Queens of the Stone Age are tossing around the idea of playing all five of their albums live in full. As Universal gears up to do a 10th anniversary re-release of Rated R, their major label debut; front man Josh Homme has revealed that the band are also considering doing some special gigs to mark the occasion. “Universal wanted to do a 10-year anniversary and I was like, ‘What the fuck?’ ” Homme says. “I have trouble looking too far forward or back.” Despite turning his nose up at the idea of being nostalgic, he also says they may do some ‘Don’t Look Back’ style shows. “We’ve talked about how much we enjoyed when Cheap Trick performed their first three records and we’ve thought about doing five nights for each record,” he says. “It’s been discussed — after a few shots — but it’s been discussed.”
After completing European festival dates, Homme says the band will be getting back to work on their new album which he hopes to have out early next year. “I have ideas already absolutely,” he says. “It’s all about wiggling hips. The music is gonna go further down that strange and lovely path of Era Vulgaris.”
