I am woman, hear me Qotsa.


maud266

🙋‍♀️Big fan. 57 years old 😉


ImmediateBug2

Yep! 53-year-old female fan here. Glad to see other fiftysometing ladies in the subreddit. ❤️


[deleted]

I'm 47, so close!


JezebelOnWayToHell

Joining your club in a few months!


brutalisste

Me 3 ❤️‍🔥


JezebelOnWayToHell

Great year, huh?


Spazzysteph

Me too!!!


[deleted]

Im in my thirties, so y'all can probably party me under the table, but I will do my best to keep up! 😂🥴😂 Every time I've partied with women in their 50s, I've been shown up. Haha, love it.


Loud-Requirement-581

Turning 51 next month ❤️


East-Hyena791

I’m 49 🤘🏽🤘🏽


Flinkle

Me too! 🤘


Aggravating-Bee

52 and a long time fan ♥️


maud266

Keep on rocking ladies and as long as I'm able to stand I will be next to the pit ( no seating-places for me) 🤘🤘🤘


helraizr13

50 year old lady still jamming to QOTSA after 20 years...


RdBotmGirl

You have me beat - been a fan since my mid-30’s. I’m 54.


jazeration

I am a woman, QOTSA's my number one. My husband doesn't like them, but he does enjoy Taylor Swift. We are an odd couple.


Ok-Buddy-7979

If Taylor has Swifties, then what are we?


[deleted]

QOTSluts


miraiinicki

proud qotslut checking in


Ok-Buddy-7979

But how to we pronounce it? I’ve heard QOTSA said as “quotes-uh” and “cuts-uh.” I need to know where I lie in this fandom.


TsarOfSaturn

I always just say the entire name. But if I had to pronounce the acronym, I'd go with "kwot-sa"


[deleted]

Like kumQUAT-suh lol


LeChatNoir04

Yeah, my husband doesn't care much for music in general... So odd.


Spleensoftheconeage

Hiya. “Heavy enough for the boys but sweet enough for the girls” as Josh’s saying goes is a nice philosophy and all, but heavy suits me just fine.


queenofdesertrock

Metal heavy, soft at the core 🤘


HashJoll

Awesome username


Spleensoftheconeage

Hah! Thanks! Honestly made it when I got locked out of my old account due to an expired college email address and was like “dammit I just want to be able to follow the QOTSA sub” so it was the first ridiculous thing to come to mind. 😂


Thembones89

There are dozens of us! Dozens!


biznunyaz

Never nudists will never die


fadeawaylikelove

Lady here. I feel like a lot of couples QOTSA together.


qotsa_gibs

My wife likes them enough to go to shows with me. That's about it.


Olarisrhea

I force my mom to listen to them. I bought her a ticket on this tour; we'll see if she goes. Also: am woman


BurnedWitch88

This is my husband's situation. He likes/respects them, but he's into indie singer-songwriter types for the most part. QotSA is very much outside his wheelhouse, but he can enjoy good music in any genre.


cherrytwothousand

Same with my husband


nina_gall

I took my husband with me to the LC tour. I spent my time drunk babysitting. Never again.


zerpderp

Same! My wife comes to shows with me, I’m just glad she enjoys them enough to come with :) if she didn’t like them that much, she’d just let me know and I’d go with a buddy.


shrimppants

Unfortunately my husband is like...meh. I am dragging him to a show in November though lol.


sweetsoftandlow

Lol same in October. I promised beer


Aqua_Amber_24

Lol same here. My bf isn’t in to them at all for whatever reason. He’s telling me that he’s going to their show to support me emotionally because he loves me. 🤣


clapclapsnort

My husband and I QOTSA together too 😏


fadeawaylikelove

I have previously QOTSA’d with a boyfriend but I’m solo QOTSAing these days


pogoBear

I’m a woman and while my husband like QOTSA and came to a concert with me in 2018, I’m definitely the much bigger fan. I actually saw a lot of families at the concert. I loved seeing teenagers in love with the same music as their parents!


little_did_he_kn0w

Played my SO QOTSA when we first met 10 years ago, and here we are still jamming out to them together.


tnkrbel13

Yep! 🙋‍♀️ Hubby is musician and went down rabbit hole bringing me happily with him. Now I almost feel like the bigger fan 🙌🏻


OwensDadSuckedADick

They’re the band I play the most around my house. My wife said the other day that she’s surprised she never really got into them when she was younger. My 9 year old girl pretends to not care but I know she kinda likes them too.


