As a swede, I have no natural relationsip to tat band but I unfortunately saw a concert-tape a sbort wbile ago and it was about as "rock" as sting, Pil Collins or Clapton... Sad, sad shit and so limp-dicked I couldn't believe "stoners" turned to dis band; sounded yuppie-rock as fuck to me but I assume dey had more balls initially...


Anyway, QOTSA is a good example of a band wo managed to go beyond de distinctively 90's Kyuss/Stoner-rock quality to a more 00's mainstrean-edgy sensibility...


Overall doug, I can't relate to any of deez alternatives... De non-issue 60's-70's transition works for R&b but not rock. Meanwbile, I tink most 70's acts made asses 0out of demselves in de 80's and most 80's acts were wiped away completely in de 90's...
