[@jessaw8160]

Id love to see Queens do a Tiny Desk show. It would be incredible.

[@stefaniahnavarrete5670]

What a good idea

[@aboy_Mikey]

i agree!! i just watched the 311 tiny desk set and having a 5 piece is totally doable! i’d love for this to happen

[@jamesedmonds7519]

Hell yeah!

[@lion-o6724]

Just saw them at Rockville in Daytona!Goddam they are good live!!! 🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻

[@seandpizzle]

this. this is serving your community.

[@dylan0wn5]

protect this man at all cost

[@joshuanickles8512]

I'm so glad someone asked about "Misfit Love." What an excellent track. Absolutely filthy, and dude is right. The shift to the outro is just incredible.

[@ihatezgoogle6264]

It’s the best (meaning my favorite) queens song

[@eartrumpetrecordings]

Josh has never appeared healthier, clearer thinking, and so casually funny+intelligent… Bro-you inspire and make the world a better place! Big excitement for Chicago in October

[@abadonarcher]

"There aren't any rules and anyone who tells you there are rules wants you to work for them."

[@ArthurPerez-t2e]

Holy crap the last minute is the best part. Seeing Josh interact with his kids was a brand new perspective. That warmed my heart to see him as Dad, it almost makes me want to cry because as a dad myself it’s probably the only way I’ve ever felt similar to him. I dad just like that.

[@eonsdayz3231]

He’s articulated and intelligent. I’ve really become inspired by him lately…and he’s still alive and currently seems grateful and happy- very awesome to see ❤him

[@cmos4044]

Same, I stopped listening to Queens around Era Vulgaris and currently rediscoving them, Kyuss and Homme's other bands. I didn't appreciate them enough in their prime

[@notLime_]

Same

[@chrivison]

The emotion in his voice is palpable. Damn bro

[@badbrain7163]

Vultures reunion. Yes please 🤠 So bittersweet to hear about Lanegan. It’s clear he loved him.

[@kellycoe1787]

Cant put this guy anywhere but in the “down to earth, funny, punny MoFo” category. Thanks for sharing Josh

[@lindalinda0316]

You forgot the "hot as hell" category. Sexiest man ever...

[@alexanderschieving5847]

Great Q&A. Josh Homme is one of the funniest guys around. I remember he was in the Joe Rogan podcast where Joe should be the biggest comedian in the room and the jokes Josh Homme told him were completely flying over Joe's head. Same for Bill Burr. These comedians just cannot compete with Josh on multiple levels lol.

[@josemiguelcastiblancogomez7723]

Josh is so witty and selazy

[@jorisw_]

I remember seeing that and thinking the same

[@MarkisDavidson-ti4lg]

I felt with Burr it was a pace thing but they had good chemistry. Joe Brogan is just a meathead moron lol

[@l.anders8867]

Josh is friends with Bill Burr.

[@cyyytr0n]

Arrrrg, the insights of Era Vulgaris (Misfit Love outro and Turnin' on the Screw vocals) make me want to hear a 2 hour talk with the musicians who create this masterpiece, I love that crazy-ass album

[@outintheshop1005]

Misfit Love is my favorite song to drive fast to. It will be blasting when I end up going too fast and end up crashing and burning.

[@bartman7181]

^just a dead man walking through the dead of night

[@outintheshop1005]

@@bartman7181 gutter don’t forget this face.

[@philmalatino8230]

When the song ends but the drive doesn't it's so frustrating. We need a whole hour version of misfit love.

[@SP-ie6nq]

The opening of the song is pure electricity

[@TheGoutMan1000]

I love the fact that Josh won’t show his rig rundown, and I love his advice about finding your own sound… of course it’d be interesting to know what he uses but it’s way cooler not knowing or trying to figure it out

[@lindaohanraha-hanrahan2817]

Josh looks great. I just love Queens of the Stone Age. ❤ So much!!!! As musician over 50 I can relate to it.

[@Clss09isthbst]

He does look great and I’m loving the goatee!

[@joelhague5515]

Yeah, Linda, I thought this immediately, like “Wow, he looks healthy, and the facial hair is working for him.” I like that he’s putting on the glasses to read and then taking them off, ha ha, I can totally relate.

[@onnevankenobe]

Better Josh interview out there. under his sense of humor lie brutal truths and good life advice. I don't like perfect music or perfect anything for that matter.

[@aarondavis6705]

That man who gives "good life advice" was addicted to meth for 16yrs his advice should always be taken with a grain of salt. Im not trying to undermine his intelligence, i know damn well wisdom comes with age. I think his perspective on being a dad is beautiful but as a man wow hes got some issues. Also as a 10yr trained vocalist ugh love his studio voice is beautiful, buuut live his diphthongs and his ,for lack of better words, his swooping from note to not is to much. Finally he doesn't enunciate his words enough to understand him while hes singing. I almost think his singing style depends on what sound is popular for that generation.

