I would say the same thing about Kyuss opening for L7.  Kyuss rocked, L7 (the band is had actually gone to see) I almost walked out on...  I liked their studio work, but they stank live.

Haven't seen Kyuss but I saw Queens of the Stone Age opening for Ween for their first album. They were great with a psychedelic film playing behind them. 



Looks like they had the opening band and headliner inverted!

Am I the only one on the list who saw Kyuss live?  It was kind of an accident - a friend and I went to see L7, and Kyuss opened for them.  They were touring their new "Blues for the Red Sun" album, and had some of those little carboard promotional cards for it.  I almost tossed mine out cause I had never heard of Kyuss (and didn't even get the dweeby D&D reference, amazingly enough).  :)  

But while we were hanging out, Kyuss started playing, and Holy Crap-- it was like god had reached down and made a band play exactly kind of heavy downtuned, cranked-up, monster blues metal riffage that's dearest to my heart.  

Tried to buy their albums right after, but this was years before the Web and couldn't find anything in my glorious home town of Buffalo.  Finally found Blues for the Red Sun at (are ready for this?) in a Radio Shack on the NC outer banks that had about 50 CDs for sale in a bin, one of which was an album that I had sought unsuccessfully in some of the largest record stores in the world...  ;-)

And then of course not long after that I found Welcome to Sky Valley, which might possibly be my favorite album ever...