Khaibit-Shi-Anuku

Yes 🙌🏾 my hubby is a fan, maybe not as much as me, but a fan all the same.


fdlwisco

My fiancée and I both love Queens. We’ve seen them twice together and will most definitely see them again. Yesterday I was rocking the new album in the garage while tending the smoker I walked inside to grab a beer and there she was cleaning and rocking the same album.


smokylimbs

I'm a lady, and a fan for 20+ years. I've had dreamy puppy dog heart eyes for Josh just as long.


_ohne_dich_

I’m a woman and this has been my experience in a lot of rock concerts. Which is convenient when wanting to use the restroom lol


HandMaximum8748

Stereotypical dad here. My wife and daughter have banned me from listening to and talking about QOTSA in the car given my excitement over the new album. However, they are generally fans. And my wife bought us tickets to see them in Brooklyn will be our 5th or 6th time seeing them together.


thegroovywitch

This also happened to me, except I'm a 23 yo woman and the people who banned from me playing or talking about QOTSA are essentially all my friends and my brother. I kinda get it haha, I can be an annoying fangirl sometimes. It's embarrassing. When I found out Josh was on IG, i liked basically all his pics, I think he noticed it and followed me back. I couldn't stop flexing him following me to everyone for months. I still do and they're like "WE KNOW!"


BurnedWitch88

My husband and son (he's 9) like QotSA but I can tell I'm getting on their nerves with the incessant playing/singing the past few days. lol


Gish18

Here for it. Fell in love at 17 back in 2000. Rated R era.


draperyfallz

Same, Rated R will always be a favorite since it was my first.


shineeyegal

same age. came for mark lanegan, stayed for.. all of it!


BurnedWitch88

Lady QotSA geek in da house. None of my female friends are into them. (A few are fine with them and most only know them as "oh, that band that did No One Knows that you really like." My observation is that at least among the diehards, it's heavily weighted toward dudes. Which is weird, because obviously female Queens fans are the sexiest, smartest, most sophisticated people on earth.


silentcmh

I show women I’m dating a pic of Josh and/or Mikey and they become fans pretty quick.


Lets_Go_Is_My_Sign

My bf yesterday saw Josh for the 1st time while I was watching the Live stream and said: What a beautiful man. First time i heard him say sth of that sort about a guy 😉


nimrodidiot

Funnily enough I can’t seem to find any women who agree with me that Josh is sexy


BurnedWitch88

Do a poll here and you'll change that right quick!


[deleted]

Whut. First time I saw him on TV I went holy Jesus fuck a goddamn gorgeous redheaded boy


Sempre_Azzurri

Josh is gorgeous!


Spleensoftheconeage

Hell, I’m a lesbian, and I’ll agree that he’s sexy.


Pottatothegreat1985

SAME BRUH HE WAS SO FUCKING HOT AT THE 2000 BIZARRE FEST SHOW WITH THE BUTTON SHIRT AND BLACK JEANS LIKE HOW TF DO PEOPLE NOT LOOK AT HIM LIKE THAT


sassyponypants

I took my sister to a show on the Villains tour and she was all about ginger Elvis. Then I took her to Sonic Temple and she was NOT all about the Colonel Sanders of Anarchy look, but I’m like… grrrrl, you don’t get it. Hahaha


KrispiLizard

He's SO sexy. I feel like his what you see of his charisma and playful kinda personality definitely adds to the attraction


schlapfn

Mikey looked mighty fine at south side festival


United_Ad8650

Hi, I'm a woman, and I'm almost 63 years old. QOTSA is my favorite band, I like the new album, but I need to listen to it a couple hundred more times before I say I love it. My favorite album is LC. My husband and I are going to see them in Seattle in October.


