Purchase options and add-ons

This updated edition of the first ever book about Queens Of The Stone Age takes in nine years of chaos. Since the first edition appeared in 2005, Josh Homme's band has undergone multiple line-up changes, toured the world and released two acclaimed albums. They have taken on a new version of Homme's old band Kyuss in court and helped to spawn multiple projects such as Them Crooked Vultures and a supergroup featuring Homme, Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl and Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones. Along the way there have been death, near-death and physical confrontations of all kinds, with Homme's near-fatal asphyxiation during a knee operation in 2010 almost ending the band.

    Love the new addition 👍🏻
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 March 2016
    Some solid information about Kyuss, Queens and the Desert Sessions, as well as drip-feeding you Homme's various other projects. But while the book is great, it repeats the same information far too often and feels like it's there to pad the book out. Well worth a read though.

    Fab!
  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 March 2022
    I agree with some of the other comments, that the read is repetitive and don’t feel the need for in-depth song analysis on the albums. If you’re a fan , chances are you’ve heard the songs already!
    Picks up a bit when Dave Grohl assists on SFTD but other than that I found a lack of band stories (just lots of quotes that make Josh and Nick sound more like members of Spinal Tap!) and in general quite a hard going boring read.

    Cool

    The author just dug through old interviews for this book and the language he uses to string them together is monotonous and lacks thought. I've read better authored fan fiction.

  • Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2017
    I been a fan since Kyuss, the Kyuss stuff is a good read as little is known about them. However the QOTSA is drawn out. Not very in depth and little on the road stories. Gets fluffy around why Nick O got fired. This is not written well. Most of it is a run down of how the songs on each album sound like? If we have listened to the music we probably already know that.
    If you like a warts and all book with lots of outrageous anecdotes about rock roll mis-advantage, stop after the Kyuss part. One of the most boring band biographies I have read and I have read a lot.

    I haven't got to get too deep in to it but I love the in-depth history. QOTSA is my fav.

    The good: told the QOTSA story in detail.
