Other fans of the album include Dave Grohl and Metallica. Melissa Auf der Maur has said that she attempted to "knock-off" Blues for the Red Sun for her single " Followed the Waves", to the point that she recruited the band's rhythm section to play on the track and Chris Goss to produce.

Martin Popoff similarly credits the band with the creation of a "certain core sample" of stoner rock, in part due to an "uncompromising bassquake" that was composed of more than "tar-pitted Sabbath riffs". Many consider Blues for the Red Sun "the template for 21st-century bands that have followed in the pioneering wake of Kyuss". Daniel Bukszpan, the author of The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal, has written that the album has influenced "countless" bands. Musical style and influence īlues for the Red Sun incorporates stoner rock and desert rock, and has been compared to such acts as Black Sabbath, Hawkwind, Blue Cheer, and Alice in Chains.
