Relentless

Don't spend too much time wondering who's going to be on the next Queens of the Stone Age album. While the line-up has always been famously in limbo, the current Queens of the Stone Age are now "permanent" members. That line-up, of course, is Nick Oliveri, Josh Homme, Mark Lanegan, Troy Van Leeuwen, and Joey Castillo. While touring for the rest of the year, the band plans to record their next album and have it set for an early 2004 release (the album is already written). In the midst of all this QOTSA business, Nick Oliveri is going to find time to release and tour briefly behind Mondo Generator's latest album A Drug Problem That Never Existed and Josh Homme is going to release the recently recorded Desert Sessions 9/10. They're very busy, busy bees.
