I fucking love Kyuss.

I’ve been listening to “Wretch” a lot recently - so raw.

Dire Wolf, Grateful Dead

Radiohead

If you hear Jimmy Page talk about the song it brings clarity. He explains that the song slowly builds and by the end reaches it’s climax. If you listen you notice this but to hear him and understand that the song was crafted that way to have that impact. Brilliant and most listeners don’t exactly pick up on it but this is the foundation of the song, secret sauce!

I came late to both Kyuss and QOTSA but from what I remember learning, Kyuss came first and when they broke up Josh started QOTSA, wit Nick and Mark joining him for Rated R. Did they actually play at the same time or was it another band you were thinking of?

That's how I found Kyuss

Dopesmoker

Definitely a special place in my heart, but I like ... Circus leaves town... better. Haven't seen anyone mention them on this thread, but if you like this stuff check out King Buffalo. Easily my favorite band that's active right now, and they have a similar sound. Dead Star is their top album for me.

The mix of the 6 string and the 12 string (both electric) parts are sublime.

Wretch s also superb. Love Has Passed Me By is so raw.

Size Queen and One Inch man are my favourite Kyuss songs. From that last album. I saw Kyuss Lives in 2011. I was just starting to go to shows around the time they broke up, so I missed the chance to see the OG lineups, but for bands of the genre of that era I did manage to see Monster Magnet with Fu Manchu opening. That was the Dopes to Infinity/Daredevil albums for each. Both bands were putting out excellent music at the time and continued to put out great stuff for years afterwards.

That's how I found them as well, at the Melbourne gig. Thought they were awesome.

Scott Reeder played in long white basketball socks and they slowly came off his feet throughout the gig. By the last song he had these super long floppy things hanging off the end of his feet. Was hilarious.

And then Metallica played. Faaaaarrrrkkkk.

One of my all time favourite gigs.

Just a popular electronics company in my country.

And apparently the fifth biggest wearable brand in the world whatever that means.

That was cool, it made me feel this eerie presence around me. Nice and ghostly.

Catamaran is a cover of Yawning Man. And yet it sounds like a Kyuss song.

Splendid album

>play music on his zune

Man I miss the Zune. They weren’t as popular as iPods were but everyone who had them loved them.

Demon cleaner cover pull you in?

>boAt model?

wha?

Ok; rest of the comment still stands. Work out what you will use them for and how, then seek reviews of those in your price range.

Man, fond memories of being a teen and first getting into metal and buying a then-new book called The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal that was as you’d guess a primer on important bands but every now and then the writer would go hard for a name that was off the beaten path and prob the three lesser known bands he blatantly plugged for were Candlemass, Voivod and Kyuss. This was around 2004-05 and I tried to hunt down this and Blues for the Red Sun based on that book but at that time internet shopping was still in a relative infancy. Amazon was a fraction of what it became, specialty stores were hard to search for. Hell, even google was only gaining traction. And Kyuss couldn’t even be found on Limewire to pirate. But I finally managed to get a CD of this, where the tracks were bundled into suites like an 8-track, which initially frustrated me but it helped me fall in love with that whole record. Whether it or Blues is better doesn’t matter to me, they’re both perfect, filthy stoner psychedelia. The Isn’t Anything/Loveless of stoner rock
