- Today My good friend Josh Homme returns to the show for a long honest conversation on Music, Life and the Desert.
This man is one of the greatest ever to do it and is definitely a huge inspiration to me and it is an honor to call him my friend.
His music has fueled my drive since the first time I saw him a 100 years ago in Kyuss.
I really really enjoyed this conversation. It's what I live for.
Have a Fantastic week and do yourself a favor and reach out to an old friend of yours and have an old school conversation with them not on Email or Text.

You can hear the pain in Josh’s voice. He’s going through a divorce and custody issues with his ex. You definitely feel for him.
You can . But i like how he shares but keeps it private , classy
I remember having this idea of joshua, thinking he was rude and smug, and I was like "how is he like that but writes all of these amazing words"? But when I started to hear what he has to say, and listening to this and other interviews, I realized how much I got it wrong. When I went to a QOTSA concert, he was really fun and nice with the audience. He is an unique human and a beautiful soul ❤ not to mention the amazing artist! Love joshua
Absolutely! People paint him a certain way that's totally not true - especially in recent years... he's one of the most genuine, down to earth, relatable humans out there!
Hes a teddy bear on speed. A genius really.
Met josh at a bar and he stopped and talked with me for a long time. Love this dude.
if i met you i would stop for you because I AM AMAZING
...Like Clockwork got me through the darkest, most hopeless time in my life about 5 years ago. It still is in the Mt. Rushmore of fave records. I am forever grateful the help.
No doubt man. Same here. It hit me hard in desperate times when I thought my end was very near.
I held off diving into Villains until recently. But I'm really loving it.
Villains is a whole new animal.
oh man same, that record saved my life for sure
@@toynazi villains was awful
@@alelollipop1903 🤣🤣🤣
@@uncledrosselmeyer6480 I thought it was a stretch into pop which is sad but there's always some good guitar work on QOTSA.
My last living hero! Josh breaks down what it's like creating music in a way everyone can understand and relate to. I absolutely love that about him. Such a damn beautiful soul. Great conversation.
Damn Dean, this was just beautiful man, and I don't throw that word around. I've been waiting patiently for Josh to emerge from his personal "journeys". Couldn't have came to a better dude to do it. I've met Josh 3 or 4 times and everytime he A. Renembers me, no bullshit, he actually remembers a fans name??? & B. Treats me with respect & like a human, not a fan that's beneath him. I can't say enough good things about Josh and my GOD...THE FUCKING MUSIC!!! QOTSA nuff said...
They say people with the name Josh and that are 6 foot 4 inches tall are good at remembering people... My name is Josh and I'm also 6 foot 4 inches tall and I'll remember your name forever 😜
KYUSS*, nuff said
As a ginger, how on earth did Josh survive living in the desert? It must be a testament to his powers.
Ha! Being born in South Florida, having naturally tan skin and long dark lucious hair (and having the first name Josh of course!)... I can almost imagine how much it would suck to be a Ginger in the desert. I assume the air conditioning, shade and swimming pools helped Josh along the way 😜 I personally love and embrace the 🌞😎 sun
as a ginger, I had the same thought haha
@@joshuayettou3552 Sweat and freckles, shield of the ginger.
Dude I wonder that same question all the time! Maybe thats why the scorpion got em in the dez. Scorpions hate redheads.
its cos the sun is to scared to cast hot enough rays on Josh that would give him sunburn,,👹👿👹
Josh, you are gold. An inspiration. ❤️ Thank you.
If Josh and Trent ever did a Queens album... the universe would collapse on itself in awe and amazement
They worked together on a song with dave grohl called "mantra" its on the "sound city" dave grohl project.
@@TheBobafett13 And they worked on two qotsa songs. Era vulgaris and kalopsia. Apparently trent was supposed to produce Like clockwork but had prior commitments and couldn't do it.
IMHO, I love them both to death, but musically they are on completely different planets, they don't fit together. When they merged at this award thing, I found it terrible, music wise, and I thought they shouldn't collaborate.
Era Vulgaris is great song, but the sound city Mantra is a different thing, imo exceptionel!!
An album including Trent would ,hopefully, be something that would catch listeners outside of expectations...
I´ve always felt Alain Johannis contributes something special so i´d like him and Trent to be chief "enablers" to Josh, whethers it´s qotsa, CV or a Desert Sessions like project!
Well Trent has sung on 3 Queens songs by my count. A good start.
I love listening to this… I’ve listened a lot of times because when you love an artist because of their music it’s amazing to be able to listen to them relax and talk and just be themselves like Josh is here … you get such a clear view of who he is and how funny and kind and emotionally intelligent he is ❤ thanks Dean ❤
Josh is so classy. Enjoyed listening to this. Thanks 😊
Best podcast ending ever! “I’m gonna have a cig”...
Josh is even innovating interview exits.
Thank you Dean and Josh. That was an absolutely wonderful podcast.
thank you
What an intelligent person. I mean of course he is, look at the music he creates. So intelligent, insightful, deep.. just deep
I wonder if JH recognizes his contribution to music; in the opinion of most of the musically educated, and musicians I know, he and a few others, -like Jack White, - are single handedly responsible for keeping it alive and kicking.No small thing.
Decades down the road, Josh and the Queens are going to be right there in the books, with the Beatles, Stones, and Zeppelin,- having found a way to mentally and musically transition to a new age.
Peace.
Wait, wut? What even is this comment 😳😳😳...? Like, what are we reading? 1) did you seriously just mention jack freaking white within the same sentence as Homme? Seriously? Secondly, homme is known for KYUSS. That’s his legacy, and that’s where he altered the course of rock music. duh. What in gods name are you talking about 🤦🏻♂️😂🤣
So human and honest. Just like two friends shooting the shit. Really appreciate being able to be a fly on the wall for this one.
Spot on about Deer Hunter my friend. I saw that film as a jr high student back in the day, and it changed my life regarding war and Christopher Walken!
What an amazing artist. I'd love to have a conversation with him. I love when he touches on topics of philosophy and meditation and such.such a creative and intelligent human. 🖤
It's all about the process. Deano, you and Josh together?! So great. I love the deep thinking, Thank you so much for doing what you do man.
Josh is a smart and intrepid human being. Lovely soul.
Any time I can get a glimpse into the mind of Josh it’s a true blessing. “Go to floppy and then go up” hahahaha perfect
Thanks Dean!
Thanks for speaking with one of the greats, respect, candles lit from Omak, WA. Cheers!
40:48 propably the coolest reason to play concerts I've heard in a long time. On the Kyuss matter I understand Josh, yet I don't agree. I discovered Kyuss in 2001, 6 years after their demise, and it completely hooked me on the Desert scene. I've seen Qotsa, Brant Bjork, Unida, Hermano, Mondo Generator, Nebula, Fu Manchu, Stöner for several times each and it was great. But the best experience was to see Kyuss lives in 2012 with Scott Reeder on bass. They played for 90mins and I banged with closed eyes the entire concert. To feel tracks like Spaceship Landing, Asteroid or Whitewater was a completely different experience to listen to the albums only. One of the best concert ever and it was actually quite cheap, only 30 bucks. Did I miss Josh? Not at all, but it would have propably been a bit cooler to have him in there too.
It's nice to hear Josh speak about how much Bourdain's death affected him.
They were so perfect together... Their combined love of what they called the 'naughty bits' is just so inspiring....that the nuts and bolts ARE the machine...😭😭😭
Felt and appreciated.You think about someone who had achieved so much, - and had brought his real thoughts with him, - went out that way.It was initially very disheartening, but,- only he was living his life.
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I cried a little.
Hey Dean - increcible interview, man. Josh is a huge inspiration to me as well, musically and his general mindset and outlook on life. The way he talked about Iggy, that is how I would think of him - this huge inspiration that would be a dream to work with. Can't wait for the next time you guys do another shared talk.
Absolutely loved this conversation, thanks Josh and Dean! 🖤
Loved this! Two wow quotes I heard, one about realising you're already doing the thing you're trying to go towards just by being on the journey, and also how feeling bad always is a indicator that you're not doing enough of what you love, and that's always the remedy. Sorry lost the timestamps for anyone who was interested! "You're already in it.." wow #1 "If I'm mentally doing well, I don't want to create something, but the minute I do.. it immediately starts getting better" wow #2
Thanks to you both for this great conversation, really enjoyed it. Could have listened to you guys for hours! 👊👊
Another epic guest & great conversation!!!! Candles lit 🔥 🕯 🔥
...Like Clockwork has been such a tonic for the past year's dystopia
Definitely, a masterpiece
I agree
Bought the vinyl yesterday. Such a great record!
