In a display of sheer rock prowess, Queens of the Stone Age took the stage at Sydneyâs Hordern Pavilion, marking the first of two sold-out nights that fans will remember for years to come. The legendary band, fronted by the enigmatic Josh Homme, embarked on âThe End Is Nero Tour,â in support of their latest album, âIn Times New Roman.â Triple Mâs own Row was there to capture every electrifying moment, providing fans and listeners with an exclusive gig review that brings the concertâs atmosphere right to your ears.
What sets Queens of the Stone Age apart is their unique approach to live performances. Homme and his bandmates believe that their shows belong to the fans, a philosophy that was vividly on display in Sydney. The setlist, ever fluid, changed course when a fanâs shout for âAvonâ from their debut album was heeded. In a democratic turn, the crowd was given the choice between âThe Lost Art of Keeping a Secretâ and â3âs & 7âs,â with the latter, a live rarity, winning the vote. This interactive experience not only highlights the bandâs versatility but also their dedication to their audience.
Describing the concert, Row emphasizes the âsheer noise, style, and swaggerâ of Queens of the Stone Age. Their performance is a testament to the enduring power and appeal of live rock music. Homme, as the âultimate bad boy of rock,â commands the stage with a presence thatâs both intimidating and captivating. The sound is heavy, designed to overwhelm the senses, complemented by stunning lighting and an energetic mosh pit that never quits.
Among the standout tracks, âRegular Johnâ and âGo With the Flowâ electrified the crowd, showcasing the bandâs ability to craft songs that are as compelling live as they are on record. A sensual rendition of âMake It Wit Chuâ provided a moment of intimacy amidst the high-octane show, leaving fans âa bit flushedâ and wanting more.
For those fortunate enough to attend the second night in Sydney, expectations were set sky-high. As Row wraps up her review, itâs clear that Queens of the Stone Age continue to be a force of nature on the live circuit, offering unforgettable experiences that resonate with fans old and new.
