The Queens of the Stone Age, already a renowned band at the time, encountered an extraordinary string of setbacks during their Rock Am Ring performance in 2001. What should have been a memorable gig turned into a nightmarish ordeal for the musicians. They were plagued by equipment failures, wrestling with a malfunctioning smoke machine that refused to cease its hazy outpour, and contended with an audience that could scarcely distinguish the resonating sounds of their guitars amidst the chaos. The show’s myriad mishaps left such an indelible impression on the band that they collectively decided to commemorate the event by getting matching tattoos.
