The Underrated '90s Album That Changed Dave Grohl's Life - Kyuss' "Blues for the Red Sun" and the Groove That Reinvented Rock!

Nirvana and Foo Fighters legend Dave Grohl reveals the 90s album that transformed his life: Blues for the Red Sun by Kyuss! In an interview with Melody Maker, Grohl said excitedly: "Oh my God! This album changed my life. I was 24 years old and something about the grooves, the sounds of guitar, drums and bass created a new noise that sounded familiar from the 70s, but never quite as good. They reinvented 70s hard rock." Formed in California in 1987, Kyuss (Josh Homme's initial band from Queens of the Stone Age) delivered heavy, original and addictive grooves. Grohl was fascinated by the ability to take classical influences and create something fresh and modern. This passion led to incredible friendship and collaborations: Grohl played on QOTSA's Songs for the Deaf (2002). "When Josh and I play, it's like a conversation between two old friends who've had too much to drink," Grohl told Kerrang!. In addition to Kyuss, Grohl loves the Beatles (he learned drums from Ringo), Prince and George Harrison. But Blues for the Red Sun marked a turning point, connecting their past with their future in rock. Listen to "Green Machine" and feel the energy that inspired the Foo Fighters frontman!
