Queens of the Stone Age recently recorded a track for an upcoming compilation to be released in support of Amnesty International, a global movement of more than 3 million supporters, members, and activists who campaign to end grave abuses of human rights. Release details are to be announced.

 

Queens of the Stone Age were jabbed by comedian Zach Galifianakis at his stand-up show in Los Angeles at Largo at the Coronet on Wednesday night.

The band reportedly called Galifianakis' manager for free tickets, which landed them prime seats to a sold-out show of 270 fans.

"Can we get tickets?," Galifianakis mocked the band. "Let me Google them and see who the fuck they are! I don't know you motherfuckers!"

At one point, Galifianakis pulled frontman Josh Homme onstage for a humorous Q&A session.

A complete review of the show can be found over at Entertainment Weekly.

 

Former Queens of the Stone Age and current Kyuss Lives! bassist Nick Oliveri has been charged with four felonies after a standoff with a S.W.A.T. team in Los Angeles last month, and now faces up to 15 years in prison, reports TMZ.

Oliveri was booked on felony domestic violence on July 12th, following a fight with his girlfriend.

Police found a fully-loaded rifle after searching his home, along with cocaine and methamphetamines.

Oliveri is charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance with a firearm, two counts of possession of a controlled substance, and one misdemeanor count of resisting, obstructing or delaying a peace officer.

If convicted, he faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.

 

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme will make an appearance on the August 8th "US Desert" episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. A preview of the episode is below.

 

Former Queens of the Stone Age and current Kyuss Lives! bassist Nick Oliveri got into an intense standoff with a S.W.A.T. team at his L.A. home last night, where police found a high-powered loaded rifle, reports TMZ.

Police were called to the home after a neighbor called 911 to report a "disturbance" between Oliveri and his girlfriend.

The girlfriend reportedly told police that he struck her during an argument the day prior, and came to the house to collect her stuff so she could move out.

Oliveri locked themselves inside the duplex, refused to allow police inside the residence, and would not let the girlfriend leave.

A S.W.A.T. team was called to the scene, as a standoff ensued. Oliveri let the girlfriend go after two hours, and turned himself over two hours following.

Police found a high powered, fully loaded rifle at the residence after searching the home.

Oliveri was booked on felony domestic violence, and has since been released after posting $100,000 bail.
