Video: Queens of the Stone Age: "Sick Sick Sick" (alternate video)
There's no sex in America's "Sick Sick Sick" video. Just Queens of the Stone Age rocking a thrashy highlight from their forthcoming Era Vulgaris, and a woman overeating to the point of yuck. But Germans have been seeing a different video for the song, and now those of us stateside can watch it, too.
Directed by Liam Lynch, who also helmed the first "Sick Sick Sick" video, this clip shows Wendy Rae Fowler (who also appeared in QOTSA's Lynch-directed "Burn the Witch" video) dancing with only a leather jacket and nipple-covering bits of tape to cover her torso. Josh Homme, the Palm Desert, Calif. band's frontman, shouts away his ills ills ills against a flickering backdrop of city traffic. He's in color, Fowler's in B&W, and other figures dance around in garish neons. It's all a bit weird, but hardly "Sick Sick Sick". Unless you're the FCC, one imagines.