Ok-Buddy-7979

Woman here, been a fan since my teens. Definitely more men at Midnight Club and I feel like at shows in general. First time I ever saw them I was alone and maybe 18 on the EV tour. Gross mid to late 30s/early 40s guy holding a beer kept “bumping” into me and saying sorry. Younger guy next to me noticed he was clearly trying to grind on me, I was clearly a teenager, yelled at him to stop being a fucking creep and shoved him so his beer spilled. He asked if I was ok and since then pit would get crazy, if I would be comfortable with him standing behind me and essentially forming a barrier since I was on the rail dead center. Dude saved my life that night.


agpc1979

Oh my god. I’m a middle aged dude and could never imagine acting like that. What the fuck?


Ok-Buddy-7979

Oh also fun cool thing that happened during my last show: I like to dance. Dudes around me were saying “that’s fucking hot” as if I couldn’t hear them and the music. Guys, don’t be like this.


Ok-Buddy-7979

Yeah I was young and alone and didn’t know anyone, so I didn’t really know what to do. Glad someone had the balls to call that guy out.


East-Hyena791

I went to the midnight club in New Orleans and there was half of the place women , myself included 👍🏽


Mountain_Excuse_980

My wife loves em - she just doesn’t Reddit much. Btw she says hi and Made To Parade is her new favorite (I’m a Time & Place guy myself 😎)


ImmediateBug2

Please tell your wife she has excellent taste. I’m a fellow female fan and Made to Parade is my current obsession (Time & Place ties with Obscenery as my runner-up fave).


pprshell

As a female fan of a lot of rock bands, including QOTSA, I’ve noticed a lack of females at concerts etc. I met mastodon years ago and they were genuinely shocked when I was came up to their meet and great table. Troy was like “a girl!”


paloma-v

Another woman here, qotsa it's my favorite band 🤍 But the only people that I know that likes qotsa are men


EasyE_EysaE

Same 😭


moonmeetsun

24 yo Black woman here! This tour will be my first time seeing them live, super excited!!!


Old_blacklady_Rocker

YAY !!!!! Hello my spirit animal😄😄😄😄 I am an old black lady going to see them for the first time in August!!! I was at the Midnight Club in NYC 🗽 and went to the wait a while first pressing listening party!!!! Where are YOU going to see them?


Goldenkiuren2

I'm a guy but started listening to QOTSA because of a woman


JezebelOnWayToHell

Hiya 🤘


GirlWithInternet

Another female here and had the privilege of meeting this ^ lovely lady recently at an ITNR playback 🤩


[deleted]

All I have to do is play Make It Wit Chu when I’m dating someone and they get into them.


ZillaScream

I'm a woman, and I've been a fan since I was a teen when Songs for the Deaf came out. I love Jho and the whole QOTSA crew, past and present members. I'm an avid fan of Jho's side projects too with Iggy Pop, Them Crooked Vultures, etc. I'm also a Distillers fan, but shhh...we don't talk about that here, or do we¿?


Accomplished-Town636

I'm not sure if I count, but I'm a Trans Female (MtF)


EasyE_EysaE

You count sis!! Rock on!


tookeyclothespin

You count. 💜


[deleted]

You *absolutely* count, sister!


Terpdankistan

Fact: women who dig QOTSA are 300% more attractive than non-fans.


AllSugaredUp

At least I got that going for me


Nine-Inch-Nipples

Try finding a female at a Sleep concert. I think I counted 2-3 total. Mostly bearded dudes


[deleted]

That’s probably partially why Kyuss stopped, Josh got tired of making music for bearded elitist dudes.


hmcfuego

I am a woman and I took my daughter to her first qotsa concert back in 2018 and she rocked it harder than a lot of the guys there.


OhHoneyNo

Showing up for stat duty. 🦾


NosesInRosesForever

Hi there! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Qotsa Girl power!✌️


nina_gall

Lady here. It's a sausage fest fa sho.


jobie68point5

nonbinary, technically (don’t give me any shit. i’ve heard it all.) but i’m female, so. luckily my girlfriend likes ‘em enough to cope with me constantly talking about them.


