The Inspiration behind Josh Homme Rocking Career

When you think about Josh Homme, an image of a
tall red-haired man embellished with rings along
with a teddy-boy haircut matching his strong
demeanor comes into your mind. A California
desert native, Josh Homme radiates a cool
cowboy-like look and a swagger that reflects the
environment in which he grew up.

Josh Homme has done it all as a musician. Josh
started his career as the guitarist and
co-founder of stoner rock legends Kyuss when he
was fourteen. After the disbandment of the
quartet in 1995, the singer made his
career-defining impact on the music world. Kyuss
was a highly respected band in their way and had
a massive influence in the stoner rock genre.
Josh toured with grunge legends Screaming Trees
after Kyuss. Besides, in 1996, Homme established
his pet project Queens of the Stone Age.

With QOTSA, Josh made a considerable impact on
modern rock music, cultivating a respected
aesthetic and sound. In several ways, a
supergroup, the band featured Joey Castillo, Nick
Olivieri, Mark Lanegan, and Dave Grohl. The most
influential group in the past twenty-five years,
Queens of the Stone Age, has a style that
encompasses hard rock, metal, and stoner rock,
all with a dash of the experimental.

QOTSA, the brainchild of Josh Homme, is an
ever-changing force, with an incredible live show
to match. Packed with interesting dynamics,
punchy riffs and Joshs signature overdriven
guitar tone, it is not a wonder that they have a
huge legion of dedicated fans.

• Besides Hommes work with Queens, he had produced
  several albums with other artists such as Iggy
  Pop and Arctic Monkeys. The hazy third album of
  Arctic Monkeys in 2009 was widely attributed as
  the opus where the band began to mature and
  started finding themselves. It was largely
  credited to the sonic influence of Josh Homme.
  Moreover, the 2016 Post-Pop Depression of Iggy
  Pop was augmented by the sinister psychedelia
  that Josh had perfected his entire prolific
  career.
