Kyuss Green Machine Reaction and Dissection STONER ROCK WEEK The Decomposer Lounge
Kyuss - 50 Million Year Trip. To me that is the quintessential Kyuss song. Big Warm muddy Tones, Big Cymbals, timing change hooks, psychedelic breakdown that finishes the recording. Great tune!
yeah..
My second fave after whitewater. 🤘🤘🤘
honestly he could do a whole album review of "Blues for the red sun" and i would watch it lol.
Dude Blues for the Red Sun is my favourite Kyuss record but they have so many great songs it's impossible to pick and choose.... Freedom Run, El Rodeo, Mighty Scoop, Big Bikes, Thong Song, Spaceship Landing, goddamn,
@@BobsYerUncle_GT the three albums Blues for the red sun, Welcome to sky valley and, and the circus left town is a magical back to back listen
Kyuss, no matter in with phase, always sounded like they are just jamming. Four guys just having fun and creating magic by chance.
when they started they were just playin small parties out in the middle of the desert, using gas generators to power the instruments
There is a great documentary about it with Dave Grohl in it. I can't remember the title but I highly recommend it. It was about that whole desert party scene.
THIS^^^
sonic highways?
Kyuss is so so good. Definitely need to check out Demon Cleaner and Space Cadet. Probably all of the album Welcome to Sky Valley actually. A must have for the stoner rock collection.
Yeah, good choices dude!
Absolutely!!!🤘
They are much better choices and much more "stoner" than this imho, but hey generally I try not to get too wrapped up in labels
.... And Supa scoop and mighty scoop!!!
@@TheFryBr Fuck yes! Forgot about that and its one of my favourites
Kyuss! The band that spawned Queens of the Stone Age. Both excellent choices to start the week
Kyuss was years before nu-metal. They started late 80's become significant in the early 90's. To me, their great songs are not the straight forward songs like Green Machine but the more spaced out stuff with trippy riffs.
Space Cadet 😍
Lick Doo :D
@@studiggity7742 (chomp chomp chomp) Yeah.
Yeah. Stoner rock was sort of the third big rock movement in the early mid 90s. The others being grunge and later in the 90s alternative rock.
Sadly no on really talks about stoner rock the same way they do with the other genres.
Sleep is a stoner metal essential. I'd say Dragonaut is the best entry point for the band.
Holy Mountain I would say. I think Dragonaut is their catchiest song, but it doesn't encapsulate them the way Holy Mountain does. Just my two cents
@@Slaughterhauzen I 100% agree.
Imagine a Jerusalem reaction 😂🧨🧨
Marijuanaut’s Theme
electric wizard - funeralopolis
Please do white water. I'm sure you'll love it. It has a really distinct psychedelic sound. Kinda riders in the storm ish and it's way more colorful I should say. Thanks and love the stoner rock week thing.
yep whitewater and spacewship landing are peak kyuss tracks
Whitewater yessssss
Kyuss started circa mid-80s, way before Nu Metal or even Rage Against The Machine came around. You could say they were birthed around the same time the Seattle scene starting growing (in terms of timeline, not geographical, although they have met members of Nirvana and Soundgarden at some point). From what they've told in their stories, the sound and scene of Stoner Rock was incubated in the desert before it started getting traction across the country, nurtured by punk ethos (and guilt) of never wanting to sell out.
I strongly recommend to check out "Colour Haze", a very underrated but awesome German trio. They are a hidden Stoner Rock gem, even though they produced already 13 LPs. They usually have complex song structures, very nice Guitar and Bass melodies with Blues and some Jazz influences. The older stuff from them sounds a little bit like Kyuss but way more relaxed. A classic to listen to is "Mountain" from their self-titled album "Colour Haze" or if you want to go on a longer but awesome journey check out "Temple" or " "Love" (9 minutes).
This and Kyuss - Hurricane are epic tracks.
