How did you end up on the new Queens Of The Stone Age album?
"I've known those guys for a long time. I was a huge fans of the first Queens album andjokingly, when asked what was my greatest disappointment of 2001 I said that I hadn't beenasked to play on their record. So they were nice enough to ask when it came time to makeanother record. One thing we have in common is a love of early Black Flag. In one of the songsthat we recorded - I think it's called 'Song For The Dead' there's a nod to an early Black Flagrecord: the drum riff is me paying tribute to Bill Stevenson." - Dave Grohl, August 2001 issue ofNME

| about Mark Lanegan
|
| Early last month, erstwhile Screaming Tree Mark Lanegan decided to join his pals in Queens ofthe Stone Age for their current European tour, which kicks off Saturday (June 2) in the Netherlands. According to Lanegan's then-manager Greg Werckman, the moody singer onlyplanned to sing a few numbers with the band, then pack up at the end of June and return toL.A. to concentrate on a new project with former Afghan Whig Greg Dulli. But the plans havechanged. Not only has Lanegan engaged the services of new manager Brian Klein, but it nowappears that he's joined the Queens army for "at least a year," according to insiders. While noone is saying whether he'll become a permanent member of the band, he will appear on theband's next album, which it will begin recording in July. "It looks like Mark will sing three of foursongs, Josh [Homme] will sing three or four songs, and Nick [Oliveri] will sing two or three." - by Jaan Uhelszki, 2001/05/31
