News: Queens Of The Stone Age
Josh Homme Is Never Too Sick To Fight
Josh Homme, one of our favorite living rock stars, flipped the fuck out on a kid who threw a bottle at the Norwegian Wood festival Queens Of The Stone Age played last weekend. And it all got caught on tape.
“Do me one favor, though. Don’t throw any shit at me. You throw something at me, I’m not so sick that I can’t go down there and beat the fucking shit out of you, you know what I’m saying? I may have a fucking 102° temperature and been puking for three days, but I’ll still butt-fuck you in front of all your friends. [Spots the culprit in the crowd] Hey, you, right there… Hey, you, with the fucking hat on! Hey, pussy! Turn around, you fucking pussy with the black hair! Turn the fuck around, you chickenshit fucking faggot! Hey, you- you fucking pussy motherfucker! I will fuck you up! C’mon up here! C’mon up here, you fucking little faggot! You know what?! Get your fucking ass up here! You’re so stupid you’ll come up here. Lift him up so that I can kick him in the fucking face. [Throws something at the kid] Invisible fucking cunt. Go back to your mom’s house, you 12-year-old dickless fucking turd! And his friends, you wanna throw something too or are you all cool? You’re all good? You know this dickless fucking turd has no friends anyway, man. I came here for the rest of you- not for this asshole.”
that’s what that kid gets for trying to be a tough ass, stupid fucker.
haha
I have a new title for Homme.
“Red Headed Elvis”
Use at your leisure
~D
Holy shit…where can I get the rest of the video from the concert? It’s great quality.
Homme would out drug, out drink and kick the shit out of Elvis. Get it straight Crowboy.
What a shitbag. Shut up and play the guitar.
Getting bottles and shit thrown at you is par for the course if you’re in a rock band. Take it in stride you self-important bastard.
If i was at the concert, while he was buttfucking that kid, i’d suprise him and buttfuck him in front of his friends! Then who’d be laughing.
Fuck yeah! Don’t mess with the guy with the microphone! Josh Homme fucking RULES!
How old was that kid? Haha I would have shit my pants if Josh Homme was about to kick my ass.
Josh Homme is a douchebag. I will throw a bottle at him next time I see him. I dare him to step to me like that.
Axl Rose part 2, wouldn’ it be cool if those two meet each other? that’ll the some Celebrity Death Match right there.
wow… that kid is 5 times younger and lighter… at least it’s a fair fight on the maturity level.
If that was the right person then absolutely get ‘em outta there BUT that’s pretty eagled eyed to spot the tosser amongst the herd…super-human fever vision perhaps?!
Performers are not targets and it was wrong for that little guy to throw stuff/bottles/ whatever at the stage.If thats really what happened He should have been ejected, no question. That rant was a total buzzkill, what a jerk.
Josh went waaaay too far and handled that very badly. For somebody who was “so sick” he was able to devote mega hate energy to his prissy cause. Now I know why he is able to sing in such a pretty way…he’s a big bitch.
Homme does this at pretty much every show. I saw it myself at a concert in Australia two months ago – and I know he did it at other shows on the tour. Same situation, same threats, singled the guy out, etc etc etc. It’s just part of the shtick.
I used to like qotsa until this douchebag tries to beat up a 12 year old. I’m 6’2 250 and I’ll see if he wants to fuck with me. I’ll give him my address.
fuck Him and His shittty fucking Band. I’d hit him with a crowbar. He spits on the guy. Big microphone man with 102 temperature. AHHHHHHH, never had to go to work sick you scumbag.coward piece of shit guitarist. I’ll kick you whole bands ass with pneumonia!!!!!
Fucking dick Bonesmuggler himself!!!!!!
you mean HommeSlice!
Josh Homme is a complete loser. I have NEVER heard of him. Calling someone a faggot is the worst thing he can come up with!? Very offensive! I will never listen to him. Had I even heard of him.
I used to like them, I have teenage boys and if he were to fuck with my boys I’d take a gun to him and kill him myself. Leave kids alone asshole you’ll end out like Michael Jackson.
he such a bitch this guy is so lame he need to get the fuck off stage so someone canr play fuck him het stinks so faggy
Dude, it’s 2008. Using homophobic smear words is so uneducated. Let’s grow up.