Kyuss was active from 1987 - 1995 when they disbanded. Stoner Rock was pre-NuMetal.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyuss
Would also like to see you do Stars by Hum, a lost classic
i would rather he do The Pod ... but Stars and Why i like the Robins are close behind
I believe Josh runs his C standard guitar through a bass amp, which makes for a crazy cool, meaty tone
Um I believe it’s just a fuzzz pedal he uses to get that heavy muddy tone and the c standard makes it sound even more heavy
@@seth9485 I always heard it was played through an Ampeg bass amp
Yep, run through a bass amp. Homme confirmed it in interviews for various desert/stoner rock documentaries \m/@@\m/
Was a bass amp
@@ProriffsorMetalben Not until QOTSA's Rated R album, used a Ampeg V4B. He recorded with Ampeg 4x12s in the studio, and Blues (this album) was a Marshall JCM900, you can see both of them in the music video. You would never record a guitar through a bass cabinet, it's a completely unusable sound - no high end and the bass response would overlap with your bass guitar and drums. No fuzz pedals either - not until the last few Queens albums.
Worth noting they were like 18-20 years old when they made this album. Insane
And throwing "generator parties" in the desert, because they couldn't play in any of the venues
I get chills every time I hear this song. Anyone who can sit still and not headbang during this is obviously cold and dead inside 🤣 🤘🎸🔥🤘🎸🔥🤘🎸🔥
you seem cool.
@@williamcozart8158 thanks I try 😜
There's a great interview out their with the Kyuss drummer Brant Bjork about the start of that scene. Long story short, the metal and punk scene got the boot from all the local venues so they started hauling generators out to the desert for parties/concerts of their own.
One of the big influences for the band (and their drummer later filled in for Bjork when he quit the band) is Yawning Man. They were a predecessor to Kyuss, and a big influence, that was a bit more jammy and spacey but fed the sound of the early generator show scene.
Yawning Man is great. Brant Bjork has some awesome solo releases as well \m/@@\m/
What I love so much about Kyuss is the big tone, packed full of rolling lows and buzzing highs and forget the mid-range.
Do the last baron by mastodon :-) Or also the Czar. Both are great pieces of art! I requested these like 20x a few months ago but I guess I'm back at it :D
Agreed. Do The Last Baron!
Don't stop! 😂 The Czar over The Last Baron IMO.
The Czar is my favorite Mastodon song!!
Please Geebz!!!
I've been hounding about Mastodon too. You are not alone
Yes - Last Baron!!!
Corrosion of Conformity- Albatross
This song is a banger, but i would have prefer that you tried White Water which would have smoke your brain out
I'm so glad your doing this stoner week, this is probably my favorite kind of rock/metal and there is so much to explore.
Living in the hope that you'll try some Yob stuff (Ablaze and Marrow especially)
Keep it up with that energy and that smile, you're amazing man !!
Greetings from France
My bf when this album was released, was a bass player, so this song with that bass solo, was the shizzle. I've always known Kyuss as desert metal. This album, just doesn't age. It still rocks hard, and of course it launched Josh Homme's career. I have most likely missed out on suggesting songs, but others that fit the genre is the Australian band, Tumbleweed. So many suggestions, but Mary Jane is a good start there. Modern stuff I'd lean towards either King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, or the band with the best band name, EVER, is Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.
Yeah, you can definitely tell I am Australian and my teenage years were in the 90's...
Haha I forgot Tumbleweed. I recommended Rollerball and Forte, who Kyuss used to get to open for them. Constantly recommending Aussie bands like Cog, but I guess not many have heard of em, so my comment barely gets liked and thus ignored.
"high desert" metal haha (I think it still qualifies as Stoner Rock along with Desert Metal)
I feel like you know Dog Fashion Disco also...if not, you should 🤘
The guitar player from Kyuss is Josh Homme who is now the guitar/vocalist for Queens of the Stone Age.
Josh Homme is a genius. He started Kyuss in the Palm Desert when he was still in high school, and by the time he graduated, they were getting ready to tour. I'd highly recommend Lo-Fi Desert Sound, a documentary about the Stoner Rock scene in Joshua Tree in the early 90s. Homme was basically responsible for the scene's explosion into the mainstream. When Kyuss ended, he started Queens of the Stone Age, and he's still making great music today.
