Though he's drumming on their new record, Dave Grohl told New York's 101.1 WCBS-FM that he won't be touring with Queens of the Stone Age when they hit the road behind the upcoming album. But Them Crooked Vultures, his group with QOTSA leader Josh Homme and Led Zeppelin's John Paul Jones, may tour again. "It was one of the highlights of my life when John Paul Jones said, 'Now I've been in two great bands.' That was a huge deal for me!" said Grohl. "We've talked about it, I know that someday we'll get back together and do stuff, because we love playing with each other."

Trent Reznor and former bassist Nick Oliveri are also contributing to the forthcoming Queens of the Stone Age record.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
