Could we be getting closer to finally having a new Queens of the Stone Age album? It appears that way as the group has updated their website to feature a splash page that offers brief instrumental snippets every time the page is refreshed. In addition, after several refreshes, the site offers the messages "June" and "… Like Clockwork" under the artwork on the page.
Dave Grohl isn't an official member of Queens of the Stone Age -- he serves as guest drummer on the new album -- but that didn't stop the Foo Fighters frontman from revealing that he'll be joined on the disc by a much more unlikely guest: Elton John.
Queens of the Stone Age are in the process of finishing up their next album, but took time out of their schedule to give fans a little insight (or perhaps none at all) on exactly how the disc is coming along in a new mockumentary short inspired, in part, by 'This Is Spinal Tap.'
Queens of the Stone Age continue to add to the impressive guest list for their forthcoming album, with Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears being the latest to reveal his involvement in recording sessions.
There is never a dull moment when it comes to former Queens of the Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri. The musician has not only rejoined Kyuss Lives!, but he also has contributed vocals to the upcoming QOTSA album.
Dave Grohl is heading back behind the drumkit for Queens of the Stone Age, and he says one of the things the experience provides is freedom from restrictions. The Foo Fighters leader told BBC Radio 1 (via NME) that he's really enjoying backing up old pal Josh Homme and that the musical chemistry is undeniable.
Musical mastermind Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and How to Destroy Angels recently took part in an open Q&A session on Reddit.com. Reznor participated in an 'AMA' session, which means, "Ask Me Anything." With no barriers in place, fans submitted a mass of questions, which led to some insightful revelations from Reznor, including news that he has been helping out Josh Homme with a new Queens of the Stone Age song.
We now know what Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl is going to do with at least part of the band's hiatus, as it's been revealed that he's returned to the drumkit to play on the next Queens of the Stone Age album.
The lineups for the 2013 Lollapalooza festivals in Brazil and Chile have been announced. Lollapalooza Brazil will return to São Paulo's Jockey Club March 29-31, 2013, while Lollapalooza Chile will make its way back to Parque O'Higgins in Santiago April 6-7, 2013.
Those waiting for a new Queens of the Stone Age album will have to settle for the Josh Homme solo single titled 'Nobody to Love' for the time being. The track made a rather low-key debut late last week as it appeared over the closing credits of Jake Gyllenhaal-Michael Pena cop movie, 'End of Watch.'
Fans following Queens of the Stone Age on Facebook were the first to receive some good news yesterday (Aug. 20) when the elusive band posted one simple word that pointed towards progress on the status of their latest album.
We’re not sure if Scissor Sisters singer Jake Shears had this in mind last fall when he expressed his desire to work with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, but regardless, it’s pretty awesome.
