They’re definitely sounding better than ever. So tight live. Surely time for a Glastonbury headline slot on the main stage!

Great to have Deano on an interview, underrated musician.

That Glastonbury performance was possibly the best gig I’ve ever attended. The sound on the other stage was phenomenal.

I'm happy of the many interviews that have been made to Josh this year including this one

great interview,Homme is a music legend,far beyond many.He's obviously matured,the new music is some of the best new music around.

Best comeback of the year! Best album of the year! Welcome back, Josh. Welcome back, guys🙌

These boys are gifts from heaven....their mutual understanding, the deep understanding of music. Just gifts...peace and health for them and all they love. Thank you. I really love your work...🙏

Qotsa will always be my life's soundtrack. I'm from Mexico and I just travelled to the UK to get Manchester and London gigs, just amazing! And I'm gonna travel Canada for the 4 Ontario dates lol I'm a big fan, keep rocking!

I saw them for the 6th time in Austin a few nights ago. As a guitar player I watch and listen to bands different than most I suppose but it's very evident they have harnessed a precision like no other. It was the best performance I've seen yet

We all love Queens of the Stone Age. Saw you at the 02 for the first time, having listened to you for 25 years, it was Amazing and one of the best nights of my life. Thank you for writing real and raw rock music for your fans. You’ve taken us on a musical journey with you as you say to help us escape! I’ve leant on your musical highs and lows and beautiful lyrics and they’ve helped me through. I want to thank you guys for what you do🎉❤

you're fkn right you haven't lost us, we are still here!!! I can't wait to see them TONIGHT!!! I have wanted to see them since the 90s!!! I am so fkn excited

QOTSA are beyond tremendous and Josh Homme the 🐐 for real.

i just have an endless fascination with Josh. something about his way of thinking and his songwriting just speak to me in an important way.

I was there at Glasto, I was there at the O2, I was there at the Royal Albert Hall and I will be there again and again and agaaaaain...great interview.

Just saw them in Dallas TX Dec 10 23, best concert I have ever been to. To sound better than the albums was amazing. Love how the band is in full stride, can't wait to see them again! As has been said by many prior band members and people who get true tallent, the best band to see live!

I saw them for the first time at the O2, the best gig I have ever been to

I very much appreciate QOTSA for making music to listen to 50+ times, every time. 🖤❤️🖤❤️I also appreciate Josh making weird faces at the camera while 🎶Fertita is talking.

Thank you Josh for the wisdom and things you’ve learned your sharing with us fans

Thanks! great interview and insights into the band - I love they says making records better and faster. Yes please! The scarfes bar is gorgeous!

Fertiiiiiitaaaaa

Love this interview NME! Great interview!

man, getting a slice of fucking dean, the Detroit multi-instrumentalist hero.soooowheee. plus josh is looking great

Dean is my cousin 🙂

Excellent interview -- great perspective and honesty from Josh and Dean. Thanks for sharing.

Noted. When I see them again I will be holding up a sign that says *Play Turnin on the Screw*

I love that you asked abt the possibility of a 2nd Post Pop Depression That album made me check out Queens of the Stone Age

Get to see them in a few months. Looking forward to it. 👍🏼

❤the history and stuff to see in London and Europe in general is so cool

Josh is more than a song writer. He’s a poet! Love his take on life and writing. Also love his romance with Dave. It’s produced some great music.

I just saw them two nights in a row in Texas. Better than ever before

Went to first QOTSA gig last week - simply amazing.

Just saw them in LA - amazing ❤

Very good interview

I saw them live in Dublin last month. They sound incredible!

Love this guy. Absolutely LOVE the Queens 🤘🏻🔥🐍🎸

Their last album is absolute brilliance❤❤❤❤❤❤

Manchester was amazing, absolutely top of their game at the moment...

Perfect light!

💯 playing better than ever! Portland, Oregon Oct.23 & Albuquerque, NM 12/12/23

That’s so interesting that Josh says that at the beginning.. I totally thought they were a British band when I first heard and saw “lost art of keeping a secret”

Phenomenal musician!

Definitely still with them! Aint goin nowhere!

Saw them in Houston last weekend! Literally 1-1/2 hours of bangers! Best show ive seen all year!

All i know is, Josh Homme rocks the contemporary world!!

I've always thought of Josh as music's version of Sideshow Bob. A silhouetted jester singing and speaking soliloquy in a traveling circus.

Fuck I love QOSTA, thanks for this sit down NME!

Arguably the best rock band post Nirvana

Songs for the deaf 2 please per rabid queens fan. Honestly the album before that accentuated my brain’s private parts more than the former. I wish for the weird and beautifulness that one creates when sitting alone drunk with an instrument. I watched a video recently of Troy for some looper pedal demo and I can’t understand for the life of me why that wasnt worked up as a queens song. Fuck it’s is as if he were auditioning for a queens spot from the get go.beautiful. Love you all I am a rando from Mississippi but I have fried many brain cells listening to you guys and I want to express my love and connection to you. Your music has been the soundtrack to my life whether the folks around me got it or not. Thank you all. Don’t fade out just yet.

