QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Name New Album

[MILLWALL]

QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE have set "Lullabies to Paralyze" as the title of their new album, tentatively due on March 22, 2005 via Interscope. "I know March may seem far off (to me anyway), but when the creative engine is chugging at full steam, it's hard to stop," guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen writes on the group's web site. "In other words, songs are still being recorded as we speak. We've just put the finishing touches on 'The Fun Machine Took A Shit & Died', which I think is a good title for a tune so strange. The session started out relatively normal, but then took a turn for the bizarre, once longtime friends Dean Ween, Chris Goss and Jesse 'The Devil' Hughes scarred this song with their musical branding irons."

The group's first album since the departure of bassist Nick Oliveri is expected to include additional guest appearances by ZZ TOP guitarist Billy F. Gibbons, GARBAGE frontwoman Shirley Manson and the DISTILLERS' Brody Dalle. ELEVEN's Alain Johannes is believed to be playing bass during the sessions. Other songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Don't Need a Name" and "The Fun Machine Took a Shit & Died".

It's getting more and more like a Desert Sessions...

i doubt it would be as good as songs for the deaf or rated R. josh seems to have developed a bit of an ego. nick should still be on bass. brody playing on this album was always going to happen aswell.

queens are great and i'll still buy it no matter what my opinion of josh homme is.

Mm. Still prefer my Kyuss over these guys.

If what Josh said about Nick was true, then he deserves not to be there.

And the first album was all Josh anyway.

What did he say?

 

[CliffyIsGod]

This is of the top of my head, but he basically said he spent to much time doing crack and trashing hotel rooms.

Apparently, when QotSA were in Perth on their OZ tour, Nick trashed as good three or four hotel rooms.

Man, I know they're into the drug culture, but that's a bit too much.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

I think that's what Josh thought, and Nick always went too far.

I think it involved a bit more than drunken shenanigans and trashing hotel rooms also. The guy seemed like a loose cannon, but was a great presence live, and on Songs For the Deaf. This has always, however, been Josh's work. He's the brains behond the album, so even though I'll miss Nick, I can't wait to hear this.
