Are Queens of the Stone Age metal? Maybe, maybe not. But screw it ... We love this band and want to share our love witchu!

From the ashes of Kyuss rose this hard-to-pin-down band that's had mainstream success while staying kinda weird. Brian and Matt were immediately captivated by "If Only" in the late '90s and have remained QOTSA fans ever since.

They reveal their favorite albums and the stories behind them, from Josh Homme's near-death experience to the vast cast of characters that have shaped the sound of these desert rock titans.

The guys share personal stories and recommend bands both new and old, so get ready to branch out and rock out to all kinds of fuzzy goodness!
