Fan feels Josh Homme's fury

Tue 17th Jun, 2008 in International News

Last weekend at Oslo’s Norwegian Wood festival, Josh Homme of Queens Of The Stone Age gave a bottle-throwing punter a piece of his own medicine by pegging the projectile right back at him. The fiery frontman singled out the culprit down below, giving him a verbal fleecing and demanding security pull him out of the mosh.

“Do me one favour,” Homme barked prior to the incident. “Don’t throw any shit at me. If you throw something at me I’m not so sick that I can’t go down there and beat the fucking shit out of you. I may have a fucking 102 temperature and I’ve been puking for two days, but I’ll still butt-fuck you in front of your friends.”

His stern advice went unnoticed, with the foolhardy delinquent taking it as a cue to peg something. “Hey, you with the fucking hat on,” rants Homme in the video below. “Hey, pussy. Turn around you fucking pussy with the black hair. Turn the fuck around you chicken shit fucking faggot. Hey, you. You fucking pussy motherfucker. I will fuck you up.” And on it goesÃ¢â‚¬Â¦until the singer picks up the offending bottle and fires it at the “chicken shit fucking faggot” in question.

Release your rage vicariously with this (professionally filmed) video of Homme’s rant.

And who could forget the other musician with a hardball approach to antisocial fans – Mr Fan Thrower himself, Akon!

A perfect response! Dickheads in the crowd must be subjected to their own medicine. Kudos to Mr Homme.

Reminds me of the "Hey cocksmoker eat a bag of dicks" comment on their DVD. Maybe he went a bit overboard though.

Er, no, Brendon didn't deserve it.
What was even better is that he didn't retaliate and kept on doing the set.

For the record, the Akon one was a stunt.

Eh,normally I'd agree but if Josh was sick and the little turd threw something at him he deserves everything he got.

The sad part is the kid will probably keep being a douche.

Are you sure it was a stunt?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but I looked it up on his Wiki entry and yeah, it was.

JackT

JackT said on the 17th Jun, 2008

Nah, I was being sincere. Can you send me the link of where it says it was a stunt? I'm intrigued, cause all I can find is that he was due to go to court because the girl who was hit by the flying boy got injured. CAN'T YOU SEE HOW MUCH I CARE ABOUT EVERY DETAIL OF AKON'S LIFE!

well i can't say his choice of words are acceptable, but say you were sick for 3 days, you come out on stage to do your thing
drugged up on anti-vomit tablets and still feeling like shit

then some dickhead throws something at you right after you've said "don't do it cos you will pay for it"

i know i'd yell the same thing over and over in the spur of the moment just cos i'd be so pissed off that i couldn't think of anything else to say

and lets face it; the kid was a bit of a pussy
even his mates didn't have his back

and it's josh homme man
you gotta expect a reaction if you take him on
props to you mr homme, teaching the fuckwits a lesson they have long deserved

i love the look on joey castillio's face bahaha
check out the start of "burn the witch" on the "Over the years and through the woods" DVD (end of "Little Sister" on the CD) if you wanna see some more "Homme Love"

peace

AHHA: What about the incident where you threw that kid in the crowd?

Akon: Actually, it�s funny as all that was staged. [laughs] It really got silly, like the media was reporting that I was getting charged for attempted murder. Seriously I felt like, �What the hell is going on here?� Honestly, if that was something that really happened, they would have locked me up on the spot. There�s no way you can pull something like that and walk away when you have the whole police department guarding the show.

There was literally twenty thousand people out there, and I was the headliner and we had used the police department out there for security. People don�t take the time to really think about what they are reporting. It didn�t make sense.

AHHA: Why did you decide to pull the staged stunt anyway?

Akon: [laughs] It was to set up the next record. It was crazy as people were coming to my shows thinking, �Ok what is he going to do next?� People know me for doing crazy things, but even this kind of thing, I�m going to cut out in the future as people are taking it in a negative way and taking it seriously.

it's a shame that it was staged...just when i was gaining respect for rap and "rnb" cos it seemed as though they were as tough as they talked...

back to zero...

Are you fucking serious?
Akon is not the be-all-and-end-all of rap. Or rnb, for that matter.

Have you ever heard of Public Enemy? Ice T? Tupac? Notorious B.I.G?

silent_drummer

silent_drummer said on the 20th Jun, 2008

oh in know, but still, at least he was doing something about the state that the two genres are currently in

and don't get me started on what kids these days call "rnb"

i should have called it house straight out cos that's what it is
many apologies

Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; & red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic... I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him... how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake... You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog... (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hicks once suggested: - forgive me-. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us... Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.
