Elton John has labelled the latest LP by Queens Of The Stone Age; “Probably the best rock album by any band in about five or six years“.
‘…Like Clockwork‘ was released on June 3rd and Sir Elton made the comments after contributing vocals and piano to one of the tracks on the LP, ‘Fairweather Friends‘. “I’ve never really played on a record with a rock band like that and for me it was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done.”
Frontman Josh Homme said he enjoyed having the megastar in the studio; “We played for three-and-a-half hours. That’s how long it took to get it. Then he stayed for another three-and-a-half hours and he just talked and hung out and bullshitted and stuff like that“.
The latest release has been widely praised and was only narrowly beaten to number one on Sunday by the debut release by Electronic duo Disclosure.
