Queens Of The Stone Age Looking At Past, Thinking Of Future
Queens Of The Stone Age are celebrating some of their early releases with the "Rated R" reissue and the upcoming re-release of their out-of-print debut. But leader Josh Homme admits there was a time when he thought the band wouldn't be around anymore. The vocalist says after firing bassist Nick Oliveri he considered breaking up the group. He tells The BBC's Zane Lowe, quote, "I thought about giving up a lot. I wanted to respect what was there, but you come to a spot where you say, 'Should some mistake really be the end of us all? Someone else's mistake. Is that fair?' In the split, I found my reason to continue, to make it about the music." While the focus at the moment is on Queens Of The Stone Age's history, Homme says the band will make another album. However, he notes they're in no rush to get started, explaining, quote, "It feels like a brand new band. It feels like we can do anything. So we're going to do it, go to the middle of nowhere, not record at all, and just be a band for a while."
