No idea who that guy is, but he swears a lot, so that makes him ok by me.

He's got a fever...and the only cure is throwing shit at a restrained 12 yr old from six feet above him.
We need more of these types of heroes on the frontlines
- His refusal to put up with shit from a teenage cuntbox elevates his stature in my eyes.blaw

It's Josh Homme (no "s"), and he's a musical genius in my opinion.

The first rock show I took my boy to was QotSA. Excellent set.

- yup, true statementJaline

haha I love it. On their live album he goes off on a guy who throwing crap at him. He has the spotlight shone on the guy and calls him a cocksmoker.

i've got no problem with having someone thrown out for being an asshole, but the whole "i'm gonna fuck you in front of your friends" thing is a little stupid. This guy ain't gonna touch anyone, whether they're 12 or 42. He's just blowing smoke up the audiences ass to make himself look and feel like a badass
- Or he has a low tolerance for craven idiots assaulting him from afar.dog_opus
- Not sure about that..Josh is crazy dude.dirtydesign
- Yup. He effed Blag Dahlia.dog_opus

QOTSA just did a show in some abandoned German mine. Saw it posted on the site couple weeks ago. Looked amazing.

I don't get it myself. I don't like him and I don't like anything he's done since Kyuss. But I'm old.

Let's do a study about Josh Homme, shall we.
Birth Name
Joshua Michael HommeNickname
Carlo von Sexron
J Ho
Baby Duck
The King of Desert RockHeight
6' 5" (1.96 m)In spite of his often fierce music, Homme has gained a reputation as one of the "nice guys" of hard rock (like his friend David Grohl), due the encouraging atmosphere he creates for musicians he collaborates with and his pleasant, self-effacing public persona.
In 2004, mysteriously fired long-time musical-partner 'Nick Oliveri' from Queens of the Stone Age, making him the sole remaining front man of the constantly changing "group".
Update: Fired Nick Oliveri in 2004 when he was convinced that Oliveri had been physically abusive to his girlfriend.
--------------------------------...
Josh Homme has responded to allegations that he is homophobic.
The Queens Of The Stone Age frontman was criticised for using the word "f****t" in a rant at an audience member who threw a shoe at him on stage.
While performing at a festival in Norway, Homme called the festival-goer a "chicken s**t f***ing f****t".
In an open letter, Homme criticised the media response to his comments, insisting that he didn't mean to cause offence with his remarks.
It reads: "Some journalists and citizens on the internet are wondering: Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other 'acceptable' curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day?
"Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, know I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level and red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild.
"You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do!"
He added: "I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more s**t than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury.
"Homophobic? I'm in Queens Of The Stone Age for crissake..."

The band's dedication to the use of original concert posters for shows is very cool, as well.
