Wow, it's so amazing to see Homme (rock GOD) be so vulnerable and calm. He's definitely lived a life that hasn't always been as romantic as many of us dream life should be. So happy for him and his kids that he seems to be doing the work to stay clean and trying to maintain his mental and physical health. Hoping the cancer stays away. Watching his kids grow is obviously important to him. ❤❤

It took someone who barely knows anything about Josh to get him to open up and reveal absolutely everything. I’ve watched probably every interview that Josh has given in the last 20 years and this interview was the most honest, warm, sincere interview he’s ever given. Props to Neal for going “there” over and over, and props to Josh for obliging and exposing more of his beautiful soul to the world.

Less than a year ago, my wife and son were killed in a car crash. I thankfully still have a daughter, but have struggled so much with wanting to keep fighting moving forward. A second is a minute, a minute an hour and every day is an eternity. Speaking about loss, emotional trauma, wanting to help everyone else to push aside your own feelings, had me crying. in a foolish attempt to outrun my feelings, I've tried changing who I am, tried changing how I act, I didn't want to be that person that lost. Everything eventually comes back around, and I couldn't run away from myself anymore. You have to accept that you're broken. And that's understandable, and that there's no timeframe or expectations of recovery. Just breathe and find beauty in this world. Keep loving those you lost in a present tense, they helped make you who you are. And that thing should be beautiful, even if it is broken or missing pieces. Thank you. This new album has been my soundtrack.

Mikey Shoes is more confident than ever on the bass, Jon Theodore doesn't miss a (hard) beat on the drums, Troy van Leeuwen and Dean Fertita are rock solid on guitars and keys, and Josh himself is brilliant on vocals and lead guitar. ♫ Enjoy, here is the concert: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9OolM2E3rPIlXk.html

Josh had a rough four-five years; he said in another interview it was the worst four years of his life. He battled skin cancer, quit the drugs, divorced from his wife, and lost seven close friends, among them Anthony Bourdain and Mark Lanegan. R.I.P. After all that ─instead of hiding away or turning to alcohol─ he got the boys together and produced another masterpiece of an album. That just shows how tough he is, but in a good way. In this interview you get to see how thoughtful and down-to-earth he is, and with a great sense of humour.

Pure emotional feral creatures are rare. I thought I was alone. I'm so turned on I've come back to music.

As a long time fan, but also through the perspective as someone who works in the health/healing field, it's so wonderful to see that he wanted to do the work, get through his 'dark night of the soul,' and come out wiser, happier, and healthier for it. To clarify his question on anger being a response to fear/anxiety, etc., it's an emotion that when used correctly, results in making necessary adjustments and/or changes. When we get stuck in anger, it can kind of fester and become depression. Sometimes the anger is over having those fearful emotions in and of themselves, because it feels better than experiencing anxiety/fear. Anger causes movement, which is something he prefers, and fear often causes us to be still or freeze. If there is a fear of not being able to get back up, anger can feel like an accelerant to power through and dampen the discomfort of anxiety/fear. This healthy vibe suits him well. It's evident he's chosen to face his issues/traumas head on, and that is hard to do. Requires lots of reflection, change, difficult emotions, but the reward is growth and so much more freedom. I wish him continued success and health!

As someone who's struggled with substances and yet somehow managed to maintain a certain level of success, this episode was both validating and encouraging. Thank you Neal for facilitating these discussions, and thank you Josh for sharing your wisdom and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. Neal, if I may: on behalf of the less evolved viewers, I would love to hear you ask "what do you mean" every once in a while. I loved so much of what Josh shared, but much of it was on the poetic end to the point I wasn't sure I was fully understanding. I could make out the shapes of the messaging but still felt like I was drawing incorrect conclusions. I feel some of the more abstract concepts could have been helped by examples to fully connect the dots, if the guests are willing to share.

Josh Homme is just giving the gift of his reappearance with so many great interviews shows the album. What a blessing to us. I feel so honored to share the same birthday as this man.

This feels like it’s not a real life interview cause Josh is talking about the shadow and Carl Jung and making intense connections about suicide and pain and realization. Wonderful interview

This interview is what the Rogan interview should have been. Obviously different times but congrats on getting deep with Josh. This is great…

As a fellow speed freak dabbler in remission, its been clear to me from his lyrics that he enjoyed getting spun out. That shit is evil though but glad to hear him speak about it. First it giveth then it taketh away

Terry Gross, Marc Maron... Neal Brennan. Damn, dude. Every episode is killer. Getting Josh to be this real and putting his feet to the fire... crazy confidence and genuine curiosity. That's why he spoke to you. You were real, you were genuine and you were courageous. You're an amazing comic and a brilliant writer. This channel may be your finest artistic moment. Cause it's just real shit. Huge fan.

As a massive fan of Neil/Stand-Up in general, & an even more MASSIVE fan of Josh/QOTSA, I fucking loved every second of this. Thank you. "In Times New Roman..." is an absolute masterpiece. It's literally the only album I've listened to since midnight as soon as it hit the internet. Can't wait fucking wait to receive my physical copies, the CD & the Vinyl. Josh, thank you and the guys for this album. I've missed you guys for a long time. As impatient as I've been for a new Queens LP, fuck was it worth the wait. I fucking ove you guys! 🤘 -
