I'll have to second this.  I'm a very recent convert because they're one of
the few heavy rock bands going at the moment who actually groove.  I find
this to be of immense importance.

Apparently John Garcia is working as a Dental Assistant at the minute.
Funny old world.
What about The Masters of Reality, Kyuss/QotSA producer Chris Goss' band?  I
bought their 1st LP when it was released and have loved it ever since -
1999's Welcome to the Western Lodge was also fanastic.  The other two studio
albums disappointed me a little - maybe the live CDs will be better.
