Dave Grohl had high praise for his onetime Them Crooked Vultures and Queens of the Stone Age bandmate Josh Homme in a new LA Times joint interview with the QOTSA frontman, hinting that he would like to yet again play with him.

“Honestly, as a drummer, he’s the only person I want to play with,” said Grohl, who played drums in Them Crooked Vultures and on Queens of the Stone Age’s “Songs for the Deaf” album in 2002. “I go and I play with other people. But Josh makes me feel like I can be the drummer I want to be.”

They also discussed recording Foo Fighters’ Concrete and Gold and Queens of the Stone Age’s Villains down the street from each other.

“I was excited to go down to the studio every day to make my record,” said Grohl. “But I was also excited to go down and steal Josh’s doughnuts and hang for the first three hours of every day. It was like ‘Hill Street Blues.’ ”

“‘Let me know your opinion on this cold case file,’” Homme added in an exaggerated detective’s voice.

“Rock bands making vital records, trying to push boundaries — these days it’s few and far between,” Grohl continued. “Having Josh so close made me feel like we weren’t alone.”

Every once in a while the men would go out for lunch; afterward, they’d sit in one of their cars and play each other songs they were working on.

“That’s not something I’d normally do with anybody else,” Grohl said.

“Maybe it’d be embarrassing,” Homme agreed. “But with him I don’t feel that way at all.”
