"Green Machine" is a massive, riff-driven stomper written by drummer Brant Bjork, featuring John Garcia's raw, soulful vocals soaring over Josh Homme's crushing, down-tuned guitar grooves and a thunderous rhythm section. It became a cornerstone of stoner rock, helping define the genre's heavy, psychedelic desert sound and influencing countless bands with its irresistible groove and heavy-yet-groovy vibe that still hits hard decades later.
For the FNGs...Here's the G2...
Song: "Green Machine"
Band/Artist: Kyuss
Album: Blues for the Red Sun
Label: Dali
Date of Release: Tuesday, 30 June 1992
Format: Album track (single in 1993)
Kyuss formed in 1987 in Palm Desert, California, originally as Katzenjammer and then Sons of Kyuss, emerging from the desert rock scene. They started with raw punk and metal influences, self-releasing an EP before shortening their name and signing to Dali Records. Early albums like Wretch showed promise, but it was producer Chris Goss who helped capture their live power on Blues for the Red Sun. The band drew from Black Sabbath's heaviness, punk energy (like Black Flag), and psychedelic/blues elements, creating a unique, groove-heavy sound often played at high volumes in the desert. Core members on "Green Machine" include John Garcia (vocals), Josh Homme (guitar), Nick Oliveri (bass), and Brant Bjork (drums).
Kyuss released landmark albums like Blues for the Red Sun (1992), Welcome to Sky Valley (1994), and ...And the Circus Leaves Town (1995) before disbanding in 1995 due to lineup changes and tensions. Hits and fan favorites include "Green Machine," "Demon Cleaner," and "Thumb." They're widely regarded as pioneers of stoner rock/desert rock, inspiring generations of bands (from Queens of the Stone Age—formed by Homme—to Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, and beyond) with their heavy riffs, hypnotic grooves, and authentic vibe. Their cult status grew over time, cementing them as one of the most influential underground rock acts ever.

21 de diciembre de 1953. Un día como hoy nació Bobby Liebling, voz, rostro y espíritu indomable de Pentagram. Figura clave en la historia del doom metal, Liebling encarna el lado más crudo, oscuro y autodestructivo del género. Su vida, marcada por excesos, caídas y resurrecciones, es inseparable de la música que ayudó a forjar: riffs pesados, letras sombrías y una honestidad brutal que convirtió a Pentagram en una banda de culto absoluto. Además, es un memazo.
