      I can confirm. I saw QOTSA with NIN in Wellington New Zealand and he left his guitar hanging off the mic stand howling feedback until the crowd went nuts for the encore, and after the encore he hurled the guitar right over the top of the drum kit and it landed at the back of the stage. It was a great show. These guys are the real deal, I don't think they make musicians like him anymore.

      @LAZERBEAM Sleep Token is doing something a bit different though. I know they blew up, so not underground, but it's certainly an unexpected sound, that I kind of enjoyed. It's like all the pop rock bands of the last few years, if they actually were good, and wrote creative songs, took risks and added a few flashes of prog metal to spice it up. It's like they took the bland formulaic pop rock and subverted it, kind of the reverse if what the industry does.

I listen to a lot of Sabbath, Zeppelin, the groundhogs, later on I got into maiden and priest and stuff like that.but the one thing I can say is that Scott Reeder is the Geezer Butler of my generation. Is playing is very much like Geezer's.and when the albums were mixed his face playing was thrown right up front with a loud volume in the mix which was unconventional at the time but really Nate everybody aware it was listening to those guys of what a talent Scott was (still is for that matter).the man takes a right-handed base and flipped it around without even fixing the strings. He's got to think in reverse when he plays. Sometimes I watch him play live in old clips and I'm just gobsmacked. I consider myself very lucky to have seen them play before Kyuss broke up.

      I believe josh when he says that he never listened to Black Sabbath when growing up. I just think he tuned down and played things slow and heavy and groovy in order to distinguish himself from other punk bands in his scene he came from. Not to mention that Bands like Across the River took influence from them, which in turn influenced Josh Homme. Not to mention Nick Oliveri was into Black Sabbath.

      Not entirely true about Kyuss not getting back together. I read in an interview that Brant reached out to Josh recently about playing together again but Josh never got back to him (probably because of the legal issues involving his family) so us fans will have to wait until then.
