MCA Music, Inc.Queens of the Stone Age (QotSA or simply Queens) are a rock band from Palm Desert, California, United States, formed in 1997.Homme described as 'robot rock', saying that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head".The band is frequently described as stoner rock, although they reject the term.We want sex to bleed into the music.At our shows, we want to see half boys and half girls in a utopian world, dancing and drinking.Their sound has since evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.Discography

7.Queens of the Stone Age began with Josh Homme in 1996.When we were making a record in 1992, under the band Kyuss, our producer Chris Goss, he would joke and say "You guys are like the Queens of the Stone Age."The band was originally called Gamma Ray, but we got threatened with a lawsuit because someone else had it.So we were Queens of the Stone Age.The Queens of the Stone Age hang out with the Kings of the Stone Age's girlfriends when they wrestle, and also it was a name given to us by Chris Goss.He gave us the name Queens of the Stone Age.Rock should be heavy enough for the boys and sweet enough for the girls.That way everyone's happy and it's more of a party.Kings of the Stone Age is too lopsided.Oliveri stating his decision to join the band can be heard at the end of the album's final song, "I Was a Teenage Hand Model".This short section requires expansion.Rated R featured a plethora of musicians familiar with Homme and Oliveri's work and "crew" of sorts: among others, drummers Nick Lucero and Gene Trautmann, guitarists Dave Catching, Brendon McNichol, and Chris Goss contributed, and even Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, recording next door, stepped in for a guest spot on "Feel Good Hit of the Summer".The album received positive reviews but found little commercial success, aside from scoring the band notable opening slots with the Foo Fighters, Hole, and at Ozzfest 2000.Towards the end of the Rated R tour, the band's performance at the 2001 Rock am Ring festival in Germany was, according to Homme, "the worst show we've ever played and it was in front of 40,000 people."Hutch, our soundman, have the same tattoo, it's from Rock am Ring festival.The time we had to play was 4.It sucked, it was horrible.That's why I tattooed it on my ribs, where it would hurt, so I'd never forget.Songs for the Deaf was released in August, featuring former Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan, a floater since Rated R, as well as adding former A Perfect Circle guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen to the touring line up following the album's release.Although Songs for the Deaf gained major attention, Grohl returned to his other projects and was replaced on the European leg of the album's supporting tour by former Danzig drummer Joey Castillo, who joined the band full time.Homme said, "A couple years ago, I spoke to Nick about a rumor I heard.Oliveri countered in the press that the band had been "poisoned by hunger for power" and that the band without him was "Queens Lite;" later Oliveri softened his opinion and said, "My relationship with Josh is good.As of October 2006, Oliveri remains interested in rejoining the band.Lullabies to Paralyze and the supporting tour.The release featured the appearance of several guests, most notably ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons.Well, Mark got fired, Lanegan, you know.But he was just touring his own solo record, you know.Lullabies to Paralyze was leaked onto the internet in February 2005, and then officially released on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 in the USA, debuting in the number 5 slot on the Billboard Music Chart, the greatest initial success of any Queens record to date.On May 14, 2005, the group was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, hosted by Will Ferrell.Frenkle played the song's wood block part using a cowbell along with the band, drawing much applause.DVD set called Over the Years and Through the Woods, featuring a live concert filmed in London, England, and bonus features which included rare videos of songs from 1998 to 2005.Another onstage guest for the December 20 performance was Homme's former Kyuss bandmate John Garcia, the first time that Homme and Garcia had played together since 1997.Former Death from Above 1979 bassist Jesse F.Homme has described the record as "dark, hard, and electrical, sort of like a construction worker".Bassist Michael Shuman (Wires On Fire) and keyboardist Dean Fertita (The Waxwings, The Raconteurs) took over touring duties from Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider respectively.It was since reported however that the EP would not be released due to the record label's unwillingness to put out another QOTSA release at this time.The band begun a North American Tour in 2007 which they named the "Duluth Tour" due to the fact that the band are going to many small towns and cities they've never played before, such as Duluth, Minnesota.The tour has since been extended to other countries, such as the United Kingdom, where they are playing more dates there than any tour previously.Wireless Festival in London.That way we
