Josh Homme talks about head colds, Prince stories, Elton John and 'Like Clockwork'

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme took a few moments before his May 6 show in Saint Paul, MN to be interviewed by The Current's Jill Riley.
The two talked about head colds, Minnesota bands (LIKEHELL!), Prince, Elton John, radio DJs and making the '...Like Clockwork' record.

[@chadvonswan]

Josh Homme locked me inside a piano for an hour and read me muffled poetry

[@thedevilsaid6846]

Rithpec Aws what a question!

[@jamesskedjnr8374]

He would

[@CocaCoala]

Ain't even mad!

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

LMAO

[@StephenAndrew777]

Wow, so this is jealousy. Far out..

[@yukimaruzam]

This is the best interview I have seen with Josh. Any interviewer that is cheezy he just BURNS. So it is a very big deal that he actually talks to her, and her to him. Great stuff.

[@bottomsupbass]

i love the sara silverman interview is cool. she just tears into him and he pkays along. plus she is one of those girls who aren't really great looking (conventionally ) but is sooooo sexy

[@yukimaruzam]

She completely works it. In that interview she plays hardball, and I agree he is right there with it. In this he respects her knowledge. Both great stuff.

[@rolanddeschain6461]

you do know that the Sarah Silverman interview was a total work right? It was completely fake and just fun comedy shit.

[@Elena-er7zp]

Love this interview. He's not doing his cocky rock star persona thing. He's just on a couch, interacting with a sincere, thoughtful interviewer.

[@yoursdumbass7151]

He's under the Minnesota wheather lol

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

Because Josh IS ALL he's funny too

[@chadwickwright2833]

So he’s talking to a human being having a conversation and you get cocky rockstar? He’s like this in most interviews. Also, he’s a rockstar. Now how do you feel.

[@rodrigoabi1]

He said way more than he'd have normally.. great interview!

[@mirthmobile4086]

Jill Riley is a great interviewer.

[@Danstraightedge]

I rarely comment but this is the best interview I have seen Josh ever give. Kudos to Jill Riley. Great!

[@pgrens]

Great interview! Very natural and interesting. Love the black and white, too.

[@TabethaAurochs]

Such a fantastic interview. I mean, Josh is funny and smart - but so is Jill. She gets him & QOTSA & has a great way of connecting with all this and getting some gems from Josh - omg "the Swiss army knife of musicians" was mos def one of them - So late but thanks for this interview that's so much better and yet shorter than so many others with Josh Homme. Helps too that she actually says Homme correctly.

[@RavenWolfDrum69]

Jill is not

[@lizardking939]

If Josh wants to see more djs playing 'Kingmaker' he would have loved my radio show in college. And not just because I used TCV, Spinnerette, QoTSA, Kyuss and EoDM as the core of my shows. All 10 listeners were impressed...

[@hippydippy]

Excellent interview. She really seemed to make him feel comfortable like they were just talking as friends in a way.

[@malakianleon]

This is the best interview with Josh Homme I have seen, really good.

[@chairmanmeow-ij1wd]

She kinda got to his core in the last few minutes. Great interview!

[@shmoedaddy1]

really cool interview, and it's refreshing to actually have an interviewer asking great questions and paying attention. Thanks!

[@L.A.W.Studios]

He's very very quick here ...not an easy thing to do as a deep thinker/music freak, great interview...

[@EthanNoble]

"Like what its about popcorn" lol he's got a good sense of humor

[@duhlike]

EthanNoble kind of like Kyuss "Demon Cleaner" is actually about toothpaste and brushing your teeth.

[@keeleypearl]

I liked her demeanor. Great interview!

[@nondescriptbeing5944]

I think I've listened to this station while traveling, it was great.

[@michaeldevers4861]

This interview is incredible

[@tomfawns22]

Solid interview

[@Ugly_on_the_Inside]

great interviewer, great intervirewee.. thank you.

[@chericehenderson4206]

Great interview!

[@deathfromabove77]

Nice interview..none of the shameless trying to "get down with the musician" type of nonsense we get these days from so called music journos...just simple questions, nice easy conversation, respect for the subject..most of the questions were fine ( none of them that completely different from previous interviews, but Josh Homme's natural intelligence and wit fill the gaps anyway) but at least the interviewer showed genuine interest in the musician and what he had to say...good work

[@umbilicalcreature1529]

deathfromabove77 i dig your name. DFA1979 is tits.

