Kyuss Lives! Tickets

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought tickets for the Terminal 5 show in NYC not long after they went on sale. This was a "bucket list" event for me as I never got to see them back in the 90's. I didn't want to risk the show selling out. I wasn't concerned about quality as they'd played several dates already. I figured that if there were any kinks they'd be worked out. Well, I'm here to say that Kyuss fans shouldn't worry about Homme's absence at the concerts. New guitarist, Bruno Fevery, is a perfect substitute. Not only does he have the guitar sound matched up perfectly, but he plays all the songs with the finesse of someone who's been lovingly playing them for years. I was really surprised by Brant's drumset. All he had was a seven piece! Snare, tom, bass, high hat and three cymbals. That's it! Oliveri was surprisingly sedate. I suppose when you've just gone toe-to-toe with a SWAT team you probably have a lot on your mind and you're going to do everything possible not to make things worse. Garcia was an enigma. He didn't say "Hello" when they came out. He didn't talk with the crowd between songs. A few times he turned his back to the audience and focused his attention on Brant. It reminded me of Morrisson in his early years. Before he got his Mojo going, he had a bit of stage shyness. That could be the same thing here, especially when you're playing in NYC. There were a few smiles towards the end along with a "thank you" once the band wrapped up the encore. They played for an hour and 25 minutes, including the short break before the encore. They didn't play anything off of "Wretch", their under produced debut. Instead they stuck with the material from their better albums: "Blues for the Red Sun", "Welcome to Sky Valley", "...And the Circus Leaves Town". They were great! No forgotten lyrics or messed up riffs. It could've been 1995 for their sound wasn't messed with at all. It wasn't like listening to the CD's. There was no mistaking that this was live, with all of the little pangs of feedback and distortion that goes with the territory.

Big fan of the Sword and Kyuss. Of course the whole Kyuss Lives campaign cannot compare to whatever they were orginially like back in the early 90's, but good music nonetheless. I wish the lead vocals were more out front for all 3 bands. John Garcia is all about wailing away at the mic, so let's hear it! And i heard enough of the Sword's singer to wish he were louder too.

I listened Kyuss when i was 14 or 15 years old and it was 18 years ago so this was special for me. I never even dreamed of seeing them and i was so tired before the show that i thought i won't go but i would never forgive myself that thing.

Kyuss is back and making dreams come true by touring the world. Josh Homme isn't part of the lineup but Garcia, Bjork and Oliveri are jamming just as hard as ever. Bruno Fevery stood in for Homme with just the right balance of mimicing Homme's original Axe work and freestyling his own guitar solo skills in between. The band wasn't as active with the crowd as their music calls for and basically breezed through their whole set without stopping, save for the encore break. It appeared as though they aren't quite into touring shape yet as this was one of the first shows of the tour and they haven't been together since 1996. Sound is still amazing and they still have the most uncanny ability to break from a song with their instumental sections. The setlist would have been absolutely perfect if they did Space Cadet but suprising and awesome nontheless. Increadible show, hopefully they will be in Montclair in December...

Great show. Crowd was good. Sound was good. 1st time at the venue. Kickass!

the sword does not. could've done without that opening band. kyuss was awesome as expected. one song i wished they would've played was 50 million year trip. kind of shocked that they didn't. whatever they're still bad ass. mostly everyone was chill in the audience save for a few fatties grinding themselves against my backside and using me as an object to lean on. nothing a few elbow swipes couldn't fix.

The Sword reminded me of seeing a classic heavy band like Zeppelin, Metallica, Rush or something like that in their early days. Fantastic. Kyuss sounded great. Garcia's voice was awesome and I didn't miss Josh too much. I was pleasantly surprised by both bands' performances. The venue was fine. Friendly and casual staff were cool and didn't interfere with anyone's enjoyment of the show if you know what I mean. The opener, Monstro were cool too. The sound in the show was excellent and the set-lists were great. The place was crowded but not oppressively so. This was one of the coolest crowds I've ever seen a show with. Friendly, diverse in every regard and extremely knowledgeable about music.

I saw Kyuss back in 1993 with the original members and I have to say they are still excellent!

It was great to see them playing again. It's too bad they couldn't get Homme in on the reunion. Fevery played a good lead guitar. I was a little disappointed they didn't play songs off of Wretch.

these guys were great. it was amazing to be able to see them again after thinking their time together was over. glad i got to go. hats off to kyuss lives. :)

Kyuss Lives was amazing! Go see them if they come anywhere near where you live.

Kyuss reunited delivered the goods in Philly, with surprise being Nick back on bass out of the blue. Cool crowd, good vibes..it felt like the Kyuss I recall from 1993. They did a tight 90 + minute set, with a extended, trippy jam by mid set..the new Belgian guitarist was impressive too.

Twenty years later and the songs still hold up but the band does not. Without Josh Homme on guitar, it just felt like I was watching a really good cover band. Garcia should have just stuck to the regular lyrics instead of adding these yelps and yowls and extra crap to fill in for notes that he just couldn't quite hang on to or hit anymore and let the music do the talking. Troc is an ok venue. Crowd was a bunch of meatheads past their prime.
