Arctic Monkeys stand in as support for Queens Of The Stone Age

Arctic Monkeys stood in as support for Queens Of The Stone Age in Texas, with Josh Homme calling their set the highlight of the night.

Arctic Monkeys played a stand-in support slot for Queens Of The Stone Age on Monday, opening for the band in Texas after their regular support bands, Howlin' Blue and Dax Riggs, were unable to play. The Sheffield band played for just over an hour and clearly left an impression on QOTSA leadman Josh Homme, who said: "Watching them was the highlight of the whole night. They're a really great live band - they're like a tight little spring, you know? I didn't even get tipsy because I was too busy watching them play". Meanwhile, Alex Turner seemed equally ebullient, telling NME.com: "I thoroughly enjoyed it! It would be terrific to do a proper tour with them".
