Homme Denies Hitting Dwarve With Beer Bottle
11-14-04
.
(antiMUSIC) The Queens of the Stone Age camp
have denied a Rolling Stone online article that reported that frontman
Josh Homme struck Dwarves frontman Blag Dahlia with a beer bottle.
The alleged run-in took place Wednesday
night (Nov 10) at the Dragonfly in Hollywood prior to The Dwarves scheduled
performance at the club. The Rolling Stone article, which posted on Thursday,
said that Homme "instigated a brawl" with Dahlia and hit him with a beer
bottle.
"After appearing backstage before the Dwarves'
midnight show, Homme began pouring beer over Dahlia's head while singing,
'Whatcha gonna do?'" reports Rolling Stone. "According to eyewitnesses,
after the two pushed each other, Homme struck Dahlia over the head with
a beer bottle."
Blag went on with the show and then reportedly
was taken to "St. Mary's Hospital" in Hollywood by his wife where "he received
stitches and was released Thursday morning."
Bouncers for the club reportedly removed
Homme from the venue, but police were not called.
The Rolling Stone article attributes the
"brawl" to a "beef" Homme has with the Dwarves due to the lyrics to the
track "Massacre" from their latest CD. Former QOTSA bassist Nick
Oliveri was featured on the song, which attacked his former bandmates with
the following lyrics "This one goes out to Queens of the Trust Fund/You
slept on my floor/And now I'm sleeping through your motherfucking album."
The Queens of the Stone Age camp rejected
the validity of the Rolling Stone article and attacked its author with
a posting by "Dr. Insider" to their official website. Dr. Insider
called the Rolling Stone article a "fairy tale" and attacked its credibility
because the article stated that Dahlia was treated at a fictitious hospital.
The article has since been corrected to read "Hollywood Presbyterian Medical
Center" instead of "St. Mary's Hospital ". At press time, antiMUSIC
has been able to confirm that Dahlia was treated at the hospital.
Dr. Insider also related Homme's version
of the incident. "Seriously. I merely tapped Blag in the eye because he
pushed me. A full swing it wasn't," said the QOTSA frontman. "You see,
I was just messing w/ him. You know, pouring beer on his head & dancing
'round him singing 'what chu gonna doo, Blaggy boo'."
TheDwarves.com had a different version
of events but did not name Homme or QOTSA directly, although they provided
anyone familiar with the song "Massacre" a big hint as to identity of the
alleged assailant. "An unfortunate incident in Hollywood on Wednesday resulted
in Dwarves singer Blag Dahlia being treated for a head wound following
an unprovoked attack by the singer in another band. Dahlia was seated backstage
when the assailant assaulted him with a bottle," reports TheDwarves.com.
"There is speculation that the attack came
as a result of a song entitled 'Massacre' from the new album .The Dwarves
Must Die(Sympathy for the Record Industry) which pokes fun at some high
profile mainstream celebrities."
Here is the full Dr. Insider posting from
QOTSA.com:
So she prints whatever story her friends
tell her (even about hospitals that don't exist) to try to right the wrong
done to the... wait.
The wrong done to the dwarves? You gotta
be kidding me. Blag should be screaming "thank sir may I have another"
for having anyone even say his name without saying "douchebag" immediately
after.
An incedent at the dwarves show, wed night,
involving Joshua Homme & Dwarves lead singer & GG Allin wanna-be,
Paul Cafaro (AKA Blag Dahlia) has already received the Dwarves, typical,
historical alterations. If you recall, the Dwarves where almost brought
up on charges for faking the death of their badass guitar player, HE-WHO-CANNOT-BE-NOT-BE-NAMED,
a few years back. In a fairy tale told to Rolling Sone.com, An unknown
"eyewitness" claimed, " the two pushed each other, Homme struck Dahlia
over the head with a beer bottle. But Despite the blow (oh please, the
drama), Blag performed as planned (how does he carry that much bullshit
& still do it). After the show, his wife drove him to St. Mary's Hospital
in Hollywood, where he received stitches and was released early Thursday
morning." But sadly, Rolling Stone.com, in an "out of character" journalistic
move, neglected to fact check their article. That's right folks, There
is no St. Mary's hospital in Hollywood or anywhere in all of Los Angeles
for that matter. OOOPS! They did it again *sings Brittany Spears* Ever
heard of 411 directory? No? OKee DoKee.
