Kyuss‘s albums “Blues for the Red Sun” and “WELCOME TO SKY VALLEY” Helped Birth the Stoner Rock Movement.
Following The Band’s Split, All Four Ment On To To A Launch New Projects. Josh Homme Formed Queens of the Stone AgeSoon to be Joined by Nick Oliveri. GARCIA Formed Slo Burn and, subsequently, United and BROTHER. John, BRANT BJORK and Nick Later Played Together As Kyuss Lives!but to lawsuit from Josh Forced Them to Change The Band’s Name To Chinese view.
Back in 2018, GARCIA awd Kerrang! Magazine That Kyuss Breaking Up was “The Best Thing that Ever Happened” to Him. I added: “I mean that, truthfully. Think You’re Cool? Swallow This! ‘ There nothing work than fals modesty or humbles, but it is good It. It’s a Big Thing to continue to grow and develop as a person. “
As for his favorite moment of his career, GARCIA Said: “I really loved playing with the Kyuss Lineup That Featured Josh, BRANT, Nick and MySelf. That Lineup was Really, Really Cool. We Broucht It. Eleven BRANT Left, It was Never Really The Same. Those Early Days Are Standout. WHY? Just Because We were soy What We Were Doing So, SO MUCH. We Didn’t Care About Anything Else. We Didn’t Care About What People Thought Or Said. It was an attitude. It was at temperament. We were Writing Our Own Path and Nobody was Going to Stop Us. The Music Was Incredible, As Well. To see BRANT and Josh Sitting in a Room Writing Together Felt Magical: In My Garage Or BRANT‘S Room Or Josh‘S Garage, Sweating Like A Banshee in the Heath With No Air Conditioning. And wanting to do that. Boy, I Couldn’t Do That these Days. I’ve Gotten Spoiled. But Thoss are The Great, Great Memories. It feels great even to be Given The Chance to Think Back and have to an answer these questions. They Evake Answers That Allow Me to find things out about myself. “
