Kings would be too macho. The Kings of the Stone Age wear armor and have axes and wrestle. The QueensoftheStoneAgehang out withthe Kings ofthe
Stone Age's girlfriends, when they wrestle. And also, it was also just a namegiventousbyChris Goss. He gave us thename Queens of the StoneAge.
Rock should be heavy enough for the boysandsweetenoughforthe girls. That way, everyone is happy andit's more of a party. Kings of the StoneAge, is
too lopsided. -Homme(2000)