When he was 19 Metallica asked Kyuss to tour Australia with them
I'm gonna watch that doc now, thanks dude.
I haven't been into the bands very long or gotten too deep into the genre, really I have just started liking QOTSA and Kyuss.
I heard No One Knows(qotsa) back when the music video came out and sorta liked it, but when someone told me to check out Kyuss and I did I was very impressed.
Now I am excited to watch this documentary.
@@williamcozart8158 here...th-cam.com/play/PLvW9Mh8xihPtfxnkJxJfGV75HTULBA5lU.html I hope this helps
he didnt start kyuss. he was asked to join
@@chito2294 right...well...Katzenjammer was Brant and Chris...when Josh joined the name was changed to Sons Of Kyuss...Nick was brought along for the beginning of Blues For The Red Sun...and by that point Bjork and Homme were the main songwriters and creative visions for the group. Scott joined, Brant left, Fredo joined...and by then Garcia and Homme were the only oringal members.
Josh homme - guitar (qotsa front man)
Brant Bjork - drums (fu Manchu drummer)
- kyuss came about at a parallel time to grunge really. Was born out of hair metal -> thrash metal.
Homme wanted to play heavy music but wanted girls to dance at their gigs too.
Kyuss top 5 for me since Blues came out. You nailed it down with queens, fu manchu, the sword, but this is where it started for me in high school. I would recommend Russian Circles, Yawning Man, Casa Sui, OM, Orange Goblin and Vista Chino.
6:05 paused just before "The Cough". Anybody else listen to this song just for that cough? Why do I love that so much? Geebz missed it when he came back in at 6:37!
Fatso Forgotso and The Law are two kickass songs by this band. It’s crazy that they never get mentioned or reacted to.
Kyuss is one of my all time favorites - been listening since 92. For me, when I first heard them, I took an absolute left turn musically, opening a door that I'd never even known was there. As a kid, there were quite a few bands to affect (more properly, afflict) me in such a way. Fuckin epiphany. Kyuss are so good. Thanks Geebz for keeping all of us young brother! AL-RIGHT!!
Same. I had gone up the metal tree from Motly Crue to Decide and Kyuss took me on a whole 'nother level.
I love anything Josh Homme is apart of. Desert Sessions is another great colab-band that he put together
Does Geebz realize this is Josh?
Seemed like he didn't this time, even tho when he reacted a few months ago to No one Knows(by queens) and then Gardenia(kyuss) he mentioned Josh Homme was in both bands.
I think Geebz been eatin' too many of them good gummy bears for stoner rock week.
I'm hitting some garlic cookies strain bud in a pipe with lemon headz terp sugar crumbled and melted on top... omg this shit is juicy..
@@williamcozart8158 happy smoking brotha! Fire in the fuckin hole! lol
KYUSS! The original desert rock band. So many great bands spawned from these guys.
You should definitely listen to Spaceship Landing by Kyuss, a true masterpiece of stoner
And let him know it's actually only 13 minutes, not 30+ lol
Electric Wizard - Barbarian -> stoner metal / doom metal, crowd favorite from across the pond, band decided to make a 30 year career out of turning sabbath's sweet leaf into its own genre.
For more stoner rock, I strongly reccommend MOTORPSYCHO from Norway (though they also do psychedelic neo-prog). Best examples being songs like "Supertzar" or "The United Debased"!!
High on Fire - Snakes for the Divine.
Orange Goblin - Red Tide Rising.
Orange Goblin - Excellent call out!
Most youtube music reaction videos are trash. I totally appreciate hearing your point of view, as a composer. I walk away from your vids with a deeper appreciation for some of my most beloved songs and having learned something.
Thanks for being unique in that
wow instant like, kyuss is such a unique band
Brant pounding the shit out of them drums 🤘
When that drum and bass hits you and you know it!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Hi there, Geebz!... I'm loving the Stoner Rock week...Kyuss rules! The Godfathers of Stoner Rock! Two more bands also considered to be pioneers in this genre... Sleep , Monstermagnet ... Enjoy ! 🤘😜😎
When you say Power Metal people will think of something completely different.
good example of power metal being: unleash the archers ( which you already reacted to once geebz )
I appreciate that you get the atmosphere even though its not your cup of tea
Kyuss guitar sound back in the '90s, revival of the rock guitar tube amp, that was an important part of why we liked their sound so much, walls of tube amps set up in the desert, using power generators to play as loud as they could.
Yeah man, great band. Love John Garcia's vocals on Hermano, also another great band
For a different flavor of Stoner, try Colour Haze a German band. their song She Said is epic
Tempel also kicks ass
Tempel would also be my recommendation.
Colour Haze for me are the definite kings of the heavy psychedelic side of stoner rock. They've been in the business for over 20 years
And another German stoner rock staple: RotoR!
@@danielrobinson8042 Oh yes! Absolute riff monsters, for example "Druckverband", "Volllast", "Gnade dir Gott" or "Die weisse Angst"
My favorite Kyuss songs are Asteroid and Demon Cleaner.
I remembered I discovered Helmet and Kyuss around the same time and I loved it.
You rock geebz!! Never heard kyuss before but had a friend suggest them to me not long ago. What a fun ride always to check out a band with ya. 🤘🏼
FREEDOM RUN !!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Stoner Rock took over where Grunge left off. I am not sure if Kyuss was first. Monster Magnet did some great stuff early, too, and lasted longer.
For the last 25 years when not doing Kyuss or other projects John Garcia is a Vet Tech in Palm Springs. 🐾🐾🐾
Kyuss - Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop!!! WOOHOO
This is pretty much the start of this genre, it’s from 1992. I’m like you, love the 70’s psychedelic stuff that has bluesy heavy riffs. This is an extension on that with a different feel and heavier but not like traditional metal, they have more slower funkier jams like gardenia and freedom run that seem right up your alley....quintessential stoner rock songs to react to. Love the channel dude
Kyuss was a game changer when they came out. It was a great time for music. You had Kyuss and the other desert bands in the west and Monster Magnet and others rocking it from the East coast. And as others have stated, you must do some Color Haze.
You can't have a Stoner week without revisiting Clutch! Profits Of Doom!
My favorite KYUSS tune 4 sure.
Simple & Powerful
According to Josh Homme (Guitar/Vox of Queens of the Stone Age) who's guitarist of Kyuss he used a bass amp during recording even in their live gigs.
loving stoner rock week/month. Excited to hear you're about to jump down the Ween rabbit hole. Been a fan of them since 1990. They cross just about every genre. Can't wait to hear which song will be the first. Such a crucial selection. Can totally lead you down many different paths.
For more Kyuss you should check out Demon Cleaner or Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop. Sick songs.
Different to new metal a whole new genre that came to kick ass!!
Stage III is absolutely NUTS by Kyuss. The flanger is nuts
John Garcia - vocals
Josh Homme - guitar
Nick Oliveri - bass
Brant Bjork - drums
Chris Goss - producer
Came out the same time as "Sunrise on the Sufferbus" by Masters of Reality (the one featuring Ginger Baker on drums.)
Were Masters of Reality part of the desert rock scene back then, cos they almost sound like qotsa before qotsa!
Speaking of the drums - this song and yesterday with Eatin' Dust you have the same drummer on both tracks - Brant Bjork.
this was like an under current happening almost at the same time as nu-metal, maybe just a few years earlier. it was a generation of rockers directly influenced by 70s rock and blues. Stoner rock has been like a laid back alternative to grunge and nu-metal through out the 90s and 00s, a deliberate throw back to 70s and analog recording. now its kind of its own thing.
I saw Kyuss in early '93 in Davis, CA opening for Faith No More. At that time, there were a lot of established and emerging "scenes": alternative, Nu Metal was around the corner, Grunge was in ascendance, Industrial was becoming a "thing" and hair-bands were dying. Kyuss was just THERE, a wall of sound all their own. I can't describe the utter bombast of their live show back then. I never got that sound out of my head, it haunts me to this day. Kyuss was not a scene, not a part of one. But they did become a way of life. 30 years later, we have record labels like Ripple Music, DHU and hundreds of bands that can trace their origin to one band: Kyuss. Oh, and you really have to do Whitewater. Seriously. Whitewater!
