Josh Homme
Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme was an unlikely hard rock frontman. Indeed, the lanky Homme began his career purely as a guitarist, content to let others take the spotlight. However, after playing in the critically acclaimed -- but commercially negligible -- stoner-metal band Kyuss in the early 1990s, Homme went on to play rhythm guitar briefly with one of first grunge bands, The Screaming Trees. Homme left that band to form his own group due to dissatisfaction with the band's disharmony. It was ironic, then, that Queens were just as fractious an outfit with Homme being the only constant member over their recording career.
