Pretty good for a Los Angeles-based combo that released its major-label, self-titled debut 35 years ago when President Ronald Reagan was still in office. Singing about his insatiable appetites while giving “the man” the middle-finger, Farrell's unorthodox street narrative on “Whores” unfolded in an encompassing dreamlike haze while Van Leeuwen, Avery and drummer Stephen Perkins collectively sounded like they had the strength to flatten everything, including today's poseurs and nonbelievers, in their path.
Looking like extras from “From Dusk Till Dawn,” Etty Lau Farrell led the scantily clad, politically incorrect and very limber ladies into some risqué numbers on monkey bars and hobby horses that would even make Rob Zombie blush. Then again, you also had three long-haired, high-kicking cabaret dancers led by former Pussycat Doll (and Perry Farrell’s wife) Etty Lau Farrell.
On stage, Queens of the Stone Age’s guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen has been filling in for glam-rock guitar god Dave Navarro, who has been sidelined for the latest Jane’s Addiction tour due to his continued battle with “long COVID.” By the time Van Leeuwen let it rip on the guitar during the second number, “Whores,” no one was missing Navarro anymore.
