Kyuss are the real deal. I put them in the same bracket as Sabbath, in terms of song craftsmanship and pure fkn enjoyment. They had the meandering Doors-esque songs like Whitewater, they had the heavy tracks like Spaceship Landing, and they had the 3 chord trick radio friendly belters like Green Machine. Each album is a little different, different feel to each one. My favourite is And The Circus Leaves Town, has it all!!! Go deep dive down that rabbit hole Richard, Kyuss are too good to pass by.
@@acidreign6 Music isn't a competition. As far as advancement and sound and impact on the genre, I would compare them to Sabbath. But again, it is like middle school arguments about the best guitarist.
Fun fact, the name Kyuss was the name of a god in their D&D game. Electric Wizard is quintessential doom, anything off the dopethrone album is some of the most influential stuff of the genre, Funeralopolis is my favorite
This album is truly meant to be listened to as an album. Judson mentioned getting bored with the extended quieter ending, but in the context of the album, it's an interlude leading right into the next song. It would be hard for me to pick one song to represent this album; heck, on the CD, the album is only split across three tracks, with several songs per track. The band meant for it to be listened to in big greasy chunks.
Kyuss is awesome! I'm 46 and when I was around 22 I was in a pawn shop buying CDs and I saw Welcome to Sky Valley in there. I had seen the video for Green Machine from the previous record so I bought it. Holy shit. The entire album is awesome.
I saw Kyuss live in April 1993 in Perth Western Australia. They were backing up Metallica and I had no idea who they were. They blew me away! They blew Metallica off the stage IMO. I became an instant fan. Went out and bought BFTRS not long after and then Sky Valley when it came out. Sky Valley is in my top 5 of all time for sure. Loved Circus and was devastated when they broke up. It was like I lost somebody close to me or broke up with someone I was really in love with.
If you have not heard of them, the greatest Stoner/pyschadelic rock band out there is a band called Monster Magnet. Extremely underated and don't as much recognition they deserve. Their Last Patrol album is so god damn good.
Kyuss were so good and this is my favourite album of theirs. The best post-Kyuss band is Unida. John Garcia was never not great. So easy to tell that this was a Brant Bjork written track. His style is all over this one
Electric wizard, goatsnake, warhorse, sleep, cathedral, down. And going off on a tangent neurosis would be an interesting journey. They go from post apocalyptic doom/sludge to ambient acoustic stuff.
WTF. How did I miss this? Been listening to Kyuss since Blues was released. Used to fall asleep with it in my discman. Scott Reeder is one of my bass heroes He has a self release that should be listened to more.
I really like your interpretation of the whitewater as an analogy for a messy relationship or being a mess when coming out of one. Fits the music really well i think. Another great (measures) addition to my stoner rock rotation, thanks!
Josh Homme is one of the greatest riff writers of all time. You guys hitting Morphine (the most underappreciated Boston/Cambridge bands of all time) and then going into the greatest stoner riff bands ever makes me very happy. You guys are the best.
Whitewater story - My wife had a near death doing a raft on Maine rivers before she met me. She had to fight that water to survive to meet me. As for the song, BIG reminder that this album had songs broken up in to 3, 3, and 4 songs. The songs flow together that way. Like the Whitewater.
I'd like to suggest a documentary (well 2 if you can find the other one) and it's basically about the Stoner/Doom/Sludge scene. Just something yous can watch on your own time to learn more about the genre and it's major influences. There is a great quote from one of the members of the band Earthless "The song remains the same. If you wrote a great riff why not play it for the whole song?" haha Anyways that one is called "Such Hawks, Such Hounds." and that was on UA-cam for the longest time. The other one is called "Lo Sound Desert" and was a PPV type video. That one focuses solely on the whole California Desert/ Palm Desert music scene and how it grew and then fell.
definitely need to expose him to some ELECTRIC WIZARD, absolutely nothing compares to their sonic extremity, supercoven, chrononaut, and their first 4 full length albums have no equal in how CRUSHING a sound one band can create
Love me some Kyuss! And Chicago as well. And I was thinking that Kyuss sounds like a lovechild of Tool and Smashing Pumpkins. And both bands came up in conversation as well. Weird that I have never though that before. And you should definitely do Kingston Wall at some point.
Skyvalley is a masterpiece. There is some really good live footage of Kyuss playing a lot of this album. I recommend 👌. Josh plays through a bass amp and why it's so muddy in tone. It will grow on you. I had the same issue out the gate with Kyuss.
Relationship !? Always thought this was about mother nature or something like that, "in your valley beneath your skies, I'm home...". Super chill desert vibes.
I agree ..check out Gardenia next....Whitewater is cool, but it's an atmospheric instrumental deal really. You need that John Garcia vocal and heavy riff to really get Kyuss
@@Nebuloid1 absolutely! “Rays of the sun/To the shrine builder” is my suggestion for OM. Fu Manchu I’d suggest “the falcon has landed”. Electric wizard Id suggest “return trip”. Stoner doom/rock is my forte, I’ve got so many suggestions lol.
I agree that The Other One ( TGD ) and this song have similarities, but this sounds like it was intentional, whilst the former sounds like a bunch a trippers playing what came to them at that precise instance.
Please, if you can, make a reaction on Dimmu Borgir (Progenies of the great apocalipse) and Age of Silence (Acceleration). I bet the pianist will find it interesting!
Great song, i love the fuzzyness! if you want another sugestion, listen to a french band called Slift. They are simply amazing! I recommend to watch the video: LIONS, TIGERS & BEARS (Live)
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan? The band is call "Lovebites" They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth. They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal. And they have a lot die hard fans too. The song is "Swan song with chopin intro" Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
YOB - Marrow or Nothing to win. But you’ll need to shorten the video 😂 And Whitewater is the name of a river crossing Palm desert there hometown Edit : Josh Homme used to play on bass amp, that change the tone a lot.
If you want modern Stoner Rock (or Krautrock) you should listen to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. But read about them first, because they change their style with every album. They also have a great Thrash Metal album called "Petrodragonic Apocalypse".
Gardenia!!!!
space cadet.
@@m1k3g3tz spaceship landing
I really hope this leads to some Queens of the Stone Age. They're so damn good!
Patience, my friend

They're no where near level of Sabbath

Can't go wrong with some Kyuss...🤘🤘 don't forget to let Judson listen to Fu Manchu Richard!
Fwark, I love me some Fu Manchu.
Saturn III OR Godzilla (I know it's a cover)
Their guitar and bass tones on Blues For The Red Sun are my favourite of all time.
lol, 'love' you guys...Everybody always talks about Homme but almost no1 talks about Reeder's silky smooth eargasmic bass lines
Or Brant Bjork's liquid drumming.
Fun fact, the name Kyuss was the name of a god in their D&D game. Electric Wizard is quintessential doom, anything off the dopethrone album is some of the most influential stuff of the genre, Funeralopolis is my favorite

Right man, this album was meant for driving through the dessert
Whitewater is the final real song on the album.
Welcome to Sky Valley is such a wonderful album. Every track is a winner.
Damm, last one Morphine, now Kyuss. Some great choices out of the ordinary lately.
I suggest either a Screaming Trees or Mark Lanegan reaction.
Borracho always gets me. One Way Street as well. Jadson seems to know some Mark Lanegan, though.
Man, Kyuss always takes me back to my early 20s. This album was on repeat for so long.
Same here man!
Same!!!
Same here. Their manager handed me this cassette. I could not believe how great it was
*cough* Demon Cleaner *cough* (if you wanna listen to probably the most popular Kyuss song...)
Fucking love Kyuss dude, it's always great to see this kind of stuff on the channel.
Kyuss is awesome! I'm 46 and when I was around 22 I was in a pawn shop buying CDs and I saw Welcome to Sky Valley in there. I had seen the video for Green Machine from the previous record so I bought it. Holy shit. The entire album is awesome.
46 as well. Though my Kyuss story was seeing Green Machine on Headbangers ball.
I saw Kyuss live in April 1993 in Perth Western Australia. They were backing up Metallica and I had no idea who they were. They blew me away! They blew Metallica off the stage IMO.

I saw Monster Magnet play in Glasgow in 2005. Dave Wyndorf wore a Kyuss T-shirt
Kyuss were so good and this is my favourite album of theirs. The best post-Kyuss band is Unida. John Garcia was never not great. So easy to tell that this was a Brant Bjork written track. His style is all over this one
I once visited the US and we drove from Anaheim to Vegas and this album was playing as the sun was setting. It truly was Welcome to Sky Valley!
Now we need more song from kyuss
You guys should do Neurosis next. Any song from Times of Grace, Enemy of the Sun or Through Silver in Blood.
Electric wizard, goatsnake, warhorse, sleep, cathedral, down.
And going off on a tangent neurosis would be an interesting journey. They go from post apocalyptic doom/sludge to ambient acoustic stuff.
Cant believe you did Kyuss!!!!
WTF. How did I miss this? Been listening to Kyuss since Blues was released. Used to fall asleep with it in my discman. Scott Reeder is one of my bass heroes
He has a self release that should be listened to more.
The rare gems of Kyuss

Loved Kyuss. Loved them. Couldn’t stand morphine. No thanks. Interesting how you love both and I’d get rid of morphine. Odd
Never heard of this band before, but this song hella good, I like the bass, guitar and the drums, especially it sounded like a drum solo!!!
The guitarist from this band went on to form Queens of the Stone Age. In case you didn't know.
This is desert rock and a great sub genre to explore

love the Kyuss! Scott Reeder on bass is the glue here ... this album is the one
Saw QOTSA here in Spain on 18/06...what an experience...unforgettable.
This song is so awesome. I see palm springs every time even being thousands of km far from it
that discussion had absolutely no business being that funny I can't stop cackling
Supa Scoopa, Spaceship Landing, Writhe, Size Queen, both Fatso Forgeto versions, the Into the Void cover. The list goes on.
If you like Kyuss, you should really check out Orange Goblin time travelling blues
definitely need to expose him to some ELECTRIC WIZARD, absolutely nothing compares to their sonic extremity, supercoven, chrononaut, and their first 4 full length albums have no equal in how CRUSHING a sound one band can create
Tool did a live cover of a kyuss song called demon cleaner with kyuss bassist scott reeder. Check it out
For this album the guitars are recorded with some bass amps and cabs, which explains a bit of the weird chunkness
Brant Bjork drummer of Kyuss still around and play a great projects.
I’d would have liked to hear you play along with them.
Interesting choice for intro into Kyuss. The whole album is 🔥
Kyuss!!! Great choice Richard! Need to dive into some other songs of theirs for Judson. Another vand that has such a great sound!!
"Crazy is Crazy!" - Judson, 2024.
Totally nailed the Grateful Dead reference
Oh my, 'Hard To Say I'm Sorry', had no idea that tear jerker was by Chicago, for a second there I thought it was 'Stay Another Day' by East 17, Haha!
Judson really rocking the Hannah Gadsby look today 😄
Thats funny
This may have been one of those songs where Homme would actually plug his guitar into a bass cabinet. It's kind of a Kyuss thing.
Great reaction as usual. Please try to get in on some High on Fire.. song called “ Snakes for the Divine” Thanks and proceed!
🤘😎🤘
Great choice.
Love me some Kyuss! And Chicago as well. And I was thinking that Kyuss sounds like a lovechild of Tool and Smashing Pumpkins. And both bands came up in conversation as well. Weird that I have never though that before. And you should definitely do Kingston Wall at some point.
Oh fuck yea!
for metalhead those type
of tones are hard… took me awhile too
Glad I’m not alone in that
Wow.. Dude on the left needs to do some Kyuss Album Entirety...
i like the fuzz as well.
Judson would definitely like Fu Manchu.
You could try I appear missing by the Queens
Judson would like it I think
Very strange song !
1 of my favorite bands ever. Check out there track Green Machine next.
Double head bobbing for the win
Nice T-shirt! I lost all my Sodom T-shirts I had in the 80s and 90s over the decades
Skyvalley is a masterpiece. There is some really good live footage of Kyuss playing a lot of this album. I recommend 👌. Josh plays through a bass amp and why it's so muddy in tone. It will grow on you. I had the same issue out the gate with Kyuss.
what about sonic youth?

