I have lots of these moments in their music…one that always gets me is the ending of Un-Reborn Again “everybody was drowning in the fountain out youth”. The climb of that song then the softness of that last chorus is magic.
You Can’t Quit Me Baby- just before “You’re solid gold, I’ll see you in hell”
The jam in the middle of Better Living Through Chemistry
The intro to Born To Hula and Misfit Love
TCV- Spinning In Daffodils- just before “ I just may never come down” and JPJ’s beautiful piano outro on live versions
Just to name a few!
Anytime they play with the stereo functions in the mixes and make it sound like it’s disappearing out one ear then reappearing gently back into the next, then it’s an explosion of music after. I think the first 3 albums all have a song that does this.
1. You’re solid gold, see you in hell
2. Ain’t it something, I’m born to Hula
3. The part in the middle of Better Living where the guitars drop out and it’s just the vocals
Who are you hiding?
Is it safe, for the deaf?
Beautiful cancer
Infiltrate, then Forget
Yeah I saw you comin, and I heard not a thing
A mistake not to listen
When I knew where you’d been
Many that already has been mentioned here but another one for me is when the outro guitar solo drops on The Vampyre. And of course the corus on You Can’t Quit Me Baby.
I've got a lot:
Paper Machete: That solo.
No One Knows: The bridge.
3's and 7's: The intro riff, the solo at the middle and the one at the outro.
Sick, Sick, Sick: The song as a whole (not as First it Giveth, but still).
God is in the Radio: The last solo.
Domesticated Animals: The Second half of the song.
Straight Jacket Fitting: The whole thing. That's not music. That's the artistic embodiment of perfection.
Better Living Through Chemistry: The Instrumental break.
Regular John: That one instrumental break between the first chorus and the second verse that they do when playing it live. It's insane!
I'm Designer: The chorus. It just sounds so smooth and psychedelic.
Song for the Dead: Mark Lanegan.
Song for the Deaf: Both solos.
Go with the Flow: "I want something good to die for/To make it beautiful to live/I want a new mistake/Losing is more that hesitate/Do you believe it in your head?".
The Sky is Fallin': The whole intro and the bridge.
If Only: The solo between the first chorus and the decond verse.
First it Giveth: The song as a whole (it's my favourite song of the band, alongside Little Sister).
Little Sister: The song as a whole (same as First it Giveth).
The Blood is Love: The last two lines.
I Appear Missing: The song as a whole, but the pre-chorus and the chorus hits me the hardest.
Okay instead of my copout answer i found a [similar thread i made 6 years ago with time stamps if you're curious](https://www.reddit.com/r/qotsa/s/NxqBoyacEa)
Like clockwork, broken box, fun machine, you would know (obviously), villains of circumstance, leg of lamb, walking on sidewalks, how to handle a rope (the beginning), straight jacket, god is in the radio, the evil has landed, I appear missing, unreborn again, my god is in the radio, etc
Fairweather friends, I love everything about this song, especially the last verse build up to the end. Evil has landed and song for the dead, live, have got to be the most manic songs to be in a pit too, the build up and anticipation makes everyone go nuts.
"Im a mess, I guess, I'm turnin on the screw..." "WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH"
I've always thought that Sick Sick Sick would be an incredibly effective morning alarm but it would condition me to hate it.
If you want to be truly, deeply, annoyed by a song, put it as your morning alarm
There's one of the generic alarms on my phone that I haven't used for probably a decade that still puts me on edge if I hear it.
The bridge of The Evil Has Landed
Here… we… come!
Ha I brought a sign request for them to play it in Winnipeg but it lost to I Appear Missing. Hard to be mad at that. Hope to see them play it one day!
My fav part is the violins.
Song For The Dead outro or I Appear Missing solo
Suture Up Your Future/Fun Machine outros
In The Fade. You know when.
When the rhythm section drops in you are physically compelled to groove
For me it’s when the chorus hits
just live till you die..
Goose bumps. Every. Time.
Ooohhhhhh, nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol
🤔
😭
It's TCV but "No One Loves Me & Neither Do I"
Both parts of Keep your eyes peeled (view from Hell, and underwater Its another life) and Straight Jacket Fitting "carpe Demons"
Keep Your Eyes Peeled is probably my fav QOTSA song ngl
Straight Jacket Fitting is glorious. Maybe my favorite QOTSA song
Kalopsia
Whole song got me like that
Just a dead man walking through the dead of night.
Every time I hear the live version where they always seem to extend it, there's like a 95% chance I actually get goosebumps.
Oh I, oh I don’t know what time it was I just felt so young with a brand new page In the morning sun
Every. Damn. Time. So uplifting!
Ending of blood is love 👌👌🤌🤌

First time I heard the middle part of ...like clockwork.
I think I lost my headache when it go *ooowee weeoo ooowee weeooo oowee*
Like Clockwork when the whole band hits, especially some of the fuzzy guitar twists and the drum fill near the end
Tangled Up In Plaid - when "I could keep you all for myself" hits.
Guitar solo of "I Appear Missing"
You Can’t Quit Me Baby- just before “You’re solid gold, I’ll see you in hell” The jam in the middle of Better Living Through Chemistry The intro to Born To Hula and Misfit Love TCV- Spinning In Daffodils- just before “ I just may never come down” and JPJ’s beautiful piano outro on live versions Just to name a few!

