Queens of the Stone Age

Queens of the Stone Age have made their share of dark, druggy and downright depressing video clips over the years.

The way Josh Homme sees it, if things go well on Queens of the Stone Age's upcoming co-headlining tour of Australia with Nine Inch Nails, the concept could be expanded to a sort of touring festival that's inspired by the curatorial aspects of Trent Reznor's Beats Audio streaming music service.

A week after he berated an overeager fan who stupidly strolled onstage during a concert, Josh Homme unleashed a torrent of F-bombs against . . . well, a whole bunch of things, at a Queens of the Stone Age show.

An overeager Queens of the Stone Age fan jumped onstage during the band's performance in St. Petersburg, Fla., Tuesday night. It didn't go well.

Fans didn’t let a little snow, sleet and rain stop them from enjoying Queens of the Stone Age's headlining show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Saturday (Dec. 14). The band is touring behind ‘…Like Clockwork,’ their first album in six years, and oblivious to the elements, New York City showed up in full force, hungry for new tunes and old faves alike.

Queens of the Stone Age have a reputation as one of the world's premier stoner-rock bands. But as this list proves, they're way more varied than that constricting label allows.

Suffering early-onset summertime blues? Sit tight 'til fall -- Phoenix are coming to make it all better! Queens of the Stone Age are doing likewise!

For the past 15 years, Josh Homme has subtly tweaked and refined his music like a mad scientist. For all its visceral power, Queens of the Stone Age is built on a formula -- a heavy, colossal, mind-blowing formula, defined by detuned stoner-rock crunch and angelic minor-key spaciness, best exemplified by modern-rock classics like 2002's 'Songs for the Deaf' and 2007's 'Era Vulgaris.'

Queens of the Stone Age heralded the release of '…Like Clockwork,' out June 4, by playing a gig full of new tunes last night (May 23) at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.

Queens of the Stone Age have shared the latest animated video for a new song from '…Like Clockwork,' out via Matador on June 4. This time, it's 'My God Is the Sun,' which will be the album's first single. The epic and artsy track features those signature Josh Homme riffs and dramatic, vibrato-y vocals. It makes you wonder how anyone could've ever considered QOTSA to be stoner rock.
