Kyuss - “Demon Cleaner”

Merlin knows exactly how to get my day off to a good start: by making sure the first thing I see on Saturday morning is Queens of the Stone Age live. Heather and I just so happen to have been killing “Songs for the Deaf” for most of last week.

Last night, however, I introduced Heather to Kyuss. Here — on their 1994 album “Welcome to Sky Valley” — we find Josh Homme, pre-Queens, with Scott Reeder’s first album appearance (replacing Nick Oliveri, whose name you know because of QOTSA and Mondo Generator). The drummer? Brant Bjork. He joined Fu Manchu right after this album. What a line-up.

I tried to find a live performance on Youtube, but this song was on one of the Guitar Hero releases, so it’s all video replays of some assbag scoring 100% on Super Duper Expert mode.

Here’s Tool covering it in 1998, having invited Scott Reeder to play bass. So good.

It’s definitely a stoner rock kind of weekend.

Best Kyuss evar.

Kyuss - …And the circus leaves town

If you like Queens of The Stone Age, then you might like this. This is QOTSA before they were…QOTSA. Pretty much the same band except Josh doesn’t sing. The band is Kyuss and seriously they are good. If you like Hommes’s guitar playing some of his best stuff was with Kyuss. As for bass, between Nick Olivieri and Scott Reeder the bass playing in all their music is awesome. I reccomend all their music but “Blues for the red sun” was my favorite.

Enjoy.

Of course, I enjoyed. Thank you. LOVE this album.

Welcome to Sky Vally > Blues for the Red Sun. Doesn’t matter, though, they’re both brilliant. and Kyuss > QOTSA
