But it's not.

I'm not gonna go through my liner notes right now but Garcia was in no way a big contributer to the band. Sure he sang but Homme and Bjork actually wrote pretty much everything.

I have to say after reading further comments Homme has a pretty shitty viewpoint on the whole thing(basically he's glad people never really got into Kyuss when they were around)

This is why I posted Kyuss in the "bands you wish never reunited" thread a few weeks ago. In the end of all this one side (Bjork and Garcia or Homme and Reeder) is going to come out looking like total jerks and Kyuss will be gone and remembered as a band that tried to get back together but broke up again because the members started suing each other. I can only imagine that Homme's side is going to win because let's face it; he's the huge rock-star and can afford the lawyers. Who knows, maybe he deserves to win. But if this is the end to see them go out this way is just...lame.

So, will Oliveri & Homme be in one band again?

I'm guessing they're not gonna give that a third shot.

KYUSS LIVES! – featuring original KYUSS members John Garcia, Nick Oliveri and Brant Bjork along with guitarist Bruno Fevery – has issued a statement in response to the lawsuit filed by former band member Josh Homme over the use of the KYUSS name.

“We are both shocked and saddened that our friend and one time band mate has chosen to file a lawsuit against us, especially after having positive discussions since our reformation,” said John Garcia and Brant Bjork. ”We look forward to resolving this private matter behind closed doors and moving forward with work on our new album and connecting with our amazing, loyal fans.”
