Kyuss

Main article: Kyuss

At age 14 in 1987, Homme formed a local stoner rock act in Palm Desert called Sons of Kyuss (later shortened to Kyuss) as their lead guitarist. The band became a cult phenomenon through the early nineties. Homme often preferred that the band drove for hours out to isolated locations in the desert and plug into generators to perform, and these events, known as "Generator Parties" became urban legend among rock sub-culture. This article is about the band. ... Stoner rock and stoner metal are interchangeable terms describing sub-genres of rock and metal music. ...

In biology, a subculture in a population of a microorganism is when one microbe colony in such a population is transferred onto blank growth medium and allowed to freely reproduce. ...

In concert with Kyuss, Homme would frequently toy with his equipment in order to gain a more psychedelic tone, often playing his pawnshop Ovation Ultra GP jazz guitar through old Ampeg bass amplifiers and an array of pedals while tuning his guitar two steps lower than normal, thus adding a heavier mood to the songs. When heckled or booed, he would frequently point out the heckler to the crowd and unleash a slew of profanity that included encouraging or challenging the heckler to a fight, something that has continued in his shows with QOTSA as featured in their DVD release Over the Years and Through the Woods.

Queens of the Stone Age

Main article: Queens of the Stone Age

Kyuss split up in 1995 and Homme went on tour with grunge act The Screaming Trees as their second guitarist to fill spare time. He and vocalist Mark Lanegan became close friends during their time touring, and Homme would later recruit Lanegan as an additional vocalist for Queens of the Stone Age. Disliking the band's constant arguing and lack of progression, Homme left the group after less than a year. He assembled a group more centered to his unique style and tastes in founding Gamma Ray which later became Queens of the Stone Age in 1997. QOTSA released their eponymous debut album in 1998. Originally, he had asked a number of singers, including Lanegan, to perform as lead vocalist for QOTSA, but ended up singing lead for the first time in his career. This article is about the American rock band. ... Screaming Trees were a musical group considered part of the grunge music movement of the late 1980s and early 1990s. ... Mark Lanegan (born November 25, 1964 in Ellensburg, Washington) is a singer and songwriter. ...

Following their debut, the band released several singles and EPs. With the next album, Rated R, Homme sought a more conceptual approach. His lyrics centered around the media of the 1990's. Despite differences from the band's debut, Rated R became the band's first mainstream hit. The next release, 2002's Songs for the Deaf , however, would gain even more buzz from the music community and fans alike. In Deaf Homme continued his filtering of stoner metal and hard rock through the progressive rock aesthetic. The album centers around Homme's memories of an uncomfortable ride through the California desert, where he had performed in his days with Kyuss, and where there was little else to listen to but Spanish radio stations. Deaf was the first album with QOTSA in which Homme used more graphic language and toyed with multiple genres.

During this time, Homme allegedly had a falling out with bassist and friend Nick Oliveri over his hard partying and domestic violence. Following the release of Deaf , their relationship deteriorated until Homme fired Oliveri from the band in 2004. Enjoying the fame that QOTSA had accumulated for the last few years, Homme began writing their next album, Lullabies to Paralyze. Based on a lyric from a Deaf song, the album was another concept piece, this time focusing on the occult and folklore common in children's storybooks. As Deaf had been symbolized by the image of a sperm entering an egg (depicted as a stylized "Q", a recurring moniker for the band), Lullabies was in many ways a sequel to the album, with many songs oriented to the folklore nature.

Homme's latest work, QOTSA's Era Vulgaris was released in early June 2007 and received generally positive reviews from critics. It too is somewhat conceptual, portraying modern Hollywood and celebrity excess in the 2000's.

Name and pseudonyms

Homme's surname is of Norwegian origin, and is believed to come from the town Valle, Norway. Homme is known for never giving a straight answer as to how his last name is pronounced, but on several occasions (the BBC radio documentary "Time For Heroes: The Pixies" and on his secret "fan letter" on the final track of Mastodon's album Blood Mountain), he pronounced it as rhyming with "mommy", and this has been generally accepted as the proper Norwegian pronunciation amongst the fanbase, however according to the most commonly used Norwegian variants the right pronunciation would be [hummə].

Homme on stage.

Homme's traditional setup has been Ovation Ultra GP guitars (3 different finishes, though the wine red one is rarely seen) played through a collection of Ampeg Vt-22 combos.
