You\u2019re serious, but it\u2019s funny \u2026 It\u2019s not just about silliness. It\u2019s about understanding the imperfection of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Easy Street\u2019 is accompanied by a video directed by Tony Wolski and Christopher Gruse, based on a story and idea by Homme. The film sees Homme attempting to outrun a Juggalo, a mall santa, a \u201cleather enthusiast\u201d and a cowboy with his horse.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn a way, we want to be undefinable,\u201d said the band\u2019s guitarist and keyboardist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpress.com\/dean-fertita\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dean Fertita<\/a> in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpress.com\/music\/queens-of-the-stone-age-now-that-everybodys-feeling-good-i-dont-think-we-want-to-take-as-much-time-away-23109830\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interview<\/a> with Hot Press about their concert film, Alive in the Catacombs, last year. \u201cWe can do this thing and that thing, and they can be completely opposite, but you can feel the connection.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpress.com\/system-of-a-down\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">System of a Down<\/a> in Europe and the UK before they go back to North America for their stadium tour with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpress.com\/foo-fighters\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Foo Fighters<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two days ago on July 13, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpress.com\/mastodon\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon<\/a> announced a new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotpress.com\/music\/mastodon-announce-new-album-marrow-deep-and-share-single-snakes-for-dinner-featuring-josh-homme-23150874\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">single<\/a> featuring Homme, titled \u2018Snakes for Dinner.\u2019 He also recently appeared on a new song by Shania Twain, \u2018Faded Blue Jeans.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;Easy Street&#8217; is available to buy and stream <a href=\"https:\/\/qotsa.lnk.to\/easystreet?mc_cid=52f2e4e080&amp;mc_eid=f04cb52a3e\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Queens of the Stone Age are currently on tour with System of a Down in Europe and the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":296428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-296427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=296427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/296427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/296428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=296427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=296427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=296427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
