"No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age

It's time for a journey of the mind, as Kirk picks apart one of
the best hard rock tunes of the early 2000s.


Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs for the Deaf" includes enough
bangers that it was tough to pick a single song to focus on, but
in the end, "No One Knows" won the day with its combination of
grit, groove, and focus. On this episode, Kirk dives deep into
the tune's tightly wound, surprisingly swinging arrangement, with
special focus on Dave Grohl's meticulous drumming.
