I first saw Kyuss open up for White Zombie in 1992 at Irvine Meadows,CA (when it was still called Irvine Meadows)and was hooked instantly. I was also lucky enough to make a Vegas trip to see Kyuss Lives! on October 7th of this year and I thought THAT show was great, it was nothing in comparison to Tuesday night. The crowd was seriously pumped up and Kyuss fed off of it, it was obvious. <br /><br /> I do however have to disagree (with all due respect of course) with Nik Christofferson's assessment of "The Sword" I thought they were fantastic at both the Vegas shows and Tuesday night.<br /><br /><br />Eddie...... <br /><br />AKA Evil-EEvil_Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07962501254874580363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748908737506855961.post-40730789782492438242011-11-26T15:52:04.457-08:002011-11-26T15:52:04.457-08:00I have had the fortune of seeing Kyuss 2 times pri...I have had the fortune of seeing Kyuss 2 times prior to the Nov. 22nd show in Seattle. The first was at the Roseland Theater in Portland with Faith No More and Babes in Toyland. This was on the Blues For The Red Sun tour. I was instantly hooked on this band. Their vibe and their sound could not be matched. <br /><br />The second time was on the Welcome To Sky Valley tour where they opened up for Ween. This show was at La Luna in Portland. This show was unreal. After Kyuss finished playing I ran outside, not caring to see Ween, and managed to get to hang out with Josh Homme, now of Queens of the Stone Age. While on their tour bus I managed to get Josh to sign a tour poster for me. This was an amazing experience. <br /><br />Now fast forward 16 years to Kyuss Lives. I saw that they were back together and on tour. The day I saw tickets I had to have them. BUT WAIT ... VIP you say. Hell yeah. My dreams were coming true. I footed the extra loot for my wife and I to not only get some cool swag (2 shirts, a pick tin with 4 picks, a biker patch, a numbered Lithograph and a laminate) but we got to sit in on soundcheck and do a meet and greet. I made a trip to Palm Desert CA to get my picture taken with the actual sign used for the Welcome To Sky Valley album, so I took that picture as well as the poster from 16 years before to get autographed by the guys. I have to say that John, Brandt, Bruno and Nick are some of the nicest, coolest guys you could ever meet. I was honestly a kid in a candy store and everyone knew it. The band was impressed with both the picture and the poster as were the other 12 people doing the meet and greet. <br /><br />Then the show. There isn't much to say. Spot on, driving. I love this band. I went to one other show this year, KISS, and this one ... takes the cake.<br /><br />Kyuss Lives!!!<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />DevilmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
