- Kyuss members, Josh Homme, John Garcia, Brant Bjork and Scott Reeder interviewed backstage before their gig at the Rivoli on December 13, 1992 in Toronto, Canada.
I can even smell the weed.
Especially the snorting moove
Funny how Josh is bemoaning the thought of Kyuss being lumped in with bands like Judas Priest and roughly seven years later Rob Halford recorded vocals on Feel Good Hit of the Summer.
Damn I never knew that, that’s tight!
"Young man, someday you will be in a band with a member of Led Zeppelin. No, really, I'm not kidding. Nirvana too."
What in gods name are you talking about...? Who cares? Nirvana were terrible. Kyuss was better than both those bands, duh
@@uncledrosselmeyer6480 we can't compare to Led Zeppelin, different ages, but Nirvana, an insult for me
@@rodrigovega1887 that’s true. And yes, Nirvana were freaking awful
This comment is beyond cringe...
@@theninthheart4736 LMFAOO what a wild opinion
Josh looks a bit like Chucky from Childs Play lol
LOL
Haha, that was my first thought too
We have a school friend that we all call Chucky for the exact same reason. :D
or like a young Trump :D
@@adammacejko1194 eww
We don't condone drug use. We can't confirm or deny... Whew, that's a bright light!
These guys are so humble. They're like the greatest bar band of all time that actually made it !
The BEST band ever that no one has heard of - Kyuss were AMAZING - they flew under the radar big time
i had the luck to discover and understand their music in 1994. i loved them that time goin to school with walkman. i still think they could have done 3-4 more great albums without getting boring at all. i f they did 3-4 more albums and then quit in 2000, everything would be perfect. and i guess the split was only because difficulties between homme + garcia. and i also guess i know why: the last 2 years garcia was damn often drunk or drugged on stage, performing + behaving not really cool. josh was pissed about that, because it was not nice for the audience/fans...
Flipper1974nz There with ya. Kyuss was it. Around that time Blues for the red sun came out(Green Machine) after I saw that on, what was formally Music Television. I became everything Kyuss(& Ministry) the only bands i wouldn't pawn. When Kyuss split up,(I thought that blue cd was another Kyuss release called Queens of the stone age) I thought that's a fucked up name for a record. Then history happened. Whoda thunk it?
Javdoc I was knowned as "the guy that was always trying to push Kyuss onto everyone". They just were too ahead of the public. In a way I'm glad they didn't get big. But history happened.
Who is this chick? Damn it !!! overthink the shit. When it came out All I could say is it's Kyuss, Spark it up & hit play. By the time Green Machine started(anyone who listened to uninterupted Blues for the red sun, knows what i'm saying. Nothing else like it(at the time that reached Rual Missouri) 25yrs later QOTSA are what they are. Homme's a riff god, but there are others that were there with him.
Brilliant band
jesus josh looked like owen wilson and eminems rebellious love child when he was younger , pretty interesting interview
lol
he's rather eminem's younger sibling
Or the guy from Candlebox..kinda
Josh Looks Like A Mix Of Elvis Presley And Eminem
and the banjo kid from deliverance
This is incredible! It used to be rare to find Kyuss live footage, never mind interviews. Great quality too! Josh and Brant sooo do not seem like teenagers here. Josh was just about as articulate then as he is now and his philosophies about music are the same. So much love and respect for this guy.
He was also drugged off his tits!
was john shrooming or what? he doesnt say a word and he's trippin
Prolly
watching this interview i just had a really weird feeling of nostalgia/sadness, thinking of what life must have been like back then, and how different things are now. i feel like i missed out on something
modernadolescent I feel that replying to your 6 year old comment
You did miss out.
It was fkn awesome.
LOOK AT JOSH...HORY SHET JUST LOOK AT HIM
Teenage Josh, man.
"We're not good enough at our instruments to play metal."
That statement almost put me on my ass laughing!
Brant seems like a really good guy.
Maybe not in the 92, then they were much better
The most relatable statement.
made me laugh too especially because Josh Homme went on to become literally the best guitarist in the world for his genre
@@BigHeartMusicOfficial I agree 100%, but he still couldn't play metal xd
Based on how strong their personalities are, I can see how Brant and Josh clashed in the end
You can totally tell that Brant and Josh are the brains of Kyuss, Its those 2 and John and Scott doing what they tell them, The Lennon and Mccartney of Desert Rock
David Oglesby
Good point!
kyuss was a band not just 2 members, without reeder,olivieri and garcia especially garcia kyuss would be nowhere , no offense of course
Bullshit, Garcia had an major influess, i mean listen to slo burn and unida and compare them to queens of the stone age and the solo stuff from brant and tell me whats more like kyuss. But its right that every bandmember was important for kyuss. I wouldn't want to have kyuss over way than josh,brant, scott reeder(one of my favourite bassists) and garcia.
@@DerNerver Josh Homme and Brant Bjork wrote all songs. The others have nearly no writing credits. Slo Burn and Unida sound more like Kyuss because they simply copied the sound. Homme and Bjork wanted to make different music with their newer projects. Especially QOTSA sound different with every record.
@Filippo Buono Brant Bjork came into an already made band. Fu Manchu's sound was established. Scott Hill is the primarily writer and band leader in Fu Manchu. It changed a bit with Bjork and the new guitarist Bob Balch though. It was less fuzzy and more groovy in the period with Bjork.
Garcia: "Don't speak to me, I'm just singing the song's, I have nothing to add!"
So weird hearing Josh give straight answers. He's usually a sarcastic smartass in interviews
''We do not confirm or deny, no comments'' - sarcastic enough for 19 yo bastard, imho
Hahaha Josh had the age that I've now..19/20!
Johns hair is fantastic. Silky smooth
haha john at 14:41
John Garcia seems to be a beyond nervous guy, which is quite odd with his aggressive vocal style.
+Alan Donnet he`s probably high too, tho
+fugooglestupid Absolutely baked.
+Alan Donnet Watch his other interviews... He looks insecure, and he is so fucking humble. That never ceases to amaze me. A vocals god, yet a normal person off-stage, a real cool father and person
Lol, he's doing something else, kind of did not notice him.
I think he is messing with josh homme, standing there with his ass in his face. I sort of get the vibe that they don’t like him.
John Garcia is high AF
+Angel Mantis why, because he's smiling and has long hair? stop tripping "Angel"
+Coldacre XD 20:50 says it all
+Coldacre XD 20:50 says it all
"I'm proud to be Mexican music."
They’re literally all high, they were forerunners in a genre called stoner rock for a reason.
scott is a fucking bass master!
Didn't think john was ever going to shut up. Just kept taking all the words out josh's mouth
That was Brandt, not John...

personally one of the bands that excite me most in recent years is wavves. they're killing it
"To me, there's two Jimmys: there's Jimi Hendrix, and there's Jimmy Page."
Also, he said that he grew up listening to early ZZ Top.
Interesting that they're saying they didn't listen to Sabbath...
+j Hall they didn't, they're mostly punk influenced. Black flag etc...
@@jeroenverbeeck7925 Yeah, but the sound of Kyuss isn't Punk. It's heavily blues, doom metal and psychedelic rock sounding. They maybe listened to Punk a lot but they made totally different music. At least since "Blues for the Red Sun". They did have some punkish songs on their first record "Wretch" but the majority doesn't care too much for that record. The second album "Blues for the Red Sun" was the start of the "Kyuss Sound" and that had more in common with Black Sabbath than with Black Flag.
Funny,,,, they ended up covering a Sabbath song later on though
@@brotherkarisa7044 yeah😅
Johns left eye confirms he is trippin balls 14:41
He’s like I’m just gonna be a fly on the wall
I’m like this when I’m trippin Lol
The guy in the army jacket is a living legend named John Garcia
I think Garcia was high or maybe bored. Or Both.
Definitely both.
kyuss was super chunky in a good way
Is this really 1992? This would make Josh and Brant only 20/21 years old and this was the time of the 3rd album? Shit they got into the game young
Actually they were only 19 at the time.
AICALEXAIC This is after they recorded thier 2nd album. Blues 4 da red Sun".......
Damn, I was barely more than a hope and a dream, not even 5 months old. Little did I know how much this band would influence my musical endeavors
looks like johnny dropped and isn't into the cramped interview.
Fuck.. Josh is 19 here?!
So is Brant.
Who?
SethHesio Brant Bjork, the BADASS drummer of Kyuss! The guy doing most of the talking (aside from Josh)
He speaks like someone way older. Old soul.
Brant and Josh were 19, John was 22, and Scott was 27.
Baby Josh!
Baby Duck
Young John Garcia was a calibre of sexy that should be illegal.
The munchies must have been driving John nuts!! He just had to eat that whatever that was in that take out container.
He looks like Marshall Mathers in the early days.
This is great!! A glimpse into these stellar musicians as they were coming up! While the grunge craze was in full effect...
I think it's funny how John Garcia avoids the camera...
I also think its funny how much they try to downplay the Sabbath influence...they covered Into The Void for christ's sake...
Still...it was really cool to see this...
