Talk:Queens of the Stone Age

message: I'm a manager trying to gain some insights from the band's history.  About how many gigs did you play in 1996? 97? 98? 99? 2000? Was it a curve?  Was there a disciplined choice about how many gigs to play out, ie. 2 a month, 4 a month?  Who paid for the gigs-- the band members?    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.72.119.125 (talk) 11:25, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  OFFICIAL RESPONSE 

message: Hey, I was over at the discography article, and it has a long list of B-sides and bonus tracks on it. However, these aren't explained over there and most of them aren't mentioned elsewhere that I can find. Just by way of suggestion, people might find it useful if this list offered up a brief comment on each track explaining where the tracks can be found.Warhorus (talk) 17:08, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good suggestion, all it would take is a brief comment (As you mentioned) and a link to the respective release it came from, if applicable. I would start, but I'm lazy and am procrastinating for the time being. Red157 22:19, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Lanegan and the self titled

message: ...Is irrelevant in this article as it is presented right now (one random sentence in the Era Vulgaris section, taking into account she was a Queen of the Stone Age only during the Lullabies to Paralyze tour), in my opinion this should only be mentioned in her own article, along with Eleven's article. Any thoughts?
:Only just seen that edit and I have to agree. I was one of the folk on the keeping the notice up on her wiki page when there wasn't a proper reference, thus breaking wiki rules, so it's not like I don't care about Natasha Shneider's death. But it doesn't belong in this article. And it pains me to say that. Red157(talk • contribs) 01:16, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Changed all the code words and such since there is no need to save the space when the former menbers are in a separete section. Should the same be with the Queens of the Stone Age contributors article?

thread_title: Members section

message: Someone added the upcoming sixth album to the discography section with a release date of 2010. This is unconfirmed, seeing as there is so little news about it and most rumors say its coming out late this year. I changed it to 2009/2010. Is this OK, or should it just be removed altogether from the discography seeing as so little is known about it?--Wolfemiester (talk) 07:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Only source that says anything about a re-release is http://www.qotsa.com/news/default.aspx?nid=27027 and that's of Rated R. It no where states that Nick Oliveri is joining to play with them. --FrostedBitesCereal (talk) 19:56, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nick Oliveri and self title 2010 release 

message: Hey everyone. I've decided that this article has been crap for long enough, and that it needs a serious overhaul. To start, I just removed
*  "which has been described by Homme as "robot rock", stating that he "wanted to create a heavy sound based on a solid jam, and just pound it into your head"."
from the lead paragraph, as it is uncited and I couldn't find any source showing this quote. I'll keep trying to find one, though. AC (talk) 03:12, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Edit Report for Aug 25 Okay, just spent some time doing some clean-up. The article, when editing, is a friggin' mess. It seems every time someone added something, they just added more citations instead of seeing if the old ones could be re-used. While this isn't always bad, as more citations are usually good, there's now 50 citations and each one is used maybe twice or three times, at most. So one of my goals is to see if it is possible to consolidate the citations. I also added some quotes, specifically I found an article where Homme mentions the 'robot'-like sound, but I added it not under the lead paragraph where it was but under the Rated R section, as this is the time period in which he mentioned it. Plus, the robot rock doesn't seem fitting in the lead, as it's not really that major of a genre to QOTSA, especially with the newer albums which are more melodic and flowing. So my overhaul is not complete, but I need some rest and a smoke before I keep going. Any help is always appreciated!AC (talk) 04:01, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes to article! 

message: It seems that currently the core of the band is really just Van Leeuwen, Castillo and Homme. Shuman and Fertita are on and off members, while Castillo and Van Leeuwen have been touring and writing consistantly from Songs for the Deaf. Any thoughts? AC (talk) 03:16, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Dean and Mikey are most definitely proper members. This is their second tour with the band (remember, both Joey and Troy didn't contribute to SftD - only toured it) and have both recorded with them on B-sides to Era Vulgaris singles.   Red157  22:40, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Desert rock. This is another genre that should be added to this article. It a genre that plays key element in the band's sound; and is prevalent well throughout their discography. Not only does desert rock have a distinct sound in the band's music but Queens Of The Stone Age are in fact one of genre's innovators. Queens Of The Stone Age played a key in the Palm Desert Scene, the desert rock scene that grew in the 90s. Along with other bands like Kyuss (which Josh Homme of QOTSA was in), QOTSA deserve to be recognised for their desert rock sound. I felt it nessesary to deliver this message before I under took the task of adding the genre myself, though I hope I would not need to as someone else will.

message: I would like to second J.A.F's preposition. They're pretty clearly desert rock and I think it should be displayed in the genres section. They're quite probably the most well known desert rock band, in fact. Cheers. --Storyboutme (talk) 17:49, 6 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: "Desert rock" doesn't have its own Wikipedia page though, so without any wiki-link or context, it'd be meaningless to most readers. That's probably why JAF's proposition from over a year ago was ignored. That being said, if you check the stoner rock genre, it mentions its relation to desert rock, so the concept isn't currently completely ignored either.

message: The band is from Seattle. Josh Homme is from Palm Desert, but he was in Seattle at the University of Washington after Kyuss broke up.