It's as good or at least right up there with Songs for the Deaf. Amazing album.

Interview starts at 6:32 - great conversation with a great artist.
Very cool and interesting interview! don't quit, it's always a great pleasure to listen, thanks
This is truly amazing!!!
Thank you Josh!!! Love ya Man 🤘🔥🤘 I needed to hear that right now.about letting things go..I recently lost 90% of my gear to the pawn shop..by one damn day! They claimed they called the day before..I also had good times and great memories with this gear for years .thank you again ..much love appreciation and respect, sincerely Jakkan
Awesome conversation! I would have loved if you guys had talked more on the topic of Jung.
Okay i'm stuck for one and a half hours now. Homme rocks. Never heard of this podcast though. Delray is a comedian?
Knew i´d find LLM in the comments,LOL!!
Well, we´re all waiting for another release to save us in these times, right....
@@robertpettersen3577 Haha. Once a fan, always a fan. Yes a new album would be great. It's sad to hear that it's gotten harder for him to write stuff over the years though. We can only cross our fingers that Queens or some of his other projects will release something i guess.
Welcome to the club
Yea Homme already came to the podcast before.
@@LieLikesMusic I think it's actually great that the process is more difficult. Things like art or music, if done honestly, are supposed to become more challenging as time goes forward. No artist who's left a brilliant legacy behind has ever done so by repeating themselves.
Dean's interviews are so good!!! Love this podcast
Loved this ... after being a QOTSA fan for years I’ve only just realised the relationship to the O and his knowledge of present hierarchy and him being an ancient being .... I know... I was there too! 💕🌴🌈✨
My version of panning for gold is scrolling UA-cam and finding this.
thanks
What a wonderful conversation but jesus those last 30 minutes was so inspiring!
Great work as usual Dean!
Dean, Hype to listen as always.
Thanks for sharing this. I'm missing the California desert so much. It was amazing to hear you two talk about it.
Keep rocking
Awesome can't wait to hear whatevers next and beyond for Josh and will be checking out Nikki Lane. Great stuff again Dean
Wondering what's that album though
“Rules are always what you can’t do”
Josh should do his own podcast where he just riffs on his own ideas and goes on tangents.
Alligator Hour
Thanks, this was awesome!
Such a GREAT, freakin REAL conversation
great podcast!
Thanks for this
Please tell me there is more to this interview! I could listen to Josh talk forever...
This is the best interview of Jho I've ever heard! Thanks dean
thank you my friend
Great interview!
Hope he's doing good. Seems like he's going through it right now.
The God Homme!
The five years leading up to Covid were the busiest years of my life. I moved abroad, my life fell apart while there, I worked like a lunatic to rebuild it all, finally got the hell out of there, moved back home, lost my Dad, broke up with my wife, and the whole time I was just being pulled along. Now that I've had time to process, I sometimes get overwhelmed at my memories (there was a lot of good stuff in there, not just bad).
I can't imagine what having 30 years of non stop movement to look back on must be like.
This is a great talk.
Mr. Dean, Would love to see the facial expressions of some of these interviews. Keep up the great work!
burr and homme are the wisemen of gingers

@@crucifire9224 but he died in that tragic masturbation accident 😪
Bill joined Josh a couple years ago on his "Alligator Hour" Apple radio show (Apple Music/iTunes) - it's worthy of a listen.
@@startervisions 🤮
Really not sure how I've only just heard this, but it's one of the best Josh interviews I've ever listened to. Nothing to promote, just two mates chewing the fat. The integrity in that 90 mins is off the scale. Just listening to where he's at right now after the last few years he's had makes me really hopeful and excited for the next record. Thank you for this Dean, will definitely be listening to it again
Thank you my friend
@@deandelray Actually pretty painful to hear, but also quite hopeful and so relatable for so many 💓
That's pretty cool.
