Queens of the Stone Age are a heavy metal band now?

Close enough for mainstream journalism.

/They also call Kenny G a "jazz musician".

Patrons were advised to go with the flow.

QOTSA's first album is still their best.

i know Great White, i've worked with Great White, and you, Queens of the Stone Age are no Great White.

Agreed, though they're all fun.

That's what I came here to say (or as in your case, ask).

I wouldn't even consider them to be "hard rock", let alone metal.

I would, however, consider them awesome.

Seconded. They are awesome and great fun in concert. Do we need to categorize every damn thing?

HappyHarryHardOn [TotalFark] 2008-04-07 06:37:08 PM  
Agreed, first one is the best, but strangely the song "sick, sick, sick" is, imho, the best thing they ever done.

The rest of the album? Not so much... Ballads are the suck

"Thousands of fans"?

Very funny.

Trust me, the difference between QoTSA and Great White is greater that the count of immolated fans. . .

Great White isn't heavy metal either.

They are no Great White because they didn't perform a killer set?

No one knows.

Girney and HHHH-
Really, the first album is that good. I'll have to give it another listen. Rated R is my fave, SFTD being a very close second

That is one ugly group of musicians. Kind of like "Freaks" for the 80s hair band crowd....of which I was one (hangs head)

This.

I saw them live a few months ago. Damn, that was good.

Also, not heavy metal. "Stoner rock" is more accurate.

Also, Great White sucks. I'm glad QoTSA are not Great White.

/HI JOSH

I have a gold strat signed by QOTSA. My kid won it in a promotional giveaway from a local music store.

QotSA is not even in the same solar system as GW.

"Desert Rock", I believe, is the term for Kyuss, QotSA, Truckfighters, etc.

my name isnt Josh as I could see you were clearly speaking to me when you said that.

Queens of the Stone Age first CD is one of my favorite of all time, but the rest I just couldnt get in to at all sorry to say.

I wanted to, but i r couldnt.