I like their music but this was totally not handled well. He can probably blame this guy for allegedly doing this. But man he has to have an incredible eye to have noticed he threw it. He didn’t even ask him if he did it. What a coward. Microphone on, insulting a supposedly turd. I thought Homme was more civilized. Next time I see him I’ll shit on his guitar.
wow I’m impressed at everyone being so smart and all, about how things like this should be “handled”..
first off.. from what I’ve heard.. the band got food-poisoned and were even told by the doctors not to do the fucking show.. they did it anyway.. but I suspect it wasn’t for some under-aged brainless drunk fuck to throw shit at them.. I mean.. if you were in their place – would you take it kindly and just giggle at it?.. sure you would..
and second.. all of you who got “shocked” and “offended” by what Josh “did”.. well it’s nice to be a wise-ass behind the fuckin computer and trying to sound smart as in like “oh he definately should or shouldn’t have handled it like this or that”… I assume you were NEVER in a fucking band, playing shows on stage.. well guess what – yeah sure sometimes it’s “part of the fucking job” – but it doesn’t mean that you’re always just gonna stand there, doing nothing about it while bunch of drunk fucks throw shit at you.. I mean you get on stage TO PLAY not to be thrown at.. and vice versa.. you get a fucking concert ticket to go and LISTEN to the band.. cause if you buy a ticket to go throw shit at them you must be dumb as fuck, to say the least..
anyone out there bitching how Josh acted real immature (while I’ll admit he didn’t neccesarily have to use the “faggot” word, but on the other hand – when was rock’n'roll ever considered to be fucking politically correct anyway?) I’m sure you are all such righteous, reasonable, mature human beings who would never mind getting randomly kicked in the nuts by people walking pass you while you’re on your way to the grocery store, huh?…
yeah i’m with jay more or less. what kinda pussy just stands there and takes a beating because it’s “part of the job?”
what was he supposed to do, take it, keep his mouth shut, and then walk off the stage beaten like those sissies in nickelback did? or do you make a fucking example out of the one guy in every crowd dumb enough to fuck with the big man. sure, the kid was like 15, but that’s probably why he didn’t actually lose any teeth.
pretty sure that was fantastic.
there’s a reason i love him.
he did something similar to someone who threw a shoe at him on 24 Macrh 08 in Christchurch.
he’s such an ass, but it’s oh so sexy.
nice to hear from a woman who still digs men.
Jay26 and Skwerl-you seem comfortable watching a bully in action . What’s up with that? Do you like to stand around and watch a fight?? Good for you…maybe you should enlist. catheec should just become a human urinal and get it overwith.
It made me uneasy and seemd excessive. That kid was tiny . If the fans up front were big and mean ass men, Josh wouldnt have said shit..he would have Nickelback’ed it. Real men dont do shit like that.
I have been in bands for 25yrs . I know plenty about show biz and have played over 1000 paying gigs so sniff my seat , I know the score. That was wrong.
He didnt look hurt to me . Whatever happened offstge before th show is irrelevant , thats no excuse. Bringing it onstage is a prima donna move….nobody cares and we pay to be entertained , and escape . If this type of display makes you cheer, then I think you have issues.If you want to defend this homophobic retard, go ahead, you deserve each other. I am not into this jock aggro prima donna style . Like I said he’s a big bitch…real bad asses never do shit like that. He has been around reedy little artists his whole life and is used to using his size to cow people. If you cant see that , thers no hope for you.
Bily Bob – you seem comfortable having shit thrown at you while you’re on stage playing gigs?.. what’s up with that? or are you just one of those people who like to say one thing (when it comes to being judgmental to other people’s actions), while otherwise you would act the same way?..
