Posted September 18, 200717 yr Alex Turner reveals he wants to tour properly with Josh Homme's band Arctic Monkeys played a shock hour-long support slot at a Queens Of The Stone Age gig in Houston, Texas yesterday (September 17). With QOTSA's regular support bands Howlin' Blue and Dax Riggs not available for the gig at the Verizon Wireless Theatre, Alex Turner's troupe were able to play for an hour to a surprised crowd. In tribute to the Sheffield group's performance, QOTSA front-man Josh Homme later changed some of the lyrics of his band's song, 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer', quoting Arctic Monkeys' 'I Bet You Good Look Good On The Dance Floor'. Turner was in a similarly playful mood during his own band's set, comparing one audience member to TV soap opera Coronations Street's Curly Watts. After the show, Alex Turner revealed to NME.COM what an honour it was to be playing with his heroes Queens Of The Stone Age. He said: "I thoroughly enjoyed it! The Queens were amazing. It would be terrific to do a proper tour with them." Homme was full of praise for the Arctic Monkeys, telling NME.COM: "Watching them play was my highlight of the whole night. They're a really great live band - they're like a tight little spring, you know? I didn't even get tipsy because I was too busy watching them play!" Source: NME.com Now i'm not a huge fan on QOTSA but this is a huge deal to support them because they're an iconic band and the Arctics obviously look up to them so it's great for them and not only the fans that they get to support them. QOTSA also seem to be really complimentary (sp?) of the band which is really nice too. ^_^
September 18, 200717 yr Yer im not a big fan of them either..... but they are a bit of a legendary band and its a big chance for the Arctics over there
September 19, 200717 yr i love QOTSA...one of the greatest rock bands of the last 10 years...or the greatest their influence in AM's music is huge...(the view from the afternoon intro for example is definitely a QOTSA riff) i d love to see them play together n i d love to see AM to cover QOTSA song sometime... btw , you should check their album "R"....its amazing
September 19, 200717 yr Author I dunno what it is about QOTSA but i've never really like them and i'm not sure why. I know lots of people rate them very highly is music and they have quite a decent fanbase but I don't really like their music at all. :lol:
