Faceplams: I was never a huge fan of Joey. Dave is the true drummer for this band. Him and Jho have a good musical connection. I'd like to see Dave do this as a permanent gig.

Squeal like a pig.
A little sad that Joey has left, he is a seriously badass drummer, although of course... Dave Goddamn Grohl is back...
If you've seen Back & Forth, the Foos doc, you'll know that Dave almost joined QOTSA full time when he played with them last. He loves it, and it'll probably mean he'll tour. Goddamn, Troy, Dean, Dave, Mikey and Josh. That's just the perfectly amalgamation of a bunch of my favourite bands right there.
edit: Full lineup I just said is confirmed, but that looks like a weird way to record... definitely in the mixing sessions now (and imho, a weird way to mix)

Qotsa > foos
I don't hate foos, but they are pretty dull. Singles band. More or less everything else Grohl does is better. It's odd? So yeah, best qotsa era for me was circa 2002, happy to see foos sidelined in favour of a slight return to that era

Why did he leave? Was he forced out for Grohl?

Man, I am bummed Joey's gone (thank you Joey for ten amazing years), but Grohl is the ONLY alternate choice.

Joey was a great drummer for this band. Wonder why he left. But yeah, Dave is more than a formidable replacement. Songs For the Deaf should be proof enough.

This probably explains the "extended hiatus" Dave was referring to at that Last Foo's show. I'm excited for this album now, but like everyone I'll miss Joey. He was a sweetheart and a beast on drums.
Saul Williams fan.
Great news! Also, Josh reunited with Oliveri this year for the latest Mondo Generator album. It's all coming back together!
Squeal like a pig.
REALLY?! I find that hard to believe, y'know, especially with the whole Nick being a total woman-beating douchebag and getting arrested for holding his partner hostage thing...
If that is true, I may have lost a little respect for Josh
Saul Williams fan.
I couldn't believe it, either. He is listed as a contributor, along with John Garcia (before the whole lawsuit over the Kyuss name) and Blag Dahlia (who Josh beat the shit out of once). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_Comes_To_Your_Heart

If anyone cares to hear Nick's side of the story, they can check out the interview Antiquiet did with him.
I don't expect he will ever rejoin Queens — that would be a colossally huge blunder — but it is good to see that Josh is standing behind him after a lot of misunderstanding and unfounded rumours. I'm as guilty as anyone is for buying into them; but ultimately, it didn't affect my opinion of Nick's musicianship (which is still lower than most fans' is, though I liked his non-screaming vocals).

Sorry if I'm being daft, but where is the interview (or link) on this page? I feel like I'm looking at a magic eye puzzle

I don't see any interview or link to it on that page, either.
But here's a link to the interview on youtube:

I respect his reasons for leaving Kyuss, but... on other matters he is fairly evasive & I feel like I've known enough shifty people in my time to know when something is up
but he does seem very different, I believe him when he says the penny has dropped

You can add Trent to this now. Vocals I am guessing?? Josh, Dave and Trent. Can't wait....uh...
Member
Josh, Dave, and Trent... that's a musical orgasm.
Stubby Member
After all these shenanigans, this album better deliver. In a big way.

I hope Trent's contribution involves more than a noisy fruity loop.

Was this never posted? It's been up since November 6.
i'm too thin
When I first saw that, and saw "TR IZ", I thought to myself "Wait, could that mean..." Then I figured it was just a nickname for Troy or something. But this news of Trent joining for a track, I was pleasantly surprised. Even more stoked for this album.Was this never posted? It's been up since November 6.

Please don't ruin a QOTSA song with Fragile era guitar drones, Trent. I loved that sound when it came out, but you've beaten it so far into the ground it's melting from the heat of the earth (in a bad way). If you're going to endlessly recycle stuff, why not revisit that vicious razor guitar sound from Broken? You know, back when you played more than one note every two measures?
Throbbing Member
I hope this ends up with Dave on the new nails album too.

Fixed that for you.

Likes for the both of you

Grohl is always welcome on some NIN as far as I'm concerned, and J. Ho is overdue for an appearance! TR is about to make his 2nd QOTSA cameo, and Josh's contribution to Year Zero (backing vox on 'In This Twilight'? is that right?) is forever entombed, so get on it, Homme!
I can't believe Grohl is recording drums for the next Queens LP (Song for the Deaf remains my album of choice). Touring with the band is a whole other fun discussion, but as far as the album is concerned, my excitement probably went up 50% based on that news alone.
Squeal like a pig.
The idea of Trent playing with QOTSA seemed so unfathomable to me, I did assume it was Troy...
...it also made me think that (ah, ha ha, please let this be true so I can go YES!) Trent may play guitar for them full time. Wild concept.
