QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE REPORTEDLY SEEKING NEW DRUMMER
@Antiquiet on Twitter is reporting that Queens of the Stone Age are searching for a new full time drummer since Dave Grohl, who is drumming on the band’s new album, will not be staying with the band on a permanent basis. Joey Castillo recently left the group during the recording of their new album, leading to Grohl’s return. Queens of the Stone Age are set to release their first album in 6 years next year.
I think the full time drummer solution is easy: Jimmy Chamberlin!
Jimmy Chamberlin yes fucking please
Jimmy isn’t as good as you say he is, man…
No surprise there.
Lame these queens are gay again
Chris Pennie. Put those incredible skills towards good music
Jimmy is too good for queens…
FUCK. I was hoping that I’ll see Dave behind the drums during their tour.
((((
Jimmy on the drums for qotsa would be fucking epic. I truly believe he is the greatest drummer in the last 25 years. I can see this happening considering u don’t hear of him at all these days, so its not like the guy is super busy or anything.
Well duh I don’t think anyone ever expected Dave to be there full time with the Queens. He does have this little side project called the Foo…and according to their latest documentary there was a little drama in his band the last time he wanted to leave for awhile to drum for the QOTSA
But if he reeeeeallllyyyy wanted to go be a drummer for someone else for awhile, Matt Cameron will have to go back to Pearl Jam at some point and wasn’t Dave spotted at least a couple different Soundgarden shows fairly recently? That would be sick is all.
Josh Freese seems like an obvious choice.
Yess…Josh Freese will be awesome!!
Fuck yeh! Josh is the best !
damn str8 ppl, Josh Freese could absolutely nail pretty much anything, would be a great choice and the 3rd former APC member to play in Qotsa (van leeuwen (spelling?) and iha)
Iha in QOTSA??
Jimmy Chamberlain? Listen Brett, I appreciate when you copy and paste info, but please keep your absurd two cents out of it. He is simply the last person who would ever accept an invitation to join QOTSA.
Barrett Martin. Josh worked with him in Screaming Trees and he doesn’t seem to be doing much these days.
Dave needs to be in bands where he’s singing. For example, it would be fun to see him do a few songs with Kiss and Alice in Chains.
I’ll drum!!! Me Me Me!!!
Jimmy is one of the best drummers in rock but does not belong in QOTSA.
Would about Adam Lavine? He is seems available these days.
how about Brann Dailor? Josh Homme is a huge fun of Mastodon. Plus Mastodon isnt on any touring at the moment..
@ Jack Irons:
LULZ!!! I know, right?
That was freakin’ funny man…

^^^ What an AWESOME idea!
Wow – what if they read this site and that actually happened?
Can you imagine being @ an AIC show and Dave walks out on stage with his guitar in place and a mic in his hand?
The crowd would totally explode.
But it would probably only happen in LA, NYC, or Seattle…
But we can always dream.
Peace
Oh… and I cannot understand the *gay* comments about QOTSA.
I believe their music is well thought out, well played.
If you don’t like them – fine.
You either like it or you don’t – but homophobic comments have no place here. I’m sorry — but it’s like being a racist.
311′s drummer is better
@gamerrmwm Dave drumming for Soundgarden? good joke
@Adam Precisely!
I think Jimmy Chamberlin would be interesting to hear. Josh Freese would be a good choice too.
Yeah Jimmy wouldn’t fit in QUOTSA I suppose, I doubt he’s too much into playing other people’s stuff! But I’d just be excited to finally hear him in a good band since SP hahaha
Josh Freeze is by far a better, more fitting choice than the incredible Jimmy Chamberlin for QOTSA.
Jimmy Bower would be a perfect shoe in.
Josh Freese. He’s my favorite drummer and he already played on Lullabies.
Are you guys serious?
Matt Cameron was the first drummer for Queens, way back in 97′, he’s perfect for the part.
Surprised nobody has mentioned Alfredo Hernandez. He drummed on their self titled, and if that albums re-release tour inspired the writing process as it has been well documented, wouldn’t he be a candidate? How about Gene Trautmann or Nicky Lucero, the drummers on Rated R? Gene toured with Eagles of Death Metal not too long ago. I cant see J-Ho getting a drummer he hasnt played with before.
suggesting Mike Byrne for qotsa’s revolving cast….then jimmy can find his place in the world again.
New project for Danny Carey?? Please??!
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Jon Theodore.
This dude rips pretty hard: http://youtu.be/2HQDnF6FGEQ
Insider Scoop: Jon Theodore is the next drummer for QOTSA.
steve hewwitt has been asked to audition
Wayne Draves drummer of the Spits rules
One name only
C. ALANIZ!
Don’t know…. You better get to know!
Here he comes!
They need new blood. We keep replacing musicians without opening the door for new ones. There are so many talented drummers that haven’t been heard. Recycling musicians over & over only ends in the same sounds we’ve heard a thousand times before.
