About Queens Of The Stone Age

In the second half of the 1990s, there was no shortage of bands eager to resurrect the heavy-rock musical values of the '70s. Unlike many of these, whose methods were either slavishly derivative or too post-modern/jokey, the Queens of the Stone Age managed to successfully update old-school riff-rock without resorting to either method. Guitarist/mastermind Josh Homme has been aided throughout the band's discography by everyone from Rob Halford to members of the Screaming Trees.
