Speaking of sex tapes I’d definitely watch, good samaritan Josh Homme and his Queens Of The Stone Age were recently recruited by an “unnamed Los Angeles drying out clinic” to provide “a light-hearted, intimate performance” for patients. And the clinic was delighted when the Queens accepted, at least up to the moment the band started playing, because apparently no one on staff had ever listened to their music or read a single interview with the mischievous Mr. Homme.
But a spokesman for the band informed NME.COM that when the band opened the show with classic ‘Feel Good Hit Of The Summer’, staff at the clinic were so unimpressed that they pulled the plugs and had security remove them straight away without negotiation.
The song’s lyrics famously run: “Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol… c-c-c-c-c-cocaine”.
Ironically, the song is used by the Colorado Police Department as the soundtrack to their instructional videos demonstrating the consequences of drink driving.
Well I know something that’s immediately going on my YouTube Christmas wishlist.
I would totally watch a Josh Homme sex tape even if it was strictly hetero (which of course it would be, except there’d probably be some satisfying weirdness around the edges), that’s how much of a hot motherfucker he is.
If this is a lie, it’s a fantastic one; if it’s the truth, holy jeez.
God, I love these guys. What moron at a rehab clinic thought booking these guys would be appropriate?
Hmm..this is almost too funny to be true.
yeah let’s pretend there’s also a “rumors spread by the band itself” tag on this one.
@jessdolator: Your boastful, passionate, whispering, masculine crush on Josh Homme is definitely one of the most endearing features of this blog.
Where’s the part where the retarded kid brings a penguin home from the aquarium in his knapsack?
[what's the punk/new-waver geezer voice -- over-articulated, vs. the young mumblers? anyway/how, in that voice, while rubbing aching knees and back . . .]
