Queens Of The Stone Age’s Josh Homme has discussed his requests for when the band are on tour, and revealed the “strangest” things he has on his rider.The topic arose during a recent appearance from the frontman on the Dish From Waitrose podcast, where he looked back at the band’s extensive run of tour dates and fan response to their most recent work.In the discussion, Homme was asked about what he requests on his rider when the band hit the road, before revealing that being the headliner at a major festival allows him to get away with some pretty unorthodox choices.“I always say that elitism sucks, when I’m not included,” he joked with hosts Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett. “I think over the years, one of the things that keeps you young, other than injections, is to have a good sense of humour.
So, as the years have gone on, and we had access to more and more outrageous requests being honoured, it starts to make you ask for strange things.”He continued: “For a while, I used to ask for chocolate-covered ants and a map of Ireland to be put on the wall.
People would ask me, ‘Josh, why do you have chocolate-covered ants and a framed map of Ireland?’, and I would say, ‘Wouldn’t you like to know, mind your damn business’.”While Homme’s list is far from the usual supermarket snacks and drinks that artists usually request, it seems like the choices are more of an experiment to see just how far he can push his luck rather than out of any serious demand.It is also relatively straightforward in comparison to some others.
