Queens of the Stone Age is set to premiere a concert film titled "Alive in the Catacombs" on June 5, showcasing a stripped-down acoustic performance in Paris's Catacombs, accompanied by a three-piece string section. This concert was recorded following frontman Josh Homme's emergency surgery, resulting in the cancellation of some tour dates. Homme emphasizes the impact of the catacombs on the music and experience, stating the space dictates the performance. He humorously remarks on the catacombs' numerous human remains as the largest audience they've performed for.
We're so stripped down because that place is so stripped down, which makes the music so stripped down, which makes the words so stripped down... It would be ridiculous to try to rock there.
All those decisions were made by that space. That space dictates everything, it's in charge. You do what you're told when you're in there.
He also described the catacombs' several million human remains as 'the biggest audience we've ever played for.'
