Full Joshua Homme Q&A Reddit 2024 from Queens of the Stone Age

[@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]

Yes

[@Pccart1121]

“Two wrongs don’t make a right. But 40 wrongs makes a weird.” So awesome lol

[@ginademarco8582]

I love Josh's interviews and this is one of his best ( and warmest can i say?)...such an intelligent , emotional ( more apparent , particularly in recent years ) and moral individual who treasures old school values of loyalty, integrity and friendship without judgement ( his reflections on Lanergan and his Queens band mates)..One of my favourite people ,( never mind musician) in the world.

[@Antimattanza]

00:00 - Introduction 00:59 - "Any Chance of Them Crooked Vultures 2 Electric Boogaloo?" 02:45 - "Any good Mark Lanegan stories you're yet to tell?" 07:04 - "Misfit Love is my favorite song, can you please talk more about how the song was written?" 11:39 - "Any plans for a documentary on the band, or yourself, or Lanegan?" 13:13 - "When is the live debut of Peephole and Sicily gonna be?" 15:05 - "What happened to the Salt Mine show and will we ever see it?" 17:07 - "Is Mikey singing the second "we've got our eye on you" on Peephole?" 19:30 - "Where should a novice guitar player start with pedals?" 22:41 - "Have you been listening to any soundtracks recently?" 25:18 - "It's lovely to see you smile and enjoy entertaining people" 26:14 - "What is your favorite thing about each of the Queens boys?" 30:29 - "Would you ever do a rig rundown?" 34:11 - "What's your dream leopard print item, and your favorite among the ones you already own?" 35:43 - "Who's your favorite kid?"

[@kimrecreant]

Thank you!

True hero

[@miclgael]

this. this is serving your community.

[@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."

[@thebiggbabu]

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

[@dylan0wn5]

protect this man at all cost

[@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.

[@badbrain7163]

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

[@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

[@pablowentscobar]

The most amazing thing I learned about Josh from this is that he didn't really understand how reddit works. Thank God.

[@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

[@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...

[@JamesIV97]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@prod.byzaha954]

10:05 I’m driving across the country starting in New England. I started listening to QOTS when I hit AZ and listened to a few albums in full and it was awesome 🌵

[@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 !!! 😁

[@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.

[@Kelavmeister]

Peephole coming to the live set is the best news ever

[@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

[@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!

[@anaaaa4023]

The blood is love is an amazing song! My fav from lullabies!

[@CANNIBoy]

Great taste!

[@quicklicks5963]

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

[@Vanoffy]

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

[@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.

[@comedyforlife7]

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

[@peterb7435]

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

[@johnqualls5990]

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

[@mariaandreeva9721]

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

[@drucilladusk]

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

[@theancientandhermeticorder9453]

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

[@Kenobi_Cowboy]

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

[@thisdeath]

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

[@TheJayman318]

Josh. You are amazing.

[@AmyCullen-xo1fq]

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

[@christinaroberts711]

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

[@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 😅!!

[@Vanoffy]

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

[@BPrim-ce5zw]

They are so fun to watch.

[@nexusobserve]

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

[@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!!🖖😎🤘❤️

[@swaglord3076]

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

[@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.

[@Gabe511]

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

[@supragraf]

Misfit love is the greatest jam song of all time

[@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.

[@haryygeros7528]

That ending is a thousand words

[@tobeherz1736]

I are just like a kid too...excellent

[@TimClauson]

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

[@JoeyVatavuk]

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

[@Levente20]

thats one good lookin man right there

[@Alfareon]

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

[@2010pearljgirl]

There is so much goodness in this!

[@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 :)

[@tylerwilson5534]

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

[@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

[@ElizaK1021]

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

[@CelestialInferno]

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

[@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 ! 🥰

[@gwendolynqtl9732]

God damn. How did I miss this

[@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!

[@dseveno8254]

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

[@welltrev]

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

[@comedyforlife7]

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

[@Shroomdiffnuclear]

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

[@gonesavage]

Thanks for putting this together!

[@davidpousho4828]

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

[@patrickwade757]

this was quite fun and enjoyable

[@heathlewis4414]

I have those Spike Jones decks hanging in my house.

[@BlackofAzur]

That was awesome

[@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 😂 ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jay91Byrd]

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

[@donnaspears1970]

Great interview! Thank you.

[@BLAKERIDES]

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

[@xx7secondsxx]

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

[@andrewcanning3840]

These are some great questions!

[@MrMatheuzito]

Heart shape hole where the hopes runs out

[@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! 😂

[@TjByers369]

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

[@avarus9725]

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

[@Poeticrebellion]

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

[@franciscoantonio5306]

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

[@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

[@eddiegekko420]

8:43 “I wanna be that song” ❤

[@jspaulding4106]

Josh Wa Hommie.

[@Anton-wk8lv]

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

[@theyurinunes]

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

[@drakchek1660]

Awesome❤❤❤

[@MrMatheuzito]

And with the yeah era

[@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😅

[@swaglord3076]

That is the best answer!😂

[@MrMatheuzito]

Im on digs to mariati, with jokes and singin. Did u heart jokerman?

[@patrickjenkins2788]

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

[@mattheweady615]

Yes a discussion about pedals! 😎🤘 like a spice rack excellent answer Josh, my personal opinion is you can't beat a good sweaty big muff & a nice hard cocked wah😉🧐

[@mikehaines3676]

34:20 is the funniest shit ever
