However, as QOTSA closed their set with ‘Song For The Dead’, Homme decided to go against the stadium’s rules. He told the crowd in an impassioned speech: “Don’t let these fuckin’ corporate assholes tell you what to do, do whatever the fuck you want.
Fuck that shit. You paid for parking, and you’re paying for overpriced drinks, these fucking scalpers. Fuck having some corporation tell you what the fuck to do, you guys do what you want!”.
He went on to add: “And fuck Flock cameras too”.
Foo Fighters had just kicked off their ‘Take Cover’ tour with QOTSA in Toronto on the August 4.
It was QOTSA’s first outing in North America since their orchestral ‘Catacombs’ tour in April and May.
Homme and co. played an 11-track hits-packed show including the likes of ‘In My Head’, ‘I Sat By The Ocean’, ‘Go With The Flow’ and ‘No One Knows’.
Prior to the tour, Foos frontman Dave Grohl explained why he was taking QOTSA on tour with them, explaining that it was to honour their “lifelong bond”. “What better way to share the view than with close friends.
In 1992 I first saw the legendary Kyuss perform at the Off Ramp in Seattle and met Mr. Josh Homme. The band were friends of a friend, and before long their album ‘Blues for the Red Sun’ became the soundtrack to that summer.
33 years later and with many miles behind us, I have shared some of my life’s most rewarding musical moments with my dear friend, Josh,” he said.
The tour will last until September – see all dates below and buy any remaining tickets here.