And I don’t know what you mean by “knowing the score”.. so is it “right” if every once in a while at random concerts there just has to be this one (or couple of) prick who has to ruin the show for others (yes, others who’ve PAID to be ENTERTAINED – they did NOT pay for shows being interrupted cause of objects being thrown on stage or getting kicked/beaten by random drunk maniacs in the crowd etc.)?? Aren’t we talking double standards here?? You feel “sorry” for that spoiled brat who got kicked-out, but not for the other 30,000 who came there just to enjoy the show, listen to music and have a good time?.. fine..
also.. you should know – it’s not so much of being a prima donna as it is the fact that artists (at a live show) have or SHOULD have a certain amount of responsibility – for people in the crowd and people on stage.. I mean – if you were in the middle of the song, playing and you saw your bass-player getting knocked the fuck out with a shoe landing in his forehead.. would you just continue to play and ENTERTAIN?? would you not be pissed off? How bout if it hit you in the head and knock your tooth out?? right.. you wouldn’t want to be a “big bitch” beacuse you’re a “real bad ass” so you’d probably just stand there, keep on playing, smilling, until the next unidentified flying object comes crashing in… (btw – even if you say “yes” I know you’d be full of it..)
And it’s great that you show your sensitive side and are against violence and all.. (so am I).. but I don’t get it.. why are you so disturbed if he shouted a little at that kid?? I mean.. I didn’t see a fight, just some “verbal bullying” (which might have been a bit excessive, but still you should take into consideration events that occured before the show..otherwise we’re again talking bout double standards)..
also I’m not sure if you even get what went on at the show: he was just ranting that people should STOP throwing shit on stage..and at the same time this “wannabe bad-ass” little punk threw something at them..and he just happened to caught him – that’s way he got like “uber-pissed” at the kid.. that’s all.. I’m not defending him – I’m just being objective and try to look at things from BOTH sides of perspective (not just the usual “normal fan” vs “rock’n'roll star” point of view).. If you can’t see that, then there’s no hope for you..
ps: (not sure if links are allowed – if not please remove it and I am sorry) but just for you, Bily Bob, to show you’re a bit off with your judgments – here’s Josh NOT Nickelbacking and confronting some “big and mean ass men”:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=F-jk9xsUrHw
well billy bob, your band probably sucks. (thornton?) excessive? all josh really did was call the brat some names. if it was a bigger dude, i’d bet (and hope) josh’d react more appropriately, and physically. that’s a real rock band and they don’t fuck around. even troy (the guitarist) has kicked a few heads in. this kid (who is probably the coolest kid in his school now) threw a bottle at a dude who could quite easily kick his ass, and he got called a turd for it. boo hoo. i don’t know where you’re from, but if, when i was that kid’s age, i walked into a bar, and threw a bottle at an adult, i’d have gotten get beat the fuck down immediately. he got off easy.
links are welcome. thanks jay.
You guys really should enlist . Your lack of critical thinking and comfort with violent outbursts indicates you would be a great fit for the military.
Jay26- you contadict yourself . You say youre not defending him , when you actually are. you are clearly excited by violence-maybe you are used to it from endless gaming and television. BTW, nobody got “knocked the f— out” nobody lost a tooth, some big bitch brought attention to a little boy misbehaving at a rock show. I would guess that most of the people there were brought down by the obvious energy shift. You went far afield there Jay….same topic?
Im not a “real bad ass”…but I have had coins thrown at me once, and yeah, I was pissy about it. But I said nothing..The show went on and I didint find out where they were coming from….probably from some chicken shit like you who seems to enjoy this dumb stuff.
Skwerl-I am sorry for the beatings you recieved but get some counselling. MOst people are not cool with threats like that, perhaps that is commonplace at your house when your dad’s drinking. Most of us are loved and recoil at such nonsense. But my band probably sucks(ha-ha)…..Im a hired gun-I play with many,many different artists. Can you do that? I try and create. What do you have to offer? “Josh is cool”??? Right on ,kid.
Your efforts at minimising and accepting this indicate you accept such antics. The cool artstiic,successful family oriented people I hang with would tend to disagree with your meathead analysis.
I know who I would rather hang with…
And also…I have a passport and travel to different countries playing guitar. My dad was in the military, we had guns, and I know how hard it is to hit a moving target with a pistol. I took martial arts, and can handle myself.
