QOTSA pretty much rock.

I'm not saying QOTSA suck, Rated-R and Songs For The Deaf are pretty good solid albums. But when i got into QOTSA back when SFTD came out, one of my older friends recommended Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun to me and it blew my head off, and i was very thankful for that.

i think kyuss was a band with a different ethos.

QotSA seem like an act with a different aim. Its more studio oriented from my brief experience with both.

Yeah, I'm listening to Blues for the red sun now and the vocals suck...badly.

Songs for the deaf was one of my favorite albums.

yeah exactly my point. Its like Kyuss just does. QotSA might review, record, overdubb, and refine.

I get the impression that JH didn't want his musical prowess to die a quick death at the hands of DIY production.

there was an article a while back about the whole kyuss / qotsa thing. i don't remember everything specifically but it basically boiled down to kyuss being an idea and qotsa being a career.

with kyuss the band ran its course. their intention was to make the heaviest stuff they could - and they did - too well. they painted themselves into a corner and the only way out was to either call it a day or to repeat themselves and destroy what they had accomplished to that point.

i don't think the DIY aesthetic has much to do with the survivability of either act.

TheBig3 02-22-2009 08:26 PM
Why would repeating themselves destroy what they'd created?

mr dave 02-22-2009 09:26 PM
i guess it was part of the ideal and a particular view on the analogy.

after having painted themselves into a corner (of the room / garage / whatever - take it literally for the anecdote). the only option they saw to add more creation was to paint over what was already there. i misspoke to say repeating would destroy, but where the band had no intention of resting on its laurels or repeating themselves. so the only option they saw to create more content would have been the unacceptable choice of painting over what was already there.

Yeah, I just think Homme is a much better singer than the dude from Kyuss, who sounds like a hair metal singer...early nineties...urgh...:\
