Josh Homme's interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe (full video below) is a wide-ranging and emotional ride as he talks music, philosophy and the 11 friends he's lost in recent years, including Mark Lanegan and Taylor Hawkins. But there's also plenty of "gallows humour" – as Homme himself calls it – and his friend Iggy Pop looms large. Like the time he went to a high-end steak restaurant with the Stooges legend and made Homme "fall in love with him all over again"…
"Iggy and I were at Lawry's, the steak place," Homme tells Lowe about the highly-rated restaurant in Beverly Hills. "And he'd always wanted to go, he'd never gone… we go to a goddamn Lawry's and he's wearing just a vest with no shirt underneath, which is already a bit risque for Lawry's where the first time I went, I had to wear a men's mustard colored jacket. Anyhow, so we go in there and Iggy is... He just at one point was like, he goes, 'Is it hot?' And I was like, 'No.' And then he just takes off his vest and puts it on his... He's got no shirt on in Lawry's, and he picks up the steak and he is just eating it with his hands. And I was like, "That was the goddamn best thing I ever saw in my life," because he was being himself. He wasn't hurting anybody.
