TRENT REZNOR Guest Spot Adds Mystery To QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE Album

April 13, 2007

Jonathan Cohen of Billboard.com reports: NINE INCH NAILS frontman Trent Reznor did indeed join QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE in the studio during the recording of the upcoming "Era Vulgaris". However, his contribution to the title track of the project, due June 12 via Interscope, didn't wind up making the final cut.

"We're going to get creative about how that song comes out and where it goes," QOTSA frontman Josh Homme tells Billboard.com. [Note: The track was reportedly released in a special package sent to fans who won a secret competition on the QOTSA forum.] One guest appearance that did come to fruition was from THE STROKES' Julian Casablancas on "Sick, Sick, Sick". Says Homme, "[Casablancas] is singing and playing a digital guitar. It's a lame looking thing, but it sounds really cool."

Due to scheduling conflicts, Homme was unable to reconnect with ZZ TOP guitarist Billy F. Gibbons, who guested on the prior QOTSA album, 2005's "Lullabies to Paralyze".