I thought it was about jim and susan macdougal. 🤡
@@that44rdv4rk Who the...
@@Nebuloid1a whitewater joke, but I may have misspelled the last name.
@@that44rdv4rk Google it is... Aha !
Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop
I agree ..check out Gardenia next....Whitewater is cool, but it's an atmospheric instrumental deal really. You need that John Garcia vocal and heavy riff to really get Kyuss
Electric wizard, FU Manchu and Om, please!!
Could you imagine Flight of the Eagle on here, woah.
@@Nebuloid1 absolutely! “Rays of the sun/To the shrine builder” is my suggestion for OM. Fu Manchu I’d suggest “the falcon has landed”. Electric wizard Id suggest “return trip”. Stoner doom/rock is my forte, I’ve got so many suggestions lol.
try some QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE. lots to choose from. Try SOMEONE IS IN THE WOLF.
What did the Deadhead say when the drugs wore off? “What’s that awful noise?”
Check out the Fu Manchu cover of B.O.C's Godzilla
You gotta do Queens of the Stone Age, Richard.
Song For The Dead.
Hum is another band if you love that thick heavy crunch
Homme uses a bass amp. That’s where the tone comes from
Plus he down tuned to C and played thick strings. Not sure if he actually played through a bass amp the whole time in Kyuss.
😈🔱..DAEVAR..CROOKED WHISPERS... CLOCKWORK GOD 🤘
I agree that The Other One ( TGD ) and this song have similarities, but this sounds like it was intentional, whilst the former sounds like a bunch a trippers playing what came to them at that precise instance.
You guys should do Emperor! Elegy of Icurus
KYUSS! Demon Cleaner or Molten Universe would be my picks but Whitewater is good too.
Please, if you can, make a reaction on Dimmu Borgir (Progenies of the great apocalipse) and Age of Silence (Acceleration).
I bet the pianist will find it interesting!
High on Fire would be a good one
Great song, i love the fuzzyness! if you want another sugestion, listen to a french band called Slift. They are simply amazing! I recommend to watch the video: LIONS, TIGERS & BEARS (Live)
Fuzz Theres a lot going on there
Phototropic
They did great stuff like Green Machine and One Inch Man
I LOVE that guitar tone!!! IIRC they played the guitar thru a bass amp...
Plus he down tuned to C and played thick strings. Not sure if he actually played through a bass amp the whole time in Kyuss.
glorious 90s stoner rock makes me want to go buy a cheap fuzz pedal and a new bong.
Great reaction. Anyway, can i request your reaction to superb band from japan?
The band is call "Lovebites"
They all The Beautiful Queens Metal band right now in the earth.
They are really really World class musicians. Phenomenal.
And they have a lot die hard fans too.
The song is "Swan song with chopin intro"
Hope you check out, and can enjoy it too. Big thanks🙏
How about some 'Dead , I feel like listening to Shakedown Street 😂
Judson, deadhead 👍👍
Agent Orange!!!
🤘
M16
Homme rhymes with Mommy. Most people pronounce it incorrectly😊
Whitemeasures!
I think you would like Eyes of the South by Down. Phil and Rex from Pantera are in this band.
YOB - Marrow or Nothing to win.
But you’ll need to shorten the video 😂
And Whitewater is the name of a river crossing Palm desert there hometown
Edit : Josh Homme used to play on bass amp, that change the tone a lot.
Do some Goatsnake! ^^
Hello, Hello, Please react to the new Ren's music "Mackay."
It's a piano piece.
If you want modern Stoner Rock (or Krautrock) you should listen to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. But read about them first, because they change their style with every album. They also have a great Thrash Metal album called "Petrodragonic Apocalypse".
Demoncleaner =D
The guitar is played through bass amps. Might be why you struggle with the tone
Corrosion of comformity c.o.c with peppers keanan
Good song probably not the best for A intro to the band.
