Kyuss was an amazing band. Under rated is not even enough to describe how under rated they were. I still listen to them on a weekly basis. Blues for the Red Sun is, by far, one of the best albums ever.

Welcome To Sky Valley is one of those albums that I never tire of. It's riff heaven.

7 out of 10 Kyuss fans never heard of them while they existed. Not a complaint. Happens with most highly influential bands.

their song "Yeah" changed my life

April 5 1993 Adelaide Entertainment Centre South Australia. "We are Kyuss. We are from the deserts of California and we are very STONED. So, let's rock. " And later in the show, " I smell dope, gimme some !" And was promptly given some in the shape of multiple flying weed tins. A fan ever since. 👍

I am one of the 70 percent of Kyuss fans who hadn't heard of them when they were active (I was 10 at the time and in a rural area). I am pretty sure I caught them on Rhapsody back in its heyday and wound up finding their albums. I was absolutely astonished by the layers of genre that they could effortlessly swing through, from blues to metal to space rock and top it off with their own brand of sound. Great stuff and it's a shame that they didn't get the recognition on their own time. But hey, here we are, now!

I live in Arizona, and just took a road trip to Sky Valley to get some pictures of myself with the "Welcome to Sky Valley" sign. Love that album.

I absolutely love the unique studio sound of Kyuss. There is no greater sound.

I have a friend who saw these guy's about 10 times in the 90s. Lucky bastard

I was a mix engineer in my 20's. BFTRS was literally my monitor reference, and how I'd break in my ears before I mixed any guitar stuff ever. For me it was the quickest way to get my bearings in new studios with different monitoring... probably from how many different systems I listened to this album on. It was this and a lot of Juliana Hatfield for some reason. Also some extremely well-mixed records.

GARCIA..sweet remain song.. FRKN awesome..he could sing in any band.

Kyuss is king, I think they are now getting all the respect that should have before. Welcome to Sky Valley is one of the best rock and roll albums of that decade.

My uncle showed me these guys when I was real young, never stopped listening to them

Kyuss was just awesome. And it kills Queens of the Stone Age in every possible way. Check out the documentary Such Hawks, Such Hounds.

"remixing the record because the bass was inaudible" Lars: We don't do that here.

I grow up int the desert/palm desert area. Went to few generator parties in the desert and Nude Bowl. Sky Valley is a “town” in the middle of no where with a 10 mile road cutting through it. Great for star watching. Nice to know Kyuss was a big band that made it from the area.

Seen kyuss open for Metallica in 93 at the Sydney entertainment centre, bassist was playing a Rickenbacker bare foot lol

The tour with the various bands, with totally disparate musical styles, which was actually happening fairly regularly in those days, was reflective of the times, and of bands like Kyuss that were emerging from everywhere. There were many bands that didn't fit neatly into the industry's clearly defined musical, "boxes," like Kyuss, Faith No More, Fugazi, Rollins Band, Corrosion of Conformity (after Pepper joined), Soulfly, Janes Addiction, or Primus, and so many more. The problem was that the people in the companies making up the music industry just didn't get what was happening. They didn't get the direction(s) musicians, and fans, were pushing the envelope. Really, the envelope was pushed, pulled, torn open, started on fire, pissed on, shit on, laughed at, and left behind, by the bands, and the fans, but the industry kept trying to shove these bands into these predefined boxes, and to stick labels on every band. I mean, just the term, "pigeon holed," sounds like something painful, dirty, greasy, and smelled bad, that most people want no part of, (but some masochistic people pay money to get). The industry wanted to define every band by terminology that was outmoded, and no longer fit the reality of that modern music scene. In the studios, they tried to get these bands to tweak their sound to fit those categories, and it was a detriment to what was going on, and what could have been a really really great rebirth of existing styles of music, and the actual creation of genres and styles that simply did NOT conform to the relatively simple-minded boundaries and definitions that were all these companies, and people knew. They could have ridden the shockwaves of new music exploding into the public consciousness, by just getting the hell out of the way and allowing what was happening to happen, and to go with it, to build on it, not to try to define it and stick it in their stupid little boxes. Nope. The experts, of course, knew better than the people who knew what was going on, and the experts were the people who were controlling the industry, and controlling the money.

