I love Josh Homme, and if you don't, you need to go sit on a fat dick!(Youtube MANIA)

[Conchaga]

So, in a little memorial thread here's some videos of how really badass Josh really is. I'm hoping that by the end of this thread you've done one of the following three things.

1) Listened to all of the music I posted and now have to clean the shit from your pants.
2) You did 1 and it caused #2 and therefore you'll go out and find more stuff this guy's been involved in
3) You absolutely hate this stuff because you're a wanker who listens to bands like HIM and My Chemical Romance. Please go slit your wrists and stop funding shitty bands. P.S. Go sit on a fat cock you emo asshat.

Now that were done with intros, who wants to have their ears and mind fucked by some of the greatest tunes on earth?

Let's start with Josh's most well-known involvement in Queens of the Stone Age.

"Feel Good Hit of the Summer" - R

"Go With The Flow" - Songs for the Deaf

"Burn the Witch" - Lullabies to Paralyze (featuring Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top fame)

A small trivia factoid about this song is that on this video @ 2:26 Billy made that little "twang" by getting his beard caught in the guitar. It makes the song, IMO.

Josh Homme is notorious for heckling the crowd. However, if you've ever seen him in concert, he makes love to the crowd and they'll run like lemmings to a cliff for him.

Josh is responsible for some of the most badass musical projects of our time.

His most recent project is playing drums for the band Eagles of Death Metal. Check his work on this song which makes me squirt in my shorts every time I hear it.

"I Want You So Hard (Boy's Bad News)" - Death By Sexy...

And I only posted that song because the embedding on the song "I Gotta Feeling (Just 19)" was disabled. Same album as above.

He helped produce Melissa Auf Der Maur's self titled album; and even performed guitar in one track.

DJ Shadow's side project U.N.K.L.E. has done some amazing work with many artists through the years. One of which was Josh.

Desert Sessions: A project organized by Josh Homme which had some of the most of the progressive rock artists of the early-to-mid 90's. Together they released some of the most awesome and sexy tracks this planet has ever had the good fortune of feeling the vibrations from.

Here's a track from the album Volumes 9 & 10 titled "Crawl Home" featuring PJ Harvey.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=<obj...e" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Some of the Desert Sessions' earlier albums were fucking awesome.
Songs to note:
"Up in Hell"
"Making a Cross"
"Don't Drink Poison"
"Covered in Punk's Blood"
"Creosote"

Before Josh Homme was doing Desert Sessions, he was with a little-known band called Kyuss. These guys have been equated to a mixture of Tool and Black Sabbath. With the song I'm about to post ("Demon Cleaner"), I can understand why people make that analogy. However, what's not widely known is that the album this song comes from Welcome to Sky Valley is fucking amazing. It's only four tracks long. However, each track has three to four songs within it (Josh claims it was to wreak havoc while trying to play it on a CD player... He was right). One of the most memorable songs on there was "Asteroid". The album came with the instructions, "listen without distraction."

"Asteroid" (It's the only copy I could find on teh Tube) - Welcome to Sky Valley

I'll leave you with the last track from Kyuss' first album Wretch called "Stage III"

[Conchaga]

By the way. I reccomend listening to all those songs for the first time high out of your mind.

 

[Conchaga]

...and turn the volume WAY up!

 

[jack]

What an AWESOME fucking thread.

Songs for the deaf is one of my top ten fave ablums.

 

[Tisiphone]

Yep, awesome thread!

 

[Conchaga]

Yeah, a couple of the tracks from Songs for the Deaf were originally written with The Desert Sessions.

Songs that crossover:
"Avon" - Originally released on Volumes 3 & 4 (1998 ) Re-released on Queens of the Stone Age (1998 )
"Monster in the Parasol" - Originally released on Volumes 3 & 4 (1998 ) Re-released on Rated R (2000)
"You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire" - Originally released on Volumes 5 & 6 (1999) Re-released on Songs for the Deaf (2002)
"Hangin' Tree" - Originally released on Volumes 7 & 8 (2001) Re-released on Songs for the Deaf (2002)
"In My Head... Or Something" - Originally released on Volumes 9 & 10 (2003) Re-released on Lullabies to Paralyze (2005)
"I Wanna Make it Wit Chu" - Originally released on Volumes 9 & 10 (2003) Re-released on Era Vulgaris (2007)

Watching QOTSA perform "I Wanna Make it Wit Chu" live last year after having listened to the song from the genesis was orgasmic. The crowd stopped moshing. They were totally silent except for the refrain. Josh just stuck out the mic and let us sing the song. He stated "That sounds so fuckable." The guy is a true Rock 'n' Roller.

 

[Tisiphone]

You think I ain't worth a dollar, but I feel like a millionaire.

 

[Conchaga]

Besides, Josh is sexy

Yes. Yes, he is.

Too bad he's spoken for.

He is or was dating the lead singer of The Distillers, Brody Dalle. She also appears on QOTSA's Lullabies to Paralyze and EODM's Death By Sexy...

Anyway, here's a vid of her rocking hard with The Distillers on their only major hit "Drain the Blood".

[Conchaga]

She ain't so bad lookin' herself.

 

[Conchaga]

Wait till you see my followup to this thread.

I'm gonna do another prolific artist of our time.

 

[jack]

This is now my offically my most favorite TK thread.

 

[jack]

She ain't so bad lookin' herself.

Damn, she's delicious. I especially like her moist red mouth.

 

[Tisiphone]

Interesting tat.

 

[Conchaga]

Damn, she's delicious. I especially like her moist red mouth.

I was just thinking about the smears that the lipstick would leave and where.

 

[Alyssum]

I would love to smear lipstick all over certain parts of your body.

 

[Enkephalen]

Hmmm. . .never saw him perform, but know his mom and dad well, they live only 4 blocks from me. As far as I know, Josh is married and has one kid.

 

[Conchaga]

Hmmm. . .never saw him perform, but know his mom and dad well, they live only 4 blocks from me. As far as I know, Josh is married and has one kid.

Yes, you're right. He is married, and he has a daughter. He married Brody Dalle. His daughter's name is Camille Harley Homme.

 

[Tisiphone]

I love that name, Camille.

 

[Conchaga]

I'm assuming the middle name comes from Josh's love of motorcycles.

 

[Tisiphone]

I want to name a daughter Harley, but not after the bike.

ZOMG!
