John Garcia To Perform Entire Kyuss Songs Set At Roadburn

John Garcia (Kyuss, Unida, Hermano) will perform an entire set of Kyuss songs at this year's Roadburn festival, which will be held at the 013 venue and Midi Theatre in Tilburg, Holland from Thursday, April 15 through Sunday, April 18, 2010.

The incredible emotional content of Kyuss is due in large part to the vocals of Garcia. Deeply rooted in blues and baked solid by the searing desert sun, his powerful contributions to the classic Kyuss records "Blues for the Red Sun", "Kyuss" (a.k.a. "Sky Valley") and "Circus Leaves Town" cast the mold for a legion of imitators.

Roadburn festival 2010, including Tom Gabriel Warrior's Only Death Is Real, a Goatsnake reunion, Candlemass 25th-anniversary show and Enslaved as "artists in residence," will run for three days. There will be an additional afterburner event on Sunday, April 18, 2010.

Candlemass will perform its classic album, "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus", in its entirety, with Johan Längquist (who sang on the original LP) on vocals. There will be a special part of the set that will incorporate new singer Robert Lowe as well.

Oh man, a Kyuss reunion at this point in Josh Homme's career would be all sorts of win.

[LifesSweetDrug]

:O :O :O

This is best news of the last decade, no joke.

I hope Homme and the other guys are in this, if so I am going!

[Hungry_Hameds]

er... reunion? where does it say there's gonna be a reunion? While Garcia performing Kyuss songs on his own is great, it's not a reunion, it's just... just Garcia performing songs on his own!!

[SuicidalFreak]

Yeah, just because he's performing Kyuss songs doesn't mean it's a reunion of the band.

[uk.mace]

Very poor choice of titling for this article.

[Pobre_Bob]

UG needs to title articles a little better.

But if a Kyuss reunion WAS in the works, that would be awesome.

[-Collapse-]

One Guy != Reunion.

[FrothingLunatic]

lol, silly UG titles

[euan_soad]

Full reunion nao pl0x

[ptleruuh]

Worst part is that the festival has been sold out for a while too, so there's really no news value here...

[Apejack Cuba]

"John Garcia (Kyuss, Unida, Hermano) will perform an entire set of Kyuss songs at next year's Roadburn festival"

Not a Kyuss reunion, UG. Seriously, I know you guys are based in Russia, but hire people who are good enough with English to make your news titles be actually, you know, accurate.

[Sabscope]

Ultimate Guitar: This headline is not just inaccurate, as others have been, it is a lie.
Sort this out - you don't find this sort of shit in magazines (good ones, anyway), and you should be aiming for the same degree of quility of writing. A Kyuss reunion would involve members of Kyuss coming together to perform Kyuss songs, under the name Kyuss. This article says the singer is going to perform some old songs. Please leave the lies and hyperbole to the tabloids, and report some actual guitar-related news, as and when you get some.

[lateraluspiral]

disssssaaaaapppppoint

i miss kyuss

[Colohue]

checked

[Geormajesty]

I got so excited when I read the headline. What a disappointment the article turned out to be.

[metallica4life_]

come on, I was about to cry in joy after seeing both Soundgarden and Kyuss announce a reunion...

But nah, UG has to f-ck with us all by putting false headlines...

[Johnny Quest]

013 in tilburg is near my city, maybe i'll go there

[Pepperommi]

Roadburn is going to be so epic this year as it always is. Goatsnake reunion, john garcia, shrinebuilder...my god i wish i could be there

[The_Casinator]

I'm so going to roadburn this year.

[[x]Huffy[x]]

What the hell, UG?

No real Kyuss reunion?

I am disappoint.

[13579ed]

I don't know if Josh and Nick O. would ever get back together. They had a pretty bad falling out didn't they?

[monkey_dancer]

Aww come on!! Don't write such horribly misleading headlines.

They could get Scott Reeder.

[Cafas]

Damn, I REALLY want to go to Roadburn this year, but MDF won out on account of Gorguts and Autopsy...and America being closer.

Also, I can't believe Goatsnake are getting back together. Fuck yeah.

Medium density fibreboard?

Who are Kyuss anyway? I know they're from the early 90's and make.. slowy songs

[MrSir4]

D*** YOU UG FOR FOOLING ME INTO THINKING A SOUNDGARDEN AND KYUSS REUNION WOULD BE HAPPENING IN THE SAME YEAR!! NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!.....Please pardon the caps but 5 seconds ago I thought this would finally be the year that saved music. That two of the best bands of the 90's (in my opinion) would tell today's music "step aside and let us show you how it's done".....Those five seconds of ignorance were the most blissful moments of my life....Then again Josh Homme made it pretty clear that it was not going to happen in a recent interview, plus he is goin strong with Them Crooked Vultures

On a more positive note I am pretty stoked for the Soundgarden reunion. I can not wait to hear it, they are one of my favorite bands

[Samdroid]

There is no Kyuss without Josh Homme.

