Editing Josh Homme (section)

==Career==
===Kyuss (1987–1995)===
{{Main|Kyuss}}
In 1987, when he was 14 years old, Homme formed a [[punk rock]]-influenced [[Heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band in [[Palm Desert High School]] called Katzenjammer with schoolmates [[John Garcia (singer)|John Garcia]], [[Brant Bjork]], [[Nick Oliveri]] and Chris Cockrell. Homme was the band's guitarist. After changing their name a few times, first to Sons of Kyuss (they released an [[Sons of Kyuss EP|EP of the same name]]), they finally shortened it to Kyuss. The band garnered a [[cult following]] by the early 1990s, often driving for hours to isolated locations in the desert and plugging into generators to perform. These events, known as "generator parties", became [[urban legend]] among rock subculture.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Billik|first=Kira L.|date=March 14, 1993|title=Confused punk rockers' have an identity crisis|pages=G3|newspaper=[[Buffalo News]]}}</ref> The band became both famous for their heavy, down tuned, groove oriented music, and infamous for their backstage fights with local LA bands when they traveled into town to play gigs. This soon brought the attention of [[Chris Goss]], who became the band's mentor, helping the band sign to a label and eventually producing them exclusively in an effort to preserve their sound. Due to Homme being younger than 18 at the time of the band's signing, his parents signed the contract on his behalf. Kyuss released four albums (''[[Wretch (album)|Wretch]]'', ''[[Blues for the Red Sun]]'', ''[[Welcome to Sky Valley]]'', and ''[[...And the Circus Leaves Town]]''), of which the final three Goss-produced efforts are often cited as cornerstones to the development of the [[stoner rock]] genre in the 1990s.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rivadavia |first=Eduardo |title=Kyuss Songs, Albums, Reviews, Bio & More {{!}} All... |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/kyuss-mn0000776011#biography |access-date=2024-08-20 |website=AllMusic |language=en}}</ref>

===Queens of the Stone Age (1996–present)===

When Kyuss split up in 1995, Homme moved to [[Seattle, Washington]], briefly abandoning his desire for a music career and attending the [[University of Washington]] to study business. During this time, he fell back in with old musician friends such as [[Ben Shepherd]] and [[Mike Johnson (bassist)|Mike Johnson]], and eventually agreed to join the [[Screaming Trees]] as a rhythm guitarist on the summer [[Lollapalooza]] tour in 1996, a replacement for Johnson, and that continued into the following year.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kelter|first=Christopher J.|year=1998|title=Queens of the Stone Age Review|url=http://www.thefade.net/oldsite/articles/roughedge98xxxx.html|access-date=May 9, 2007|website=Thefade.net}}</ref> Homme and vocalist [[Mark Lanegan]] became close friends during this time but, disliking the rest of the band's continual disharmony, began considering forming his own band. He founded Gamma Ray,<ref>{{cite web|title=Discography entry for ''Gamma Ray''|url=http://www.thefade.net/oldsite/discography/gammaray.html|access-date=May 9, 2007|website=Thefade.net}}</ref> a group more centered on his unique style and tastes, in 1996. After a [[cease and desist]] from [[Gamma Ray (band)|a band of the same name]], this band became Queens of the Stone Age.

Homme lived in [[Amsterdam]] for several months in 1996, which set forth events that would help kickstart the band. [[Roadrunner Records]] approached Homme to contribute to the label's compilation ''Burn One Up! Music for Stoners'', which led to the first Queens of the Stone Age song, "18 A.D.", written with [[Dave Catching]] featuring Catching and members of Dutch stoner rock band [[Beaver (band)|Beaver]] on bass and drums. Homme also produced a song by Beaver for the compilation.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pisart |first=Timo |date=2018-06-26 |title=DTRH18: De geheime Nederlandse wortels van Queens of the Stone Age |url=https://3voor12.vpro.nl/artikelen/overzicht/2018/Down-the-rabbit-hole-2018/De-Nederlandse-wortels-van-Queens-of-the-Stone-Age.html |access-date=2023-08-21 |website=3voor12 |language=nl}}</ref>

The band's first release under the new name was the ''[[Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age]]'' compilation EP, featuring tracks from both Kyuss and songs recorded from the [[Gamma Ray (EP)|''Gamma Ray'']] EP sessions from 1996, released in late 1997. Queens of the Stone Age released their [[Queens of the Stone Age (album)|eponymous debut album]] in 1998. Initially, the band consisted of various friends of Homme's from the Seattle area. Homme had asked a number of singers, including Lanegan, to perform as lead vocalist for Queens of the Stone Age, but by the time of recording the band's debut album, he had moved back to Palm Desert and the band was pared down to just Homme and ex-Kyuss drummer [[Alfredo Hernandez]]. Homme was left to cover every other instrument and ended up singing for the first time in his career. Shortly after recording, Homme and Hernandez were joined by bassist and vocalist [[Nick Oliveri]] and guitarist, keyboardist, and lapsteel player [[Dave Catching]], the band was now composed entirely of ex-Kyuss members and roadies.{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

