Queens Of The Stone Age have a sort of revolving-door policy regarding members – apart from main man Josh Homme, no one musician sticks around for too long. Anyone with even a passing interest in the band will know that the likes of Dave Grohl, Screaming Trees’ Mark Lanegan and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top have all passed through the QOTSA camp. But what about the less familiar faces?
