One chord, four stabs and you’re in. This simple yet instantly recognisable intro kicks off No One Knows, a 21st century rock behemoth that made stars of its performers, Queens Of The Stone Age, and introduced a festival-ready singalong riff that’s as beloved today as it’s ever been.
No One Knows was the lead single from the band’s third album, 2002’s Songs For The Deaf. The album found the Californian band teaming up with alt-rock icon Dave Grohl on drums with spectacular results, and cemented QOTSA band leader Josh Homme as one of the purest rock star frontmen of the new millennium. Aided by a suitably surreal music video, No One Knows became an alternative radio mainstay, and was quickly established as the definitive QOTSA song.
