queens of the stone age Reviews, Interviews & More

2013 is shaping up to be a great year for Queens of the Stone Age fans—not only is their new album, …Like Clockwork, their best album since 2002’s Songs for the Deaf, but the band has now announced an extensive fall tour in support of the LP.  Will they be coming to your town?

Last week, we reported on a leaked poster that allegedly listed the Lollapalooza 2013 lineup.  While most of this kind of leaked music fest information turns out to be faked, last week’s Lollapalooza poster was legit.  That’s right, The Cure, The Killers, and Mumford & Sons will be your headliners at Lollapalooza 2013, with support from Nine Inch...

Futuristic singer Grimes, a.k.a. Claire Boucher, spoke out on behalf of Beyonce, Korean pop singer PSY and Mariah Carey this week. She wrote a thoughtful post on why these people matter. Also, Eminem is definitely releasing a new album this year. According to his label's president, it's coming very soon (like right after Memorial Day soon). All that and more...

Honestly, we thought Britney Spears or Demi Lovato would announce their departure from The X-Factor before this next person. L.A. Reid is calling it quits. He's going back to his real-life job at Sony's music label, Epic Records. Also, just because Dave Grohl is drumming on the new Queens of the Stone Age record, it doesn't mean he's going on tour with them. C'mon...

Well now, this is turning out to be quite the reunion. Earlier this month, it was announced that Dave Grohl would reunite with Queens of the Stone Age by playing drums on their upcoming album. Now, there's been a new addition. Ex-Queens bassist Nick Oliveri has also jumped on board and will reunite with his old pals.

Nine Inch Nails' brilliant frontman, Trent Reznor will be collaborating with Queens of the Stone Age on new material. During his Reddit AMA, Reznor revealed that he was helping Josh Homme on a new QOTSA track.

Now that he needs something to do following the “this is totally not a break up, I swear” hiatus of his day job, the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl is doing the honorable thing and reuniting to drum for Queens of the Stone Age on their upcoming album (and subsequent tour, we hope).

Today, in holy mother of God this cannot really have happened news, Spinner reported an interesting little tidbit about Queens of the Stone Age.  And by interesting little tidbit, I mean of the bandmembers-performing-surgery-on-backstage-fans-variety.

After the hit single "No One Knows" introduced Queens of the Stone Age--and, along with them, so-called "stoner rock"--to a wider audience, band leader Josh Homme has taken the opportunity this success has given him to explore several outlets for his musical expression, continuing to play in the band while also working on such side projects as Eagles of Death Metal and the dream-come-true...

Jack White has recently directed the latest music video for The Dead Weather's new single "I Cut Like a Buffalo." The video mixes vivid colors and black and white footage throughout the piece and was shot in Nashville at the headquarters of The White Stripes frontman's label, Third Man.

It turns out our little hunch about the supergroup, Them Crooked Vultures, was right on! The super rock group formed by Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme unveiled themselves at the Lollapalooza's after-show and fans were not disappointed! After a hot and sticky then wet and rainy three-day...

After numerous online speculations about Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl, Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, and Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme forming  a supergroup, it turns out that the rumors are ACTUALLY true! The three musicians collectively call themselves Them Crooked Vultures and apparently, they've been working on a studio album for three years. If you're happy with...
