Line 8:
However, they didn't have nearly as much commercial success or recognition as [[Queens of the Stone Age]], a band you've probably heard of that is fronted by Josh Homme, former guitarist for Kyuss.
 
They formed in 1989 as Sons of Kyuss, and released an EP [[Self -Titled Album|under that name]] in 1990 before shortening their name to "Kyuss". Over the next few years, the band released four full-length albums before splitting up in 1995. Their only constant members were vocalist John Garcia (known for his very recognisable voice, which is often said to be synonymous with the genre) and guitarist Josh Homme, who you already know of.

Line 37:
* [[Heavy Mithril]]: They're named after a ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' demigod.
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]] - On the border between 6 and 7. Some of their gentler songs go as low as 3 (the acoustic blues-rock tune "Space Cadet").
* [[NamesName's the Same]] - What does Brant's family name remind you of?...
** "Thong Song" isn't about ladies' undergarments. It's about a type of sandals popular in the Palm Desert.
* [[Non -Appearing Title]] - Several examples, including "Gardenia", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop" and "50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)".
* [[One of Us]] - See [[A Good Name for A Rock Band]] above.
* [[Shout Out]] - The main "Freedom Run" riff has a slight similarity to [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Sabbath]]'s "War Pigs". Both are completely awesome.
Line 46:
* [[The Red Stapler]] - Josh's Ovation GP guitar.
** Basically, some fans instantly went to eBay when they discovered what he was playing and managed to hike the prices of a guitar that was fairly unpopular up to insane heights. Now you're lucky if GP aficionados don't tear you apart for wanting "Josh Homme's guitar."
* [[Title -Only Chorus]]: FREEDOM RUN! FREEDOM RUN!
* [[Word Salad Title]] - "(Beginning of What's About to Happen) Hwy 74", "Apothecaries' Weight", "Molten Universe", "50 Million Year Trip (Downside Up)", "Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop", "Demon Cleaner", "Thee Ol' Boozeroony", "Tangy Sizzle", "Phototropic". Their other songs tend to be less out there as far as titles go.
