After being exclusive to Apple Music for the past three months, Queens of the Stone Age's music video for "The Way You Used to Do" — the lead single off their recent album Villains, released in August — has finally been uploaded to YouTube for all the world to see. Directed by ex-Bathory drummer Jonas Åkerlund (who's directed visuals for the likes of Beyoncé, Madonna and Lady Gaga, among others), the glossy clip resembles a Satanic take on Footloose. After performing the song in a crowded, dark-lit room, Homme shakes his groove thing alongside a bevy of headbanging men and women; the dance party starts off in an austere room with a pentagram drawn on the floor and winds up at church, eventually giving way to a devilish finale.
"Dancing and headbanging are truly individualistic expressions of losing oneself fully in appreciation of music," Homme says of the video. "Who better to combine these things into a singular vision than someone who's directed Madonna and Lady Gaga videos — and also happens to have been a member of Bathory?"
Queens of the Stone Age's world tour behind Villains is going on now. Find a full list of dates here.
