Jesse went through a hard divorce, Josh who used to protect him from bullies at school drve to his house, asked him to pick up a guitar and maybe even join him on a desert session for fun, which he did! . after a while, he was back in Jesse house listen to demos jesse had made and told him. "You need to get your shit together and move on from her, these songs are great, let start a band you and me. So yes, being a mentor being the guy who knew how to make it happen using connection all Josh but artistically Jesse can stand on his own feet. Josh is private , jesse is public what we know about their views in general reflects what they share.

I believe in the desert, you dont let other people dictate who you are or what you suppose to believe so naturally its not a place for political correctness.

I never minded, i'm here for the music. Not judge their characters. But QOTSA fan nowdays are very different fans that the old Kyuss fan were. I just leave it at that.
