Homme has said that this was an experiment to show how two different vocalists would treat the same piece of music. Another version of "Avon" can be found on QOTSA 's eponymous debut album. I have posted all 3 songs on YouTube for your convenience.

Rlongo88 ::: Favorites I like the ding-dong guitar that comes in at 0:51 and again at 1:35. This song's cool because you're expecting Avon but this songs got a whole different vibe. 07-10-01 13:16:48 __________________________________________________

reydemagival ::: Favorites And maybe cause the melody ain't as great as the Josh version. I like Stahl's voice, but the melody doesn't seem to go well with the song. Maybe it's cause I'm used to Avon. 07-09-02 00:21:24 __________________________________________________
kyussexmachina ::: Favorites Stahl's voive is indeed a bit more punklike , so I think there are qotsa songs where his voice fits better , because Josh's voice is for songs like these just perfect:Avon , If Only or Go with the flow are songs which sound perfect when they are sung by Josh.But nevertheless this song is great , the instruments are a dream.And don't get me wrong : Stahl's voice sounds superb to the melody but Josh's sounds perfect in songs like these! 07-08-20 18:11:16 __________________________________________________
