Josh Homme was concentrating on the mantra of ‘make your last record your best record’ as he worked on the follow-up to Queens Of The Stone Age‘s 2013 LP Like Clockwork.
“At the end of the day, this is just a musical way to explain a lifetime,” Homme told New Zealand’s The Rock FM (via NME). “So the most important record I’m making is the one I’m working on. For the lack of a better term, I bet my life on it.”
“If you don’t risk anything, you’re not gonna get anything. I don’t want to copy myself, I just want to take another chance at it. It keeps it always exciting that way.”
He’ll have to go some to top Like Clockwork which climbed to number one in the US on its way to landing various nominations at the Grammys.
