In 1987, when he was 14 years old, Homme formed a punk rock-influenced heavy metal band with schoolmates John Garcia and Brant Bjork in Palm Desert called Katzenjammer; he was the band’s guitarist. After changing their name a few times, first to Sons of Kyuss (they released an EP of the same name), they finally shortened it to Kyuss. The band garnered a cult following by the early 1990s, often driving for hours to isolated locations in the desert and plugging into generators to perform. These events, known as “generator parties”, became urban legend among rock subculture. The band became both famous for their heavy, down tuned, groove oriented music, and infamous for their backstage fights with local LA bands when they traveled into town to play gigs. This soon brought the attention of Chris Goss, who became the band’s mentor, helping the band sign to a label and eventually producing them exclusively in an effort to preserve their sound. Due to Homme being younger than 18 at the time of the band’s signing, his parents signed the contract on his behalf. Kyuss released four albums (Wretch, Blues for the Red Sun, Welcome to Sky Valley, and …And the Circus Leaves Town), of which the final three Goss-produced efforts are often cited as cornerstones to the development of the stoner rock genre in the 1990s. Kyuss partially reformed in 2010 under the name Vista Chino, but Homme opted out of the reunion.
Homme has over 20 tattoos. On his knuckles, he has his grandparents’ nicknames (“Cam” for “Camille” on the left and “Cap” on the right) with hearts and his two sons’ names (“ORH” for “Orrin Ryder Homme” and “Wolf”). He has his daughter’s name, also Camille, tattooed over his heart. His left arm has a switchblade with “Stay Sharp” underneath, while his inner right arm has a straight-edge razor with “Born to Win” inscribed; underneath, his nickname, “Baby Duck”, is a shared tattoo with his Eagles of Death Metal bandmate Jesse Hughes, who has his nickname “Boots Electric” in the same location. Homme also shares a tattoo that says “Freitag 4:15” with former Queens of the Stone Age bandmates Nick Oliveri and Mark Lanegan and their sound engineer Hutch, commemorating their “worst show ever” at the Rock Am Ring Festival in Germany on Friday, June 1, 2001, at 4:15 pm. All were tattooed on their ribs so that it would hurt the most and serve as a reminder. Homme and Dalle share a small “TCB” logo, which stands for “Taking Care of Business”, as made famous by Elvis Presley.
