KYUSS (!!) on Tour

[elSalvadore]

Jeder, der mit Heavy Rock / Stoner Rock / Desert Rock was anfangen kann, sollte Kyuss kennen. Die Typen sind Legenden in der Szene und gelten als eine der Begründer des Stoner Rock. Die (fast schon sagenbehafteten) Generator Parties in der Wüste vor Palm Desert, CA waren der Geburtsort. Aus Kyuss sind nicht nur QOTSA hervorgegangen, sondern unzählige andere einflussreiche (Stoner Rock) Bands.

Members of Kyuss have gone on to form or play in several notable bands including Queens of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Dwarves, Brant Bjork, Eagles of Death Metal, Mondo Generator, Hermano, Unida, Slo Burn and Them Crooked Vultures.

1996 aufgelöst; ich hab mir nie gedacht, dass ich sie jemals live erleben darf, alle Anfragen, bezüglich einer Reunion, wurden stets abgelehnt:

The offers come in all the time. They're getting more and more expensive, and more and more elaborate. The money is crazy, but I've never been tempted – I don't really care about the money, I never have. That's not what KYUSS was about, so to punctuate the end of our sentence with that would be blasphemy. KYUSS fans are so fuckin' rad, they're fuckin' badass ”” but to me, reunions are just not necessary. It's not what it was, it's what it is, and KYUSS was a really magical thing ”” and if you weren't there, well, you weren't. That's just the luck of the draw. I don't feel the urge to do it for somebody who didn't have the opportunity to see us, or just didn't take the opportunity to see us. I'll let other bands alter their great legacies. KYUSS has such a great history that it would be a total error. I like that nobody saw KYUSS, and that it was largely misunderstood. That sounds like a legend forming to me. I'm too proud of it to rub my dick on it.
Josh Homme to Joel McIver, May 2007

Nun, Josh Homme ist bei der Tour nicht dabei, damit kann ich aber leben.

Scott Reeder also commented on a possible Kyuss reunion in early 2008, saying "I think everyone but Josh would do it in a heartbeat". Reeder also noted that he would "do it for free beer again".
