He went through the process with us, and now he's like a brother. He was completely an outsider to what we were doing, and that was the one thing that we consciously decided. For this record we wanted to go out of our comfort zone, usually we're around friends of ours. For this one, I think it was important to work with somebody who didn't even know what some of our influences were. Someone completely out of the box for us, and I think he was key in making this record sound the way it does."http://www.clashmusic.com/features/smooth-sailing-queens-of-the-stone-age Smooth Sailing: Queens Of The Stone Age Clash May 28, 2013 Murray Robin July 1, 2013 Joey Castillo's departure During the recording process, longtime drummer Joey Castillo left the band, and former contributor Dave Grohl stepped in to play drums on the rest of the album. Regarding Castillo's departure, guitarist and keyboardist Dean Fertita noted: "We were maybe about a third of the way in, so there was still a lot of work to do. That was an emotional thing for us; we love Joey to death." Nick Oliveri's contribution Former bass guitarist Nick Oliveri, who was fired by Josh Homme in 2004, provided backing vocals on "If I Had a Tail", and upon hearing that drummer Dave Grohl was returning to Queens of the Stone Age to assist in the recording process, Oliveri asked Homme if he too could return on bass guitar. Oliveri noted: "I actually put in a request with Josh. I heard Dave was playing on the record, and I was like, 'Dude! I wanna play bass on it!' I'd be a fool not to ask. If Dave Grohl was playing drums, then I want in. He's an amazing drummer. I never had a better time in my life than when Dave was in the band."http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/nick_oliveri_the_new_qotsa_record_i_cant_wait_for_people_to_hear_it.html Nick Oliveri: 'The New QOTSA Record, I Can't Wait For People To Hear It Bogosian Daniel Ultimate Guitar February 18, 2013 June 3, 2013 May 30, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130530023611/http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/nick_oliveri_the_new_qotsa_record_i_cant_wait_for_people_to_hear_it.html dead Homme ultimately chose current bassist Michael Shuman, who joined the band in 2007 upon Era Vulgaris release. Regarding Oliveri's backing vocal contributions, Homme noted: "Nick and I have been friends since a couple weeks after everything went down in 2004. People don't know that, and it would be awkward for me to run around making sure everyone knew it. Nick recorded his new record at my studio, and then he was going to drop off some records and he said, 'Hey, need anyone to sing backup?' And I was like, 'Actually, yeah, come on in.' That's a nice thing. It was easy. It's nice to know someone since you were a little kid, and still know them."https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/reuniting-with-queens-of-the-stone-age-bassist-was-easy-josh-homme-says-20130411 Reuniting With Queens of the Stone Age Bassist 'Was Easy,' Josh Homme Says Blistein Jon Rolling Stone April 11, 2013 June 3, 2013 Cover art The cover art for the album was created by Liverpool-based artist Boneface.
