He continued: "We're here to dance, everybody's going to get laid, and we don't want security to be all over the place... So don't be a dick. We're not the soundtrack to you fighting, we're the soundtrack to you fucking. If you don't like that, get the fuck out." Homme stepped away from the mic at one point and verbally engaged with the rowdy audience members.

After a stint in Europe, the QUEENS will start a new North American run on January 22 in Victoria, British Columbia.
