This bass line NEVER quits. Bass Teacher REACTS to QOTSA – “The Evil Has Landed”
FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More ???? https://www.patreon.com/LowEndUniversity
—————————————————
➡️ Released in 2017 on the band’s “Villains” album, “The Evil Has Landed” surprised me by sounding more like an unearthed Zeppelin jam than a polished modern rock song. What makes it so compelling is bassist Michael Shuman’s role: weaving fills, fuzz, and swagger into nearly every section without ever losing the pocket. I mean… bass melodies for DAYS on this one. In this video, I dive into the shifting harmonic landscape between natural minor and Dorian, the song’s clever use of dynamics and carefully-placed pauses, and what this track can teach bass players about phrasing, tone, note lengths, and restraint.

Check out i appear missing from them its pretty good
@21:05 haha what the fuck, you gotta do more Kyuss/QOTSA, in terms of juicy basslines you really can't get better
Mainy people "miss neck" but honestly Mr Mikey Shoes is such a fucking killer bass writer
I appear missing long outro at pink pop best ever!!!
Definitely more QOTSA and you need to check out Viagra Boys and Wet Leg! Oh and Them Crooked Vultures
People who just listen and rock out to music:
Best drummer – Dave Grohl. Best bassist – Nick Oliveri. Best album – SftD (with a little bit of Rated-R)
People who play instruments:
Best drummer – Jon Theodore. Best bassist – MIKEY SHOES. Best album – …Like Clockwork, Villains.
Dude QotSA are one of the greatest of all time
I got to see this song live in concert only a few weeks before the album came out, was so groovy and when the "HERE… WE… COME… " bit kicked in the whole crowd was going crazy hah
Never been disappointed at a QOTSA show in the half a dozen odd times I've seen them live!
sick low end bass riff on tangled up in plaid

I never thought I would hear one of my favorite bass players review bass lines from my favorite band.
Yes.
Such a shame that this album had Mark Ronson’s involvement. Desperately need a remaster.
More QOTSA please. Best live show I ever went to and astonishing album catalogue. Mexicola and Better living through Chemistry should be on here as well.
Honestly, one of the best bands out there. You really can't go wrong with anything in their discography.
Queens are the reason I wanted to play bass. Every song has something interesting going on! Whilst they’ve had several bass players, they’ve all been incredible musicians, you’re not going to find a boring bass line.
I sat by the ocean or I appear missing would be good to see your take on! ????
You can't quit me baby is a glorious bass riff
PLEASE PLEASE react to BATES MOTEL by the canadian band MUTE.
Please.
The best working rock band out there! Check out the bass on I appear missing… the outro is so moving
On a side note, Mikey Shoes did it while backing up the vocal
one of my favorite songs, and was my first QOTSA song
You gotta hear Better Living Through Chemistry
Saw them play that song live last year and as a bass player (who still struggles playing this song) seeing Michael crush this bass line WHILE signing high harmony was mind-blowing. One of the high point of the show for sure
For more bassy riff of Mikey Schu, you need to hear I Appear Missing or My Head Like A Hunted House by the QOSTA.
Qotsa are incredible, hope to see a lot more of them featured! Mikey is incredible and has many more amazing bass lines. Their first bassist Nick Oliveri also had some wicked bass lines too.
please react to mexicola by queens of the stone age! incredible, ear-melting bassline in that song
MORE QOTSA PLEEEEEEEEEEASE
Very well articulated analysis, very well done content, congrats!
Please, react to I appear missing now!!
I'm sorry man. But you NEED to dig into QotSA. No regrets
Them crooked vultures. JPJ, Homme, grohl.
Bass hooks in misfit love are some of my favorite
This whole album gave me Zeppelin vibes. I'd been listening to QOTSA for probably 10 years when it came out and had never connected those dots. I think his time with John Paul Jones in Them Crooked Vultures sort of transformed the QOTSA sound. That sole TCV album is wonderful. JPJ and Dave Grohl on drums with Josh Homme again. It had to be awesome.
Space Cadet Kyuss
You can't quit me- qotsa has a NASTY bassline
I Appear Missing by QOTSA would be another excellent song for bass.
Tons of interplay between the bass and drums, super rhythmic bass parts.
Guys at the end he said he knows Scott Reeder personally but never listened to Kyuss!!! We should have him listen to Space Cadet! It’s an amazing Kyuss song that Scott wrote, and the bass is pretty much the lead on it
I appear missing
I'm a huge QOTSA fan, huge fan of your channel … love having them together! You should do some Them Crooked Vultures – you'll get that mix of Led Zeppelin and QOTSA, because it's literally Josh Homme and JPJ. If you're down for a longer song, i'd recommend 'Warsaw or the first breath you take after you give up" aka "the first song". Also … Mikey Shoes is amazing!
Do Better Living through chemistry. Surreal bass line
Loved this, queens songs always have amazing parts for all instruments. Can't wait for more
Mikey Shoes is a monster bassist. He's also doing the higher harmonies live (on this song too), no easy feat considering how often he's gliding through their songs with groovy inversions and leads throughout.
