Queens of the stoneage: Josh Homme humiliates kid at Norwegian festival
Posted: 16 Jun '08, 12:56
Word reached us today, by the power of LOL and the DrownedinSound message boards, that Josh Homme doesn’t like it when you repeatedly throw things at his head. Especially when he’s trying to put on a show at a Scandinavian festival.
The title does enough explaining – click play and watch Homme unravel in a righteous hail of expletives.

yeah
that's better.
-
Where's the credit
Kharas?
-
This. Is. Total. Win.
<3 so much
-
-
i seriously
never think i'll get over how cool that was
-
sometimes, youtube is a good thing.
usually it's bad. But now it's good.
-
Is Josh Homme the new Anton Newcombe?
on this display...yes
-
-
-
Absolutely incredible
Reminds me of that Million Dead live video where some guy throws a beer on stage and Frank Turner makes him come on stage and lick it off the cymbals
-
-
-
I had a better video than that
That showed the whole incident but it's been taken down
-
-
-
Yeah but Turner was a bit too posh to sound frightening in that vid
Homme has his about-to-kick-off voice perfected
-
-
I love it when rockstars act like rockstars
throwing stuff is wrong. Kick up a storm in the pit/jump around if you've got aggro, rather than take it out on the band.

nice picture
i can't see the video but the picture will do.
-
damn you work!
i can't watch youtube stuff here :'(
-
-
fucking vile band
he deserves to be shot. what an arrogant homophobic fucker. people will clap and cheer at anything. utterly shite band anyway.
-
Mm..kay
but you rate Get Cape, Wear Cape Fly an 8 out of 10. And if he is isn't anything but utterly fucking abysmal then I don't know what is.
-
-
"oh right, we will have that cheque for playing back then"
"no you faggotting wont you faggot!"
-
awesome
it's fair enough really, when signing up for the "rock star's contract" there's nothing there that says you have to stand around and have stuff thrown at you
-
I can't decide whether this is really cool or the lamest thing ever.
Singer of rock band+audience of thousands vs one possibly drunk kid who through a beer or something
what a big man. The wee guy crying made me sad though. Still pretty funny.
And this is where equivocation gets you.
-
-
How would you know?
It blurs hugely whenever his face is shown...
-
maybe he had got so upset that he
had his own face up and the cameras couldn't show it?
-
-
-
-
Lost a fair bit of respect...
...for Mr Homme on this one.
Latent homophobia in his comments aside, scoring cheap shots off some kid with an army of fans to back you up is a fairly piteous way to conduct yourself.
Fair enough, folks who throw stuff at bands are knob-ends but a simple (and infinitely more classy) aside motioning to security to remove him would have sufficed.
But then, we would have been denied the RAWK AND ROLL! spectacle of threats of physical violence and general cliched twattish frontman behaviour from someone I would have credited with more character til now.
-
Absolutely pathetic.
What a complete loser that man is. His vocabulary is dreadful. His insults are laughable. And his behaviour is worse.
I'd have thrown something at him, maybe, but all that abuse? Super sad.
"Dickless fuckin' cunt."
Awful.
-
You wouldn't say that to his face though.
Would you?
-
?
what the fuck has that got to do with anything? are you some kind of cretin that will go along with any sort of behaviour by people who you assume could beat you up? you ought to be ashamed of yourself. yeah, this cunt is cool, cos he could beat me up. well, in that case, you deserve all the beatings you get. i bet he's all talk anyway, some fucking rich LA twatface playing tired rockstar cliched riffs. wankers.
-
...
without wanting to sound angry in any conceivable way of course! i do find it very odd though how kids look up to moronic aggressive talentless americans.
-
-
-
I'm not condoning this by the way...
and my first post was most certainly sarcastic, but there is no excuse for throwing shit at bands.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Yeah...
... his choice of language is questionable but I'm going to let it slide because:
a.) His previous conduct and history shows he is clearly not homophobic.
b.) He is clearly ill and very angry and therefore most likely not thinking straight.
c.) He is a rock star, not a fucking politician.
No mercy for bottle throwing twats.

a-
-men

while i appreciate
that having stuff thrown at you is annoying, that is totally unprofessional and somewhat foolish.
What I liked far more is the fact that the security team winched the dumb kid out the crowd to see his fate.
-
Yeah...
thats the best thing.
The security seem to have no regard for the kids security.
-

-
Actualolz
Drummer didn't look that comfortable about it though...
-
That
wasn't really that interesting. Slow news day huh?
-
does anyone here
actually like having stuff thrown at them? i'd be pissed off too. The kid did it because he thought he could get away with it. He didn't.
-
he is a
bad ass mother hubbard
