QOTSA's Homme Brings Homophobic Rant to Norway Festival

Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme evidently went mental last Friday at Oslo's Norwegian Wood festival, reacting to a shoe throwing incident with a homophobic rant that he just might struggle to recover from. During a cover of Queen's song '3's and 7's,' Homme was struck and subsequently tore into the young attendee, calling him a "twelve year old c--t", before really letting the kid have it.

Homme clearly overreacted and repeatedly used the term "faggot" while the fan was escorted out. The attendee, who threw up devil horns with his hand and smiled during his forced removal, also received the kind of distasteful threat (suggesting that he and the kid have forcible sex while his friends look on) that you'll have to hear to believe. How ironic that the whole outburst took place during a Queen cover.

Calling someone a f-ggot makes you homophobic? This reporter sucks. What a sensational title to get your article more hits, you idiot.

So he doesn't take bullshit from the crowd. Big deal. This isn't anything new by the way. Josh always lets little bitches have it if they don't know how to behave at a rock show. Someone ought to throw a shoe at you for being a shitty reporter.

I was going to say...what the hell kind of half-ass reporting is this? Who can't tell the difference between a current QOTSA song and a Queen cover? Fact checkers needed much?

3's & 7's isn't a Queen cover