I like Kyuss more than Queens of the Stone Age. Blues for the Red Sun is just an album I go back to a lot. I remember reading about them buying the cassette and just be blown away. Shame they split up.

I saw Kyuss open for Danzig and White Zombie back in 92. They rocked and had a killer light show I'll always remember. It was like tripping on acid but sober.

Now... THIS was necessary! Big fan but even bigger fan of the band that rose from the ashes of Kyuss.

I’m glad to see Kyuss getting some respect. Generally, their influence on what came after has been underestimated.

Honestly, I would say rather see a Kyuss reunion then anything out from Queens of the Stone Age. Kyuss and Fu Manchu would be such a great desert rock revival tour.

Every album seems to offer a different feeling /vibe, yet it all sounds like Kyuss. QOTSA is very similar. The obvious key ingredient is Josh. It might not have been obvious that he was the driving force in the band before Queens, but became evident pretty quickly. We drove from Pittsburgh to see them(QOTSA) in a show in a little shithole bar in Cleveland in 1998. I helped them carry their gear out to their van after. Yes, they were carrying their own gear! Josh bought ME a beer cause he said the fact that I knew every word to their brand new album, and screamed/smiled/sang/headbanged through the whole show, while standing 2 feet from Josh, totally influenced him during the show. He said, and I'll never forget this, he said "Its the tree in the woods thing. Music can be great, but with nobody to listen to it, it's nothing. But, the good thing is, you only need one person."

Been following this channel for a bit now and this video is a solid take on one of my favorite bands. Fantastic work.

'And the circus leaves town' was always my favourite Kyuss album. Seems really underrated to me.

First time i heard of Kyuss was at a department store in Canberra back in 92/93 i think where I saw a cassette of Blues For The Red Sun; bought it and listened to it on a bus ride home with my trusty Walkman. Been a fan since and their music is part of my listening rotation all the time

I remember when that album came out. My buddies and I were musicians in a couple shared bands and would go to all these metal and punk shows in Riverside and Hollywood. But Kyuss was just so different from what was going on locally (So Ca). Never made it to any of their shows but the word back then was Josh Homme used a bass amp for his thick sound. Overly simple lyrics but such an under rated band. Blues for the Red Sun is one of those early 90s albums that always feels like home.

Got to see Kyuss four times back in the day and interview them a couple of times, once when they opened for Danzig and then ahead of the release of Circus. Got to hang out with Brant during the Babes in Toyland set on the FNM tour. My ex saw them at the Marquee show in Hamburg that a few live tracks have been released from. Was supposed to see them in Nashville opening for Monster Magnet when they broke up. Catherine Enny later sent me the demos for the stuff that ended up on the split Kyuss/QotSA EP. I loved them so so much back then. I still get Brant's records, but don't really feel the vibe from QotSA anymore.

I was one of the people that suggested this because I love kyuss and have since day one, I bought blues for the red sun and it changed my life,I was listening to thrash and it switched me over to heavy rock just in time for grunge, I have continued to follow John and josh's careers and I am a fan of it all.....theres kyuss and qotsa, but for those who didn't know there's also vista chino as the video said but more importantly there is slo burn, garcia's solo records and my favorites in unida and hermano. If you like kyuss you will love unida and hermano. Hermano's last album titled into the exam room is one of the greatest records of all time....seriously check out HERMANO

Unida was my favorite group for a long time

Kyuss was huge in the city i grew up in Kamloops b.c that small city always had a flavor for the underground people loved them

There were people hating them? We smoked a lot of weed listening to them in the 90's, here in montreal... It was freaking good

Kyuss is the most criminally underrated band of all time! I'd even go as far to say that Tool sounds HEAVILY influenced by Kyuss. I am a desert boy (las vegas), seen Kyuss open up for Faith No More in the early 90's at the Huntridge Theater in Vegas. One of the best shows I've ever been to. Patton even pissed in his shoe and drank it, good times!!!

