QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE


Josh Homme is back with another masterpiece and re-established his status of the emperor of rock. He is back to fuck up the anesthetized rock genre. A mature icon, Kurt Cobain of the 21 century. Genius, and a true macho bugger. Astonishing collaboration with NIN's Trent Reznor results in a devastating ballade Kalopsia. Celebrity list of collaborators includes Arctic Monkey Alex Turner and Scissor Sister Jake Shears and Foo Fighters Dave Grohl. Elton John called him to offer collaboration on this one by playing the piano. He s not in this video. The next song contains everything good about QOTSA - firm and dark chorus, masterful guitar riffs, excellent Josh's vocal. Yet it differs from the previous QOTSA albums by lack of social satire but giving us the world of 70s futuristic dystopia of sins and longing. They will be playing at VOLT Festival in Sopron 3rd July. Until then listen to all of QOTSA albums and prepare your whiskey with ice.. See you there!!
