Audioslave is mellow stuff, both are good in my book.

alvarez i dig qotsa big time. really good stuff. plus i like josh homme alot. he played guitar for the screaming trees who i also dig. they were in ausitn a while back but i didnt get to catch their show. sucks.
lanegan also had a great voice. i wish i could find the screaming trees cd i had in high school.
These were taken when QOTSA did a gig @ Emo's in Austin... it was right after they did a small acoustic set at Waterloo records in front of maybe 200 people... great times... favorite band for me. Josh Homme is cool as in person, very laid back.
^^^^omg... sorry... i dont know how to make them smaller... many apologies.
QOTSA are good, but Kyuss were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better!
John Garcia has got one of the best voices in music.
Get ahold of anything from Kyuss, Unida or SloBurn, and find out for yourself!
"Whiskey for the Holy Ghost" by Mark Lanegan is awesome.
But Soundgarden is much better than Audioslave, though I like both. I am glad I got to see Soundgarden before they broke up.
Speaking of Emo's in Austin.....
we have gone 4 times to see various bands..
twice WE have gotton in free because Emo's name is EMO.
they see his driver's licsence and laugh thier asses off.
free stuff
Kyuss is great too... but it's more "chillin in your room listening to music" music. While QOTSA is more of a driving type of music. Besides Wretch, Blues for the Red Sun, Sky Valley, and The Circus Leaves Town they also have some songs released on a split EP with QOTSA that features 3 great songs (one of which is a cover of Into the Void) and Unida's unreleased album is probably actually their best one.
I'd argue that "Blues....." is driving music moreso than most of anything of QOTSA's (with the possible exception of the debut album). "Wretch", "Welcome to Sky Valley" and "......and the Circus Leaves Town" are definately discs to listen to when you're just in the mood to hear some good tunes and not do anything else.Kyuss is great too... but it's more "chillin in your room listening to music" music.

I've never seen that Kyuss/Queens split anywhere. I knew it existed, but never saw it anywhere for sale (aprt from eBay). I actually heard their version of "Into the Void" not too long ago, and I was VERY impressed with it!
I tracked down "Coping With the Urban Coyote" a few months ago, something I thought I'd NEVER find again! That is a great album. Their split with Dozer has some great material on it too.
You ever hear any of those "Desert Sessions" albums? Or Mondo Generator? Or Eagles of Death Metal? Or (naturally) Fu Manchu? All of which feature former Kyuss members.
I got to see Kyuss twice while they were still around, I've seen Fu Manchu two or three times and I saw Unida once as well. All were great live.
^^^ I probably have everything that any of those bands you mentioned has ever released. Did you by any chance see the QOTSA gig at the Wiltern in LA not too long ago? John Garcia actually came back and did a couple of songs with QOTSA, and I probably woulda spent my tuition money to go see it if I knew they were gonna do that
I might of just giving it to hear Thumb

I didn't go but my friend was telling me about it.
He said that both John and Brant were up there with Josh and they did a 6 song Kyuss mini-set. Lucky in' bas !
He was also telling me that there were some kids not too far away from him talking, and one of them was schooling the other by informing him "This was QOTSA before they were QOTSA!"!!!!!
I just about fell to the floor laughing when he told me that!
I never heard anything about Brant being there... if he was, they shoulda put him on drums instead of Castillo because he's the one who wrote the music in the first place... on another note, they just finished recording DS 11-12 not too long ago and apparently QOTSA is starting to work on their next album... I'm not expecting anything hard hitting.. I'm expecting more mellow stuff to reflect Josh's new found fatherhood.. should be interesting in the least.
My friend swears that Brant was there. Of course, he has done a lot of damage to himself through the use of chemical stimuli, but that's neither her nor there. *L*
I was never too big on those DS albums. IMO, the material was pretty thin. I'm not to high on that EoDM stuff, either. Too poppy for my liking, from what little I've heard.
What is John Garcia doing these days, anyway? Does he still have SloBurn going or has that outfit split up too?
What did you think of the live Queens disc/DVD?
BTW, thanks for those links. Those videos were awesome!
Speaking of Soundgarden................................
Was anyone here a fan of Temple of the Dog?
That album ing rocked.
"I don't mind stealing bread, from the mouths of decadence, and I can't feed on the powerless when my cups already overfilled"
What the ever happened to that "type" of music. I'm not sure how to classify it.
You know, the "Soundgarden-Pearl Jam-Stone Temple Pilots-Red Hot Chili Peppers-Alice in Chains" years............what the happened to quality music like that?
The DS albums have to be listened to fully and preferably through headphones... they really are something special if you like experimentation and the like... Rickshaw is one of my favorite songs and it sounds unique because they use 2 drummers and it has a nice vibe. If you can, try to listen to every song and give them each a chance. EoDM shouldn't be taken as pop either... it's Jesse trying to make music that hasn't been done in quite a while and just because he's a little... eccentric, shouldn't be a knock against him. EoDM and QOTSA are some of the few bands that I like because once you hear 5 seconds of their songs you can immediately know who they are and there is no second guessing.
Grunge?What the ever happened to that "type" of music. I'm not sure how to classify it.
it got overexposed and ate itself, and got regurgitated by too many imitators. the money went elsewhere.
You jerk.
Stick this.
I was dreading this thread.
Soundgarden man, how can you even come close to it? Fell On Black days is ing classic.
I like Audioslave, but yeah, not even close.
On the live Audioslave DVD you can see Chris try the Rage songs, and I gotta agree, it is HORRIBLE.
BTW, Pearl Jams new album is damn good.
Speaking of Emo's in Austin.....

twice WE have gotton in free because Emo's name is EMO.
they see his driver's licsence and laugh thier asses off.
I thought Emo was a nickname?
