In a statement, Homme and Reeder said: “It sucks. To believe we went to a meeting in January solely to assist them with their request to continue Kyuss Lives! Only to find out whilst they looked us in the eye, Kyuss Lives! management and band had filed federal documents in 2011 in an attempt to steal the name Kyuss. What a needless mess.”

And you can picture as soon as 1 or two or any of us had been to display up, it would really rapidly be degraded into some thing that I don’t believe his immediate loved ones would want to offer with.”
Jones died of a heart attack on February 29 in Florida. He was lead singer with the “manufactured” 60s band, whose hits incorporated Daydream Believer, Final Train To Clarksville and I’m A Believer. The reunited group last toured in 2011, without authentic member Mike Nesmith.
Dolenz also additional that any additional function as The Monkess was now in doubt: ”We’ve had a type of unspoken, I guess, agreement more than the many years that if it’s just two of us finding collectively we in no way named it the Monkees. I can see us obtaining together to do a memorial concert, of program, but correct now I cannot envision anything else happening without having the Manchester Cowboy.”