Anyone else think Joshua sounds like smart butthead from the new beavis and butthead. Love his accent.

Great interview. Not gonna lie, was kinda hoping to hear about TCV.

josh is aging well.

The spontaneous outbreak of singing Dean Fertita's name like a drug ad!😂😂😂 THIS is why I love this guy. He is my favorite side piece. ( Dave being my main man) Everyone else's conversations are linear, not my ginger lover, 😍😍🥰his conversation, his answers are topical but often don't follow any logic any of us can understand. Wiggling DOES feel fucking awesome, and more to Queens music. Who else in rock has a frikking gold tooth??? Such a beautiful cacophonous mash up of a man.

I think Dean would enjoy mudlarking on the Thames! He basically used it as a metaphor. ✨💍

Ughhhh why doesn’t anybody ever ask about another TCV album??! 😭

Loved the healthy people lying on a hospital bed dying of nothing comment

Bill Hader is in Queens now

My favourite thing about Queens is how every new album is better than every other one before it. I see/hear arguments about how this or that new song compares to SFTD. OK, cool, SFTD was amazing, I still love the hell out of it. But if you want to hear them play a song that sounds like its off that album, then take out your cd or go to your itunes playlist or whatever and play that album. Me, I wanna hear something new. THAT is what makes QOTSA so fucking special. Every new album, they reinvent themselves, they explore new directions and ideas, but somehow, you only need to listen for about 5 seconds to know it's them. They can simultaneously remain pure to who they are whilst also becoming something brand new. Every time a new Queens album comes out, it becomes my favourite, for that one simple reason. Add to that, when they play live, they always change the songs so that most of them sound nothing like the album. Fast and aggressive songs get played slow and gentle, ballads get played at high speed and volume, everything gets changed up and switched around, and it is f***ing wonderful. If I wanted to hear a band play their greatest hits that sound just like the albums, I'd go and listen to the Rolling Stones or Oasis or some other dull singalong s***. Queens are a whole other world, and that is exactly what is so damned great about them. May they never stop changing.

Brefkiss 😌

oh, he dropped the wizard mustache

Where's Mikey Shoessszzz 👞

I wish they would visit Asian country more often 😢

Josh is fluent in metaphors.

Holy cow that's a lot of timestamps on a 20min video

"fertitaaaaaa"

🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

Where in London are they exactly?

I was hoping they would ask Josh about the new ink on his hand, but I guess that's not really a music question.

Easily the best band rn

I miss the older stuff; they are a different band.

I hope he's okay.... I can't tell if he looks really lean and healthy or really lean and unhealthy 😅 Saw them at the O2 and the band were incredibly tight. Here's for many years more hopefully! 🫶💪

F#@k Yeah

Josh is looking great, so clean, I know he keeps drinking because he said at The O2 that he was a "bit tipsy" lol but I'm sure he's not into drugs anymore (?

Josh Bowie

homme's lookin' trim!

I'm up for a puppies and ponies that swim album from Queens. I just can't enjoy the latest record and it's subject matter

I don't know if i can call it hard times. If you can't feed your self... maybe then. Maybe.

Should’ve just named the album “In Jesuit Order Times”.

Josh, you always seem laid back and cool with a touch of irreverence. Plus we’re both the same age. Can we be best friends and stuff?

🤌✨🖤🤍

He's obviously intelligent but I kinda feared that I was gonna hate josh's political thoughts until "..Your free to check these two box's, sounds like a classic minipulation .." ...I think we are on the same page..I'd still dig the music one way or the other.

Josh looks like he's barely aged for 20 years

it’s just got to e so real, EVER HEARD OF SINGING FROM THE 3rd person!!!!! Are the butthole surfers real? the melvins? godheadSilo? tunnel of love? flamin groovies, crime?

Permission to wiggle ❤

The rat story is from fSt and the furious PII so what the f is up with that?

I want a rock.

Born in your mouth 🤪 Bournemouth fans know

They have the best drummer and dont realize it. Theodore is a beast, tremendous talent wasted playing boring songs for kids. What the guy did for The Mars Volta proves it. Mindblowing stuff back then.

poo poo pee pee

I like the band but Josh seems like he’s all about himself. I hope his now ex wife is happy with her new guy

Not the greatest interviewer

Music industry is dead

What’s up w the stupid looking earring? Is in 1986 now?

Just a practical question, is Josh done kicking people in the head and threatening them? You see it’s because he’s done that multiple times. I wonder if he personally apologized to those people?
