JOSH HOMME + MIKE PATTON COLLABO IN THE WORKS?

It hasn’t been confirmed, but a recent article published at Rock-a-Rolla.com [sent in by uber-commenter groverXIII] hints at the possibility of a Josh Homme / Mike Patton collaboration in the not-too-distant future:
Queens Of The Stone Age, Eagles Of Death Metal and Desert Sessions man Josh Homme is currently working on a “top secret” project according to Ipecac Recordings boss Greg Werckman. “Josh has got a new top secret project that he’s working on right now” Greg tells us. “He’s trying to get a lot of people involved in it, too, as a matter of fact he’s trying to convince Mike Patton to go out to the desert but Mike hates the desert.”
Seeing as the source of the rumor is a higher-up at Ipecac — the label Patton himself co-owns — the likelihood of this tantalizing collaboration coming to fruition seems pretty high. Homme + Patton? Color us interested. As long as it doesn’t prevent that Faith No More reunion tour from hitting the U.S. first (AHEM!).
No word yet on whether Homme plans on insulting and throwing bottles at his audience if the duo ever performs live.

Holy shit.
Sounds to me like he’s basically doing Desert Sessions Vol. 11. Which would be just fine with me!
THIS.
And with Mike Patton? WIN.
Would be awesome.
I mean the bottle throwing/insults.
how is this a rumor? its not coming from a unreliable uninformed nobody, its coming straight from the head of the label that homme clearly has ties to, and he is stating flat out that homme is in FACT working on a project, and that patton MIGHT be involved. thats not a rumor, thats possibility.
The last Desert Sessions disc (vol 9+ 10) came out on Ipecac, and it’s usually what Homme does between albums. I’m actually not sure what Patton would bring to the mix, but Homme is all about casting a wide net and seeing what forcing people to become comfortable with each other quickly will yield.
I kinda liked the early Queens of the Stone Age material( I can’t place the album) BUT, with Mr. Patton included I think it may sound good. Hopefully, Mike will use his arsenal of voices and Homme will showcase his love for stoner/doom. Personally, I think it will be hard to top Fantomas’ Director’s Cut(just my opinion)
Heh… I’m an uber-commenter.
Yeah, the possibility is tantalizing, to say the least. Two unique, more-than-a-bit-out-there artists joining forces? The possibility alone is enough to give me a half boner.
I’m going to indulge in wishful thinking and start hoping for a FNM/Kyuss tour
Ohhhh… man, that would be incredible.
Two people who actually have talent! That’s a good start.
patton + homme = the future.
