Kyuss being labelled as “the next Metallica” in the early-’90s.Kyuss are considered one of the seminal names in stoner rock, formed in 1987 by future Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme alongside vocalist John Garcia, guitarist Nick Oliveri, bassist Chris Cockrell and Bjork.By the time of the release of their third studio album ‘Welcome To Sky Valley’ in 1994, the band were signed Elektra Records, the same label that was home to James Hetfield’s metal icons.In a new interview with Metal Hammer, Bjork has spoken about the weight of being compared to their label mates at the time, noting that it was not the compliment that label executives might have imagined.“Our guy at the label would always say, ‘You guys will be the next Metallica’, and that bummed me out,” Bjork said. “I wanted to be this Kyuss! I felt like we fucking rocked and had hit the peak of our chemistry at the time, and Metallica were super-cool guys and really supportive, but seeing it all on that scale, it was just like, ‘This isn’t for me.’ If that’s the epitome of success in a rock band, it just seemed unrewarding.”Kyuss opened for Metallica on their 1993 ‘Nowhere Else To Roam’ tour, and Bjork has also reminisced about that period.