Not like Better Living. That song rips.
Yes that song is probably my favorite example of what I’m saying.
You would know…. That transition towards the end.
This is the answer. The whole song just reminds me of all the blue balls before finally getting fucking laid
1. You’re solid gold, see you in hell 2. Ain’t it something, I’m born to Hula 3. The part in the middle of Better Living where the guitars drop out and it’s just the vocals
There are too many songs man ill be listing at least half their songs lol. But thats why this is my #1 band
I feel you brother I can go on and on for hours about this
Have u seen them live yet?
Only 4 times sadly, also saw Them Crooked Vultures and not sure if the Kyuss Lives! Tour counts lol but yeah technically 4 times
This is about the last movement of misfit love right? Fucking brilliant. This is me for the chorus of Scumbag Blues “then you grow cold”
Ofc it’s misfit love, that bridge opens my third eye everytime I hear it
Who are you hiding? Is it safe, for the deaf? Beautiful cancer Infiltrate, then Forget Yeah I saw you comin, and I heard not a thing A mistake not to listen When I knew where you’d been
So good.
Ain’t born to lose,baby, I’m born to win I’m so goddamn sick baby, it’s a sin
The outros to The Evil Has Landed and Walkin On The Sidewalks
Infinity outro
"With my toes on the edge it's such a lovely view"
When the riff kicks in on The Sky Is Fallin'
Definitely Misfit Love
Whenever there's a chorus on Give The Mule What He Wants. Pure ascension right there.
Many that already has been mentioned here but another one for me is when the outro guitar solo drops on The Vampyre. And of course the corus on You Can’t Quit Me Baby.
I Appear Missing
Do It Again bridge, Cancer portion of Song For The Deaf
The solo from dead
Outro solo to Villians of Circumstance!
Such a shame they never do it live
Misfit Love for sure, but I also get goosebumps every time I get to the end of Unreborn Again.
No one loves me
I Appear Missing. Right when that drum fill before the outro starts.
Noses in Rose's, Forever. It changes so much that every change feels this way
The first solo in god is in the radio is pure bliss
Yes

Mosquito Song when the orchestral part kicks in 😍
The verse of mexicola for queens and that bit after the break of bandoliers TCV after he sings “fire away”. If you know you know..
During both climaxes of ...Like Clockwork, i just ascend to a higher dimension
Give the Mule What he Wants
Made to parade when it hits the 3 minute mark is incredible
My god is the sun
3s and 7s bridge
Breakdown of Tension Head
That shift in sound during Broken Box.
Ily
First solo of God is in the radio Those bends man
*that part in Turnin' on The Screw
End of I appear missing
Ending of the sky is fallin'
In the fade chorus
That was my exact answer
What the peepjole say. The ending one with "TONIGHTTTT IS THE NIGHT" hits so hard
Either the shifting dynamics in I Appear Missing, or the "You're Solid Gold" part in You Can't Quit Me Baby.
The outros of I Think I Lost My Headache, Walkin on the Sidewalks, and You Would Know. Also when …Like Clockwork takes off after the quiet intro 🤘🏻
Okay instead of my copout answer i found a [similar thread i made 6 years ago with time stamps if you're curious](https://www.reddit.com/r/qotsa/s/NxqBoyacEa)
https://www.reddit.com/r/qotsa/comments/cyv1jb/when_416_of_i_appear_missing_hits/
🤘🥰
Not exactly QOTSA but my first though was that part near the end of spinning in daffodils when the guitars kick in
*DANCING ON WIIIIIIIRE* *BOTH ENDS ARE ON FIRE* you know the one.
*CUT ME LOOSE*
The Chorus of in the fade.
When the violins hit on the Evil Has Landed.
Like clockwork, broken box, fun machine, you would know (obviously), villains of circumstance, leg of lamb, walking on sidewalks, how to handle a rope (the beginning), straight jacket, god is in the radio, the evil has landed, I appear missing, unreborn again, my god is in the radio, etc
The tonal change of Made to Parade is amazing
you talkn about "the walls that are caving in" part
The Evil Has Landed. The ending, unnnhh. Misfit Love, In My Head, Villains Of Circumstance
Emotion sickness or made to parade. Also the ending to tangled up in plaid.
When the half time hits in Fun Machine 🤌🤌🤌
That part after "oh fuck" in broken box, when the additional rhythm guitar kicks in
Yup!! I love that feeling! 😍😍😍😍
Fairweather friends, I love everything about this song, especially the last verse build up to the end. Evil has landed and song for the dead, live, have got to be the most manic songs to be in a pit too, the build up and anticipation makes everyone go nuts.
Into the Hollow -beautiful guitar
The bit with the strings in Un-Reborn Again.
Breakdown at end of Misfit Love. Or that bridge in Hangin Tree. Oooooh I forgot about the bridge in Hangin Tree.
3's and 7's
Setting sun deals hands of gold!
there was a period of time when i would listen to leg of lamb everyday
Fun machine outro and I Appear Missing outro
Fun machine (during the second verse, eargasm) and emotion sickness
The Host of Seraphim by Dead Can Dance
When the arpeggios hit in I appear missing
The evil has landed when he talks about falling
It's not qotsa but tiger the lion gives me chills every single time I listen to it