I spoke to Joshua about the dwarves unbiased
article & he laughed for the first few minutes. He did somehow find
the strength to retort to the Tsunami of brain power that is Paul Cafaro,
"I've known Blag for 13yrs or so & He's always been the sort of two-bit
con artist that would screw a friend over for two bucks. Blag's whimpering
about me has been going on ever since he begged Nick to "produce" the last
mondo record (a Drug Problem that Never Existed). I've always known how
selfserving he is. The record was paid outta Peeps' pocket & Blag just
wanted a credit.""But the second IPECAC showed an interest in putting out
the record, Blag started calling the label over Nicks head asking 'How
much is his advance? How much? How much?" "Nick's the fairest guy around,
so I called Blag, on Nicks request, to ask if he'd just finish the record
as agreed & let Nick deal w/ IPECAC. I told blag 'you know Nick will
kick you down some scratch.' Which is more than Blag does for the dwarves
guys. I mean he published songs under his name that Nick wrote. But instead,
he got really defensive & insecure (which is typical in dwarfed genital
cases), Even holding Nick's tapes hostage (which wasn't surprising to me).
What a Friend eh?""He's one of those guys desperately wants to a star,
Like Gallagher the comedian, & thinks he's entitled to be one because
he's standing there breathing & shit. Gross."
When asked about hitting Blag with a bottle,
Josh responded with,"why would I need a bottle to kick Blag's ass? I mean
who couldn't kick Blag's ass? Seriously. I merely tapped Blag in the eye
because he pushed me. A full swing it wasn't. You see, I was just messing
w/ him. You know, pouring beer on his head & dancing 'round him singing
'what chu gonna doo, Blaggy boo'. This is the guy that hits audience members
in the head w/ his mike & shows them his teenie weenie. I mean HE-WHO
& some girl were laughing & so was Blag, at first. I guess he can
dish, but no takey. life must be hard, when you're an old 'Ralph da mouth'
."
I then asked josh about the "Queens of
the trust fund" comments on a dwarves song that Blag raps on. Josh laughed
some more & said" I like that song, It's catchy. Blag is like Vanilla
Ice, Snow & Kid 'n' Play all at the same time. His dreams have finally
come true, he's a rapper! & the best part is... wait, I have a trust
fund? Awesome. why am I workin' so hard. I'm officially retired. I have
a question, which muthafuckin album of mine is Blag sleeping through? Is
it 'Deaf' (which opens w/ him as a DJ ), Lullabies to Paralize (which he
hasn't heard) or Good Charlotte's last album (which Blag wrote lyrics for
w/ Eric Valentine), I can't tell. Ya know what, it doesn't matter which
one, cuz he's Puuuuunk."
I think it's best summed up in Blag's own
stolen words, "play the pussy, get fucked." Or maybe Josh's are more realized,
"I'd rather mop the floors at a peep show, than relax in his limp, bitter
menagery of dumbassery. He wants some press, so how's 'gettin slapped like
a bitch' read as a headline."
well, it seems like Blag dreams of coverage
have come true. His prayers to have someone make fun of him in his own
dressing room have been answered. & his hopes to pen some more Good
Charlotte lyrics are just beyond that horizon...
Maybe the worm has turned.
Nope. Wimpy just paid for his hamburger....
TODAY!!!!
Until next time, Check your facts so it
looks like you know what you're talking about, stop being the type of person
everyone wants to slap & Keep rappin old whiteboy.
