Biffy Clyro: 'Homme was intimidating'

Biffy Clyro drummer Ben Johnston has admitted to being intimidated by the presence of Queens Of The Stone Age singer Josh Homme.

Homme appears on the band's upcoming album Only Revolutions and plays guitar on the track 'Bubbles'.

Johnston told BBC Newsbeat: "He's an intimidating guy - when he walks in the room he commands respect. He is very intimidating - purely by the size of him - and the size of his hands when you shake them.

"You need two hands to shake one of his. He's a big sweetheart and a true rock and roller and I'm sure he could out party just about anyone."

Frontman Simon Neil added: "What he put on the record was amazing - we love Josh but if it was rubbish it wouldn't have gone on.

"I saw Queens Of The Stone in 1997 in the Glasgow Cathouse and 12 years later Josh is playing on our records - that's a dream come true for us."

Neil confirmed that Homme worked on another song with the band but said that the track "didn't quite work out" and will not feature on the album.
