While in high school, Homme got together with locals Brant Bjork, Chris Cockrell (later replaced by Nick Oliveri) and John Garcia resulting in the formation of Kyuss (firstly known as "Sons of Kyuss"). Queens of the Stone Age formed in 1997, rising from the ashes of Kyuss and began playing together during the now legendary Desert Sessions. Homme has drawn all of the members from that diverse group of musicians for Queens of the Stone Age. The band originally formed under the name Gamma Ray, but almost faced a lawsuit from the European metal band of the same name.
Queens of the Stone Age have gone through many line-up changes since first breaking into the hard rock scene. Their most recent line-up includes: Josh Homme (guitar, vocals), Troy Van Leeuwen (guitar, lap steel, keyboards, backing vocals), Jon Theodore (drums, percussion), Michael Shuman (bass, backing vocals), and Dean Fertita (keyboards, guitar, backing vocals).
Former core members include Joey Castillo, Alain Johannes, Natasha Shneider, Mark Lanegan, and Nick Oliveri, among other members and contributors. In 2002, regarding the band line-up, Homme said: "It really is more of a musical experiment… It keeps moving and reinventing itself. That way we never get painted into a corner."
Dave Grohl recorded drums, percussion and backing vocals on Songs for the Deaf and toured in support of the album in 2002 before returning to the Foo Fighters. Grohl also made a live appearance in 2007, to play Make It wit Chu, and recorded tracks on …Like Clockwork, following Joey Castillo's departure.
Mark Lanegan has long been an on/off vocalist for the band, toured from 2001 to 2005 and made live appearances in 2007 and 2010. He has recorded with the band on all albums except for their self-titled debut album. Lanegan has also played keyboards in live performances during the tour preceding the release of Lullabies to Paralyze, before Natasha Shneider joined the band.
Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri were seen as the only two consistent Queens of the Stone Age members. Oliveri had previously played alongside Homme in the band Kyuss and joined Queens of the Stone Age as its permanent bass guitarist and co-lead vocalist, in 1998, upon the release of its debut album, Queens of the Stone Age. Being friends since childhood, the two meshed well together. Oliveri's punk background brought an element of danger and attitude to the Queens' live shows. As the band's two core members, the duo recorded the breakthrough albums, Rated R and Songs for the Deaf, together. Oliveri's unique "howling" singing style made him easily distinguishable on songs such as Six Shooter from the album Songs for the Deaf; he also displays a more melodic singing style in Rated R songs such as Auto Pilot.
However, Homme fired Oliveri in 2004 for excessive partying and an alleged incident of domestic abuse (an accusation which Oliveri strongly denies). The duo repaired their friendship shortly afterwards. Oliveri, however, did not return to the band. In 2013, upon hearing that former contributor Dave Grohl was recording drums for the band's sixth studio album, …Like Clockwork, Oliveri asked Homme if he too could return on bass guitar. Homme ultimately did not grant Oliveri's request. He does, however, appear on backing vocals on the album track, If I Had a Tail.

Queens of the Stone Age Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so high I run in place
Only a line we separate
So
I keep on playing our favorite song
I turn it up while you're gone
It's all I've got when you're in my head
You're the only thing I've got
I can't seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace
So
I keep on playing our favorite song
I turn it up while you're gone
It's all I've got when you're in my head
And you're in my head, so I need it
You're the only thing I've got
I can't seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace
So
I keep on playing our favorite song
I turn it up while you're gone
It's all I've got when you're in my head
And you're in my head, so I need it
You're the only thing I've got
I can't seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace
So
I keep on playing our favorite song
I turn it up while you're gone
It's all I've got when you're in my head
And you're in my head, so I need it
You're the only thing I've got
I can't seem to get enough
We collide for one embrace
So
I need it
I need it
I need it now
The lyrics of Queens of the Stone Age's "In My Head" speak of the desperation of being in love with someone who is not physically present. The song tackles the struggle of being so caught up in one's emotions that one can't help but obsess over the other person in their absence. The opening line,"It's the cruelest joke to play", reinforces the idea that being so deeply invested in someone who is not reciprocating the same feelings can be a painful experience.
The lyrics even suggest that the singer is resorting to drug use as a way to cope with the absence of their loved one, stating "I'm so high I run in place." The second stanza emphasizes the importance of music as a source of comfort in times of need, with the singer stating that it's all they've got when their loved one is not around. The repetition of the line "And you're in my head, so I need it" further highlights the importance of music as a coping mechanism for the singer.
The song's chorus, which repeats the same lyrics over and over, serves as a plea from the singer to the person they're in love with, expressing their desire for connection, even if it's just for one moment, "We collide for one embrace."
Overall, "In My Head" is a powerful expression of love and longing, highlighting the intense emotions that can come with being in love with someone who is not reciprocating the same feelings.

É a piada mais cruel de se fazer
Eu estou tão chapado que eu corro no mesmo lugar
Apenas uma linha nos separa, então
Eu continuo tocando nossa música favorita
Eu aumento o volume enquanto você se vai
É tudo que eu tenho quando você está na minha cabeça
E você está na minha cabeça, então eu preciso dela
Você é a única coisa que tenho
Que eu não consigo me dar por satisfeito
Nós partimos para um único abraço, então
Eu continuo tocando nossa música favorita
Eu aumento o volume enquanto você se vai
É tudo que eu tenho quando você está na minha cabeça
E você está na minha cabeça, então eu preciso dela
Eu continuo tocando nossa música favorita
Eu aumento o volume enquanto você se vai
É tudo que eu tenho quando você está na minha cabeça
E você está na minha cabeça, então eu preciso dela
Apresse-se e espere pra sempre
(Apresse-se e espere pra todo o sempre)
Eu continuo tocando nossa música favorita
Eu aumento o volume enquanto você se vai
É tudo que eu tenho quando você está na minha cabeça
E você está na minha cabeça, então eu preciso dela
Eu continuo tocando nossa música favorita
Eu aumento o volume enquanto você se vai
É tudo que eu tenho quando você está na minha cabeça
E você está na minha cabeça, então eu preciso dela
Eu preciso dela
Eu preciso dela
Eu preciso dela agora

After all this years I still have this song in my head. I think playing NFS U2 with my best friends as kids is one of my best memories and this song is going to stay in my head forever.