[@CANNIBoy]

Hey Josh- I know you’re not reading these comments, but I’ll say it anyway: Queens are my and my best friend’s all time biggest band, sadly I lost him 7 years ago, and we never got to see you live! I’m unlikely to go to your future shows alone, I miss him too god damn much, but if I were in the audience, my sign would read: Fun machine The blood is love Leg of lamb * *THEE SONG THAT GOT ME INTO YOU GUYS, AND STILL ROCKS SO HARD ✔️

[@marimrss]

Fun Machine !!!! One of the best!

[@CANNIBoy]

You’ve great taste!

[@tk80mufa5]

I was at the SALT MINE concert !!! it was great , but really like Josh described , it was definitely an experience !!! I will email Universal Germany !!! 😁

[@peterb7435]

I love Josh’s honesty in this. Holy shot! 🔥

[@Kelavmeister]

Peephole coming to the live set is the best news ever

[@quicklicks5963]

"2 wrongs don't make a right but 40 wrongs make a weird" lol

[@weenibeenies]

he’s like a dorky semi-nervous lil stoner dad now and i’m all here for it.

[@Musso8771]

Idk. He never comes across as dorky or nervous.

[@comedyforlife7]

Thank you for doing this interview Josh !!!!!

[@johnqualls5990]

Great Q&A! Love the progression over the years. Always helped my creativity 🤘

[@AmyCullen-xo1fq]

I could watch this over and over and over ❤❤again

[@knew_man]

“Mystery is bitchin’ …” It really is, Josh.

[@ConanTroutmann]

God bless this man and keep him safe at all cost. Music needs people like Josh to remind us all to just have a good time, shake your ass and remember..... It's just rock and roll!!🖖😎🤘❤️

[@thisdeath]

aww him telling his kids all of them are his favorite that moment is nice

[@Vanoffy]

Lanegan was so awesome. Queens was so good with him. Their best lineup. I loved his scowls at Joey on drums😂

[@JoeyVatavuk]

if josh wants it this bad, Dave knows he needs to do it. john is running out of time brother. 🖤

[@christinaroberts711]

Love this musician and how he keeps on truckin. He’s like no one else.❤

[@theancientandhermeticorder9453]

Rest in Power Mark Lanegan! Can't imagine losing a bandmate, so thanks for another lovely story.

[@20th_century_Ghost]

Josh Homme is an electrical wizard. Josh Homme's pudding is proof. Josh Homme is a guitar wielding riddler and a fiddler up on the roof.

[@Kenobi_Cowboy]

He's totally correct right off the bat of course. The QOTSA Reddit fans are lovely and are great dancers.

[@arzabael]

18:22 words can’t explain how lucky I am I stumbled on this to hear him say this one thing I needed to hear

[@AnaYañez-w1c]

Talking about how the government can do everything to protect our children and grandchildren and our families and our families from this pandemic. Thanks for the currying!

[@drucilladusk]

Hope your doing ok, Josh. Get well soon but take as much time as you need. 🖤

[@Alfareon]

"it was covered in Queen's......stuff"

[@swaglord3076]

This was an absolute joy to hear your thoughts...you are incredible artist. Thank you for sharing.

[@BPrim-ce5zw]

They are so fun to watch.

[@wickharr]

That was so good, damn, lucky kid whichever one gets the Camaro! What a legend. As a guy that collects monochrome leopard print clothes I liked that question the best. Leopard print rules, it’s classy and trashy, masculine and feminine, common and rare. There’s something about it.

[@supragraf]

Misfit love is the greatest jam song of all time

[@nexusobserve]

the only palm tattoo that isn't terrible. also josh inspired my youth

[@CelestialInferno]

“It wouldn’t matter if it was Joe Shit the Rag Man or Gravel Gurdy playing” lolol…

[@TimClauson]

Speaking of unreleased Quuens... The full recorded show from MOMA in Australia needs to see the light of day.

[@2010pearljgirl]

There is so much goodness in this!

[@mariaandreeva9721]

He looks amazing! Also, love how he needs glasses to read the questions

[@ElizaK1021]

Yes please PLEASE one more TCV album 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@davidpousho4828]

Josh don't forget in Over the Edge, they didn't just burn down the school, they trapped all the parents inside first!

[@Shroomdiffnuclear]

Can't wait to see you for the 3rd time this summer.....❤

[@gwendolynqtl9732]

God damn. How did I miss this

[@tylerwilson5534]

Thanks for the wonderful music. I hope your well. And keep making that magic noise 🤘

[@Levente20]

thats one good lookin man right there

[@patrickjenkins2788]

Misfits is one of my favs I was crushed when you didn’t play it at rams head live during eras tour! We were right in front! Ahahah ! 🥰

[@gonesavage]

Thanks for putting this together!

[@wellplays1]

QOTSA is my fav band of all time, I'm really happy to see Josh doing well =)

[@donnaspears1970]

Great interview! Thank you.

