Discovered this when i worked at the liquor store one of my coworkers would play music on his zune and helped me to discover kyuss, megadeath, parliament, Ohio players, system, and so many other great bands. I was like listening to pink floyd, the drifters beck and nirvana pretty much religiously before that. Kyuss changed my whole perspective on metal. Better than the QOTSA I had heard on the radio back then. Th whole thing about some guy told kyuss their like the queens of the stone age and they just adopted it. Funny.

Man I miss the Zune. They weren’t as popular as iPods were but everyone who had them loved them.

I came late to both Kyuss and QOTSA but from what I remember learning, Kyuss came first and when they broke up Josh started QOTSA, wit Nick and Mark joining him for Rated R. Did they actually play at the same time or was it another band you were thinking of?

Kyuss was not around at the beginning of QOTSA. They have done a couple reunions over the years without Josh Homme and a few members of Kyuss are featured on Rated R, but the original lineup has not existed since QOTSA first self titled album.

Just the story my coworker told me had no reason to question him.

He knew a ton about music and was a bass player in a few bands when he wasn't selling 4 locos to hobos.

Queens of the Stone age came about after Kyuss broke up. It was Josh Homme's next project with him as the frontman this time.
