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?

My memory of that night was a LOT of hair on stage, way more hair than you actually see in this interview. Clearly Scott Reeder is responsible for burning this memory into my brain. What a cool night

I know! Brant has always been this beautiful humble soul, even now to this day, he speaks so fondly of Joshua and I've never heard or seen him talk bad about the whole Kyuss war. He is very honest about it all but he remains to be very respectful and loyal and I totally agree, Brant is the number 1, I've always been in loouuve with him! I finally got to see him play earlier in the year and my god he was fantastic.....

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.

(About lyrics) "We have no control .... 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!

The munchies must have been driving John nuts!! He just had to eat that whatever that was in that take out container.

The second album "Blues for the Red Sun" was the start of the "Kyuss Sound" and that had more in common with Black Sabbath than with Black Flag.