Thank You JohnnyClash!!!
They look like extras in "Sons of Anarchy"
Sons of anarchy looks like extras in kyuss you mean:)
I was -3 years old.
Wow, thanks for posting this rare footage! My old roommate Steve convinced me to spend 7 of my last $20 on this show, the remaining $13 was enough for subway fare and 2 beers. My memory of that night was a LOT of hair on stage, way more hair than you actually see in this interview. Clearly Scott Reeder is responsible for burning this memory into my brain. What a cool night
Cameron Diaz has let herself go! :)
It's a branding thing, they don't want want to labeled as a Black Sabbath rip off band and discarded, it's the same reason why Tame Impala now a days says the same sort of thing about a Beatles influence.
but I wonder about this...
Kyuss compositions were 'guitar-centered' music.. and that's what always turned me off of punk rock, that everything seems to be 'vocal-centered'... what I mean by this is that the singing and vocals pull the rest of the instruments, and Kyuss is guitar centered because the vocals follows the instrumental, and the riffs and guitar is central, if they were punkers, where does this come from?
also, who influenced Josh's grooves? I can only think of Hendrix... who else?
...er....wut..?
The Doors, ITNR
Jeez Johns bloody quiet
John eyes.. lol. Great interview with massive band!!
lol "were not good enough to play metal":P
I think they lied about sabbath i wouldnt say i here sabbath in there music
Theres a groove in kyuss but they sound more like fu manchu,sleep,nebula and all those guys but i think they lied about sabbath i think they do like them in some way
@@dyr234 stoner metal
at the end of the day its all rock. i'm over tags
@@dyr234 desert rock ;)
@@grimg0r i use this one a lot. Its the perfect term
If anyone was at this show, you'd remember having tinnitus for three days following.
Damn it was loud.
Proper! \m/

Oh my gosh, you were there?
now this is super rare!
(About lyrics) "We have no control .... Anytime you stray from what your first reaction to something is...you end up second -guessing yourself, and we don't wanna do that sort of thing"
In regular life, you have to second-guess, I guess, but damn it, I know from hundreds of failed attempts to write songs, that what Josh says here rings true. Problem is, if you end up writing ten different songs that seem like they come from ten different musical universes you have no clue about your identity musically and so it doesn't feel like you got 'something' in singular. But being honest is a must - some fTYUTUYYTkn how!
Josh is 19 here? He seems like an old soul or something. I have never met an 19 year old like that.
yeah man he has a strange disease called playing guitar fucking awesome man :v what a strange disease man xdd
That's the virus
Totally same thoughts. It's little scary cause he's the same person now. He's a real vampire?
9:16 Kyuss is god
Josh homme talking some real shiz..
Folks are too concerned about boxes what style of music are you into... music is music
This is exactly why I love RUclips ❤
awesome video, not many kyuss interviews around the internet. little they knew that they'd enter desert rock folklore.
funny how that loser from fall out boy looks like josh in this video.
I was 18 in 1992. Kyuss was and still is my favourite band. Total OG. NOBODY PLAYED LIKE THEM BEFORE.
Everybody today is talking about Nirvana. Nirvana was mainstream back then, kinda like Ed Sheeran today. To all the young people here. This was the shit back then. And like Hommie says : if you weren't there , well, you weren't.
Nirvana was far from original, if you have doubts about it, go listen to the wipers or melvins or sonic youth.
Todays confirmation of mediocrity made nirvana a legend.
.....😳😳😳 what in gods name are you talking about 🤦🏻♂️😆🤣 ...nirvana.? Wut?
Nirvana were good but heavily influenced by bands like Meat Puppets and Big Black. Unoriginal but very good song writers.
People were so much smarter back then
16:37 aaaand he tries out for Metallica. Yep.
great quality Kyuss interview!
you guys going on about the Sabbath thing don't really get it. you prob didn't grow up then, and your not hearing what josh is saying. there is a difference between being aware of something and being influenced. im the exact same age as these guys and I WAS a metal kid. and these guys, especially josh, were not metal kids. 14:10 brant hits the nail on the head perfectly. and just like brant said, kids like me and kids like them intersected at bands like COC.
Not influenced by Sabbath? Come on.
What is into the void then right?
They covered it because Frank Kozik, who ran Man's Ruin Records, asked them to. I was also surprised that they weren't really inspired by Sabbath.
They're just being ironic dude. A very dry sense of humor is what these guys got.
Why don't you believe it?
