Did you ever cook 4900 pounds of spaghetti, and fill every piece of clothing that you own with it?
Well that doesn't even begin to describe the debacle I've gotten myself in... or rather the debacle I got my bandmates in.
Hello boys and girls, my name is Joshua Homme. I'm from Queens of the Stone Age and I'm here to talk to you about team spirit.
Now you might ask yourselves, "What is team spirit and how does it affect me?" Well, allow me to 'splain some salsa to ya.
But first let me back up a bit for a sec. I said I've gotten my bandmates in a debacle and that's what I did. The last time I saw my bandmates was at the set of the music video we were shooting for our song called "The Vampyre of Time and Memory." What my bandmates didn't know at the time was that I made a pact with the real Vampyre of Time and Memory to ensure the success of our latest album, "Like Clockwork." I promised him a prized possession of mine in return: Patrick Swayze's autographed jacket. But I didn't feel like parting with that old wonderful thing after all. So the Vampyre surprised me by stealing all of my bandmates and holding them for ransom until I pay up. The problem is, we, Queens of the Stone Age, have got a show booked for this whole weekend. And nobody respects our fans more than your man Homme here.
That's why I've got find temporary, worthy replacements for Queens of the Stone Age for this show, and that's where you come in: Here's your chance to carry the prestigious title of "Ersatz Queen of the Stone Age" for this weekend!
I'll keep singing lines from different Queens of the Stone Age songs in this thread, and depending on what your role is, you're going to back me up musically. Here's how:
1. If you play the keyboard, guitar, or bass, you'll write the chords that go along with the lyrics I post by replying, but only whenever I call out for you. With each post of lyrics I will individually call out either for guitar or bass or keyboard. (Ignore the fact that bass doesn't usually play chords, the bassist requires to post chords anyway.)
You better make yourself acquainted with our songs, man, or at least with using google and searching for "lyrics" and "chords," and sites like azlyrics and ultimate-guitar dot com.
2. If you sing second lead vocals, check whether a line I posted is from a song sung by Mark Lanegan, and, if so, reply to my post and finish singing the song's lyrics (in one single post). How will you know which songs are sung by Mark Lanegan? I'm pretty sure he only sang songs on the "Songs for the Deaf" album (oh, and one song on the "Rated R" album), and its Wikipedia page has a nifty overview of the tracklisting and of who sang lead vocals on which songs.
3. If you play the drums, post a photo of the actual QotSA drummer (any of them will do) playing the drums whenever we get to a new song, by replying to my respective posts (each post with a different photo).
4. If you are Bulby, the cartoon character we invented to be our band mascot to sell our records, all you gotta do is fangirl and keep fangirling over the awesome power of our songs as we play them. You've got to cheer on at least five songs for full points.
5. If you play the piano AKA if you are Sir Elton John, you only have one song you need to participate in. Find out on which song the Queens collaborated with Elton John, and post a (decently recorded) video of a live performance of the song by Queens of the Stone Age, by replying to my future post containing the lyrics from said song.
6. If you are the Vampyre of Time and Memory, get yourself your own Patrick Swayze memorabilia and leave my autographed jacket alone! Also post a picture(s?) of your new-found, autographed Swayze swag on Sunday and release my bandmates, you monster.
Here's the list in which you will find what role YOU will have to play to earn full points in this weekend task:
Pen aka Pen Van Leeuwen - Keyboard
Bee aka Bee Fertita - Guitar
Tryina aka Tryina Shuman - Bass
Liz aka Betsy Castillo - Drums
Pandora aka Pan Lanegan - Second Lead Vocals /Mark Lanegan
Lucas aka Bulby - Bulby
MisterM aka Sir Elton John - Piano (featured guest artist)
Bandit aka/ - Vampyre of Time and Memory
That's why we're going to need team spirit. Don't wait, and spring into action. And action is what you need, because life is a journey. You've got to live to be alive. You've got to discover the journey. And that life needs action. And that action is you.
Give you and your loved ones the eargasm you deserve.
I'm Joshua Homme, and we're Queens of the Stone Age.
