INFO: Kyuss was one of the definitional metal bands to come out of the desert rock scene back in the late 80s and early 90s. Instead of the staccato riffs typical of metal at the time, they created more groove based metal that borrowed more from psychedelic rock and blues. It was quite outstanding at the time and they quickly grew in popularity in just a few short years. They released four studio albums, but decided to disband in 1996 because of an unstable line-up and artistic differences. Many of the original members went on to join and create new bands. But Kyuss resurfaced under other band names in the future, then disappeared again. Sadly, none of the new incarnations of Kyuss lasted very long. But the side-effect of their short-lived presence is the rise of the stoner- and desert rock community. A passionate congregation of bands, scenes, forums and influencers that to this day keep the sound that Kyuss originally created alive and well. In this video i’ll introduce you to the brief history of Kyuss.
What stoner rock or desert rock related topic should i talk about next?
Lie Likes Music Fu Manchu!!!!!!!!!
1000 mods
Stoned jesus
I am planning to listen some live stoner rock in greece this march during my honeymoon also which place in europe is best for good bluesy psychedelic music
Sleep
Kyuss is like, the best thing stoner rock has ever made. They're the fathers of stoner rock
Yeah bro them along side sleep are so wicked!
I've been listening to Kyuss since "Wretch".Since then?.. everything Nick,John,Brandt,Alfredo,Scott,& of course Josh has been a part of?...I own an actual hard copy whether vinyl/Cassette/or CD.In my personal opinion none of them will ever top with they did together on"Blues for the Red Sun","Welcome to Sky Valley","...And the Circus leaves Town","Kyuss/QOTSA split EP","Muchos Gracias(The Rhino Disc)....Slo-Burn,Unida(& the Unida/Dozer Split EP),Hermano,The Desert Sessions,QOTSA,Kyuss Lives!!!(short lived),John Garcia Solo Stuff,Vista Chino,Brandt Bjork Solo Stuff,ETC......NOTHING will EVER touch what Kyuss did for ALL of us in the stoner rock world.They're as important as a band like Sleep or Spirit Caravan.....or most importantly OLD Black Sabbath(Josh's guitar rig,electric Ovation he used on those albums,& his playing style will NEVER be achieved again(Even if attempted,I doubt the four O.G. members themselves could accurately reproduce it again in the modern era with the"Soul"the original albums had).
Black Sabbath surely is
Even Homme would credit this to Black Sabbath....come on man
BlackPhoenix Family Homme apparently never listened to Black Sabbath during the Kyuss days. But Garcia and Oliveri were both fans.
I broke my leg at a kyuss concert in Berlin. It was amazing!
Pinki Mietz Actually, I broke my leg at a Kyuss concert in Berlin. It was amazing.
No way, even i broke my leg at a kyuss concert in Berlin. It was amazing!
I broke my kyuss and a leg Berlin in amazing. It was concert!
I'm 47 years old I consider Kyuss to be the Black Sabbath of my generation. I still listen to their music at least a couple times a week. And I can't play just one song it's got to be the whole thing.
The whole desert rock scene is so interesting, love learning more about it
Jason dude Cool! Then you have a lot to look forward to. That's my focus atm.
ua-cam.com/video/sivc-uxkcu0/v-deo.html you should watch this documentary
@@HolyAnimor96 super interesting doc for sure. By far the best one I've seen on the desert scene.
Talking about my favorite band that I never had the opportunity to watch them live cause I was still sperm!!, you got my attention sir.
The intro to Gardenia is my fave intro of all time
I got to open for Kyuss back in the day.
Spent many an hour traversing the galaxies at lightspeed listening to Kyuss
I discovered that desert and stoner is my sound far too late in life. But I'm so glad I did
Actually the greatest DOOM , STONER ALBUM IS " MASTER OF REALITY , BLACK SABBATH NO.1
dude i like ur channel but its so obvious that u are literally just reading the wikipedia article to us
Again and again
I saw Kyuss in 1993 support Metallica in Brisbane Australia. None of us had heard of them but after the show I was like wow, Metallica just got done by their support act.
I saw Kyuss play live in '92 - they toured Australia with Metallica.
I have been in love with Kyuss and the band members' various projects ever since.
As much as I like and respect grunge music and all the bands involved in the movement, I honestly think that Kyuss and their music is the best thing that 90s gave to rock music
you correctly mentioned Stoned meadow of doom, but hey, you did not mention one of the greatest online community: the facebook group Kyuss World! For the next video? what about a focus on the greek stoner bands like 1000mods, Nightstalker, Godsleep, Puta Volcano, Villagers of Ioaninna City, Tuber, ecc.
Naxatras!
That's true. Thanks for pointing them out!
You do a disservice by not mentioning neither Mario Lalli and or Fatso Jetson....and the fact it was Mario's generator that facilitated MANY of the original desert generator parties....
Dumb remark anyone interested enough can look that up Mario had his own shtick!
My fav band of all time, along with all josh homme stuff, Tool, led zeppelin, Radiohead, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Mars Volta, NIN and etc
Nice.
Ashraf Rahman I see, you are a man of culture
Hell ya man
Nice flex but whatever. If you like Kyuss you might like Karma to Burns first album.
Josh is a fucking DICK
Katzenjammer, i think the translation would be a cat's wailing, as in dissonant and uproaring sounds.
Homme hates the term 'stoner rock' or 'desert rock'. Kyuss was a great and unique band, not simply a genre in some category.
Yeah Ginger Elvis has been running from the truth for a long time.....
@@damagejackal10 guess thats why there is so many different styles of stoner rock today....wtf is with these rock snobs here
BlackPhoenix Family he hates the people who made him famous. He is a tool.
@Toxic Potato Lables aren't important to genuine artists. They resent being pigeonholed into any preset style.
That's why he's an Artist and you work a regular job.
I seen kyuss lives at download festival sometime between 09-12 before I even knew what stoner rock was.
I was a kid and damn grateful my mum has good taste
While everyone else in high school was listening to crappy emo shit, I was listening to this powerful, awesome band.
@@redlikewater2453 Prison? I discovered them in middle school. I knew there was something special about their music right away. Had never heard anything like it before.
I used to catch hell in 95 96, cuz everyone was listening to the grunge scene.....still jamming to it still today!!! Love slo burn and hermano and unida.....all good to me.
great video man :) I'm a big fan of Kyuss's music but I have never heard of Vista Chino, so thanks so much for introducing me to them.
since you're from Norway, are you familiar with the band Lonely Kamel? They are one of my all-time favorite Blues Rock/ Stoner Rock bands. If you don't know them I highly recommend you check them out :)
It's so cool that i got to introduce you to that. Enjoy! Never heard of Lonely Kamel. But i'll make sure to give them a listen. Cheers
Gene Bone definitely agree with QOTSA. I’m gonna check out the other stuff :)
Gene Bone alright, thanks a lot for the recommendations :)
Nice man. What is you're favorite Kyuss album? Blues for the red sun is my personal favorite, so much nostalgia.
The Coriolis Effect I love Blues for the Red Sun but Iike Sky Valley almost just as much :)
Homme is the Billy Corgan of stoner rock. A prick, yet a genuis.
By the way, the German word “Katzenjammer” refers to particularly dissonant music that is compared to the “squealing of cats.” Cool band name, even if the meaning does not describe Kyuss’ quite harmonic melodies & hook lines.
Yeah, it would be more like MOURNING cat, not "morning cat" 😂
Nice to hear that's there more people loving Kyuss here in Norway. Maybe there should be arranged an uncommercial generator festival in our cold dessert somtime!
Love Kyuss and appreciate Unida 👍🏼
Got to see Kyuss Lives in 2010s. It was great. Had listened for years never thinking it would happen
Next can you do a Understanding Nirvana or Exploring A Perfect Circle?
Kyuss is incredible i will always hear them for sure.
Working on a desert-rock project with some buddies, hoping to get something tangible soon. The whole genre is a huge influencer and it reaches a fair mix of people.
Glad I live in the desert -Phoenix,AZ. A lot of cool desert rock/metal bands local bands out here. It’s a tradition!
Another great video as always. I’d love it if you’d check out the legendary band Billy Trailer and the Sunny Deez. I have a feeling you’d love them :)
The lawsuit thing isn't correct. Josh Homme heard that John and Brant were going to take the rights for the name "Kyuss" and so he filed a lawsuit against them. In fact, he didn't mind them playing under Kyuss Lives! and even went to a few of their shows. He talks about it in his most recent interview with Kyuss World.
First encountered them on the Metallidoodles tour of Australia in Perth - we were like "Wow, these dudes rock" although the idiot production crew left the house lights on during their set..
Very cool video. I was listening to this stuff back in the day. Kyuss was great. Another few bands that I remember being just as influential back then was St Vitus and Monster Magnet. Great time to be alive.
I have been driving into QOTSA and the eagles of death metal for a while.
And have been digging it.
So eventually I'll get into kyuss.
If you can get passed the vocals, you will love it! Garcia isnt for everyone.
Can't forget Them Crooked Vultures!
@Gene Bone yeah i know. Just letting the guy who hasnt heard kyuss have a little background. Hell i LOVE kyuss. But everyone i know who doesnt like them, doesnt like them BECAUSE of garcias vocals. They ALL get the stank face until the vocals come in! ✌
Check out Elder: Dead Roots Stirring. Kyuss and QOTSA used to be at the top of my list, until I found Elder.
I Saw them in the 90's in The Netherlands....in a small Venue.....a piece of history in rock!👏
Very informatiev video....
I've heart other reasons why bjork left Kyuss, it had something to do with Josh Homme publicing the songs (getting it on his name and owning the rights to it) Also he was kinda ruling the band, while bjork started it.
Even his Wikipedia entry says so. Josh was not willing to play songs bjork came up with.
Josh is obviously very talented and a real important part of what Kyuss was, but he seems such a control freak and a bit of a dick.
@Gene Bone They are both very talented and both very important parts of Kyuss,(Just like stoner rocks lennon and Mcartney) Josh did not write all of Kyuss music.
On Blues for the red sun it's close to a 50/50 split in lyric and music credit (odd one by other members), with some amazing songs lyrics and music fully credited to Brant like Green Machine .
Then on Sky valley Brant is credited lyrics and music for two songs, again including one of the best Kyuss songs Gardenia
These two albums are regarded by many as the best Kyuss albums.
Personally i think after Kyuss they have both done good stuff, Brant Bjork's Jalamanta is perfect such a unique album that everyone should own, but apart from that rest of what he has done i kind of so so pretty generic and not really a fan of Fumanchu.
Josh went on to do three great albums with QOTSA but IMHO shit went down hill real fast after Nick got kicked out.
He also did some interesting stuff with dessert sessions
To be fair i think Josh is a better composer of songs, more unique but Brant like it or not is a veyr talented musician and responsible for some amazing Kyuss songs, together they were something bigger than their individual parts.
Same with Garcia, IMHO slow burn was as good as anything Kyuss did but the rest of the stuff he has done has been so so.
All three together though and they are something special and unique, again just like the Beatles of stoner rock.
BTW. Id expect the real reason Brant left Kyuss was it seemed to become more about Josh, you can see this even with Josh taking over most of control on Sky Valley.
Anyway end of the day i think its a good thing they ended after Circus and a good thing Josh stopped them using Kyuss lives name which was tacky, and good thing they couldn't use the Kyuss name.
Because it would have ruined the legend of Kyuss.
I just wish QOTSA had also hung up their boots after Songs for the deaf and ended on a high note instead of going on to produce the crap they do now.
Would have been much better if they had reformed under a different name.
Gias1 he took over publishing and froze the others out, refusing to record their work.
This is beautiful! One of my fav bands all-time! Unsung legends
I fucking love Kyuss, sky valley is so underrated
The band actually split in late Sept 1995
An honorable mention of bands after Kyuss is John Garcia’s Slo Burn. The album Amusing the Amazing is fantastic
You should have talked about that Kyuss/QOTSA split EP. One of my favorite albums!!