How about you? What do you bring to the party, friend? CRack?
haha… christ.
you definitely don’t know my dad. he was an altar boy. noone beat me.
me, i’ve played everything from acoustic folk to crust punk. i create my ass off. i made this site. yes, i accept such antics. i get a kick out of them. i want my rock stars to be tough motherfuckers who don’t take any shit. that’s the job description. i wouldn’t want to see this behavior from a concierge at a hotel, or a taxi driver (though i’m usually out of luck in the latter scenario).
i am not only cool, artistic, and very successful, but i am family oriented as well. and i bet we’d get along if we were to hang out because when it comes down to it, i’m a level headed guy and i have to believe you are too. we just disagree on this particular issue.
Ok, Billy Bob, I contradict myself (there I said it..if it makes you feel better..I couldn’t care less actually, but hey I’m in a good mood..)
Now where should I even begin with what you’re saying that doesn’t make any sense at all (= contradicts itself)?.. hmm..
About being comfort with violent outbursts?? answer this – what do you consider “more” violent: a physical object being thrown at somebody? or a few harsh words (oh yeah, multiply by X if they are spoken through a mic) being yelled at somebody?? no wait, don’t answer that..
Excited by violence?? No, did I say I was excited by that punk throwing stuff on stage?.. oh shit, I forgot.. loud yelling through a mic is nowadays considered “violence”.. well, I feel glad for you, living in your dream-happy land of yours.. enjoy your stay.. (while it lasts)
Also I wasn’t saying those things happened at that show (knocked-out; lost tooth etc.) – I was asking what would you do if it DID happen on one of YOUR concerts?.. would you not react to it in some sort? Of course not – you are not the violent type (although you know how to shot a gun and you took martial arts…let’s just leave it at that)
You see.. you base your opinion about other’s actions by what you would do, or did do.. (or in your specific case – didn’t do).. just beacuse you didn’t say nothing (but ok, that’s usually the frontman’s “job”) or you didn’t see WHO threw those coins at you, you think now others must act exactly like you did as well?.. sheesh, don’t be so hard on yourself.. I know it’s not pleasant beating your mind up over and over again thinking “why can he do it and I can’t?!”, but still..
Oh and..yup, you got me.. it was me, the little chicken shit, who threw those coins at you.. afterall – didn’t you see me write 2 posts about how I admire that other little chicken shit who threw something at Josh.. yup.. no contradictions here.. (your abillities of rational and logical thinking amazes me more and more..)
While I won’t say your band (or you for that matter) sucks, because I don’t know you, I still don’t get it how you, as a PERFORMER, can justify or approve of that kid’s behaviour (or if it was anybody else), feeling so sorry for him (well maybe he was a kid from one of your “cool artstiic,successful family oriented people” you hang out with – which would also probably explain his behaviour..), while spilling shit all over a fellow artist/performer who (given the circumstances) kinda just did what most of us would (excluding the hypocrits who say otherwise)? ..or maybe this goes deeper.. you being a “hired gun” and all.. did you auditioned for them (QOTSA) and didn’t get in?.. no need to be bitter about it, as I’m sure you’ll have your chance soon again (round the time the next album comes out..or the following.. or the following.. etc.)
ps: thanks for letting us know you have a PASSPORT – now I see you in a whole different light.. I guess.. hmm
shutup and wash my car , fucko.
“Why so serious?”
Josh Homme is the shit.
Wow he sure is one tough motherfucker. Throwing a plastic bottle like that and all.
What a miserable fuckin’ asshole. Shut the fuck up and play like you’re paid to.
Total bully jeck off. This guy is a joke. I’ll fuck that pederist homophobic asshole in his over paid jive ass mouth.I hope that kids kills him.Peace.
gnrdaily.com is stealing stuff from this site and posting it on their website.
you need to send the FBI over to see them.
This is fundamental shit like “eye for an eye” and shit… Come on he called the cock-smoker by his name – the looser deserved to get pointed out like that. Nobody throws shit at anybody…
he could have handled it differently and definitely better. this was the worst way to handle this.I ve read something like “i want my rockstars to be tough motherfuckers who take no shit” but wtf its a fuckin kid!! this is bully action and anyone who is ok with this has issues. I mean i can imagine a 1000 things to say and make him feel stupid for doing this but not swearing like a jerk. I cant understand how people watch this and say he is cool. Thats the problem with usa.
