Queens Of The Stone Age tease live release from the Catacombs of Paris

Queens Of The Stone Age are teasing a forthcoming live release from Paris’ historic Catacombs.

Entitled Alive In The Catacombs, the band promise that whatever this may fully entail is “coming sooner”, with two teaser trailers available to watch below.

Last July, frontman Josh Homme revealed that QOTSA were to become the first band ever to play the Catacombs – which holds the remains of over six million people: “I’ve been working on it for 18 years, trying to get myself inside of this exalted place in Paris. And it’s completely live,” he said.

Josh also revealed: “I’d like to take some of these ideas, which are sort of ubiquitous – like a live record – and do something a little different with them. Because I think with the way the Internet is, people can see us play live so simply, on so many different ways, that I’d like to do something live that cannot be seen in a way that is not often done.

“And we release those versions. And let the fans control the rest. The fans can control the rest of how to see us live. Come see us play, watch it online. I don’t care how a baby takes his medicine – blown up the ass or down the throat. However you find our music and however you wanna find it is fine for me, but I would like to try to do some of these ideas in a different way. So, that’s why I mentioned the Catacombs.”
