Homme 15:
The final selection from Kyuss, Love Has Passed Me By takes us back to their first album Wretch in the early 90's, and for me is clearly the peak of what the band has done. Short at just over three minutes, it's a pretty simple rock track, the only song off the album co-written by Homme with drummer Brant Bjork. I'm liking the straight up guitar + drums = rock equation on this one.
Homme 14:
Moving forward near two decades, Them Crooked Vultures was a short lived supergroup featuring Homme, John Paul Jones on bass and Dave Grohl on drums, releasing just their self titled debut to date, while rumours and murmurings of a second album continue. Caligulove was an album track here, and while the album as a whole has been described by someone somewhat critically as a second-tier QOTSA album, there's some definite highlights on it, mixing the QOTSA sound of the time with some of the natural Zep/Nirvana influences which you'd expect given the line-up. Would definitely be cool to see a second album at some stage but we'll just have to work with the one for now.
Homme 13:
Going back again to early Queens stuff, Feel Good Hit Of The Summer was the opening track off their second album Rated R, and is a quick sub-3 minute blast of rock silliness, basically written around a couple of riffs, some nice brief guitar solos and crazy lyrics just listing exactly what got Homme so wasted at one party at the time. Said lyrics drew some criticism based on the general content, to which wise observers would point out that there's a clue in the album title.
Should get 12-9 up later this evening
