Queens Of The Stone Age are one of the world’s hardest hitting rock bands, a status they affirmed when I watched them rock my city’s downtown amphitheater this past summer. But in the recent concert film Alive In The Catacombs, QOTSA showed off their softer side. Recorded in the Catacombs beneath Paris just before Queens pulled the plug on their 2024 tour due to Josh Homme’s health, the project presented acoustic versions of songs from throughout their catalog. Now Homme and friends are taking that version of the band on tour, complete with symphonic strings.
