Josh Homme Hints at Possible Kyuss Reunion: “It’s Possible”

Could a Kyuss reunion be on the horizon? While there’s no official confirmation yet, former guitarist Josh Homme recently opened up about the possibility during a conversation with Kyuss World founder Nathan Lawver. According to Homme, a reunion might happen—not for fame or profit, but to offer closure and properly honor the band’s legacy.

“I’m not sure,” Homme said. “Kyuss was such a tight, perfect little unit. It ended in a way that made sense. Even when Kyuss Lives! happened, I supported it at first. But certain things went sideways, and I think people deserve to understand how and why.”

Homme added that he doesn’t hold any grudges and sees value in moving forward: “There’s no point in carrying negativity. I’m not bitter about anyone involved. So, yeah—it’s possible.”

Kyuss, often cited as pioneers of stoner rock, featured Josh Homme, vocal powerhouse John Garcia, bassists Nick Oliveri and Scott Reeder, and drummer Brant Bjork. The band never officially reunited, although Garcia, Oliveri, and Bjork briefly revived the spirit of Kyuss in 2010 under the name Kyuss Lives! before legal disputes with Homme forced a rebrand to Vista Chino. That group disbanded in 2014.

In 2021, Bjork revealed that he had tried reaching out to Homme about a potential reunion, but never received a response. This was particularly surprising since Homme had expressed openness to the idea in a 2020 interview.

“I wasn’t necessarily trying to reform the band,” Bjork said in 2021, “but I wanted to reconnect and maybe explore what was possible. At first, it seemed like things were heading that way, but it fell through.”

Homme’s comments from 2020 reflected a sense of betrayal and disappointment over how things unfolded with Kyuss Lives!: “They didn’t need my blessing to play Kyuss music, but I gave it anyway. I wanted them to succeed. But when it turned into a power grab, it just felt wrong. Lawsuits don’t end well—everyone loses. The fans lose.”

Reflecting further, Homme said he’s thought about ways to bring Kyuss to a fitting close: “Sometimes I think the only way to fix the damage is to play again—to restore what was broken. I’ve considered doing something meaningful, maybe a show where all the proceeds go to charity. Something honest, stripped of ego, that gives back to the fans and finishes the story the right way.”

Though nothing is official, Homme’s recent remarks suggest that the door isn’t entirely closed. For longtime fans of Kyuss, that sliver of hope might be enough—for now.
