QOTSA Vs Interscope
12/06/2007
.
(Punknews.org) More complaints have surfaced
from yet another Interscope-signed artist. This time, Josh Homme of Queens
of the Stone Age who joins Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails and And You
Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead as disenchanted members of the Interscope
family.
In the interview, Josh pulled no punches:
F**k the labels man, they suck. The last thing they're stripping down is
their own expense accounts and sh*t. I mean, Jimmy Iovine of Interscope
records takes a private jet or rides first class to tell a band they don't
get tour support. You know what I mean? F**k that s***, I'm tired of it.
[Our] American label's f**king us like crazy, so f**k them.
Why should I not say anything, what am
I afraid of? I'm not afraid of them. One of the things most notable about
us is how we work. You could not like the music, you can do anything you
want, but we work and there's no changing that fact. And all I want to
do is what we agreed upon. - Another
example of why rap labels and rock artists do not mix. On the other hand,
the label's rock publicist seems to really be behind the new CD. Imagine
how mad Josh would be if they had been stuck with one the inept people
that work rap PR there! - read the full interview with Josh
