He is the founder and only continuous member of the rock band Queens of the Stone Age, in which he sings and plays guitar, as well as occasionally playing piano, drums, and bass. He also serves as the band's primary songwriter. Homme was formerly a guitarist and founder of the influential stoner rock band Kyuss. He co-founded and occasionally performs with Eagles of Death Metal, playing drums for their studio recordings, and produces a musical improv series with other musicians, mostly from the Palm Desert Scene, known as The Desert Sessions. In 2009, he formed a new project called Them Crooked Vultures with Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, who released their debut album that same year. ==Early life== Homme was born in Joshua Tree, California, and grew up in an affluent family in Palm Desert, California. His grandfather, Cap, moved to the desert from North Dakota when Homme's father was a child. His surname is of Norwegian origin, and is believed to come from the town of Valle. The Homme family have a local street named after them in a golfing community, and Cap has a park named after him in an exclusive enclave of the Coachella Valley. Homme appeared in a 2011 episode of Anthony Bourdain's ''No Reservations'' on the area, and discussed having "to create your own fun" as a child growing up in the desert. He also stated that he did not start playing music to "get girls or make money", and that he assumed that he would grow up to be "a good contractor like my dad".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Travel Channel, Anthony Bourdain No Reservations )〕 Homme also has ties in Idaho, and has talked in the past about summering there, including experiences such as seeing Carl Perkins perform at the Festival at Sandpoint and buying his first electric guitar (an Ovation Ultra GP) in a Sandpoint music store. He began playing guitar at the age of nine, after his parents denied his wishes for a drum kit. He took polka lessons on guitar from ages nine to 11, during which he supposedly did not learn of a barre chord for the first two years, nor of a pick until his third year, lending to his unique playing style. Homme joined his first band Autocracy in 1985, at the age of 12. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Josh Homme」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
