Queens of the Stone Age’s Complaint Hotline is Now Open

As die hard fans of musicians, we seek ways to get in contact with artists. We search for fan clubs, fan mail addresses, backstage opportunities and even call the numbers they throw into songs. I remember calling the Soulja Boy “Kiss Me Through The Phone” number. The artists were asking for us to call them! They even set up hotlines so the numbers wouldn’t be a dead end.

They wanted to hear the love and support from fans, unlike Queens of the Stone Age who recently announced a complaint hotline. They are encouraging  haters, and even fans to call and tear into them! They said no complaint is too small and nothing is too big. Would you have the courage to call (760) 437-1966?

Let your voice be get heard!

As someone who grew up in the age of voicemails being used in the beginning and end of songs I can only guess that they are using this on an upcoming project.

The release of this hotline comes shortly after the release of “Easy Street” featuring Nikki Lane. The song has a beautiful feel to it and the lyrics are well paired, although it doesn’t FEEL like a Queens of the Stone Age song to me.

Maybe they want to hear all of the old school fans whine about how they don’t sound like they used to. The thing is, everyone evolves and music evolves. It seems to me that even though their sound has changed, fans will still show up.

The band is currently touring with Foo Fighters and are set to play their first Iceland show in 20 years. Seems to me like they’re doing just fine. Keep killing it, guys! Don’t answer to the haters — or at least let it go to voicemail!

She’s covered artists like New Kids on the Block, Big Time Rush & is frequently found with The Interrupters. she’s still holding out hope to shoot her bucket list band- Fall Out Boy. Ska and pop punk are her happy place, and her work brings magical moments to life in both photos and words. The barricade at a show isn’t close enough already, she’s gotta be in the photo pit!
