Queens of the Stone Age Couldn’t ‘Over-Rehearse’ for Paris Catacombs Concert Film: ‘You Go Down There & All the Plans Are Off’
At a screening of 'Alive in the Catacombs,' Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme talks about playing a concert at the unlikely site.
“This place is like trying to run on a sheet of ice,” Hommes explains in the accompanying documentary Alive in Paris and Before, shot by the band’s longtime visual collaborator Andreas Neumann. The film captures Homme at a low point in 2024, having to cancel a major European leg of the band’s tour due to a cancer diagnosis from which he has since recovered. The band recruited violinist Christelle Lassort and viola player Arabella Bozig to repurpose tracks like “Paper Machete,” “Kalopsia” and “Villains of Circumstance”; while each song was performed acoustically, Homme was adamant the project not simply feel like “Queens of the Stone Age Unplugged.”
