During an interview with BBC Radio 1 on Tuesday afternoon, Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme revealed that Dave Grohl has been tapped to drum on the band’s new studio album.

Grohl previously drummed on the band’s 2002 critical and commerical blockbuster Songs For the Deaf and collaborated with Homme for Them Crooked Vultures in 2009 and 2010. Homme said that he considered Grohl the only man for the job after the departure of Joey Castillo.

According to Queens of the Stone Age’s Twitter account, the new album will be out prior to their appearance at the UK Download Festival in June.

[echoshifting]

Awesome, awesome news. Wow. I can't think of anything to say but I am really excited about this.

 

[subversus]

Good

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

My favorite Foo Fighters song:

Aurora

 

[Chamber]

Can't wait for this. 5 years since Era Vulgaris.

 

[MilkLizard]

Fuck yeah. That's awesome news. Songs for the deaf is still my favorite Qotsa album.

 

[fredrancour]

I had no idea this was ever in doubt. I only just now learned from wiki-ing that he'd only been on one album.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I really hate Foo Fighters but I find Dave Grohl really likable. Its weird.

 

[Double D]

This guy looks just like the drummer from Nirvana.

 

[FlashFlooder]

best news in a while. They just need to turn those levels UP.

 

[echoshifting]

I had no idea this was ever in doubt. I only just now learned from wiki-ing that he'd only been on one album.

The best one.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Over the Years and Through the Woods Is so good, I hope another live album comes from them soon.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

The best one.

He didn't drum on Lullabies to Paralyze.

 

[megateto]

The best one.

I've been listening to this record lots for most of this year and boy, Dave really creates something special there. My steering wheel has suffered with my poor attempts to emulate him XD.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

Words are failing me.

This is gonna be good.

Josh seemed really buddy buddy with Joey, I wonder if the split was because Josh felt dave's energy would be better for the record or if Joe had other shit he wanted to do.

EDIT: FRESH POTS

 

[Mordeccai]

This guy looks just like the drummer from Nirvana.

Not sure if serious

HYPED! Love me some QOTSA. Was listening to Lullabies earlier this morning. Little sister is so damn groovy with that cowbell or whatever that amazing instrument is

Edit: ^ hahaha fresh pot! Dave loves his coffee.

Dave Grohl to drum on new Queens of the Stone Age album

His work on QOTSA/Songs for the Deaf was outstanding.

EDIT: FRESH POTS

Seems Joey left amicably enough. He'll probably keep touring with the Eagles of Death Metal.

 

[Dilly]

Had no idea Joey left.

But seriously, Dave is a beast on the drums and especially live.

 

[The Big Rig]

Super stoked.

 

[Zaphod]

I was listening to Songs for the Deaf yesterday and thinking about how good Dave's drum work was on that album. Awesome news!

 

[Vampire On Titus]

Awesome news. :O

 

[JeTmAn81]

Love me some Grohl drums

 

[Yen]

Full lineup. Same as EV but with Grohl.

 

[Mindwipe]

Awesome news.

Songs for the Deaf is one of my favourite albums.

 

[Yager]

He didn't drum on Lullabies to Paralyze.

This. I love Songs fot the Deaf, but I can't stand all that radio stuff that's between songs.

 

[timetokill]

This is the best fucking news of the day. Grohl is a god on drums.

His drumming on Songs for the Deaf made that album easily the best QotSA album and the best album of the year for my money.

 

[Xrenity]

Dave Grohl is the only one who I'll allow to replace Joey Castillo.

Good news.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Awesome stuff. QOTSA + Grohl is good news. "A Song For The Dead" is like a drumming masterclass. Dat intro....

 

[Lonestar]

This is the best fucking news of the day. Grohl is a god on drums.

His drumming on Songs for the Deaf made that album easily the best QotSA album and the best album of the year for my money.

You and I finally agree on something. Now, if only you'd move over to Yahoo Pickem.

 

[Dilly]

This. I love Songs fot the Deaf, but I can't stand all that radio stuff that's between songs.

The radio stuff just makes it even better.

NEVER

Nothing against deaf, but it has nothing compared to lullabies.

[NinjaBoiX]

A Song for the Dead (Live @ Glastonbury 2002)

 

[Quikies83]

Is there a more overrated drummer? Seriously.

edit: yeah, he hits the kit really fucking hard.

 

[MilkLizard]

He didn't drum on Lullabies to Paralyze.

This. I love Songs fot the Deaf, but I can't stand all that radio stuff that's between songs.

I made myself I version without the radio stuff. Works better in the car as I always have my iPod on shuffle.

 

[Ostinatto]

Full lineup. Same as EV but with Grohl.

why are they using only one track for the drums?
i mean,a drum kit has bass drums , snare, hi hat, toms, cymbals etc right?

 

[Always-honest]

So.. Is he better than let's say, the other drummer?

 

[Heel]

Why not Bernard Purdie instead?

 

[xTOOLx]

Please go back to Danzig Joey. Glenn needs you...

 

[blackflag]

Is there a more overrated drummer? Seriously.

edit: yeah, he hits the kit really fucking hard.

Boo This Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Love QOTSA. Just listened to 3s and 7s to celebrate.

 

[Gouty]

I think Queens are just as good without Dave as they are with. I just hope this means they're really far along in recording.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Is there a more overrated drummer? Seriously.

Lol ok

 

[Gouty]

For those that have never heard it.....well shit, for anyone because its thats awesome....

THE FUN MACHINE TOOK A SHIT AND DIED

 

[Magna_Mixalis]

why are they using only one track for the drums?
i mean,a drum kit has bass drums , snare, hi hat, toms, cymbals etc right?

Probably just the monitor/earphone settings.

I can almost guarantee they have his kit (over)mic'd.

 

[Yager]

I need to do this.
