saw the reformed Kyuss on Weds, minus josh homme, and they fucking rocked. they were really, seriously, good, really tight, full of energy. they were all grinning like madmen, especially brant bjork who looked like he was playing drums for cheech and chong. opened up with gardenia, hurricane, one inch man and thumb, or something approximating that. awesome. josh who?! 
Josh is a douche and the little emo kid that nailed him with a shoe a few years back is my hero. Any band without Josh has to be pretty cool in my book.
