Troy and Nick of Queens of the Stone Age Interview - Big Day Out Australia, 2003 (Fly TV)

Nick Olivieri and Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age get interviewed by Fly TV (ABC Australia) backstage at the Big Day Out, Gold Coast on January 19th, 2003. Touring their then new album "Songs For The Deaf". Recovered from old VHS footage. The Big Day Out was an annual music festival that was held in five Australian cities: Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth, as well as Auckland, New Zealand. The festival was held during summer, typically in January of each year but was sometimes held as late as early February in some cities including Perth. The event was conceptualised after the Violent Femmes announced a tour of Australia. Promoters Ken West and Vivian Lees sought another act as middle-level support for the band's tour.[2] They succeeded in securing Nirvana to play the Sydney leg at Horden Pavilion. The Big Day Out debuted on the 1992 Australia Day public holiday in Sydney and eventually expanded to Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth the following year. The 2003 lineup included acts such as Foo Fighters, Janes Addiction, Queens of the Stone Age, Millencolin, Underworld, Kraftwerk, PJ Harvey, Wilco, The Vines, Jimmy Eat World and Deftones.