LOVE IT!!! Saw KYUSS open for SCREAMING TREES. I think I may have told U about this .. but the TREES got into a huge fight on stage .. the brothers Grimm guitarists were bumping guts with poor Mark Lanegan.. Mark threw down his Mic 5 songs or so in and said G’NIGHT! So basically KYUSS was the headliner lol.. the backdrop was a giant lava lamp

I caught the end of their show when they opened for Faith No More in Houston not even knowing who they were and became a huge fan later. This is a reunion that needs to happen.

I spent my first 13 years of my life in the Mojave desert in southern CA, near 29 Palms. My grandparents always told me all the hippies moved out there in the 70s, so I guess that's why psychedelic music thrives out there

I got lucky and found Kyuss from a cheap promo copy of their Wretch at the time of release, took a chance and never looked back. Fantastic band and one of the rare bands that created a whole subgenre.

I knew the man who was on the bed writhing around in the Demon Cleaner video. He was also in two Tom Petty videos, I don't remember which ones now though. What I was told was that he got the parts from just being an interesting looking dude in L.A. and being in the right place at the right time!

Been a long time QOTSA fan but never tuned into Kyuss until literally like a month ago and was blown away .. their stuff sounds amazing ... like it came out yesterday .. GREAT vid !

that one Vista Chino record is one helluva fucken record tho..

Blues For The Red Sun is one of the best of the 90's

Mainly learned about Kyuss when I heard a concert recording of Maynard James Keenan sing Demon Cleaner, I guess they brought Scott Reeder (spelling) out to play with them as he introduces him and the song.

It is great to see a video concert of Kyuss. Welcome To Sky Valley is wonderful album but I still love Blues For The Red Sun. And The Circus Leaves Town has some neat songs on it. It is psychedelic and metal heaven.

Yesss i love Kyuss so much. Still listen to them weekly.

Welcome to Sky Valley literally inspired a book I wrote. I fell in love with Kyuss by way of Them Crooked Vultures all the way back in my Sophomore year of High School, and I haven't changed in the ten years since.

Most underrated band of the 90's

Luckly my buddy from work put me onto this band and im ao glad he did. This band has a unique sound. Kyuss is the shit space cadet is one of my favorites

Kyuss is so very under rated. I can't believe it. They were so heavy and raw in their time. So good. I am admittedly biased. I knew how good they were very early on and supported them 100%. I worked for Chameleon. So glad to see that people are listening to them and digging them here and now.

Desert Sessions is RIGHTEOUS

I remember seeing Kyuss in the early 90s at Brisbane Entertainment Centre, supporting someone......

I love that Gardenia song...does something to me everytime I listen to it.....

I've got one of the 500 pressings of the sons of Kyuss EP. It is one of my favourite records

So glad i was able to catch Kyuss Lives! when I was 15.

Saw them open for Danzig at the Warfield in SF in the early 90's and was absolutely hooked.

Love kyuss. Take the album and the circus leaves town and look at it upside down😉👌 love their artwork

Got to see them when the opened for Faith No More. Will always be my most cherished concert moment of all time.

the drummer on welcome to sky valley Alfredo Hernandez is a great friend of my grandpa's. they have an instrumental surf rock band together called The Woody's out here in Palm Desert. check em out!

Don't forget John Garcia went on to form Slo Burn, another criminally underated, short lived band.

We. Did some covers of kyuss years ago... nobody knew what the hell we were doing!!!!... awesome!!!!

It's easy to imagine Hair Band Fans not liking Kyuss. At that time, the Aqua Net crowd wasn't ready for heavy, 70s influenced rock/metal.