Following their debut album, by which time Hernandez left the group, Queens of the Stone Age released the next album, ''[[Rated R (Queens of the Stone Age album)|Rated R]]'', during which the band used a wider range of instruments to achieve a more relaxed, spacious and psychedelic sound.<ref name="Rated R Review">{{cite web |last=Huey |first=Steve |title=AllMusic – Rated R Review |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r479243|pure_url=yes}} |access-date=June 24, 2008 |website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref> Though it differed from the band's debut, ''Rated R'' became Queens of the Stone Age's first mainstream hit. The next release, 2002's ''[[Songs for the Deaf]]'', however, would gain even more buzz from the music community and fans alike.<ref>{{cite web|date=March 9, 2006|title=Queens of the Stone Age: A Stone Unturned|url=http://www.mtv.com/bands/q/queens_of_the_stoneage/news_feature_032805|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612182931/http://www.mtv.com/bands/q/queens_of_the_stoneage/news_feature_032805/|archive-date=June 12, 2011|access-date=October 18, 2011|website=MTV.com}}</ref> In ''Songs for the Deaf'', Homme continued his filtering of [[stoner rock]] and hard rock. The album centers on Homme's memories of uncomfortable rides through the California desert, where he had performed in his days with Kyuss, and where there was little to do but listen to Spanish [[Radio broadcasting|radio stations]].<ref>{{cite magazine|date=May 3, 2002|title=QOTSA Enjoying Life With Dave|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/queensofthestoneage/articles/story/5933801/qotsa_enjoying_life_with_dave|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071001011030/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/queensofthestoneage/articles/story/5933801/qotsa_enjoying_life_with_dave|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 1, 2007|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=June 21, 2007}}</ref>

During this time, Homme had a falling out with Oliveri. Following the release of ''Songs for the Deaf'', their relationship deteriorated until Homme fired Oliveri from the band in 2004.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Cohen|first=Jonathan|date=July 6, 2005|title=Homme Comes Clean on Oliveri Firing|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/62176/homme-comes-clean-on-oliveri-firing|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=May 9, 2007}}</ref> Homme reportedly strongly considered breaking up the band at this point.

Homme began writing the band's next album, ''[[Lullabies to Paralyze]]'', named after a lyric from the ''Songs for the Deaf'' hidden track "Mosquito Song". ''Lullabies to Paralyze'', created with ''Songs for the Deaf'' touring recruits [[Troy Van Leeuwen]] and [[Joey Castillo]] and collaborators and future recruits [[Alain Johannes]] and [[Natasha Shneider]] of [[Eleven (band)|Eleven]], was a critical and commercial success, debuting at number five on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], QOTSA's best charting album on the ''Billboard'' 200 to date.<ref name="Updates">{{cite web |last=Mar |first=Alex |date=2005-03-30 |title=50 Still Attacking Chart |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/artists/queensofthestoneage/articles/story/7225493/50_still_attacking_chart |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20071016075140/http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/queensofthestoneage/articles/story/7225493/50_still_attacking_chart |archive-date=2007-10-16 |access-date=2007-06-18 |publisher=Rolling Stone}}</ref>

Queens of the Stone Age's fifth album, ''[[Era Vulgaris (album)|Era Vulgaris]]'', was released in early June 2007 and received generally positive reviews from critics.<ref name="Metacriticrating">{{cite web|title=Era Vulgaris, Metacritic rating|url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/artists/queensofthestoneage/eravulgaris?q=era%20vulgaris|access-date=August 10, 2007|website=[[Metacritic]]}}</ref><ref name="amgreview">{{cite web|author=Thomas Erlewine, Stephen|title=Queens of the Stone Age, Era Vulgaris|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r1069665|pure_url=yes}}|access-date=August 10, 2007|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref><ref name="observerreview">{{cite news|author=Hodgson, Jaimie|date=May 20, 2007|title=Queens of the Stone Age, Era Vulgaris|newspaper=The Observer|location=London|url=http://observer.guardian.co.uk/omm/reviews/story/0,,2080716,00.html|access-date=May 20, 2007}}</ref> Following the album's touring cycle, the band took a break to focus on individual projects, during which Homme continued to produce and create more records outside the band. This break would unintentionally turn into a six-year gap between albums.

In 2010, following his work with rock [[Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] [[Them Crooked Vultures]], Homme began performing more live shows with QOTSA. Following a deluxe reissue of ''Rated R'', a 2011 re-release of their debut album and corresponding tour followed, featuring the album played front to back in the style in which it was recorded. This was the first time many of the songs had been performed live since the album's original release.

On June 4, 2013, after a tumultuous writing and recording process, Queens of the Stone Age released their sixth album, ''[[...Like Clockwork]]'', receiving high praise from critics,<ref>{{cite web|date=June 10, 2013|title=...Like Clockwork Reviews|url=https://www.metacritic.com/music/like-clockwork/queens-of-the-stone-age|website=Metacritic.com}}</ref> as well as topping the Billboard 200 charts. ''...Like Clockwork'' highlights Homme's collaborative recording process and features guests such as [[Elton John]], [[Dave Grohl]], [[Alex Turner (musician)|Alex Turner]], [[Jake Shears]], [[Trent Reznor]], [[Mark Lanegan]], [[Nick Oliveri]] and [[Brody Dalle]].

