Queens Of The Stone Age Cause Wallet Discontent

By Shehzaad Jiwani and Noah Love (CHARTattack) May 13, 2008 3:00 pm
Noah Love: It was billed as "A Night You'll Never Remember," and for one of us, at least, that was entirely true. Fellow ChartAttack writer Shehzaad Jiwani and I have seen Queens Of The Stone Age (at least) a combined 17 times, and have produced no less than nine reviews for ChartAttack, including this one. So instead of a fawning take...

Queens Of The Stone Age Take Requests

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) October 16, 2007 12:00 pm
As much as I enjoyed their intimate show at the Guvernment this past August, the last Queens Of The Stone Age concert was almost entirely ruined for me by the drunken idiots packed into the venue. Come to think of it, that's been the case almost every other time I've seen the band. Thankfully, though, despite the meatheads still coming out in...

Queens Of The Stone Age Amp Up The Power

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) August 24, 2007 9:00 am
Somewhere along the line, Josh Homme had to get sick of the chatter. That's what it's been, mostly, since he fired bassist Nick Oliveri shortly after Queens Of The Stone Age enjoyed their most successful touring stretch to support Songs For The Deaf. When Lullabies To Paralyze came out, some said the group lacked variation without Oliveri's vocal...

Queens Of The Stone Age — Era Vulgaris

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) June 12, 2007 8:31 pm
I wouldn't say Lullabies To Paralyze was a bad record by any stretch of the imagination, but Queens Of The Stone Age's first record since Rated R without longtime bassist Nick Oliveri definitely lacked the bite of its monster predecessors. With Era Vulgaris, they haven't just got their mojo back, they've produced their most inventive and...

Queens Of The Stone Age — Over The Years And Through The Woods

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) November 29, 2005 2:39 pm
It seems like every band on the planet have a CD/DVD release this fall, and while some are hastily assembled packages, QOTSA's Over The Years And Through The Woods is anything but. The CD features a 74-minute live show, with the band tackling a pile of classics, such as "Regular John" and "Mexicola," and a smattering of new...

Queens Of The Stone Age — Lullabies To Paralyze

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) March 22, 2005 1:37 pm
For anyone who was wondering just how well Queens Of The Stone Age would fare without Josh Homme’s longtime buddy and bassist Nick Olivieri... you’ve got your answer. It’s the saddest state of affairs since Iggy Pop thought Peaches and Sum 41 collaborations were good ideas. Beyond blasé, this album lacks any semblance of testosterone, fire or...

Queens Of The Stone Age — Songs For The Deaf

By Aaron Brophy (CHARTattack) August 27, 2002 3:56 pm
Queens Of The Stone Age’s third album, Songs For The Deaf, all but defines everything that is good and righteous about hard rock. This time 'round, Nick Oliveri, Josh Homme and their revolving cast of rock star guests have managed to create what may be damn near the best stoner rock record since Black Sabbath’s Paranoid. The lead track "...
