Any Kyuss fans?

[AquaXed]

Kyuss is the precursor to Queens of the Stone Age. They are probably one of the most underrated bands of all time. The only way I can really describe their sound is Black Sabbath + Tool... in a way.

[Al Paccioli]

I like Asteroid.

[Rambler]

Demon Cleaner + Hurricane are some of my favorite songs from them.


They make great music, but their name is terrible.

[666metalhead666]

Kyuss is fucking awesome. I listen to them often.

[Sezril]

They completely destroy QotSA. Welcome to Sky Valley is an undisputed classic

Their name is a bit nerdy, coming from a Greyhawk D&D setting... it could be worse, though, they could have named themselves after something out of the Tolkien universe like roughly half of metaldom

[Solaris]

*puts hand up* Yeep.

I love Kyuss. Definitely one of my favourite bands ever and superior to QOTSA IMO.

They're basically the embodiment of stoner rock. Groovy thumping basslines which really drive the music, deliciously crunch guitar riffs, nice bluesy leads, bombastic drumming and badass vocals.

[wrathchild]

One of the ands that got me into much heavier music and I still love them.
My favourite songs are:
50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)
Phototropic
Gardenia
Welcome to Sky Valley has to be one of my favourite albums ever, but all of their albums (yes, that does include the first one!) are awesome.

fuck yeah

blues for the red sun is one of my favorite albums of all time

[mutmoo]

Kyuss is awesome. I own Blues For The Red Sun and Welcome To Sky Valley. I can't wait to get Wretch and ...And The Circus Leaves Town.

[burningcow422]

i really need to work on a discog of theirs

so underrated. i've yet to meet someone in person who's heard of them.

[brodicus]

i've recently been getting into a lot of kyuss, primus, and tool.

i like it heavy, but not so heavy i can't figure out what the hell is going on, like with some metal bands.

Queens of the Stone Age isn't bad, but they're on a whole different wave of the musical spectrum from Kyuss. I was into QOTSA before Kyuss, but I've been coming to find Kyuss more towards my style.

[O'Bannion]

Kyuss was pretty much the greatest stoner rock band of all time. Next to QOTSA of course.

[Fungus Amungus]

I like thier style. I love Demon Cleaner, the other songs/CDs I don't listen to a whole lot though.

[IPWN3DURMOM]

no i dont really like them ive tryed listening to them but just cant get into it i like that slower shit like electric wizard or sleep.

[AquaXed]

This band is so fucking good, it constitutes about 75% of what I listen to at the moment. Nobody really sounds like them and they had a pretty short lifespan, so it's particularly frustrating for me. I've listened to all 4 of their albums until I got sick of em, but there's no more. :wah: I tried getting into other stoner rock like Fu Manchu, but those guys are pretty sub-par.

Kyuss is kind of hard to get into at first, but it grows on you. Here are some recommendations:

I wouldn't call myself a fan because I haven't bought any of there stuff or listened to them enough, but I do like them.
