Josh Homme: I wanna meet Iggy Pop. *One year later makes one of the best rock albums of all time with Iggy Pop*

[@Screech891]

He'd already spent about 6 or so months making the album in secret at this point

[@startervisions]

they met in 2001. the Kerrang magazine cover photoshoot with Iggy Pop, Marilyn Manson and Josh Homme

[@brianpatrick6102]

If they ever lose their hands they can always be comedians. Too funny.

[@mike64]

+brian patrick They would be even funnier without hands

[@MaddieMadderson]

Should of told ISIS that, too soon?

[@lefthandstan]

+GT Tree Trunkz A little but good effort

[@TheStrangeN]

Woah. It's hard to watch a guy like Jesse Hughes cry. He's always such a positive figure, and it's crazy to see a guy like him be so vulnerable. Can't wait for the documentary!

[@emergentx]

+Nicholas O'Neil You know that was suppose to be funny? I know ... kind of odd, because he did such a real job of it.

[@NotDingse]

+Scott Lave ohhh you nailed it so goddamn hard mane! righ in the bullseye!

[@robinsonsvillage7599]

+Scott Lave You spelt "Kyuss" wrong.

[@EmissaryofYogSothoth]

+James Burns you stole my line

[@rush211289]

+James Burns Sorry, but to me, Kyuss is dead 90s grunge. Theres no place for that when you've got the collaborated talent that is TCV. It's modern, down to earth rock which is hard to come by today. And I mean.. John Paul Jones.

[@EmissaryofYogSothoth]

+Richard Hebenstreit "90's grunge"? Kyuss were one of the most forward thinking and heaviest bands of the 90's. Far superior to Queens, EODM and Crooked Vultures

[@chrissstttiiine]

I love watching these guys fangirl over Iggy.

[@terryneal3314]

Damn, the music that comes from this honesty, humor, and sincerity is amazing. Thank you guys, the music means a lot to me, a lot!

[@cyrilfrd6869]

Dear Josh and Jesse, one month ago I watched this video. Now I'm crying with you Jesse. I'm french and I live in Lyon. All my thoughts are with you, all your band, your families. Please come back to France one day, we love you so much. I was hoping to see you at Hellfest. I had tickets for tomorrow's Foo Fighters gig in Lyon. A french fan of Eagles, Queens and Foo Fighters. Peace, love and death metal

[@taramac1473]

mojo jojo fuck you.....I mean Jesus fuck This kid writes a heartfelt message to Jesse and you turn it into some sort of I dunno man. Wtf is wrong with you. Ps I never comment on KZbin but I just felt compelled

[@TheMarkusHK]

Josh Homme is the best. The only musician I would love to meet in person some day.

[@scaredypicker]

It was so weird seeing Jesse Hughes in person at Winter NAMM 2017. It was after one of the show days in Anaheim and me and my brother were walking into town to get a pizza. I saw him outside a steak house queuing up to get something to eat. I thought about going up to him and saying hi but then I thought better of it. The guy was hungry and waiting to get something to eat and he's probably sick of people coming up to him all day... Still, I kind of wish I did.

[@Redheadedchinaman]

"If we were drug dealers ,we would be the drug dealer that you'd overdose every time youd bought our drugs because they'd be that good tg. So that's like the standard we have with music, but really since I'am only stealing from the best albums ever made technically I all ways write the greatest albums of all time." -Jesse Hughes lol amazing

[@pedrofaria7451]

+Tyrantax i wish be friend of those two even if im not fan of their music, i like it but im more crazy about radiohead, interpol, joy division, pixies and bands like that not so rock n roll, but as guys to hang out with those two would be amazing and crazy

[@gumborific]

To be such originals in the landscape of rock and roll is quite impressive.

[@PetrisonRocha]

josh's presentation at 0:56 is something i definitely have to add to my playbook xD

[@mrsplitfoot23]

seriously. if I ever hit the desert, I'm blasting both of their bands.

[@thepuppethead1188]

Fuck,these guys are as Rock 'n' roll as you can get! They can play some sweet riffs and have a wit sharper than a knife! Just a raunchy couple of dudes.

[@Einherji81]

I so wish that Josh would be a guest on the joe rogan experience

[@michaelhayes5601]

holy shit people lets make this happen

[@VAHZGEN]

Duuuude

[@LeonardoBruno54]

Bill Burr went to Josh's Alligator hour, now he needs to be a guest on the MM and from that JRE.

yes

[@elledesperado721]

He’s too smart for Joe

[@Ty1350]

That introduction of Josh saying he's the cookie monster reminds me of the Alligator Hour lol he's such a good radio host

[@Dyp100]

To be honest, I always thought these two were a bit of an odd pair, though I think they compliment each other. Homme might be super charismatic, but he's clearly an introvert, while Hughes is like, the biggest attention seeking rock and roll extrovert type ever. Also lol to all the people being like "Oh Josh putting on a gay lisp blah blah". If you look at ANY of his interviews where he's with a friend, or someone who likes, he starts lisping. It's probably just a comfort thing.

[@PainslayerIllusion]

On a thumbnail it looks like Josh has a sigarette hanging out of his mouth :D

[@jamesowen8568]

+cactaceous It does feel like Josh is camping it up a tiny bit! It's subtle but I noticed the lisp too!

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

He's talked a bit like that since the operation, but he really cranks it around Jesse. Not to get all psychiatrist on anyone, but it may be a bit of a subliminal regression into childhood, being they grew up together. It's kind of a little kid demeanor and speech pattern I think, but hey, what do I know?

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

lionstanding Yeah, he's so gay his wife is pregnant with his third child. I mean come on, at least do your homework. If you are going to call him out, call him Bi. Or at least effiminate.

[@cactaceous]

+lionstanding Hahaha Yeah dude Homme is certainly not gay. I think you are projecting your fantasy on him lionstanding.

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

lionstanding Bi is both, technically, so you're half right... but still half wrong. And effiminate has nothing to do with sexual preference, but if unless you want to talk semantics all night, we can just call the whole thing off. What do you say, baby?
