Queens of the Stone Age
Episode 40
Saturday, 14 December, 2024
Pounding robotic trance desert stoner rock. Is that enough adjectives to describe what is maybe the last great mainstream hard rock band of the 21st century? We find more to use. It's QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE week!For a band often described as "The Josh Homme Project", we find ways to discuss the careers of way too many musicians on the show this week. Early clips on Conan and Kilborn capture the short-lived magical chemistry of Homme and bassist Nick Olivieri. Our biggest cheat clip ever on the show brings us to the Werchter, Belgium rock festival in 2002 featuring Dave Grohl and Mark Lanegan. Homme surrounds himself with a shifting cast of band members across the 2000s, including a one-song appearance by Will Ferrell. And we discuss the outsized influence and legacy of QOTSA in the dying landscape of modern mainstream rock music. Want to watch along with us?