Kyuss released Wretch in 1991; Korn's first album came out in 1993. I found out about QOTSA after Songs for the Deaf came out, then worked my way back to Kyuss. "[M]embers of Kyuss have gone on to form or play in several notable bands including Queens of the Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Dwarves, Eagles of Death Metal, Mondo Generator, Hermano, Unida, Slo Burn and Them Crooked Vultures." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyuss#Discography
Evil Joe Baressi is the mix engineer on this and soooooo many other artists (Tool, QOTSA, Melvins etc). Check him out.
Kyuss and QOTSA used to go out into the desert with their gear, generators, and drugs.
Indeed, I was going to comment this very thing. When it comes to the recording and mixing, you just gotta have a bit of dirt in your Kyuss... I love 'em.
This is gonna be a good week. Clutch (Big News I&II) for a revisit, High on Fire (Fertile Green), Sleep (Holy Mountain), The Sword (Apocryphon) and Red Fang (Hank is Dead) for some good examples of more central stoner rock/metal. Then I highly recommend Harvey Milk. That band is so underrated and heavy, while still being extremely artistic in writing and intention of each of their songs. "Death Goes to the Winner" is a perfect starting point, then I recommend getting into their heavier stuff like "I've Got a Love," or "The End" from the album "Special Wishes." They can get dark and introspective, as well as getting super pared down with some songs being bass rumbling and drums, along with Creston's distant wails. "All the Live Long Day" is song I recommend listening to on your own time at some point, since it has some lyrics that wouldn't fly on TH-cam. The guitarist plays a sledge hammer in that song...
I forgot about green day. Their name is from a song they made when they were called sweet children which is about smoking weed all day. So green day by green day.
I remember the first time I listened to Kyuss way back when, blew my mind the sound that they got by low tuning the guitar, makes them sound so heavy.
Kyuss Space Cadet is worth checking out for sure!
"N.O." is my favourite Kyuss track, and it has some history as it was originally by Across the River, a band fronted by Mario Lalli and featuring Kyuss bassist Scott Reeder.
Dont forget Fredo was also the drummer of Across the River
We demand more kyusssss haha!! For real if you want to see how the perform live check Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop live from bizarre festival
Cool, this idea of dedicated week... I really hope you have something from "Master of Reality" in your program. Have a nice day !
Yeah, still one of my alltime favolite bands, that kinda defined a whole genre. Love them an so nice to see that they're not forgotten. Timeless music.
Love the Kal-El cover of this song
Sup sup Geebz! Keep killing it brother
There's this interview with nirvana in the early 90s where Dave Grohl turns to the camera and to paraphrase, goes: "listen to kyuss, best band out there right now"
This is a banger!! Do "Strong Reflection" by Mars Red Sky. Bet you will love it.
Whitewater is superb. One inch man as well loads of them to enjoy.🤘🤘
FUCK YEAH!! KYUSS RULES!!
This one is for sure a rocker. No doubt about it. But I think what sets Kyuss apart from everyone else (at the time) was that every single thing they did conveyed a certain rumbling heaviness. They tuned the guitars down and played them though bass amps. The drummer used HUGE toms to add to the heaviness, and the cymbals (especially the ride) were actually IRL physically extra-large pieces of equipment. It all combines to create a super-heavy but not-necessarily-metal vibe, and they sometimes get a little psychedelic, which is fun. . They also influenced/spawned like like 30 years of really, really good music.
Yaaaassss I love some Kyuss in my ears.
Well done...
You should check out Freedom Run or 50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up), both are riff bombs and 50 Million Year Trip is widely regarded as one of their best. Would love to see these guys in the 30 day countdown!
