Reuniting With Queens of the Stone Age Bassist 'Was Easy,' Josh Homme Says Working with Nick Oliveri was easiest part of recording new LP

Reuniting with original bassist Nick Oliveri was one of the easiest things about making Queens of the Stone Age's new album, . . . Like Clockwork, leader Josh Homme told MTV.

"Nick and I have been friends since a couple weeks after everything went down," Homme said, referring to the bassist's firing from the band in 2004. "People don't know that, and it would be awkward for me to run around making sure everyone knew it."

Homme continued, "Nick recorded his new record at my studio, and then he was going to drop off some records and he said 'Hey, need anyone to sing backup?' And I was like 'Actually, yeah, come on in.' It's that causal, and that's a nice thing. It was easy. It's nice to know someone since you were a little kid, and still know them."

Working with his childhood friend was one of the smoothest things about the tumultuous process of recording . . . Like Clockwork, the band's first LP in six years, Homme said. "We'd have these great victories and then something would go south for a bit, and we'd go, 'It's like clockwork!' I think a sick sense of humor is what's always been our preservation mechanism, so this time, we're using that sick sense of humor for a title."

. . . Like Clockwork is due out June 4th, and now you can check out the official version of album cut "My God Is the Sun," which the band first performed live at Lollapalooza Brazil last month. Along with Oliveri, the new album also includes collaborations with Elton John, Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor, and Scissor Sisters frontman Jake Shears.

Too few albums.

what.

They have too few albums out. Wish there were more of them.

That's what.

^Basically, although that could appear to be dismissive. It totally isn't.

[Gods' Die]

Man, I have such a hard time seeing how their first album could be ranked first in anything but a list of chronology. Yet there's a couple of people here that say it's miles above anything else they've ever done. Crazy how different listeners can have such a disconnect, I don't hear it at all.

It's like I hacked your account.

The first album fights with the third all the time for my favorite.

Guys my anticipation for this album is starting to boil over. I went on a Queens tear this morning after really not listening to them much the past few years. I was unable to sit still, feet tapping, hands drumming on the desk and head bobbing. Can't Waaaaaaaait!
