Queens of the Stone Age's Jon Theodore: “It was chaos, the songs were just suggestions”

From Music 101, 1:20 pm on 17 February 2024

Before becoming the drummer for Queens of the Stone Age, Jon Theodore was an early fan, first seeing them play at a tiny Baltimore club that held 12 people.  

Ahead of their NZ tour Jon talks to Charlotte about getting the call from Josh to drum for the band, and what it’s like to go from the “free-for-all” shows with The Mars Volta to the controlled chaos of Queens of the Stone Age. 

Queens of the Stone Age NZ tour dates:
Thursday 29th Auckland’s Spark Arena
Friday 1st March Wellington’s TSB Arena
Sunday 3rd March Christchurch Arena
