QOTSA Brotherhood

Troy Van Leeuwen spoke with Beat magazine about his creative relationship with Queens of the Stone Age bandmate Josh Homme. “I’ve had a lot of working relationships with a lot of people,” he said, “but in Queens it seems there’s some sort of brotherhood that goes along with it. That’s pretty special. He and I have a playful, challenging, musical relationship where we’re always trying to one-up each other, and inevitably, he wins; but, then, I let him win sometimes,” He says with a deep chuckle. “But it’s a really good exchange, and I hope we can continue making records as long as possible.”
