Pullin’ ‘Tubes: Queens Of The Stone Age Return

Over the last few months there has been tons of chatter, rumors and speculation surrounding the details of the Queens Of The Stone Age’s new studio album. For their first new set of material since 2007’s Era Vulgaris, the stoner-rock-act have gone indie moving from Interscope to Matador Records, and confirmed that their sixth record will be called …Like Clockwork and will be released this June. Those are not quite the details that have been getting buzz around the internet though, it’s been more about just who joined front-man Josh Homme in the studio this time around, with the list of contributors extending beyond Homme’s circle of rock-star friends. There are the “usual suspects” like Dave Grohl, who stepped behind the kit for the band’s 2002 break-out record Songs for the Deaf, plus former QOTSA members Mark Lanengan and Alain Johannes, as well as bassist Nick Oliveri – who was fired from the band back in 2004.

The album will also feature more QOTSA family members with Brody Dalle, who played on the Eagles of Death Metal’s record, and Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys (Homme produced their 2009 release Humbug). If that wasn’t enough, Trent Reznor, Jake Shears (Sister Sisters), Jon Theodore (Mars Volta) and the easily the most unexpected name on the list – Sir Elton John – will also make appearances on the album. Over the weekend the Queens Of The Stone Age played their first live gig since 2011 at Lollapalooza Brazil, and offered up their first taste of what’s to come by debuting the new track My God Is The Sun. Let’s check it out…
