    Just to be clear, "Lick Doo" is a hidden song on the CD, so it's part of track 10 which is the track corresponding to "Whitewater", but it's just a little unlisted bonus at the end of the CD stuck on there as a joke. Ryan, the silence between them *is* the separation you were asking for; the fact that they're paired together in this way is an artifact of how the tracks and songs are encoded on the CD. When you evaluate "Whitewater" in your head, you really shouldn't count "Lick Doo" in that.

    Talking about why they didnt get more popular: They were on the edge of having their big breakthrough (Touring with Metallica in Australia, for example) but the bandmembers had mixed feelings about getting really big. Coming from this really small and undergound desertscene, some of the members wanted to keep it that way. And also Josh Homme, the guitar player, wanted something different for himself. He went creatively in a different direction and started "Queens of the Stone Age". So, they disbanded before they hit big succes.... and that way Kyuss become a legend

    • @corey1788
      @corey1788 3 года назад +2

      And according to several stories Homme turned into a total douche when the remaining members wanted to continue with Kyuss. It got pretty ugly and ended up in court. Lost all interest in anything Homme has been involved in after Kyuss.

    • @TheFryBr
      @TheFryBr 3 года назад +13

      @@corey1788 well, I think as always there's two sides of the story... When Garcia went on to perform Kyuss-Songs in 2010 Homme was alright with it and there's even video-footage where he was hanging out backstage at a festival where Garcia performed and he nodded his head to the music. I think the problem was that at first Garcia wanted to go on tour with the old Kyuss-Songs to promote his new solo-project, but that never happened. Instead he just went on touring and touring with the old material other old members from Kyuss joined the bandwagon and the whole thing became what Kyuss never was supposed to be: a moneymaking machine. Then Garcia, Brant Bjork and Olivier wanted to record a new album under name of Kyuss Lives and that was the point where Homme wanted to stop the thing and started a lawsuit. And in a way I can understand that. He was the main creative force behind Kyuss, recording anything under this band name without him being involved, wouldn't have done justice to this name. He wanted to protect his legacy, which is his right. Also, Scott Reeder joined him in this lawsuit and as far as I know, he is a very chilled and nice guy.
      But I can understand everybody who says Homme's music after Kyuss is not for me.... It's very different.

    Whitewater is a national park and that area is where they played those legendary generator parties where they developed that sound. They jammed their songs because they never wanted the vibe to stop. They really were playing music for their tribe to dance to under the desert stars. It was never meant to be big they were playing for their tribe. They never had roadies. They loaded in and loaded out. It was very diy. A diy scene for desert kids with nothing to do and all the bands sounded unique because copying each other was sacrilege. Honestly it’s pretty amazing that shit even happened and was exposed to the outside world

    "Hidden bonus tracks" were all the rage back then. A long pause at the end of the "last track" of the album, gives way to a throwaway joke track. There are other ways of doing it, but that was the most popular because you could do it on a vinyl album or CD.

  • @PalmDesertRock
    @PalmDesertRock 3 года назад +25

    There are other songs where Garcia's vocals are mixed more in the foreground, but this just sounds like the band is playing _right here_ while Garcia's _over there_ in the kitchen yelling from the adjacent room. But it just works. They're often described as sounding like a sandstorm, and this song is a great example for this. The warm, calm intro, the sudden burst of raspy sand blasting into your face followed by the calm after the storm when nothing is left but serenity and warmth.
    Also, Tool covered this band before. I've had a live bootleg from Tool playing Demon Cleaner over 15 years ago. I think the comparisons are fine.
    A last bit of trivia: they recorded this album in a few days, and the record company kept bugging them that they should produce a single that they could play on the radio and market to people. But the band wasn't interested in playing by the rules imposed on them, so when this album first released, it had only 3 "suites", each comprised of multiple songs and each much too long for a single release. Josh Homme still laughs when he remembers the faces of the record company's representatives.

    @BockwinkleB 3 года назад +24

    The sound of Kyuss was "cultivated" They had their thing that was influenced by the Joshua Tree scene at the time. A friend / producer, Chris Goss basically shepherded them through their albums as he did not want them to lose the the "sound" they had and become "commercial". He was successful, a pretty unique band that inspired dozens of copycats, but was never commercially successful.
    Eventually Josh Homme became disillusioned with having to be tied to "the sound" and left to form Queens of the Stone Age later. Another great band.

On the flip side I find it weird that this deep into your journey into this world that Ryan is still thrown off by distortion/fuzz but that’s the joy of the joy of the pure listener reaction. I’d love to see you guys do Slo Burn - Pilot The Dune. Same singer as Kyuss, dare I say a bit more accessible but just generally a big banger (don’t worry Ryan it’s a little less fuzzy)

    Kyuss is great…this is where stoner metal begins. If you’re digging this, set up a Fu Manchu station on Pandora…you’ll get hammered with similar music. I discovered Truckfighters this way, and you’ll get a lot of Clutch too who are IMHO one of the best and most underrated bands of our time. Naturally, you’ll get a lot of Queens of the Store Age, probably the most commercially successful stoner bands. Josh Homme started out in Kyuss and ended up in QOTSA.You’re absolutely right about that Hendrix influence. It’s amazing, Hendrix has been dead over 50 years and still shaping musicians everywhere. Truly a rock legend!
    Tool is totally different thing, even of there’s a cross-appeal.

    So, in the 90s its was pretty common to have tracks on CDs that were "hidden" in some fashion: unlisted in album notes and track listing (this was often compounded by having one or more "blank" tracks between the last listed track and the hidden track; IIRC Marilyn Mason did that with one of his CDs, putting a hidden song at track 99); some you had to "rewind" to before Track 1; and some were just tacked on at the end of tracks after a period of silence.
    You know how hi-hop artists did the skits on their disks between tracks? Same idea; this was rock and metal's version of it. Lick Doo should absolutely be considered a separate track/piece of music and not at all part of Whitewater.

  • @jonathanhenderson9422
    @jonathanhenderson9422 4 года назад +1

    One thing that set Kyuss apart from other stoner metal bands is that they were more psychedelic/jam-based. Bands like Electric Wizard and Sleep tended to be slower and would settle into more consistent riffs/grooves. That fuzzy guitar tone is indeed THE signature sound for stoner rock. Very akin to wandering around in a haze of marijuana smoke, and the psychedelic, groovy, repetitive riffs play into that aesthetic too. It's true that this isn't well-produced by classic standards, but it very much creates its own unique atmosphere that you couldn't get with cleaner production.
    Kyuss definitely didn't get their due, but a major reason was that they only released albums for 4 years before splitting. They were definitely appreciated by those into underground alternative rock music, and by the time Homme came out with Queens of the Stone Age the world was finally ready for that sound. Of course, QOTSA also had more mainstream appeal with poppier hooks and cleaner production. That bit at the end, Lick Doo, was just a throwaway mini-track they used to close the album. For some reason, the original release of this album was split into 3 tracks, essentially treating the songs as suites. I think later releases did split up the songs into separate tracks, so I don't know why Lick Doo was on the end of this track.
