Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA or simply Queens) is a hard rock band from Palm Desert, California. The band is frequently labeled stoner rock, although they reject the label. QOTSA developed a style of riff-oriented, heavy music which the band’s founder and mastermind Josh Homme described as ‘robot rock’, saying that he “wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, just pound it into your head”. Since then, their sound has evolved to incorporate a variety of different styles and influences.
While in high school, Josh got together with locals Brant Bjork, Chris Cockrell (later replaced by Nick Oliveri) and John Garcia resulting in the formation of Kyuss (firstly known as “Sons of Kyuss”). QOTSA formed in 1997, rising from the ashes of Kyuss and began playing together during the now legendary Desert Sessions. Homme has drawn all of the members from that diverse group of musicians for QOTSA. The band originally formed under the name Gamma Ray, but almost faced a lawsuit from the European metal band of the same name.
QOTSA have gone through many line-up changes since first breaking into the hard rock scene. Their most recent line-up includes: Josh Homme (Guitar, Vocals), Troy Van Leeuwen (Guitar, Lap Steel, Keyboards, Backing Vocals), Joey Castillo (Drums), Michael Shuman (Bass, Backing Vocals) and Dean fertita (Keyboards, Guitar, Backing Vocals).

@Kaersan Indeed, all that you said is so much beautiful. LTP is definitely my favourite too. Love the dark, the heavy, the great lyrics... everything.

My favourite album is "Lullabies To Paralyze" - the first album I bought with the intention of actually loving! And that I did. I am definitely going to sing "This Lullaby" to my children, so they'll get Queens Of The Stone Age in their blood early on - I figure the best thing you can pass down to your children is a sensible taste in music.. And I just love that song - It's not actually my all-time favourite QOTSA song, but it's melancholy and the slow drowning vocals just always stir something in me. Then again the whole album just always stirs something in me. Queens Of The Stone Age - It just can not get better than this!