Exactly , it is a grade 8 looking kid…a total blown opportunity…? That could have been some funny shit , but Josh is a friggen dink. But some of the knobs on this site like their rockstars bully tough.
EVERYONE THROW SHOES
I encourage everyone to throw a shoe in sympathy to the guy who went to a public humiliation without a trial.
the most scary thing to see is how he is forced towards the stage. literally anything could have happened there. it is not security to pull the guy towards a mad Josh Homme, it is putting the kid in a very dangerous situation.
I act so upset because images of the Akon-incident (threw a fan into the crowd- a 60-80kg person with the addition of weight from the speed of the fall)
rockstars just act like they have to claim themselves nowadays. maybe because people don’t give shit for their craft anymore:
we want them for free.
Hahaha!! This is fucking hilarious! Axl never went that far…to like personally throw something at the guy!!
I love Axl……
this was funny!
Who the fuck is josh homme anyways?!
Why are people crying about his reaction? I’d be pissed too if people were throwing shit at me. Why even go to a show, and spend money, if you’re just gonna disrespect the band?
On top of that, do you guys who are complaining about Josh Homme’s reaction remember what it’s like to have a 102 fever? Generally you aren’t exactly in a good mood, everything hurts, and then you’re expected to still be able to sing while phlegm is running down the back of your throat, and your head is pounding. No, wait, you’re expected to sing with all that, WHILE some dipshit is throwing shit up at you.
The crowd should consider themselves lucky he even decided to play. I’d be pissed if I was in the crowd, and some jackass ruined it because he wanted to throw something at a band I liked enough to pay good money to see.
You call Josh Homme a coward, yet some guy attacks from a crowd, hoping to stay hidden and anonymous. He got caught, he was made into a display, and maybe after that, people will think twice before attacking without what they thought would be no consequences.
Sarah: Axl never went that far?? you MUST be joking! ..or you must be either really young or have a really bad memory..
yeah he never threw “some-thing” at the guy.. except himself off the stage, into the crowd and then threw a punch at the guy.. + countless other numerous occasions where he (verbaly) confronted his “fans” (while the security would do the rest).. but hey – that’s why we love him! ;)
Demontrace: people are crying about his reaction cause most of them are self-righteous hypocrits who don’t know any better than pointing a finger all the time (so they can have this some sort of a make-believe feeling of themselves being “better” than the “others”) .. I guess you could say these are the same ones who like to think their sh*t don’t stink..
PS: totally off-topic, but still.. Skwerl – I hope all is well (regarding that “unscheduled visit”).. respect!
When people like u find something better to argue than this “I guess you could say these are the same ones who like to think their sh*t don’t stink..” i will, maybe hear what u say.grow the fuck up!It’s not about us anyway.Go watch some mtv bullshit and shout cool everytime they drop ads.
Actually, the kid was really cute. I can’t blame Josh for wanting to fuck him… hope he got his nbr for later in the evening…
I never thought someone could get this mad and say alot of swears!XD
Stop whining about Josh being a bad motherfucker, after all they didn’t go out on stage, while being sick as hell, to be thrown shit at. Why did that little shit even throw the bottle at him? I watched that concert on YouTube, and they totally rocked, but this little shit needed to get some attention, his mommy’s paid for the ticket, so, he thinks that gives him the right to disrespect the band. He got exactly what he deserved. That’s todays youth, if he had to go to work to buy the ticket he wouldn’t do that shit, but it’s a whole different thing when mommy pays for it.
“I’m within the crowd, I’m invisible”, he thought, well, he was wrong.
NEVER throw anything in a people who was playing in a stage, first of all RESPECT, if you don’t like it simply get off, if was me, I have done the same Josh done.
im a homosexual
Fuck that little creep, and fuck anyone else who is dissing Josh for this. Get a fuckin’ life and go jerk off instead of throwing shit or you will get your head kicked.
Every song he writes sounds exactly the same. He’ a too cool for school chump. Nice red hair….