I know! Brant has always been this beautiful humble soul, even now to this day, he speaks so fondly of Joshua and I've never heard or seen him talk bad about the whole Kyuss war. He is very honest about it all but he remains to be very respectful and loyal and I totally agree, Brant is the number 1, I've always been in loouuve with him! I finally got to see him play earlier in the year and my god he was fantastic.....
Lmfao. You’re joking right? Or is this Brant bjorks burner account...? Are you his cousin..?
This guy "the ninth heart" is in EVERY Kyuss video sucking Josh's balls and discrediting Brant.
He's so mad that Brant is the genius behind Kyuss and wrote 90% of Kyuss's best songs.
Homme is sellout trash.
I remember this show like it was yesterday, I guess the Alzheimer's does that to you.
The fact that Josh mentioned On Through The Night makes that album even better than it already is!
i know right!
Scott reeder looks like he just came out of Moria
they never listened or liked black sabbath.... bulls!
I'm always so right!
"1. What artist inspired you to create art?
People like Hendrix or greg ginn or Django Reinhardt. People like them don’t try, they are. Can’t try to be cool…"
Really cool getting to see them all back then. Thanks!
Like a time machine. Pretty cool. Thanks. I still jam Kyuss.
J-Josh said Grunge-bullshit :OOOOO xD
What I would do to get my hands on one of those posters
there is only one guy who is cooler than young josh homme.. the older josh homme!
brant is so fkn underrated
2 days later, i was born. So much talent on these fellas
Weird for brant i never saw sabbath as a downer
Interviewer should have done a better job moderating this interview. She let Bran repeat himself over and over and at that point she should have encouraged others to chip in or move on to the next question. Josh says a lot of things that are intriguing here. A lot of what he says now show that throughout all these years his stance on music has not changed. The stamp of a man of integrity.
By the end Garcia's like "It's about time someone reached out to me."
Oh, three posts in a row; don't wanna look weird, now....
Can't confirm nor deny...words to live by.
Qotsa covered paranoid from Black Sabbath. It's on youtube
That Josh sure got perdy eyes.
Unbelievable! I'm from Italy...went to the States in 2008 to see Lake Michigan and drove thru The Rivoli and stopped right there to piss..anyway, it's beautiful watching at these guys and seeing them unaware of what they just recorded that year!
Wow but if it is Vista Chino!!!
i wish they wouldn't avoid the questions... just be straight up
Scott the humble
i felt sorry for the interviewer...she sounds so young and it must've been a bit uncomfortable being around guys who are drunk and high.
keeelane Why do you think they're all drunk & high? haha
Thee Ol' Boozeroo ny when u have Done the drugs you see the drugs
@keelane lol what
Saying they were never big fans of Sabbath is weird, considering that they released a cover of Into the Void years later.
whats a joke?
@@troglobb ...seriously?
It’s a joke, genius
the comparison doesn't hold up unless its in terms of describing how originally fucking heavy and influencial both bands were. kyuss was so mold breaking in terms of heavy music at that time, the Sabbath comparison was all that was left, and still is. there was no other heavy band to compare them to. but other than tuning down, josh and tonys fundamental approach is very different, josh is not a big power chord blues guy, kind of Sabbath 101. brants more power chordy. and john is all ian astbury
Josh looks so much like Kimi Raikkonen!
I get that.It's their believe not to be branded in any way and that's exactly what drove them to make this awesome music.But Black Sabbath is obviously an influence in their sound which they don't seem to admit it.This is my point...I mean without Toni Iommi they wouldn't exist as a band imho.
"it looks like a lemon, and a HUGE bowel movement"
Josh Home looks like he would ask you "How are those maggots, how do they taste Michael?"
someone replied to another comment i posted about one of the kyuss guys saying "ginger baker" on drums to tell me they were referring to a different ginger baker, and i said yeah i know it's a different guy but hearing the phrase "ginger baker on drums" was amusing because he is a legendary drummer.
Kyuss rules!
8:04 the reason he can’t confirm or deny that statement is because Blud is 19 YEARS OLD.
"and you will cover 'Into the Void' by Black Sabbath, too, even though you say you don't listen to it but it will sound badass, anyway"
Can somebody confirm to me that Josh's age here is 19! If he was born in 1973? I can't believe he is only 39. I thought all these years that he was older! Is he lying about his age? Damn.
Funny how they say they don't like Sabbath but ended up covering one of their songs,,
It’s a joke
Chris Goss kept asking them to cover it or so the rumour goes.
Find Josh Homme so crazy attractive. This is from the day after I was born 😂
Jesus, I expected Josh to sound younger but I can hardly recognize his voice 💀
That gig at the Rivoli was incredible. Changed me in my career.
I wish I could find my Kyuss is god pin