[@hopeworm]

Love this! Such a nice man

[@WatchHead]

Him and Minnesota in a same sentence... thinking of Fargo immediately.

[@Joshuavancruz]

Fantastic interview. Love it.

[@jamesskedjnr8374]

Top respect from josh

[@MeasHanSolo]

[@michaelexman5474]

[@nobunigaoda7049]

Dat's not a couch, dat's a love seat

[@vaseTheMusic]

[@crypttonite]

[@matthewbritt8498]

Great interviewer

[@aaronpaul899]

[@v.bright7123]

[@TheBorjamz]

Josh keep playing your music Be well be fine

[@jivopenov6936]

[@victor-non-victimbear-652]

Cool fucking dude. . Great interviewer

[@charlieo9727]

Did she really just ask who Jon Theodore is???!? Dying inside right now. XD

[@mi_casa_es_su_casa]

Some people weren't into Mars Volta, perhaps?

[@DirtyArtHole]

It's about popcorn....Ha ha ha

[@ircesa82]

11:53 Release the vultures, I would say 😅

[@rocknrollDuluth]

Put the Cage the Elephant interview on

[@philyeary8809]

Shh....light one up

[@phyrestorm999]

I'm trying to find the clip of J.Ho talking about his night terrors. Can anyone help? I know it's on KZbin somewhere. I've got a friend with the same problem who thinks it's her fault for "being a sissy" or some stupid shit, and I'm trying to prove her wrong.

[@2LimeCrewDosLimones]

jill is cool

[@mi_casa_es_su_casa]

Drooling over Jon Theodore? That is very interesting to hear.

[@brandystanner8915]

Epiphany: QOTSA must cover The Question of U

[@iamcasihart]

Yes!!! Easily in my top 5 favorite Prince songs!

[@wwfww]

Josh, don’t you.... TRY TO TAKE ME AWAAAYYYYY!😡

[@jtw71]

lol 12 did not like this interview. I don't have a lot of hope for them

[@Jamesp1972]

Er...Husker Du?

[@TheBorjamz]

:)

[@alanramos2864]

Dang he got covid

[@philyeary8809]

He survived. Wonder if he got the shitshot.

[@FadesbyDani]

awesome interview but dang he kinda stumbles and talks so odd like he is constantly thinking about every word he says as he is saying it

[@startervisions]

+Danita Brouseau prolly third inteview of the day and u know they can edit it

[@rockoutwithyourckout]

+Danita Brouseau All geniuses are slightly weird

[@FadesbyDani]

+monkeybone you got me that's perfect!!! :D

[@j9andphoenix]

+Danita Brouseau He has the flu - possibly just feels blecht and would like to go homme

[@Kenichimightiest]

Dani Girl I have a suspicion that he was intoxicated

[@c.c.6964]

Green Party Liberal is the way to go.

[@Zehnuss]

Right away he says he doesn't want to hug at the end...lol...I agree Josh, I wouldn't either...

[@crypttonite]

that most famous band, their lyrics were meaningless, made up last to go with the melody. Once u have a catchy hook & melody you can sing any ol thing.

[@CheshireCatband]

Cocaine. Not an insult, admittedly no research done, and a big fan, but...cocaine.....?!

[@chrishepburn1503]

CheshireCatband nope

[@MrBighairyass]

He seems to have that foot lined-up...watch out!

[@cachiruleta]

boring questions

[@jamesboyjinx]

He gets a head cold, he kicks a woman into a head concussion. Just another day for Josh Homme.

[@mickeysquintz9650]

Friendly SJW interviews the kid from Kyuss...

[@machineheadpankaj]

Jesus didn't she did any research on QOTSA or Like CLockwork..!!! I know more about all this then her..!!!

[@expansionist4]

It could be that her questions are more for the audience than for her. Maybe she knows all this but sometimes the point is just to get certain answers from the guest.

[@mattvgyo]

She’s a horribly uninformed interviewer. Bush league.
