Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal to Play Benefit Show At Club Nokia

Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal are going to be playing August 12 at Club Nokia in Los Angeles.

This one off show by QOTSA is a benefit show for Brian O'Connor of EODM.  He was diagnoses with a cancer a few weeks ago and is currently undergoing treatment for the disease.

It is not known who will be in the latest version of QOTSA.  There have been many rumors about Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan rejoining the band, but nothing has been confirmed.

Eagles of Death Metal - Featuring Brian O'Connor (Live on Letterman)

Nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstacy, and alcohol...

Happy Belated 10th Birthday to one of my favorite albums of all-time. "Rated R" turned 10 this month. It features Mark Lanegan, Rob Halford, Barett Martin from Screaming Trees, Nick Oliveri, and of course Josh Homme.

.
















This is the album that turned me onto Queens of the Stone Age back in 2001 and I haven't been the same since. I "may" have a slight obessesion with anything Josh Homme touches now.

I've written about this album in the past, so go read my review of the Top 20 Albums of the Decade if you're still interested.

It's worth downloading if you haven't ever heard it.  Whether you steal it or buy it.  Just get it.

KCRW Streaming The New Delta Spirit Album

"History From Below" comes out next Tuesday but you can preview the new album by clicking on the link below.  I became a huge fan of these guys about 2 years ago after seeing them open for Dr. Dog. If you're a fan of indie rock, you'll probably love them too.  I'm really digging the new album, it's been a long time coming.

One of Mike Patton's greatest performances. And he has claimed in numerous interviews that he doesn't do drugs, this video would suggest otherwise.