I think i mentioned it in here. Did you watch the whole thing?
Lie Likes Music I’m pretty sure I did. I don’t remember it was a while ago and I posted this comment I think longer than a week ago Hahahah
I watched Kyuss in 93' support Metallica in Sydney, mind blowing. Named my first son Kyuss, absolutely love the band, reflects my musical soul. I meet Brant n John backstage at a Kyuss Lives show in 2011. So stoked
Daz B I missed them cause we got to the Melbourne gig late. I heard John got kicked out of the Melbourne gig cause he jumped into the crowd and bouncers thought he was just a fan...they didn’t realise he was a part of the band 🤣
@@laynevlogz4922 oh no bummer u missed it. Lol thats hilarious
European "Kyuss" type of band"Roachpowder".('Viejo Diablo'--'Atomic Church).CHECK THESE GUYS OUT!!!!!
Finally some history on kyuss bro thanks a lot!!
Ey no problem! I thought about doing this one for a long time. Thanks for watching.
This isn't stoner rock but maybe you could talk about dinosaur jr someday
honestly, dino is totally stoner rock ;) in its own way
Nick Unger It totally is..
thanks for this, still learning about stoner rock
I saw them open for White Zombie and the Reverend Horton Heat back in August 1995. Fucking awesome.
" josh hommie
In Perú (yes Perú) there's a small but great stoner rock scene.
share it bro :)
that's awesome, it's wats cool about the scene, there's bands from absolutely everywhere!
please give the names for us :)
I saw them in Perth, Western Australia in 1993 during the Metallica tour. I didn't know who they were and the blew me away!!! I was so impressed by them and became an instant fan and still am. I actually preferred them to Metallica that night. They were a lot more interesting and even heavier sounding and intense but never aggressive like Metallica were.
YES YES YES YES
Glad you're into it ;)
Lie Likes Music Well, Kyuss are my favourite band of all time so anything related to them is interesting to me
Hermano was a favorite for me, David Angstrom is a great guitarist for Garcia's vocals.
@Gene Bone Googling larynx
God bless you kyuss...yeaaahhh
I love Kyuss!
And so do my neighbours!
KatzenJammer means wailing cat or MOURNING cat. It's essentially a cat wailing in anguish. Not "morning cat". It implies noise.
Thanks for making this video, Kyuss is my all-time favorite band, even though I listen more to rap and indie rock now
Honestly i don't listen too much to Kyuss either. But i tune in here and there. Personally i listen to all kinds of genres. It's really hard to keep track of what i listen to mostly.
I love to think of Kyuss as being a "SandWing" dragon band from the "Sand Kingdom" (which is a fictional desert "kingdom" in Pyhrria - Pyhrria is a fictional continent in the Wings of Fire "world"). SandWings are a breed of desert-dwelling dragons - it's easy and fun to imagine Kyuss fitting this bill. Also - Chris, you should definitely record a video talking about Fu Manchu, my second-favorite stoner rock band ever! 🔥🤘🐲💯🎸🏜 Ntm Kyuss, Sleep, and Fu Manchu are all from my home state of California - Kyuss is from Palm Springs, Sleep is from San Diego, and Fu Manchu are from San Clemente, CA. 👌😎😜
I saw Kyuss Lives! in Winnipeg and Scott was playing bass. I assume he got paid. Fkn Hypocrite. Brant has been doing the frontman thing for 20 years now. Groovy as fuck.
*Also what's up with the fake ST [Suicidal Tendencies] logo on the skull at 11:02? Yeah, you really have no clue wtf you're talking about....
Eugene Oregon 1992 opened for Mudhoney great sets by both groups IMHO Blues... is timeless and must be listened to start to finish
No mention of Dave Grohl endorsing the band in '92 and giving away Blues for the Red Sun albums to a bunch of people, eventually leading to a call from Metallica. Other than that good vid.
