Josh Homme, frontman of Queens of the Stone Age, premiered his short film 'Alive in the Catacombs,' showcasing an acoustic gig from July in Paris's Catacombs. The film, reflecting a two-decade inspiration, reveals Homme's complex relationship with fear and music. Having recently recovered from cancer, the show captures Homme's resurgence as he prepares to tour again. While the film sparked mixed reactions, Homme appreciates its intensity. The creation process involved significant challenges, especially navigating French bureaucracy to receive approval for filming in the historically rich yet eerie setting of the Catacombs.
I'm so proud of the film because it's either 'I hate it' or 'Holy s-, that was intense,' It's nothing in between.
It was a f- nightmare. There's a national attitude that's pervasive in France where you ask a question and the first reaction is, 'Ask him over there.'
I love when music is scary. I recall hearing the Doors as a young boy and being like, 'Whoa.' And they're so consistently terrifying.
The inspiration for 'Alive in the Catacombs' stretches back two decades to a trip to Paris when a long line stymied Homme's attempt to visit the historical site.
