3 for Josh Homme.
Auckland Big Day Out. Early 2000's. QOTSA blew the PA on the main stage and you chucked a spazz. You then returned to play on a side stage to close the festival. Was that your best gig ever?
In a photo shoot in Australia with Tony Mott ( Ronnie Woods doppelgänger ) QOTSA posed liked a boy band. When I remarked on this to your face you proceeded to soundcheck through my scheduled TV interview drowning out everything an out of it Nick Oliveri had to say. What's the riders thing you've done as a rockstar?
You and Dave Grohl are my man crush subjects.
Who is yours?
Love your work big guy.

Your Mrs made a brilliant rock record in Spinnerette, and when I was looking through the notes, I was expecting to see you name as "produced by" or "featuring on guitar", it sounds like your fingerprints are all over it. Did you deliberately steer clear, or did you want to be involved? Did she do some writing with you, or did she steal some of your pedals when you weren't looking?!

Hi! would SFA ever consider doing shows where you play a full record? you've got so many classic records. If you announced dates, where you say, played "Phantom Power," or "MWNG" (or any of them!) in full, i would be....beyond happy.
also, how about one off shows where you do mellow, amazingly melodic acoustic sets! and you could broadcast them online...ugh - point is, we need more of you!
