Josh Homme starts a fight over a bad name

Josh Homme has launched a lawsuit to try and stop the members of a band he no longer wishes to be in trading under that band's name.

NME.com explains:

Homme was the original guitarist in Kyuss until their split in 1995, but did not take part in the band's reunion tour last year. Garcia had previously claimed that he and Bjork were planning on making another studio album under the Kyuss Lives! moniker, but Antiquiet now reports that they face legal action from Home and Reeder.

It's not entirely clear why Homme is making such a fuss - presumably any fan of Kyuss would know that they're a band with a different line-up; anyone who isn't a fan is, frankly, unlikely to give a hoot in either direction.
