Is it just me or does calling out crowd members seem like Josh's 'bad ass thing' ever since Nick left...

Throwing **** isn't cool, but it he seems to call someone out in pretty much every live show heard or read of in the last couple of years.

It's true. I've seen him twice since Nick left the band, and both times he's started picking on someone in the front who he accuses of something and then starts with the name-calling. Must be a lot of fun to play in that band.

That's what happens to bands that SUCK!

Not cool to throw things..
but he could have been more professional and not be a douche bag about it.. It's just a kid!
the name calling was not necessary.... one "your a moron!" would have done it.

I'm not paying another dime towards anything QOTSA related.

I didn't buy Era Vulgaris, or whatever it's called, I downloaded it for free. Also I haven't seen QOTSA in concert since October 2005.

disclaimer: I will only pay for something QOTSA-related if Nick is/was involved. Nick is a genuine, down to earth guy, and he's not full of himself. He does what he does for the music.

Yea, but what if they have a really good CD that doesn't have Nick? Would you pay for that?

jason s · Administrator

I don't think that's going to happen. The last two have kind of sucked. Especially LTP.

Wired Ape · Simple Exploding..Human

Yea, but this is a what if game :P

I don't want to give Josh Homme another dime of my money is the moral of the story. I will buy Eagles of Death Metal stuff, but only because I want to support what Dave and Gene are doing.

Sorry bro, never gonna happen.

i cant believe how everyone kicked up a massive stink about this one.
hes done it before.
he went into damage control pretty swiftly though.

Mike · Like An A-Bomb

Maby you're right. Sometimes musicians does such stuff. For example Danzig.
Anyway I still buy records of Qotsa records cause they are my fav band for almost 10 years.

I'm not really concerned about what he did, just that it seems to have become his lame gimmick.

elchicano · Simple Exploding..Human

I don't care about what he did either. I met him once. He's a prick. But, so what? So am I. I don't expect all the musicians I listen to to be warm and cuddly. They're real people. His homophobic rant was pathetic, though. He continues to ape Danzig, but that doesn't disguise the fact that his music is lame without Nick.

DonDFA1972 · Simple Exploding..Human

Indeed... The QOTSA have lost that raw feel that Nick brought to the table.

I will admit ... I have walked out of the last 2 Queens shows.. not impressed either

and there are WAY WAY too many Jocks that Just want to hear... "Play little sister.. ... yea... little sister!!"

No offense ladies.. cause I know a lot of my female friends love that song... but definitely not their best.
