“Josh Homme said, ‘Do you want to come over?’ I was like, ‘So, you want to do Kyuss, but no John Garcia?' I’m good.’ I was bitter, I guess": Scott Reeder on the last days of Kyuss, QOTSA and what he told James Hetfield after that Metallica audition

Scott Reeder.

Scott Reeder found his early days with Kyuss to be a mixed blessing. “I toured with those guys before Blues for the Red Sun was released; I was on that first tour through the States,” he tells Bass Player.

“There were some good shows,” he continues, “but you’d be playing at a sports bar next to the cut-out of some football player! It was depressing after touring Europe with The Obsessed – but I believed in the band. I knew that if we kept at it, we were going to do something.”