Desert rock, palm rock !! Oh stoner rock!! 😂😅 its all black sabbath!! All of it
I saw them in 2010! I was 16 at the time, I remember wailing the lyrics to white water with two buddies. One of the best concerts of my life.
Seen these guys in St.Louis in the early 90's. They were Badass! I really wished they would have continued, their sound was unique as hell at the time and they were awesome to see live. Good times.
My boy Stoned Meadow of Doom!
Quite outstanding at the time.... Some of those other members fkt up! QOTSA was so dope
Unpopular opinion but I've lost a lot of respect for Josh Homme, Kyuss has a lot of life left in it and whenever anyone tries to do anything with it he comes along and shoots it in the face!
Never liked qotsa that much but kyuss fucking rules!!?
No mention of white water.....the only problem with the track is it's not long enough.
YEAAAA MOTHA FUCKEN KYUSS MANNN
SIX HUNDRED SIX MILES PUR HOUAH !!!!
Vista Chino is a street that runs from Palm Springs to Cathedral City in the Coachella Valley 🤙🤙
“I’m one of a kind, I’m designer.” You don’t say Josh Homme
Hey lie thanks for introducing me to this ! Highly appreciated
-brokunas
Hey Lie, whatcha know 'bout booking shows in Oslo?
Katzenjammer means cry of a cat, not morning cat.
Pinki Mietz I guess i meant to say mourning cat. That's basically like a sad/crying cat.
Cat yammering, lol.
The closeset thing to Black Sabbath and Can having a baby is Kyuss.
The internet panhandling got you an immediate dislike from me.
Opening statements abut their split are wrong... sad.
Nick Oliveri with hair: world view flipped upside down.
Katzenjammer = being in a whining mood, like a whining cat.
Do you have any idea how many names/words you mispronounced?
Did you compare trash metal with stone rock?
They were never a metal band... they never tried to be a metal band. For some reason you introduce them as a metal band but then call them a rock and stoner rock band for the rest of the clip.
oslo norway? black metal video when?
stoned meadow for the fucking win!!!!
Does anyone know the specific beef Josh and John have?
Great video man, i loved it. Kyuss is one of my favorites band of all time. I checked Vista Chino because of this, loved it also, thanks a lot
Cool, i'm glad you gave them a listen. And same here. Been a fan of Kyuss for over 10 years now.
Wow, Josh Homme is a jerk wtf 😅
Kyuss is amazing, but Vista Chino is pure class.
@Gene Bone VC is richer, more mature and an evolution. Unida is great, but just more of the same.
do a brief history of type o negative
Hi. I am German/Austrian.
„Katzenjammer“ means Sonething More sophisticated. It is Used as a figure of Speech; you use it to describe the coming back to life After a wild Night/ getting sober from intoxication and Realizing what had Happend the Night Before (this feeling is Used to be the „katzenjammer“ Afterwards). And yess; Katzenjammer literaly translated means „catwhine“.
KYUSS is Best.
thank you for your Attention.
Tschüss
I like morning cat better.😼
This is one of my favorite bands. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Mine too. More desert and stoner rock mini documentaries coming your way soon, so hit the notifications if you want more. Cheers
no mention of slo burn??
Saw them open for Screaming Trees during the Sweet Oblivion Tour in 92/93.. their back drop was just a moving lava lamp on a screen.. and it was PERFECT.. little did I know.. KYUSS BECAME THE MAIN ACT LOL.. 3 songs into Screaming Trees .. Mark Lanagan and Van Connor got into a fight on stage .. Mark threw his mic down and stormed off stage.. show over ! Lights up!! Soooo.. KYUSS!!! Lol.. was worth it though, and the Trees made up for it by doing a great show opening for Soundgardens 2nd leg of Superunkown tour in Seattle 94
in greece now stoner is super huge
And as always fans are the worst
Kyuss was never Metal.
Loved the vid! Please, make another about all the Kyuss-related bands like Vista Chino, Hermano, Slo Burn, Unida, Fu Manchu, Mondo Generator etc. and one of the most recent one - Stöner! Their sound still kicks ass 🔥