Blues for the red sun was huge in Australia

Kyuss helped me through a tough childhood. Now my 5 year old son loves them, too! Life goals accomplished🔥

Cockrel left and Olivari replaced him. Kyuss never had a two guitar lineup. That said- this is the best band you’ve covered yet

Circus has always been one of my favorite albums ever. Great vid.

'Welcome To Sky Valley' is a desert island top 10 for me.

I've never heard of Kyuss, but any band that isn't defined under one particular genre gets my attention. On first listen, they are great, and well worth a deeper dive.

The early 90's pictures bring me back to me being 18... My God what a great era..i loved the grunge style of it. And IMO Girls looked the best from 1992-2002 from a style pov....

Kyuss anyday anywhere!

Early 90’s, my favourite band, not much has changed

Kyuss has always been and extremely underrated band. I still listen to them all the time.

I can not believe you forgot to say they almost created and elevated Stoner Rock as a genre into the world. They were, are and will be the kings of that music.

Kyuss are incredible

I got into them right before they broke up in 95, never got to see them live

Kyuss opening for Metallica in Australia were awesome. Was front row for the Adelaide gig. Kyuss were tight, heavy and ahead of thier time. 🤘✌️ Covid free 🇦🇺

I wish I had known about Kyuss 15 or 20 years ago but I somewhat recently discovered them back in 2015 by hearing Demon Cleaner for the first time in a car racing game. After that I looked them up and I was SERIOUSLY impressed. They are one of my all time favorite bands now.

I really like Kyuss, glad you did a video on them, was about to ask you to! I especially like how they kick drums off on a track, always different, always an absolute powerhouse start. However, I think they're of a time, and Josh is probably right never to go back. He's moved on so much that it would be like an imperfect resurrection, Kyuss Farts!

Fantastic video! Really informative and interesting. Fantastic images. Thank you!

I've been listening to these guys all month!!!

I remember getting labeled a hipster from the metal “community” for being way into Kyuss, Yawning man and Fatso Jetson. If that’s the case, shame me. I am a spit post and proud.

The mighty Kyuss, great music! Never had the chance to see a live concert :/ I use to go to The troubadour to see Unida, Nebula and Fu Man Chu. I love stoner rock. Los Natas is another great stoner band from Argentina worth to listen 🎧!

I listened to And The Circus Leaves Town while on acid, was awesome.

How am I just now finding this channel?! Super stoked

Are ya feelin it now Mr Krabs

I have a newer pressing of "Sky Valley", that I'm super happy to have

I was lucky enough to see Kyuss multiple times. Opened for Danzig at Irvine meadows back in the day. I remember buying “Blues” CD when it first came out and still love and listen to it today. I’m a stone throw away from Joshua Tree/desert area and they definitely made noise for those “generator” parties.

SONS OF KYUSS! YES!!

This band literally changed my life. I discovered them in 2011, since then, I've never left the stoner/doom world and never will ! As a bassist, Sky Valley is for me the quintessence album.

Kyuss is so badass

STILL DYING TO HEAR A SHOW ON THE TOADIES!!!!!! 🤟🏽😍🤟🏽

I get excited to see new recommended channels like this just to find I'm already subscribed. Good shit.

One Inch Man and Green Machine....two of my favourite songs ever and definitely my favourite Kyuss songs. Anything Josh Homme does is a masterpiece. Sexy Ginger Elvis... what a fucking legend🤘🏻💜

'Green Machine' was a big song in my metal-loving yoof.

I think the world would have been a better place had Kyuss had a longer career as a band.

I got to see them open for Babes in Toyland and White Zombie in 95. They got booed off the stage. Deer Creek Music Theater. Noblesville Indiana.

Yessir Kyuss was is the shit❤

Welcome to sky valley is deff top 5 for me!

Your Kyuss playlist needs more videos. 💕