Don't get me wrong, I want Scott Reeder and Brant Bjork in on this just as much, but tell me that Homme's playing style and tone didn't make those albums.

[Spaz91]

Got my goddamn hopes up >

[Phill-Rock]

I doubt Homme would be happy with this, he says all the time that a reunion would detract from all the good they did during the original run...

Still would like to see it, and the Candlemass set.

[shwilly]

I understand why you guys are disappointed...

However, I'm still thrilled and that's not just because of the Soundgarden reunion but because I happen to live in Holland so there's a smaaaaall chance I could make that gig. I mean, it did sell out within 30 minutes of tickets going on sale, but if I do manage to come across someone offering his/her ticket: I'm in (tho it'd probably leave me broke > they went on sale for €150 and'll probably end up costing me a lot more

And UG, seriously: I think we all learned how to deal with your misleading headlines but placing this one... and under an article about a GENUINE Soundgarden reunion??? Not cool...

[777Corey]

Its not a reunion, as many people have already said, and as much as I'd love that, Josh Homme has said so many times he wont do a reunion

[Wes 5]

Probably said above but I think it was Reeder who said any of them would be up for a reunion, but Josh had to kill that statement by saying he wouldn't.

[Andragon]

OMG I'm shitting my pants! SG and Kyuss?! late 80s/early 90s revolution, here I come!!!
2010 is already looking great.

[highspirit]

who the hell is kyuss

[noodles_wazaman]

who cares, i hope kyuss never reform!!!

and i love the band, but a reunion would only undermine their legacy.

[DiabolusnMusica]

reunion wtf? it only says garcia is playing kyuss songs, what about the other guys??

[aig91]

Checked

[pbiggie]

I wish I lived in holland.

[nandezfranchise]

I would love to see a Kyuss reunion show.
This article was very misleading. Don't toy with our emotions UG.

[herrotim]

ha my name is john garcia!!
finally a famous person with my name

[sonoflife]

biggest tease everrrrr. i was just about to throw a freaking party. i agree though, true reunions are dangerous.

[zAg1619]

Horrible title for the article. Nothing of what I read showed that there would be an actual reunion in the works. Cmon UG, please work on this, you get a lot of peoples hopes up, and then just kick them in the nads when they get to read the article.

[Majigitajog]

Didn't read any comments above. Don't need to. Ultimate-Guitar sucks for titles, and it's on purpose. They've done it countless times. A Kyuss reunion wouldn't be right. That was the whole point of the band in the first place, it happened then. It can't happen now... Because it happened then.

lol read the article more closely...

[Quinlan]

There aren't enough emoticons for how this article makes me feel right now. >

[trent_slatter]

Ultimate Guitar... where journalism goes to die.

Headline is completely misleading. There's nothing at all to suggest a Kyuss reunion.

Where the hell would Josh find time to be a part of it anyway?

[jthm_guitarist]

AWWWWW KYUSS AND CANDLEMASS?

RADICAL!

Josh Homme is whatever but John Garcia is RAD.

[Santeria420]

anyway, its bad enough that none of y'all know how to write like journalists, but to tell a straight up obvious lie? whats even the purpose? just put kyuss in the title and people will read it, you don't need to sensationalize it with blatant lies about a reunion. your logic is not logical...

[Azmo83]

Guys, read this (awesome) 2008 Kyuss interview, and know that its never gonna happen:
http://forum.rekordsrekords.com/forum/index.php?sho wtopic=56818

Its nice Kyuss songs are sometimes performed by ex members nowadays but a reunion would kind of ruin the legacy imo..

I wonder if brant bjork is in on this, as he's performing at roadburn aswell.

[Cafas]

MDF is the Maryland Deathfest. Reunited Gorguts, Autopsy, plus Asphyx, Incantation, Pentagram and Sodom proved to be more tempting.

[ZeGuitarist]

Checked. The title is indeed very misleading. It's been brought to the attention of the management, hopefully they'll fix it soon.

[tsunami bomb]

bahhhh!!!

[jimmy/jimi]

I WANT KYUSSSSS

[Sonny_sam]

If this ever happened, I don't care where - I would be going. At least this means there's some blood still pumping in the Kyuss veins, even if it is just through John Garcia.

[ibanez77]

YES !

I got my hopes up. damn.

[we_built_a_tree]

Oh man. Just John, that's disappointing, especially since I've always had the feeling that at least on Sky Valley, all four of them were pretty much equally important.

[ordinary_story]

What is this? April the 1st?

[Rænduz]

Good thing this reunion is BS, imo.

Not sure if Homme'd be able to be in that many bands at once.

I'd hate to see him drop QotSA or TCV over Kyuss, eventhough I like Kyuss, for the most part.

[Tyler Durden]

This has nothing to do with a reunion - COMMON UG, you are turning into Fox News here....get it right or dont post it

[JustLikeMe]

The title is fixed

[crozbomb]

brant bjork has said hes playin drums at this so josh may appear
