New Release: Queens Of The Stone Age "Smooth Sailing" Directed by Hiro Murai


Let me give you guys a word of advice: no matter where you are, if you ever see Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme with a group of Asian business men, you need to get the fuck out of there as fast as you can. If you stick around, odds are you’re likely going to get the shit kicked out of you, possibly to death. If you need proof, look no further than QOTSA’s latest video for “Smooth Sailing,” directed by Hiro Murai. In this video, Josh Homme and his coworkers (TIL Josh Homme has coworkers) basically just completely ruin everything they come into contact with. Their snorricam-filled night starts off slow, with a bit too much sake with dinner, but soon more booze leads to karaoke, dancing, and knocking stuff out of peoples' hands. At this point, shit starts to get real, neckties become headties, and no one in their radius is safe from their drug-fueled assault. If you ever come across this gang in real life, it would likely be pretty scary, but in music video form they’re basically just awesome and hilarious.

As a bonus, here is a BTS photo of the cast with producer Jason Colon and director Hiro Murai:
