Watch Josh Homme jam a stripped down version of QOTSA’s “Villains Of Circumstance” in his bathroom

Sometimes it’s tough to find the silver lining of the lockdown cloud, but thank god for musicians like Josh Homme who can’t sit still and don’t mind inviting us into their home.

Filmed in one take in Homme’s bathroom in Los Angeles, by photographer Andreas Neumann, his cover of Queens Of The Stone Ages’ “Villains Of Circumstance” forms part of Hedi Slimane’s series Portrait Of A Performer.

The original version of “Villains of Circumstance” is a glorious 6-minute-long ebb and flow of moody reverb and guitar but for this version, Homme pulls things back and as a result the emphasis is on his emotional vocal.