[@Gabe511]

This was amazing!! And where can i get that awesome Nirvana skateboard?!

[@dseveno8254]

My man was spot on about Misfit Love and the outro. It was almost like another song attached to the end. Fucking genius.

[@novai6554]

18:24 The knocking in the background made me think someone was knocking at the door and he's describing that phenomenon at the same moment

[@Mialamorena1]

This ama was so much fun 🤩 the day of… jumping between the Reddit sub and KZbin was 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Sooo many questions and this redditors question got the MOST upvotes in the sub!

[@MrMatheuzito]

Heart shape hole where the hopes runs out

[@AnaYañez-w1c]

Also thanks for Akira! I hope 🤞 you have a great day too and I hope you have a great weekend too I hope you’re doing great 😊 and have fun 🤩 and thank goodness 😅!!

[@patrickwade757]

this was quite fun and enjoyable

[@chadwilkinson7065]

I'd like to hear this interview on the recording of Bubblegum.

[@Spookje09]

Yeah, me too! I've been on a Bubblegum binge. Never gets tiresome!

[@mattrichmond.3194]

Came here to say that! Bubblegum is incredible, would love to hear more about how it was made

[@Pindapoepert]

If anyone finds this interview, please help us out here :)

[@andrewcanning3840]

These are some great questions!

[@TjByers369]

Some are too busy living history perfectly to remember it perfectly.

[@Vanoffy]

Josh born on 5/17/73 and me on 5/16/73. He is my brother from another mother

[@foodforthegods]

I love how saying "because the other guys (in Vultures) are Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones" still makes him laugh. And he's right too because, frankly, it's ridiculous! 😂

[@peachmelba1000]

Damn, I remember when I learned he and Brody started having kids. To hear them speak and realize that they're not rugrats anymore. Time jump! haha😅

[@Poeticrebellion]

Omg I’ve literally been saying his name wrong for 15 years lol.

[@haryygeros7528]

That ending is a thousand words

[@Jay91Byrd]

If the Vultures get back together that would be a dream come true!!

[@patrickjenkins2788]

Somehow each album you guys make is better than the last quite an achievement historically.

[@BlackofAzur]

That was awesome

[@heathlewis4414]

I have those Spike Jones decks hanging in my house.

[@biggieskellz]

Joshua “dilf colonel sanders” homme

[@comedyforlife7]

Love Them Crooked Vultures !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@franciscoantonio5306]

I wish they'd play Obscenery more. I'm gonna be at the Santa Barbara Bowl show and am really hoping for it!😎

[@Panther-v3u]

Mark it was a complicated man I love that! But I love you more josh you are an amazing human being,so transparent,funny,goofy,silly,cooky like a child and that's life about it enjoying and not taking to seriousl. You are so beautiful to me like the song 😂 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@KarmicPatina]

Those glasses give off Ted Danson vibes😂

[@xx7secondsxx]

Over the Edge east a BIG influence on the SLTS video by Nirvaner🤘🎸🤘🎸🤘🍻🍻

[@raim4177]

The Queens sub Reddit is where its at baby

[@msbadkittie]

this is so good. how is it possible that Josh gets better looking as he gets older? because god d*mn he is hella fine ❤

[@torys8236]

With Men, the wall usually doesn't win.

[@susanmcdaniel9680]

HELLA FINE!!!

[@BLAKERIDES]

I got to second base when I took her to Breaking 2 Electric Bugaloo.

[@calebkeegan3023]

I love new album inspiration indeed...helps me try to stay away from long distance relationship with a narcissistic female on off four yrs..." If I followed u id be lost too that can never be" hard when she doesn't want me to leave her and her 7 yr old...but there still red flags..." Oh betrayal tears me up inside" can't wait to be on the other side Josh .

[@calebkeegan3023]

Here a song I did on garage band 2024 ...all vocals, guitar, drum on keys , me...even if u never get to listen ty.

[@coryleblanc]

Just start a family of your OWN

[@gmac9284]

"Alright,well, let's get started!" Don't mind if I do says i😊

[@avarus9725]

>sees dog >gets completely side tracked from his thought 😂😂😂

[@Brianvanmoustache]

He brought up turnin on the screw vocals, when I first heard that song I didnt think it was Josh at all either. Not no more tho

[@sercastamere9853]

Josh Homme and Ethan Hawke are two of my most favourite people to see interviewed

[@Anton-wk8lv]

13:57 For a second I thought he said Over the hedge and I almost fainted

[@jspaulding4106]

Josh Wa Hommie.

[@C134B]

I thouth that "electric bugaloo" was a "it's always sunny" reference.

[@swaglord3076]

That is the best answer!😂

[@AnaYañez-w1c]

What a word : exotic!

[@The_HolyMackerel]

Believe it or not... Everyone in r/QOTSA is extremely good looking.

[@theyurinunes]

What hair products and care Josh uses? I just love it and wanted to know