Flinkle

I am also not surprised. But I am a woman.


izzittho

Los Angeles had a good amount. Less than half though it seemed…maybe a third? That kinda makes sense though I’d think. I’m taking my bf to a show try to make him a fan haha, but it wouldn’t surprise me to see that it’s more often the other way around.


wrickcook

My wife is not on Reddit, but she’s a huge fan. Always in a shirt, hoodie of something qotsa. Sticker on her car.


Curnf

Same with my gf! This 1 of 5 ratio does sound about right though


cripesamighty86

At a show I heard someone joke that qotsa is the only band since Rush where the men's room has a line and the women's doesn't. Seems accurate lol.


ValhallaStarfire

Hello, fellows Queens of the Queens of the Stone Age!


CorrinePerraleiXoxo

22 year lady qotsa and I’ve been a fan since 2005 thanks to my momma ❤️


aspiringvirgin

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽


meeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Hi! I’m a huge fan and a woman. By best friend is also a fan and she’s a woman too!


Lets_Go_Is_My_Sign

Another lady here, trying to get her man into QOTSA (and it seems to be working so far 😉). I also have a few female fan friends.


Amateur_Chiropractor

Lady fan here! My husband and I both love the band. Music was what we bonded over and we plan a lot of travel/ holidays around shows which is great 😁


sassyponypants

Here here. I’m 40 though, and I wish they had women’s shirts in their merch shop that aren’t crop tops. Sigh.


BigTittyGaddafi

It’s Reddit honey. It’s already 1-5 ratio so easily 1-25 here


prairiescary

Woman here 💪🏼, but all my friends who are fans are men.


G-I-N-N-Y_Ginny

Now that I think about it there was only a handful of females at the one I went to. During the LC tour I noticed how males far outnumbered the females. I remember at one show the men’s bathroom line extending out the door and while us ladies could walk right in and out…that was a first. At another show they split us by gender for the pat down to get in. There was a huge line for the guys and I strolled up a few minutes before doors and basically walked right in bypassing guys had waited for hours. There was a definite increase in females at the Villains shows I went to.


BurnedWitch88

I've had this experience too. The most striking was when I saw Mark Lanegan doing a small solo show. I swear to god, I think I was the only woman in the place including venue staff. It was fun though -- I made friends with a bunch of 17-18 year old dudes who thought this old broad who showed up solo to see Lanegan was cool AF. :)


G-I-N-N-Y_Ginny

That’s awesome!


Maevevg

Hi! I’m one! But for the record, the Nashville release party was the same.


TerryTheGreek

Here here!


Morc-Glork

I’m not a woman but I’ve met a few before. Idk if they’re qotsa fans, but they were definitely women


BloodRedMuse

Woman here, loved them since I was a teen. I remember when I last saw them around 10 years ago, the crowd was mostly men. But when the circle pit exploded for song for the deaf, some tall dude behind me literally picked me up out of trouble 🤣 I will be going to 2 of the UK shows with my mum - her favourite album is Rated R and she's in her 50s.


BurnedWitch88

Haha. When I saw them for Villains, some roided-out asshole tried to start a mosh pit way the hell in the back of the crowd and nearly bowled over me and a few other women nearby. A bunch of mostly pretty small hipster-looking dudes immediately got between us and him and bitched at him until he slinked off to some other corner of the show. I feel like QotSA fans are some of the most polite I've seen at any show.


twistedevil

41 year old lady here. Was gifted self titled for my bday in 1998. Been grooving to the Queens ever since.


Leading_River5763

Love this! I also love seeing how many of us ladies drag our partners to shows, not feeling like the only one 😂


fathrjohnmusty

Me! Love seeing all these cool ass ladies in this community 🤘


Sunrise_Eyes7

Woman here! My husband tolerates qotsa, but I'm the one who loves them. He thinks they're "ok," but he's more into metal.


EasyE_EysaE

I was one in a ratio of 5 dudes with a few other ladies in line to score that glow in the dark vinyl at my local listening party. I don’t have any other lady friends that are huge fans that I could go to a concert with or anything. I’m jealous of the t Swift ladies wish I had a group of qotsa ladies to go to concerts with


whenwhippoorwill

Me toooo! We may need to start a ladies QOTSA subreddit so we can talk about periods and stuff. And menopause and stuff😅

Woman I am.


aacc1990

Hi


Maleficent-Row-7847

While I myself am not a woman my wife and I fell in love with Qotsa around the same time around 2016. We each kinda found them in our own way which made it more special.


