These guys f**kin rock! I got 'Songs for the Deaf' from a friend and I was skeptical at first, but when the opening fuzz guitar came in I was instantly hooked. It's great to know that mainstream music this good is being made! There's even a little bit of prog in the mix, but overall it's just great rock'n'roll music. Plus, with David Grohl playing drums and Dean Ween playing guitar (best drummer and guitarist of the 90's respectively IMO), it can't be beat. -------------

You have to get "Rated R" if you like "Songs for the Deaf", Also I highly recommend this one.  Their first album should definitely appeal to a prog fan.  ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

Just curious, have you ever heard Kyuss before?

I have heard of them but I have never listened to them. I know that they are related to QOTSA somehow though. -------------

Thats how I got into QOTSA by being a Kyuss fan, when I heard that Kyuss broke up and a few members formed Queens, I was all over it. If you decide to delve into the Kyuss catalog, I only recommend "Blues For A Red Sun", "Welcome To Sky Valley" and "And The Circus Leaves Town". Lots of stoney-rock, fuzzed out guitar much like QOTSA, But Josh Homme is a better singer IMO than the singer of Kyuss. Still a very influential and great band though. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

Hmmm......sounds cool. Stoner rock seems like a cool genre.
I love this band though, they have such cool riffs and guitar parts. -------------

i saw a video of theirs, that one with the "deer hunt" story. i can't remember the name. the piece was excellent and i enjoyed the bass part a lot, but grohl's drumming was just so devastating! ------------- "PA's own GI Joe!"

I know how much Nirvana is disliked here at PA, but you got to admit that Dave Grohl is a pretty mean drummer. I wished he would continue working with QOTSA.

Oh yeah. He's definetely one of the greatest. He has so much power! I have no problem with Nirvana, I just think there are better bands out there. They were a vast improvement over the whole hair metal thing, and some of their lesser known songs are really cool. -------------

| I have Rater R and Songs for the Deaf. Both are brilliant! I had their debut and Lullabies to Paralyze on my computer, but I didn't listen to those as often, so I got rid of them to free some disk space. Great band anyway! |

After all this talk of QOTSA, I feel like listening to the debut today. I haven't listened to it in about 2 years.

Hey guys...great!!! i'm not a fan of QOSA and Kyuss but when I listen to them several years before I Liked them, I'm gonna search some albums right now. I have a Question about QOSA... what is the name of that "chilean" guy who lives in the states and has a Record Studio (I'm not sure) that even Chris Cornell recorded in that one, and who also played in QOSA (the bassist may be, I'm not sure again)..do you know? he had a band called "Eleven", but I think you don't know it  -------------  ¡¡El Rocanrol no morirá jamás!!

I'm not sure, You may be thinking of QOTSA's first drummer Alfredo Hernandez , he also played on Kyuss's last record. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

'Songs for the Deaf' was my favorite album when i was a senior in high school. I still love it, as well as Rated R, but I thought their last one was a disappointment with the exception of a few songs. I like some Kyuss, but not all of it. I have yet to check out Eagles of Death Metal (another Josh Homme project). ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

I bought The Eagles Of Death Metal's first Cd when it came out just because of Homme. Not only was it not death metal, but it sounded nothing like QOTSA.  I was very disappointed with it, Then I saw them recently on Conan or Kimmel, I can't remember which, And I liked the song they played, Go Figure. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

Kyuss are great. I have everything they've done but I wouldn't really comparable them to QOTSA who I enjoy as well. Definately different sounding bands.
When I listen to Kyuss, I'm always reminded of Black Sabbath. Probably due to the tuned down guitars. ------------- The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.

A great band, much better rock'n'roll than the overrated Audioslave and Velvet Revolver. And no, i don't hate Nirvana, actually I love them, simple music does NOT always mean bad music. |

From their latest album. One of my favorite tracks by them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1mxEdlNeFs - Queens of the Stoneage: Someone's in the Wolf I miss Mark Lanegan's vocals more than Grohl's drumming on that album. ------------- Over land and under ashes In the sunlight, see - it flashes Find a fly and eat his eye But don't believe in me Don't believe in me Don't believe in me |

I'm a pretty big Kyuss fan, and I like Queens of the Stone Age too. I wonder if there are any bands like them (especially Kyuss) because I can't seem to find any. -------------

Have you tried Monster Magnet Or Fu Manchu floydisgod? Or John Garcia's post Kyuss band Unida? If you haven't I highly recommend all three. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |

My friend likes Kyuss but he says their singer sucks. Is this true? -------------

Within the context of Kyuss, John Garcia is a great singer, Different style than Homme. Garcia is more of a screamer in the style of oh, I don't know, Gillian maybe? I'm not saying he "sounds like" Gillian though. I realise I'm probably not making sense. ------------- DEATH TO FALSE PROG! |
