Kyuss plays in C standard tuning but I tabbed this out in E standard. Im pretty sure this
is all right.
Also, turn the lows way up and the highs down to get the right kind of sound.
^ = Hammer On/Pull Off
/ = Slide Up
= Slide down
() = Optional note

**These breakdowns you can play as they are shown or you can play the corresponding
notes in time with kick drum. Both ways sound fine. Personal preference comes into play.**

| Could this have anything to do with some jesus feelings? maby his Demons are his 'human' cravings for affection, Physical expression and to commit sin, considering he was both divine and mundane. While at the same time he had come to unite God's people, and rid the world of 'false' gods, or Demons. he sees himself as a 'Demon Cleaner', warning of the false promises they give you: ''Impostors from the show, They'll try to trick you into, Normal treatment,'' ''Oh don't you listen to them say, Shush them all away'' The lyrics sort of reflect his message of ''I am the way, al those who believe will never die'' 'I am the demon cleaner, Madman saver,' Brill song, whatever it means. Far be it from me to understand the mind of a genius | |

| it's definitively my favorite kyuss song, it kicks ass. ah and i really dont think kyuss would write a song about jesus , it's just not they're style, it's probably just about weed like every other stoner rock song | |

| Kyuss is a great, relatively underground band (although they arent together anymore). i reccomend getting a lot of their music... you really get into it.. they use heavy guitar distortion with very cool riffs and drumming. 2 thumbs up. | |

| Cant you people look beyond your nose? Just because Kyuss is labeled a "Stoner Rock" band doesn't mean all they write about is Pot. In my opinion, "stoner" is used in this sense as relating more to an attitude than drugs... Stoners are typically laid-back, bordering on apathetic, people; fun loving but slow paced; and anything from rejecting common society to downright anarchistic. I can't help but get the feeling some of the posters here are straight from Wikipedia (perhaps after hearing Tool's live cover with Scott Rheeder). I prefer (and a quick google will show you Josh Homme does, too) the term "Desert Rock". To me that metaphoricalizes the whole sound, the haze, the fuzz, the sludge, the late afternoons abusing one's substance of choice (and yes the clouds of bong-smoke), being away from the masses and amongst friends, playing music for the sake of music to whomever chooses to listen. In fact most of the stoners that I know and love (and join) aren't even really into this music. On to the song: I would say its about religious folk that claim you're heathen when in fact your heresy is merely a by-product of their own faith. They tell you you're a madman, demon-possessed, going to hell; and they're here to save you. I think the verses are spoken from the point of view of someone that's been taken in by this, and he feels that he needs to go see the demon cleaner to be healed. Also about perhaps the priests or holy men that end up doing it for their own glory, "I'm the only way"... | |
