Dave Grohl has labelled Queens Of The Stone Age as ‘the baddest rock and roll band in the world’ after rejoining Josh Homme and co. for their new album.

When describing how the aura surrounding the band means ‘people stop and stare’ when they walk onto a festival site, Grohl also elaborated further on his recording sessions with QOTSA, and appeared to suggest there will be some pretty hardcore drumming on his part when work on the record is completed.

“With Queens of the Stone Age there were no boundaries with that band, there were no limits with them, it was like if you did something insane, you’d do more,” he told BBC Radio 1’s Zane Lowe.

“And honestly – the new Queens of the Stone Age record – I’m playing drums on that, and I’ll do something so completely ridiculous I’ll be just like, ‘There’s no way that that Josh is going to let me do that’, and he’ll say, ‘Do that for 45 seconds, over and over again, that’s become, like, part of the song, that is a big part of the song’, and that’s the way they work.”

Josh Homme revealed Grohl had gotten back on board with the US heavyweights earlier this month when also talking with Zane Lowe:

“Grohl and I have this wonderful musical relationship which we don’t have with other people,” he said. “It’s a very cool and comfortable position.”
