Nick Oliveri & Co

omgwtf he was only around for their first two albums. If you're going to talk smack, at least get your facts straight. :Spin:

Well, he was an integral part of those first 2 overhyped, overrated albums that ignited all the genre-defining hootenanny and whatnot. Don't mess with me NAD, or you'll get your King Crimson & Primus bootlegs sauteed in poop.

Whose poop, that Korean MILF? You might convert me to ass-shenanigans if you do that.

Wretch and Blues for the Red Sun are pretty fun albums, but the real good Kyuss material didn't happen until Sky Valley and Circus. And as amazing as Josh Homme's riffs and leads were, the real driving force behind the band was John Garcia's vocals as far as I'm concerned. That dude's howl is what rock n' roll is all about, makes me spin around like a big happy yellow ball of fun. :Spin: (see?)

Kyuss has alot of fine moments but they're so quirky its easy to see why some people aren't impressed. You know, the kind of people who actually believe the new judas priest is gonna be good :Smug:

I'll give you that. Garcia's voice was outstanding, my favorite part of Kyuss.

I'll toss a Kyuss bootleg in for you, to go with the poop.

Awesome, thanks. <-- headbanging at 8:45am is what life is all about

They didn't invent shit. Bands like Mudhoney had been doing the retro heavy rock thing for years before Nick Oliveri & Co. even dreamt of it. They just caught on with the whole "stoner" tag and voila! Instant genre! Nigga, please.

BTW, they're overrated. :Spin:

Yeah, but Kyuss wasn't even "popular" (I use the term loosely) while they were active. The have received much more praise posthumously. And besides, Mudhoney sucks.

 

[swizzlenuts]

I didn't read the thread. Sign me up for some Kyuss.

Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley are fucking phenomenal.

I miss speed. He ruled.

Olivieri, Bjork and Garcia last played together when they reunited this past June for an appearance at the Hellfest, which took place in Clisson, France. Nick and Brant joined John on stage to perform the songs "Gardenia" and "Green Machine" during a headlining appearance by Garcia's GARCIA PLAYS KYUSS project. Video footage of that performance can be viewed below.

Since KYUSS, Garcia's musical projects include SLOBURN, UNIDA and John's most recent band HERMANO, plus side projects with THE CRYSTAL METHOD, DANKO JONES and countless others who embraced the singer from the Southern California desert.

KYUSS, the inventors of Desert Rock, have been in the last ten years much more popular than when they were still around in the early Nineties. So, due to massive public demand over the years to play songs from his old cult band KYUSS, John finally made the decision to give the fans what they want.

The last couple of years John Garcia thought often about reviving his KYUSS legacy on stage. The more he thought about it, the more he really wanted to do this. John commented: "I don't want to do this just for myself, but especially for the fans. Both for the ones that have seen KYUSS live back in the days, and especially for the ones who haven't had that chance. This could be as close as they could get to the real thing. Please bear in mind that this could be a one-off unique opportunity!"

John Garcia (born in San Manuel, Arizona, September 4, 1970) is a vocalist who has been a member of KYUSS, SLO BURN, UNIDA and HERMANO. His vocals have become synonymous with modern stoner rock and the desert rock sound. While still in high school, Garcia help start KYUSS (originally known as SONS OF KYUSS) in 1989 with guitarist Josh Homme. The band produced five albums in total, all of which featured Garcia on vocals.

In October 1995, just three months after releasing what could be argued as their breakthrough album "...And The Circus Leaves Town" (thanks to MTV airplay), KYUSS broke up. Their last recording was a 10" vinyl on the now-defunct label Man's Ruin Records, which was later re-released on a split CD with Homme's QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. The band has been on an indefinite hiatus ever since and has reached a legendary status, influencing thousands of new young rock bands.&#65279;

Hopefully they'll do a few U.S. dates.

 

[Morfeind]

Wow, that's great news. I really wish Homme was involved but if they play anywhere near Seattle I'm there.

[Conspicuously Absent]

[General Zod]

Interesting. I'll definitely be curious to hear this. I've become a massive Brant Bjork fan over the last two years, and am even more interested in this project than I would have been previously.

you owe me five bucks

Well.. it sounds good. John still sounds pretty solid. Without Josh Homme, and having Nick Oliveri playing the material he didn't write, it's still just a cover band. With all due respect.

i'll raise you CoC
