A Muso's Top 10: Queens of the Stone Age

Feature by Dave Kerr.
Published 02 February 2010

Last issue we got to know Them Crooked Vultures and learned all about their extensive touring plans for the year - very good. But what the hell happened to Josh Homme's day job? Well, Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen (currently moonlighting with garage combo Sweethead) shines a light and tells us "Queens will rise again" to reconvene in 2010. "It’s looking like the autumn," he reveals, before teasing: "We've got some cool stuff about to happen on that front." Maybe Desert Sessions 11&12 is finally in the can. We can only but speculate.

In the meantime, Van Leeuwen offers an insight into the ten slithers of vinyl he'd most probably save from a raging house fire:

1. David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
2. Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffiti
3. Tom Waits - Franks Wild Years
4. Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst
5. Brian Eno - Ambient One: Music For Airports
6. Goodspeed You! Black Emperor - F# A# (Infinity)
7. Nick Cave - The Good Son
8. Pretenders - Pretenders
9. Jimi Hendrix - Eletcric Ladyland
10. Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
