Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme has had a swipe at The Rolling Stones, saying they rely too heavily on their older material when they play live.
Despite having supported the rock dinosaurs on the road, Homme believes Mick and co. don’t care too much about their recorded output any more and only release albums as a platform for their tours.
Homme said: “I’m really on the opposite side to what those guys are doing.
”We played with them and I totally enjoyed it. It was great to see. But they only put out albums to remind people they’re going on tour.
“For me it’s about creative output. They only go on tour so people can hear their older songs. If I understood that was happening to us, I wouldn’t hesitate to take a long break.
He continued to The Star: “You should feel lucky to be making music and if you don’t you should sit down for a second and burn yourself with a cigarette because you need to feel that luxury and that should be what fuels your tank.
“If that’s not the case then you have been running on empty for too long.”

rolling stones, yeah they are turd but after qotsas shite releases of recent, i dont know where he gets off. josh needs nick to write, fact. he is steadily approaching boring songwriting
