Yesterday evening the Queens of the stone age performed a kick-ass gig in Antwerp. I was looking forward to finally see them in an inside setting in stead of on festivals (I’ve seen them 3 times before) and my patience has been rewarded.
They only played for about an hour and a half, but it was such a powerfull and intense set that I couldn’t blame them 
. Hit singles such as No one knows, Go with the flow, Little sister and the crazy rockin’ tunes from Feel Good Hit Of The Summer arose a musical blast among the enthusiastic audience. But QOTSA classics such as A song for the dead, Burn the witch and In the fade caused a lot of “dance-your-shoes-to-pieces” moments as well 
.
The songs from the new cd were also very popular: 3’s & 7’s, Make it witchu and Sick sick sick were already singles in Belgium. But also the very dancable Battery Acid and the melodic Turnin on the screw were justly praised…
Moreover the highlights of the evening weren’t merely musical. At one moment a crowdsurfer managed to get ON STAGE for about 4 seconds after which he jumped off the stage into the audience again. Homme could appreciate this rock-and-roll behavior and this guy has the eternal respect of all QOTSA-fans
And finally I must add: Josh Homme is sooooo charismatic. He is a true frontman of a true classic rockin’ band!!
We were in the same place, breathed in the same air; we saw QOTSA!

“charismatic”? you mean hot & sexy :p
Well yes, that’s what I meant but I’m trying to keep this blog a bit dignified
I flew into Amsterdam on Saturday (from Canada) to visit a friend there. On Sunday, on a whim, my friend and I hopped on a train to Antwerp hoping we could find tickets to the concert. We were successful and had a freaking blast. They were fantastic. My friend has a couple of videos from the concert posted on youtube
I agree with both Kelly and Katrien. Josh is charismatic AND hot and sexy.