Great conversation
YES
Hiiiiii from Canada….. ask and you shall receive
Thank you too you both esp mr man ok I’m French Canadian his last name is man homme ….. lol funny too hear lol
But thank you …. Tell him I needed his words sooooo thank you …. Now I’m crying ….. I needed this so much love u guys
FUCK YEAH KYUSS RULES! Get John Garcia or Brant Bjork on! Maybe even Scott reeder! Thank you Dean
It's interesting how Seattle gets most of the credit for being the last great rock scene...prior to the internet...if you really look into it that should be the Desert rock scene...1999 and before
They weren't nearly as popular as the Seattle bands. You couldn't away from those bands for 3-4 years. Constant rotation on MTV and radio
@@allsystemsgo8678 that's what i mean. Seattle gets all the attention. The Desert deserves more of that same exposure
Wasnt Screaming Trees a Seattle or Portland band? Josh was in that scene
@@startervisions does it? it's like our somewhat small, secret club of misfits.
@@alelollipop1903 both
Throw on some kyuss every now and then. So fucking good
perfect

Ive thought like clockwork was queens masterpiece But this next queens album might be the best of all mark my words.
Really impossible at this point. An insane early catalogue, falls off a bit more recently tho. And not in a Zeppelin way where the music was still amazing.
We’ll have to wait and listen.keep rocking.
@@crucifire9224 agreed brother, looking forward to it as always
Me too. But it’s amazing now to listen back to clockwork and to think that he was about to tell everyone else, “if this is the end, let’s get ready for it.” Those tours that followed that I saw a lot of is that josh was so surprised to see the turnout EVERY NIGHT.
@@CarsonBrockOfficial calling all coma’s
“Money is a by-product of working hard and loving what you do”…. is that why Socrates, Edgar Allen Poe, and Vincent Van Gogh were so rich? They all and many more genius artists spent most of their adult lives in poverty. And only rich people claim money doesn’t matter, Josh has either been living off record advances since 18 y/o or enjoyed being rich some years after Deaf. Josh’s anti-religious sentiment is ironic because his outlook is so theological-like.
Good interview. Different kind of insight. Bit of an abrupt ending, though.
Does anyone know the intro song? It sound killer. Great podcast as always!
I care about a 7th record. I want to hear a 7th record.
8th, 9th and 10th too.
just realized this will be 8th actually haha.
@@APAL880 Only thing that sucks is in the 2 interviews, if you can even call them that in the traditional sense, that he's done in the past almost 2 years, this one and the one with Jim Ward, he hasn't really said shit about a new album, but then again he rarely does and usually just drops shit and let the music do the talking, so hopefully that's the case, but I haven't heard anything about new Queens since it was kinda hinted at right before the last Desert Sessions came out, even if it's another 10 years I'll be jamming that shit the day it comes out even if I'm in my 70s.
I WANT THE 7TH FUKING RECORD!!!!!
@@dillinguuur79 lolwut. Literally the only notable homme interview from the past couple years was the Kyuss world one, obviously. Duh
I really love these conversations. But some honest feedback on where the podcast can be found - I have an Android phone, so I can't "close one app and use another". My options to listen to this are Spotify and UA-cam. I can't open an app I can't use on my phone (iTunes) and if I want to listen to your podcast somewhere other than my house where I am on wifi, then that's not an option unless I want to burn through all my data playing it on UA-cam. So I have gone from being a faithful regular listener, to jumping in once every couple of months when I happen to see a guest that I want to hear. You can do what you want, but you're putting up barriers for your audience and limiting your potential to grow it. Anyway, I hope you take this as honest feedback from someone who really likes what you do and not complaining.
Hey man, wanted to offer a possible solution for you; it looks like Dean has all his Eps of the podcast on Soundcloud and I think you should be able to download individual eps from SoundCloud directly to your phone and avoid burning up your data that way. I was one that was kind of bummed when Dean stopped using Stitcher too (it's my preferred podcast app) but I'm sure he had his reasons for doing so. Hope the suggestion helps.
1:30:34 Fuckin thank you so much for getting to this type of conversation. I know Josh doesn’t really like to go there. Priceless.
Wow it ends so suddenly. He took a piss and that was it? Anyways that was lovely!
Being happy is far more important than writing songs, trust me. If that's your concern, then you are just doing it to sustain yourself rather than to express yourself.
