Ahhh, YouTube, it seems no (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/39848-trail-of-dead-dudes-brawl-onstage-guitarist-collapses) confrontation (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/50082-jay-reatard-preps-next-7-chaos-erupts-at-toronto-gig) can hide from your constant onslaught of shaky-ass live video clips. Heck, here's one now: Seems Queens of the Stone Age (http://www.qotsa.com/) frontman Josh Homme ran afoul of a bottle-wieldin' jackass at this past weekend's Norwegian Wood festival in Oslo, Norway, and, well, what followed wasn't pretty.
During a take on "3's & 7's" from last year's Era Vulgaris (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/43529-era-vulgaris), a container is clearly seen flying from the crowd at Homme. Though he contains his rage well enough for a couple minutes-- long enough to finish the song, anyway-- Homme just can't keep it bottled (ha) up. Amid a flurry of cursing, Homme singles out the perceived bottle-hurler, calls him all sorts of nasty names, and even chucks his own bottle at the kid at close range. The kid, meanwhile, looks stoked all the while. As mentioned, a clip of all this made its way to YouTube, and, well, turn your speakers down [via Idolator (http://idolator.com/396230/do-not-fuck-with-josh-homme)]:
I know I wouldn't want something coming at my head at that speed-- especially when I've got a fever of 102-- but man, Homme, don't you think you were a little hard on the dude? And you dropped at least one f-bomb there that just shouldn't be dropped.
One hopes things go a little smoother at the Queens' next gig, June 19 at Graz, Austria's Kasemattenbühne. Homme also appears on the forthcoming UNKLE LP End Titles... Stories for Film (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/51055-qotsa-black-mountain-members-on-new-unkle-lp), due next month.
