Encyclopedia > Joey Castillo

Joey Castillo (born March 30, 1966, in Gardena, CA) is an American drummer currently playing in Queens of the Stone Age. He joined the band in 2002 after the departure of Dave Grohl. A native of southern California, Castillo began playing drums at age fifteen, influenced by War, Al Green, Led Zeppelin, and Black Flag. Prior to Queens, he’d completed an eight-year tenure with Danzig, preceded by stints with Wasted Youth, Sugartooth, and the Mark Lanegan Band. Castillo joined Queens of the Stone Age without an audition, playing through half a song at an informal rehearsal before frontman Josh Homme walked out of the room, returned saying "I just fired the drummer. The tour starts tomorrow", and offered Castillo the gig. [1] Gardena is a city located in Los Angeles County, California. ...

LP: Pro that Play LP: Happenings (395 words)
It took Joey Castillo exactly 30 seconds to secure the job as drummer for Queens of the Stone Age.
LP was able to catch up with Joey when the band kicked off their 2005 North American tour in New York City's Webster Hall, where Joey was nice enough to meet with us before the show.
Joey was very friendly and outgoing as he and Steve reminisced and laughed about old times and old friends.