3's & 6's = your 7th will be like a first album, starting the pattern of 3's & 6's again
(Sounds good to me because I can't help but want more QOTSA for the rest of my days)
I’m glad to hear Josh is taking better care of himself.
Intelligent conversation about whatever thanks for the friction Dean&Josh.🤘
Fucking amazing listen! Thank you! I felt deflated when it ended.
Josh must have went for that smoke and never came back.....😆
Gary Hat...hahaha
legendary podcast guests! hope there is some Kyuss talk to be found here :D
Josh said on Kyuss World Radio that he’s down for a reunion, and he’s the only one who was ever against it.
@@stoneylonesome4062 didn't know that, cheers.
They prlly wont get back 2gether but lets hope
@@startervisions I think it probably will in one form or another. Josh is the only one who was ever explicitly against the idea. They had Nick on the show about a month after Josh and he said he was down. Arthur Seay from Unida (John’s second band after Kyuss) interviewed Alfredo Hernández back in January and he said he was down. John Garcia seems like he’s moved past the conflict with Josh and Scott Reeder doesn’t seem like he would be against it either. I think the biggest obstacle would probably be Brant’s grudge against Josh.
@@stoneylonesome4062 i'd be so happy...just dont wanna get my hopes up ;)
awesome and i am only 38 minutes in!
@1:00:09 You have to LIVE to have something to say about all that.
I’m glad Josh peppered in the “Gary” bit. He did it on Rogan and Joe was disappointingly not on Josh’s level. Dean and Josh play off each other well.
Joe didn't pick up on any of Josh's puns or anything. He's a DMT addled, meathead caveman. No idea how he got big. "Jamie, pull that up."
@@asong4thedead lol, it was an extremely disappointing episode. I do like Joe Rogan when he is engaged but that wasn’t it. Dean’s episode with Josh and the John Mayer episode were awesome. I would like to listen to an episode of john Mayer and Josh Homme asking each other questions. Different styles of music obviously but they both have a very analytical way of looking at things that would be interesting to hear.
Joe rogan might be popular but when comes to knowing shit when you're dependent on it josh homme is on another level, feels like to me he plays music bcuz he loves it not for any monetary reasons the way it should be to create some original n unique ideas in artistic venture
Ends it on the cig break. XOXOXO
I wrote it somewhere else too Josh, you'll probably not read it but,
In my view you were always lost, from the moment I got into your music.
I would really recommend, if you haven't already, to go down into the earth to your roots. Find out who your ancestors were, what they did, where they are from, and what life is like there.
I've heard you say before you possibly have Norwegian ancestry? So why not for example read Old Norse poems? It's a wonderful mythology that's deeply ingrained with the people who wrote it, your forebears. If I had to recommend any one poem, start with Hávamál, if you're looking for some ropes to latch onto in the dark. That way I'm sure you'll find your footing.
Either way, divorce is a nightmare. But nightmares are a lot less bad when you have some calmness and assurance as a foundation.
You had me at J
Josh just being human and honest as hell
and also a grand beater of his kids
He did not beat his kids you lying jerk he had relationship break up massive difference
What an anticlimactic ending.. :/ Cool interview though. I sure hope they release a new album by next year.. We're about due! ✌️
Lmao qotsa haven’t released a great album since the early 00s
Umm.. You must be high. All their albums are good. It can't always be Songs for the Deaf - Part II ya know. 🙄
😯
Josh and Trent would make for a very interesting album... :)
Who
I love Josh but he's like the riddler of interviews, ya know!
Is there a part 2 ? Josh left for a cigg and it was done . 🤷♀️
I wanna hear some great new Queens songs, people care and want new albums that have some real bangers on it. Raw stipped down and badass always wins and inspires who plays it and who listens. Case in Point : Ace of Spades by Motorhead. First 3 queens records.
...Like Clockwork is up there with Songs for the Deaf.
I actually put Like Clockwork as QOTSA’s Dark Side of the Moon. It’s an incredible record.
Masterpiece
The best record they’ve done. Like clockwork is the album i discovered them with
I dig Clockwork but Songs For the Deaf is just on another level in my opinion. The flow and songwriting/melodies are just addicting.
no
6:30 Josh starts
And it just ends
