Josh Homme

Queens of the Stone Age frontman who pioneered desert rock with a detuned, heavy guitar sound run through bass amps for a thick, woolly low-end. Homme's use of C-standard tuning, Ovation semi-acoustic guitars, and Ampeg bass heads creates a unique, massive tone unlike anything else in rock.
