This was one of my favorite cuts when I first heard Sky Valley, I didn't know it was a cover till much later. Come to find out Mario and his boys have cut some really wicked tunes and directly influenced a lot of the music that came from the desert, hats off to him as the desert bedrock.
I've known Mario since I saw his VERY FIRST BAND in the early 80's in Bermuda Dunes, California at a party in a living room. They were called "DEAD ISSUE." Famous bassist and my friend Scott Reeder was then on drums. Happy to see all my fellow desert fellas have so much success over the past 40-years.
must have been such great times. incredible amounts of nostalgia.... like that feeling you get when you watch the sunset over the horizon... :-) can't describe it.
The Across the River 1985 demo version of this song is ridiculously raw and good. His voice is so much better than what Kyuss could do with it. Far more soulful and punk at the same time. The whole tape captures a musical spirit you hope to find sifting through old vinyl. If you have not heard Across the River go to the search bar and type in Across the River 1985 Demo and enjoy "Tomorrow... tomorrow... its always tomorrow!"
@@dezionlion so the guy probably likes the same stuff as you do, possibly plays the same instrument, perhaps with greater passion and the best you can do is putting him down like 12 years olds do? It seems you're not much of a professional musician yourself, unless of course you start to list all the famous band you've been playing with. Bullies will be bullies.
Big respect for this man,the music he created was amazing. One of a kind
So Kyuss didn't spring from a cactus flower fully formed? I'll be damned....! Thanks to Brant Bjork for giving credit to his influences
I agree
godfather of stoner rock!
that heavy riff in N.O. is one of the tightest grooves
I know right! Classic desert 🌵 OG groove
That tone is incredible.
look at the smile on his face. this man loves what he does. MARIO YOURE MY GOD
Thank you for making the greatest music on the planet Mario. You have inspired me to play since I was 14.

Incredibly stoked to be seeing him play with Yawning Man and Truckfighters on their North American tour soon! YEW!

One of the coolest and most unique riffs ever.

Kyuss, Queens, Masters all in one riff. Saw the Brant Björk trio yesterday. So amazing all these guys. 🤘🏻😎
Mario's the man, such a beast on the bass and the guitar........a living legend and such a great guy.
humble legend
A true pioneer, i love across the river they should release this officially and remaster it. I would definitely be a consumer.
the passion while he's playing, awesome!
F u k i n S i c k. You own this Mario.

That across the river demo is awesome!
Thanks for the great video, Kyuss lives!
The guitar playing make captions appear. That's some sweet guitar talking, baby!
Ye Heavy Riff stones me high!!!
Cracking riffs!
Chorus riff so sweet
God bless you.
4:06 when you start hearing the whole band grooving with you
hello Mario, thanks for the video, really useful. Also thank you, because when my girlfriend left me, your music made me feel better. A hug :-)
Legend
Every face that should be pulled when playing this song
He was gettin into it lol
He always gets into it. That's what makes him great.
Homme was right when he said he’s unheckleable. You can’t deny the guinuine feel behind his playing.
in UCLA Film School, I used Sorta Quartet for my film short. These guys are the shit!
King Mario..respect
I hvnt seen him play since man's ruin days. I have a 1970 OR120 that looks just like that head btw
sooo heavy fuckin awesome to see the real deal
Mario sos lo mas❤️❤️👏👏👏
Lots of Leslie West influence without beig aripoff, loff this
That’s music for you!
Mario make some BARDO !!
Awesome
no surprise that this is followed by a segment with bob balch. the "heavy riff"in this song has a full on fu manchu vibe
The bull Spanish yehaa!!! Ole ole!
What tuning is this in? Followed the link, but I didn't find it.
...
If you ask me it's in regular standard tuing: E A D G B e
True!.... my bad.. sorry
C standard
I was there
You should remake "Leaving" by Across The River...PLEASE
Regroup, record and release !
Devo
Fucking superb
great actor :)
Denn Mcambley he is not acting
What model ampeg is that?
Ampeg v 4
+Arjun Narayan isnt that a bass amp?
Can be. Also great for guitar
Mario rules!! rancho de la luna??
I think it is. I've seen a few videos on it and that looks familiar.
JUST HELP ME FIND MY HEAD!
So much Sabbath
So basically Kyuss were just a Yawning Man covers band...??
N.O. was a song by Across the River, not Yawning man. Kyuss covered Catamaran by Yawning Man later on
They covered a couple songs, as every band does. 90% of their shit is original.
@@siebenedrissg Wait, Catamaran is a cover too?? How did I not know that? Might be my favorite song on Circus Leaves Town!!! Killer!
is he using a bass amp??
it's a guitar amp. Either a V2 or V4. It's basically a bass amp though (a V4B is just a V4 without reverb).
Kyuss, Josh Homme used a bass amp for Kyuss.
Old u2.
Super Mario
Boomer rocks!
Not much of a lesson..
Then you’re not much of a guitarist
