Timeline

1966

Joseph William Castillo (born March 30, 1966) is an American musician.

1984

He started off his drumming career by joining the Los Angeles punk band Wasted Youth in 1984.

1991

After recording two albums and several tours, he left Wasted Youth and joined Sugartooth in 1991.

1994

From 1994 to 2002, Castillo was the drummer of Danzig, recording three studio albums with the band before joining Queens of the Stone Age in 2002 to tour in support of their breakthrough album, Songs for the Deaf.

During the summer of 1994, he formed a short-lived punk rock band named Chronic Halitosis.

They played punk covers of bands like Misfits and Black Flag.

In 1994, Castillo left Sugartooth and joined Danzig, having turned down offers from Slayer and Suicidal Tendencies.

He worked as Chuck Biscuit's drum tech circa '90-'93 and finally replaced him as live drummer on the '94 tours, following the release of Danzig 4.

1996

From that point on, he was (with exception for Glenn) the only constant Danzig member for almost ten years, performing all percussion duties on Blackacidevil (1996), Satan's Child (1999) and I Luciferi (2002).

In 1996, he was featured on Robert Trujillo's solo album, and in 1998 he joined Zilch.

1997

Castillo auditioned for Guns N' Roses in 1997, but did not join the band.

2001

He replaced Goatsnake's original drummer after his departure in 2001, but that was short lived when they split up shortly after.

In 2001 he did backing vocals and drums for some tracks on Son of Sam's album Songs From The Earth.

Castillo joined Queens of the Stone Age without an audition, playing through half a song (Avon) at a last-minute rehearsal when frontman Josh Homme reportedly walked out of the room, and returned saying "I just fired the drummer. The tour starts tomorrow," offering Castillo the gig, for which he remained for 10 years.

2002

He is best known for being the drummer of the hard rock band Queens of the Stone Age from 2002 to 2012.

He is currently a member of Circle Jerks, The Bronx, DOOM Regulator, Zakk Sabbath and Sugartooth, with former bands including Danzig, Wasted Youth, California Breed, Zilch, and Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts.

2005

He recorded two albums, Lullabies to Paralyze (2005), Era Vulgaris (2007), and half of ...Like Clockwork (2013) before being fired by founding member Josh Homme during the process.

2006

Castillo also played on side projects including Mark Lanegan's solo album Bubblegum, Desert Sessions Vol. 9 & 10 and Eagles of Death Metal's second and third albums Death by Sexy (2006) & Heart On (2008), touring with the latter.

2012

Since leaving Queens of the Stone Age and Homme side project Eagles of Death Metal in 2012, Castillo joined California Breed, replacing founding member Jason Bonham, joined Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts, touring with the band before the singer's death in 2015, and joined three groups with former Queens of the Stone Age bandmate Nick Oliveri: supergroups Bloodclot (with John Joseph of Cro-Mags and Todd Youth, former Danzig and Murphy's Law guitarist), Royale Daemons (with Wino), and historic punk band Bl'ast.

Castillo also has joined Zakk Wylde-led Black Sabbath cover band Zakk Sabbath.

In 2023, Castillo along with Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels formed the band DOOM Regulator.

A native of Gardena, California, Castillo began playing drums at age 15, when his grandmother loaned him the money to buy a drum kit.
