"I'm not singing about nacho cheese or anything, I'm singing about LSD, which, I guess, y'know, both make you feel bad in the end."

There needs to be one of these for every Queens Of The Stone Age album.

"Oh, we wore that record out, man." Yup, that sounds about right.

In The Fade is gorgeous, but Better Living Through Chemistry is transcending, hypnotic and just as equally gorgeous at a certain point. That song really takes you to a beautiful and strange place.

This interview is good. This album is spectacular. In The Fade is extraordinary.

I Think I Lost My Headache is damn near perfection, the whole album just works up to that pinnacle...

It's April 2022 and I'm still playing the shit out of this album.

Josh Homie.

Can’t remember how many times I was awoken with headphone cables wrapped round my neck and those horns shouting in my ears. Thanks for the music Josh.

I lost it at when he mentioned Primus "And I wasn't singing about nacho cheese, more like LSD and stuff."

I think in the fade has gotta be my favourite song of all time - the feeling that inspires in me is like none other

I would love one of these for “Songs For The Deaf”. I think it’s one of the best albums of all time, and probably the best rock album of the 00’s.

"It's like going into a room and saying boobs." made me lol

David Bowie's influence is all over everything Josh has ever done and the respect is huge!!!

was a life changing record for me

One of the few things to be proud of bein an Englishman is how most great bands get recognised in the uk first.

Listened to this while stopping and playing each song in between :) Just beautiful.

I remember getting a job working at the festivals in 2002 selling food for a vegetarian company. Fine. Good times. They were cool. "You're here to work but if there's a band you wanna see, go for it". Glastonbury 2002. QOTSA are on the bill and I couldn't believe it, I never thought Dave Grohl would be with them though, I couldn't be that lucky. I was. They absolutely killed it. I remember getting off the train in Reading where I was at college at the time. With my rucksack on my back, instead of going straight home, I went to HMV and bought Rated R and Songs For The Deaf. I went home that morning, listened to those albums and drank gin. Fucking good times. Reading College was shit and a joke but my time there made me may friends, had naked fun with many a fine female, worked the festivals and saw Queens Of The Stone Age. I thank you.

cant get enough qotsa

What's funny is that Homme says "you know?" to everything which we don't know.

Josh's influence on music is amazing. I really like his take on doing what they want to do and not painting themselves in a corner trying to please the same audience.

Was just playing this for my girlfriend the other day; she had never heard this album from them. "Rated R" is their best album in my opinion.

This album was high school, graduation, and me wandering around working part time jobs before my 20s.

"come touch the weird" - Josh Homme

Better Living Through Chemistry blows my mind every time I hear it

im designer is a cousin of leg of lamb

This guy needs to interview Josh about all of his albums.

This interview is a go to cozy thing for me. It's been rough lately. The time to change is coming around again, and the preamble is always rough. Goodbye, old you. Meet the new you.

Rated R is the album that I played the most during my time in university. Got it the week it came out since I dug the 1st album and the new sound arrived as my mind was being bent on a daily basis with substances in a good way. It was just perfect for that time and I really played the hell out of it and turned on many many people to it and the band. So good. So so good.

Great band. Thank you for the music

Shouts to the interviewer for asking very thoughtful questions and even catching himself to rephrase a boring question. What a great 30 mins.

amazing interview....super cool to hear. Had the pleasure of meeting and actually opening for Kyuss more than once...Josh is pretty intimidating at first...he's big and looks like the classic school bully....but he's a bad ass dude...and some 20 years later he's still kicking ass. Thank you Josh for so much great music!!

I have watched this so many times

One of the best artist interviews I’ve ever heard. Kinda shows me that making something special is second to living a diverse filling life. Technique isn’t the only thing, no matter how good you are at playing, if you have feelings and thoughts worth conveying then you have something to give as an artist

Incredible album. Each track has a completely different feel and each turn is unpredictable; it's ridiculously dynamic.

When you download Rated R onto your PC it reads as Metal......I can understand the Metal ties with Kyuss , Queens Of The Stone Age can be more described as Psychedelic Metal, especially the first 3 albums......but Queens are a very broad band.......I alway's saw Kyuss and Queens as reintroducing early 70s proto-metal of Sabbath, Zep and The Stooges into the 90s / 00s. Its Classic Rock reinvented

I love all queens records and have since they first popped out the first one. More weird in the fucking diet of the world is lovely so is a great pop song.

One of those interviews I can listen to on repeat... checking my leveeels!

Their best album.

"Josh was just the guitar player" lol yeah, the best component of Kyuss

I picked up a copy of "Rated X" on vinyl as a double LP. Great record, but the second half with the live tracks are so much better in my opinion. Their first three albums get regular play while working on my paintings.

