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 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.
