i had the luck to discover and understand their music in 1994. i loved them that time goin to school with walkman. i still think they could have done 3-4 more great albums without getting boring at all. i f they did 3-4 more albums and then quit in 2000, everything would be perfect. and i guess the split was only because difficulties between homme + garcia. and i also guess i know why: the last 2 years garcia was damn often drunk or drugged on stage, performing + behaving not really cool. josh was pissed about that, because it was not nice for the audience/fans...

Flipper1974nz There with ya. Kyuss was it. Around that time Blues for the red sun came out(Green Machine) after I saw that on, what was formally Music Television. I became everything Kyuss(& Ministry) the only bands i wouldn't pawn. When Kyuss split up,(I thought that blue cd was another Kyuss release called Queens of the stone age) I thought that's a fucked up name for a record. Then history happened. Whoda thunk it?

Who is this chick? Damn it !!! overthink the shit. When it came out All I could say is it's Kyuss, Spark it up & hit play. By the time Green Machine started(anyone who listened to uninterupted Blues for the red sun, knows what i'm saying. Nothing else like it(at the time that reached Rual Missouri) 25yrs later QOTSA are what they are. Homme's a riff god, but there are others that were there with him.

@TonyRedgrave1501 4 жыл бұрын

@@DerNerver Josh Homme and Brant Bjork wrote all songs. The others have nearly no writing credits. Slo Burn and Unida sound more like Kyuss because they simply copied the sound.

@Filippo Buono Brant Bjork came into an already made band. Fu Manchu's sound was established. Scott Hill is the primarily writer and band leader in Fu Manchu. It changed a bit with Bjork and the new guitarist Bob Balch though. It was less fuzzy and more groovy in the period with Bjork.

I was 18 in 1992. Kyuss was and still is my favourite band. Total OG. NOBODY PLAYED LIKE THEM BEFORE. Everybody today is talking about Nirvana. Nirvana was mainstream back then, kinda like Ed Sheeran today. To all the young people here. This was the shit back then. And like Hommie says : if you weren't there , well, you weren't. Nirvana was far from original, if you have doubts about it, go listen to the wipers or melvins or sonic youth. Todays confirmation of mediocrity made nirvana a legend.

Anytime you stray from what your first reaction to something is...you end up second -guessing yourself, and we don't wanna do that sort of thing" In regular life, you have to second-guess, I guess, but damn it, I know from hundreds of failed attempts to write songs, that what Josh says here rings true. Problem is, if you end up writing ten different songs that seem like they come from ten different musical universes you have no clue about your identity musically and so it doesn't feel like you got 'something' in singular. But being honest is a must - some fTYUTUYYTkn how!
