Yes, yes!!! A Kyuss fan, in Ireland! WOW! Good god Blues for the Red Sun and Sky Valley are stone-cold classics! *hyperventilates* Such brilliant riffs they made too, every one of them sticks into your brain the minute you hear them. And the acoustic number on Sky Valley was the first song I learned on my acoustic

Googe

Yeah man Kyuss are my favourite band ever. Do you mean Space Cadet cause that was the first Kyuss song I ever learned. They have so many classic riffs i.e. Odyssey, Demon Cleaner. I have never met anyone into Kyuss before.

You'll probably laugh at this, but the riff / progression in Spinal Tap's "Tonight I'm Gonna Rock Ya (Tonight)" is damn damn catchy...

By the way Nosmo, I like the sig!

"Couldn't you just go around to someone's house and clean-up?... Yeah, and then ask for money for it..."
