Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme might be giant of a man who (we'll wager) could lay out a man even bigger than himself with a single punch, but it turns out he's quite the peacemaker. At a show in New York earlier this week he broke up a fight between fans before launching into Domesticated Animals, which is our favourite song off the latest QOTSA album. The good people at Metalsucks.net transcribed what he said:

What’s going on? Is this something like a fight? We’re not here to fight. If you want to fight, stick your head up your ass and fight for air – and get the fuck out.

We’re here to dance, everybody’s going to get laid, and we don’t want security to be all over the place – they’re already really tight here. My point is this: we can show up exactly how we should be, right? So don’t be a dick… we’re not the soundtrack to you fighting, we’re the soundtrack to you fucking. If you don’t like that, get the fuck out.

Can't say fairer than that.
