Signed limited edition print of the Josh Homme of Queens Of the Stone Age by Dustin Rabin
Air Canada Centre in Toronto – September 10, 2013.
Dustin recalls: I've known Josh for a while now, and he's always been gracious with me. When I was out with Them Crooked Vultures, he made a point of telling me how happy he was that I was there to document that tour, because it's something he'll to want to remember forever. Because of that, I feel comfortable grabbing unique moments like this one during sound check, where Josh stepped out onto the arena floor to have a listen. Not long after this photo was taken, that room was packed with close to 20,000 fans.
