Reply to comment by rylalu in Kyuss-Welcome to sky Valley. The rawest sound of desert rock ever recorded? by Wonder-Lad

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.
