I heard it was pronounced "Chaos". Does anyone else know?--Richy 17:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Yepp, I think I know. Found this explanation: "Kyuss is [this] thingee from the old D&D game. There are monsters in a really old book called Deities and Demigods called the Sons of Kyuss (hence the name of the first album/single). The monster, originally from the Newhon Tales by Fritz Leiber, was removed from later versions of the book, Legends and Lore, due to copyright shit. I originally picked up Blues because I thought the name was cool and remembered it from my long ago days playin' the game. [...] Oh, and the way you pronounce it is "chi-uss" (the "chi" is hard as in "kite" or, "kai")." stonerrock.com Hth.. Johnnyw 11:09, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Yep. As proof, they are introduced with that pronounciation at the start of their "Muchas Gracias" compilation record. Ceeker 11:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] soad = stoner?

My mate told me that System Of A Down were the REAL Stoner Rock Band...I almost punched him in the jaw...people who don't know their music, but think they do are arseholes. J —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.49.25.67 (talk • contribs) .

how the hell did he come up with that?? he ain't got a clue... poor fellow ;) --Johnnyw talk

Kyuss were the only true stoner rock band. Too bad people are too ignorant to listen to music if it isn't "mainstream".—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.86.207.138 (talk • contribs) .

Speaking of ignorance, saying there is only one "true" stoner band is kinda sad, too, isn't it? There are quite a few good bands out there, who are not just Kyuss clones _and_ worthwhile listening to. --Johnnyw talk 14:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

A one-band Genre would be lonely indeed. --Morbid-o 16:52, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

This seems to be what is suggested by the stonerrock Wiki page though. Perhaps some decent articles on other Palm Desert bands would help --*smb 20:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