Great interview 😮

This is a really great interview, honest and intelligent.

I like hearing Dave talk about music.

The best rock band of modern times

This host is great, glad they came back for lullabies

This was so great. I wish there was one for every album.

Brilliant album, brilliant band

Great interview! The lost art of keeping a secret is a masterpiece!!!

"Quick and to the point-less" Dude's spontaneous quips are on another level

I love the pronunciation of his last name at the beginning there, "Josh Homie" lmao

way to bring up the declaration of independence in the UK, Josh. #toosoon

This Band is Amazing !!

Classic album... Never gets old.

His speaking voice is smooth as well. Jeez.

I still wear this album out.

One of my favorite Queens album, I keep going back to Headache

"I really wanted to sleep with his sister and she like... well... basically turned into a werewolf-alien and I was like 'Ayyeeewhatsuuurrrr?!' and you just, deal with it. You know?" Don't know about the rest of you, but I don't know. Although I'd love to!

Love blasting this album while I'm off-roading high AF 🤘

I think we can all thank Josh for reintroducing the world to Mark Lanegan. I may have never discovered, and quickly become obsessed with, some of the greatest songs the world has ever known. And Josh's music ain't bad either.

Josh Homme is a frontman's frontman.

I'm Designer is a cousin of Leg Of Lamb, ha! That's awesome. The former is my favorite song on Era Vulgaris.

Those first 3 queens albums changed my life and made me pick up a guitar

Rated R has got to be one of the BEST albums ever made!

what a great approach to leading a band

one of my favourite albums , just makes ya feel dirty every time you listen to it .

"Feel Good of the Summer" can really make you want to fucking get ripped and go crazy. They got a really good take on that one!

Great interviewer, I must say.

Thanks man, you just did me a big favor, I'm gonna go listen to this song over and over again now xD

The perfect title.

Josh seems to be in a way driven to open people up to diversity in music and I love that. I've always loved bands that are diverse and include many different sounds and styles within their albums and not being afraid to try new things. I think audiences now NEED to have diversity because the idea of diversity being bad is crazy. I've seen people bash albums for being "unfocused" when really they were just diverse. If you think diverse = bad you gotta open your ears more!

I think Rated R is the best album I have ever listened to. Changed my life!

one of the very, very few people I could listen to chat for half an hour straight josh is the bawwwwwwws

27:16- "Sadly, one of my skills has always been how to wield the knife."

In Times New Roman is so good it overtook Rated R as my fav queens album. Hi from 2023

The interview host is Zane Lowe who was an interviewer for XFM (Radio X) in England. He’s now a Creative Director/Interviewer Creative Director of the world-wide music station, Apple Music 1.

not into drugs but rated r was the coolest new record in my lifetime. i just learned to make rock myself which i always wanted to do besides extreme metal. and that record was just fuel in a time where i fired off my last liters of naivitey

8:45 Leg of Lamb is my favorite song on this album! Sooooo good!

God, so fucking honest, true....Their music just got better, didn't think that was possible....Blew my mind. Go Josh, go Queens

What's cool is that it was during the nu metal era and they were staples for the heavy metal circuit...what's interesting is that it wasn't like QOTSA or SFTD...it was still mysterious

Thanks a mill for the upload.

Time to go write.

"A popsong with weird slathered all over it like jelly" :)

Listening to the Days after Barbenheimer released in theaters feels serendipitous

Properly chuckling to those comments about the end of I Think I Lost My Headache.

its cool to hear josh talk about primus

I am now currently expecting bosom clutching!!!

Wish most people still had this opinion on censorship.

Interesting how he mentions Primus. Leg of Lamb sounds a lot like Wynona's Big Brown Beaver. I don't have a problem with that. Primus is interesting in how they experiment, and I like some of their stuff. I prefer QOTSA though. Rated R, Songs for the Deaf, and ... Like Clockwork are their best albums.

Cool style to this interview, Joshs voice clear and up front and others float in kind of distorted almost breaking up

Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy and Alcohollll

The vibes in the A-section of Lost Art are SO KILLER.

Whassssup!! Best band ever!!

well if it all goes to shiznit he can always dye his hair black and move to vegas and start up an elvis act

hey, just done a little digging. it was on the 7th of october 2007 on XFM london radio :)

This record is so beautiful!!! In the Fade is the first Queens song i ever heard. Leg of Lamb is probably my fave song on this record...its so fucking weird. Its neat hearing his thoughts on Oppenheimer.

such a great song

'no, I never expected any bosom clutching really.....' hahaha I love him.

1:53 WEEN XD

who'd wanna get like, a potato entree, with a potato salad, and a potato desert? lmfao potato dessert.... xD