Kyuss were right in the middle of the grunge explosion and with the rest of the desert scene kinda created an equal but different counter weight to the grunge bands, showing all the unique mixes that happen to various scenes at the time cuz all these bands were basically taking Sabbath/Zeppelin 60’s/70’s stuff and Mixed with 80’s Punk and Thrash energy
Great song
Egypt - Queen of All Time (Red Giant)
Mars Red Sky - Strong Reflection or Reacts
Love what you’re doing with the channel and that you’re digging into the stoner/doom/desert/psych territory!
Great video! I didn't listen to any other band than Kyuss for a year for some reason a while back. 50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up) is my favourite track from this album, Blues for the Red Sun. Hopefully we get to see your reaction to that at some point. Thank you for your content!
Great choices for your first three days.
Here's some heavier stoner doom picks if you feel like going there.
*Royal Thunder- Sleeping Witch (Great female vocalist and a Black Sabbath vibe on this one)
*High on Fire- King of Days (kind of a slowed down stoner version of Motor Head. Really groovy guitar)
*Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats- Ritual Knife (If you think an even darker Blue Oyster Cult mixed with A touch of Beach Boys and heavy psychedelic churning guitar sounds interesting)
Excellent choices
That was great! Only place I've ever seen a Thai stick is on Cheech and Chong movies... wasn't sure they were actually a thing. I love this garage sound. Very raw.
One of my favorite tracks of all time. So killer
Great track and great album, but Welcome to Sky Valley was my choice for their best. Scott Reeder was amazing.
This is way before nu metal. This is late late 80s early 90s. Josh Homme's first band. Nu metal happened a decade later :)
You should check out Tool's cover of a Kyuss song 'Demon Cleaner.' big fans :)
Numetal started in the mid 90s so not too far off but yeah stoner rock was definitely a distinct sound from numetal.
@@CraigKeidel stoner rock and Kyuss started in 1987 and nu metal started around 97 so a decade is accurate enough.
@@MostlyCloudy Stoner rock the sound really started in the 70s with psychedelic blues based bands like Grand Funk Railroad, The Stooges, Deep Purple(ish), some Jethro Tull, and Black Sabbath. But yeah, the modern Genre Stoner Rock was a late 80s machination that grew out of the Misfits sound and the desert scene.
But numetal was a thing long before 97. RATM and Urban Dance Squad were doing funkified rap-metal by 1991, Korn and Deftones debuted in '94, Slipknot and Limp Bizkit were forming by '95. Sepultura released the seminal Roots in '96. Hell, by the time Slayer debuted Diabolus In Musica in '98, the scene was already starting to turn in underground perception. I think they're much closer timewise in popular perception than you'd like to believe.
@@CraigKeidel wow i do not consider RATM to be nu metal at all. rap metal and numetal aren't one in the same.
@@MostlyCloudy that's fine, but you should accept the influence RATM and UDS had on numetal
I hope you do SLEEP this week. It ain't Stoner Rock Week without Sleep.
More Kyuss would be great. I'll suggest "Demon Cleaner" and "Odyssey".
This is a great track! Kyuss are awesome. I think you should check out Truckfighters at some point, probably either 'Atomic' or 'Desert Cruiser'
Yes pleassssse!
Everytime Kyuss toured Australia they would get Forte to support them, even getting them to reunite for the last tour so they could support. A criminally underrated Australian band, with heavy AC/DC and Hendrix influences and a healthy dose of stoner/surf rock.
Not much of them on TH-cam but try White Sands of Brays, Rising Sun of Venus or Ghost Train.
Another great, and probably the best to me, Aussie stoner rock band was Rollerball. Try Lifetime, Highly Likely or We Always Slide.
The Australian band Tumbleweed was “stoner rock” too. I’m not sure if your heard to them.
@@Prognosis__ yeah just completely forgot about em lol
Great band
Early to mid 90s to answer your question. You can really see how rock branched out during that era, more than the 70s in my opinion. So many artists experimenting with their sound and inspiring each other. Wish you could see more of that today. Tool even covered Kyuss and you can even hear a little bit of inspiration Josh Homme had on Adam Jones.