Their seventh album, ''[[Villains (Queens of the Stone Age album)|Villains]]'', was released in August 2017. The album contains no collaborations other than being produced by [[Mark Ronson]], marking the first time the band has released an album with no featured guests on it.

In 2018, the band was featured on [[Revamp & Restoration|''Revamp'']], a cover album containing various renditions of [[Elton John]] songs, on which they performed "[[Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (song)|Goodbye Yellow Brick Road]]".

The band's eighth album, ''[[In Times New Roman...]]'', was released in June 2023.

===The Desert Sessions (1997–present)===
[[File:Queen of the Stone Edge-Josh Homme-IMG 6571.jpg|thumb|upright=0.75|Homme performing at the 2011 Eurockéennes]]
{{Main|The Desert Sessions}}
Homme founded The Desert Sessions in 1997 at the [[Rancho De La Luna]] in [[Joshua Tree, California]], describing it as a musical collective series "that cannot be defined". He stated, "At Desert Sessions, you play for the sake of music. That's why it's good for musicians. If someday that's not enough anymore, or that's not the reason behind you doing it – that's not your ''raison d'être'' – then a quick reminder like Desert Sessions can do so much for you, it's amazing. It's easy to forget that this all starts from playing in your garage and loving it."{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

The recordings are done "on the spot" in a matter of hours, and the line-up constantly changes, with new contributors being added for each new recording. Artists such as [[PJ Harvey]], [[Jeordie White|Twiggy Ramirez]], [[Dave Catching]], [[Nick Oliveri]], [[Mark Lanegan]], [[Ben Shepherd]], [[John McBain (musician)|John McBain]], [[Josh Freese]], [[Chris Goss]], [[Alain Johannes]], [[Dean Ween]], and many others from the [[Palm Desert Scene]] have contributed to The Desert Sessions recordings.{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

After 11 years of inactivity, Homme revealed in October 2014 that he would start working on more Desert Sessions material the following year.<ref>{{cite web|last=Appleford|first=Steve|date=October 22, 2014|title=Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme Is Our Last Real Rock Star|url=http://www.laweekly.com/westcoastsound/2014/10/22/queens-of-the-stone-ages-josh-homme-is-our-last-real-rock-star?page=3|access-date=April 19, 2018|website=laweekly.com}}</ref> However, things remained silent until May 2019, when Homme posted an image on [[Instagram]] with the [[hashtags]] "#Desert, #Sessions, #11, #12". In September, it was announced that ''Desert Sessions Volumes 11 & 12'' will be released on October 25, 2019.{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

===Eagles of Death Metal (1998–present)===
{{Main|Eagles of Death Metal}}
[[File:20150612-072-Nova Rock 2015-Eagles of Death Metal-Josh Homme.jpg|thumb|Homme playing drums with the [[Eagles of Death Metal]] in 2015]]
In 1998, Homme formed Eagles of Death Metal with friend [[Jesse Hughes (musician)|Jesse Hughes]] as a joke band in the context of the Desert Sessions. Recordings from the band first appeared on ''[[Volumes 3 & 4]]'', released that year. Over the next few years, Hughes settled into family life while Homme focused on Queens of the Stone Age. However, after Hughes' separation from his wife in 2003 and a spurt in creativity that resulted in dozens of songs, Homme convinced Hughes to pursue a full-time music career. Hughes writes, sings, and plays rhythm guitar, while Homme produces, arranges, and plays drums, bass, and various other instruments. So far, the band has released four albums: ''[[Peace, Love, Death Metal]]'' in 2004, ''[[Death by Sexy]]'' in 2006, ''[[Heart On]]'' in 2008, and most recently ''[[Zipper Down]]'' in 2015. Due to his commitments with Queens of the Stone Age and other projects, Homme does not regularly tour with Eagles of Death Metal, but occasionally makes appearances during live performances. In an October 2008 interview, he re-affirmed his commitment to the band saying, "This isn't a side project for me. I'm in two bands. I have musical schizophrenia, and this is one of those personalities."<ref>{{cite web|date=October 30, 2008|title=Eagles of Death Metal Part 1: Joshua Homme|url=http://suicidegirls.com/interviews/Eagles+of+Death+Metal+Part+1%3A+Joshua+Homme/|access-date=October 31, 2008|website=[[SuicideGirls.com]]}}</ref>

Though the band has been inactive for an extended period due to the schedules of its members' other projects, all three of members have expressed interest in returning to the project. On September 3, 2022, they reunited for a performance at [[Wembley Stadium]] in honour of [[Foo Fighters]]' late drummer [[Taylor Hawkins]] and again on September 27 at the KIA Forum for the second Hawkins tribute show. The band covered [[Elton John]]'s "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and Queens of the Stone Age's "Long Slow Goodbye", and also played their songs "Gunman" and "Dead End Friends".