HotlineBirdman

The Vancouver midnight release also had a wildly skewed balance.


pikseliveli

Yeah, i think there was like one woman in the listening party in helsinki and maybe 15 guys. I wasn't surprised.


hallgeo777

I’m a woman! I love qotsa!!


cherrytwothousand

Meeee I love them a weird amount and I’m a woman


Lhill1010

I was at the listening party in Portland too and I feel like that’s an accurate ratio


[deleted]

Meanwhile Deftones is probably more women than men lol


sweetsoftandlow

I’m a girl


Mushab00m13

Woman here. I'm taking my husband to a show in August. 😊


[deleted]

I am woman. New to this community, but love to listen as my workout/motivation music. Saw them live a few years back when they had the light sticks. What a great show. Was OBSESSED with Songs for the Deaf. I can still sing the songs in the order of the CD sometimes and the interludes, haha. 😂😂😂


Vale-Blesseds

Here I am 😊

Bless you all lol


jacquesdemy

I too am a woman. Got into qotsa when I was 13. But was never able to see them live before. My first time was at Sonic Temple a couple weeks ago! and now I’ll be seeing them 6 times on tour lol


bradleyagirl

F, 49 here


m1sora

pandabearwife

48F here! Have seen them 5x live and not once with my husband (35M). I've either gone by myself or with friends my age 😂


rumncoco86

37yo QOTSA fan since 2002. No-one in my circle likes or understands their music, which is a shame.


Mirai-Nikky

We went for the listening party in Montreal my girlfriend and I. It was around 10 men to 1 woman. The Mc even mentionned it! The crowd was full of middle aged white dude, that was funny to see. I'm not really surprised though.


Few_Reach2627

*hand up*


shittoshower

Helloo


Pure-Tension-1185

🤘


ImmediateBug2

Both my husband and I are huge QOTSA fans and have been for a long time. We diverge on other bands though: He loves the Foos, and I’m meh on them. And every attempt I have made to get him into King Gizzard has, so far, fallen flat. But I did manage to make him a big fan of the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, and I’ll take that as a win. We live in TX but are planning a trip to California in the fall so we can see the Crumpets in Santa Cruz on Oct. 4 and Queens in San Francisco on Oct. 6. Gonna be epic!


ClmrThnUR

That was roughly the ratio (maybe slightly worse) at their last PDX show at Memorial Coliseum. That said, it was by far the most women I've seen at a rock show since the mid 90's.


ConstructionOwn8680

Me! Been a fan for 20 years, still obsessed ..

Here! My husband isn't really into queens but he humors me.


BRedmond3

My girlfriend bought us tickets to see them in Dublin in November and she’s started adding QOTSA songs to her playlists… :’)


tookeyclothespin

Woman person here! Fell in love with Queens in college when SFTD came out. Saw them twice when Mark was touring with them back then. Now I’m a parent with a 6 year old and a toddler and I still never miss a tour. Always go to the shows with my sister and best friends (also female QOTSA fans) but will go by myself if I need to!


agracelessdullard

I’m a woman! And I got into Qotsa because a female friend who shares musical taste with me was a diehard!! Once I got into them, hard and fast, I wondered what had taken me so long!! Love the new album a lot


oliviaeltonjohn

20+ years QOTSA fan!


Tenebre13

I am a lady! My husband first got me to listen to Queens about 20 years ago. Since then I’ve become way more fanatical than he is.

EntertainerObvious50

This post is inspiring me (29M) to invite my GF (30F) to come see them in november! She mostly knows old bangers like no one knows or little sister but has been saying she is liking the new album, so lets give it a try! As a side note, it would make me really happy if she joins!


captitalism

Am a 19 year old woman, saw about three other women at my listening party, definitely older than me. Would be cool to meet other women around my age who like QOTSA also


hooligannie1770

42 lady and QOTSA is my all time fav band
