    One of the greatest and most criminally underrated bands of all time. Everything they have ever done and continue to do is genius.

    I read an article one time entitled " In a perfect world, King's X would be bigger than U2." Loved these guys from the moment I heard the song King way back in the 80s. They never got the respect or the attention they deserve. They are truly one of the greatest pure rock bands of all time.

    Hard to believe Dug is 70. Great bassist & singer.

    King's X is a seriously solid band. They were always described as a "musicians band", meaning they were a group that other musicians would listen to.

    People were not ready for King's X when they came out. Their biggest commercial hit sounded little like this one, unsurprisingly. They are terrific though, aren't they?

    Welcome to the First Church of Rock'n'roll! Seriously, this song, after more than 30 years, still gives me the chills. The whole southern church thing was not my personal experience but it just sweeps me away and what vibes this song gives! Never ceases to amaze me.
    Never really watched the video before, but good work in its own right.

    Kings X is amazing and never talked about enough. I'm very glad to see them make an appearance on the channel - there is way more to be discovered from them.

    You just got bit by the King's X bug. There's no way to pigeon hole them into any category because they change so much while still keeping their feel. The absolute most under rated band out there. They've been my favorite band since the late 80s.

    Thank you for being one of the first reactors I’ve seen check out King’s X ... they are one of the bands that has influenced tons of other musicians. The rest of the “Gretchen Goes To Nebraska” LP is absolutely worth checking out, as is 1994’s “Dogman” and more recently, “Ogre Tones” and “XV.”

    I have been listening to these guys since the early 80s. Ty Tabor is still very innovative and still recording. Dug has great vocals and the drummer is always tic tock rock. Thanks for posting this.

    I love it! I've been a fan of king's x since the '80s. They're a very special group of guys and badass musicians. They always inspired me and I feel their music in my bones! Thank you for your video and Welcome to the club.

    Excellent choice, Sir! Hugest sound ever for just 3 dudes.
    King's X is a band that has an interesting range of music, performed with the highest levels of musicianship--and continues to grow artistically, unafraid of pushing some boundaries. Early years had some lyrical focus on their spiritual struggles, which got the band incorrectly labeled as a 'Christian' band (a label they vehemently reject..)
    You'll have a hard time choosing the next tune (and then pacing yourself after that,) But, if I was going to give you 5 tunes to inadequately explore the range these guys offer through the years, while still leaving the better known tunes for you, I'd recommend:
    'Shoes' (from "Dogman")
    'Julie' (from "XV")
    "The World Around Me" (from the self-titled 4th album)
    "Bebop" (from 'Ogre Tones')
    "She's Gone Away" (from "Please Come Home, Mr. Bulbous")
    Enjoy!

  • @HollowGolem
    @HollowGolem 3 роки тому +5

    These guys came out in the '80s, and were fusing things like metal, gospel, and progressive rock. Super influential on the later grunge scene of the 90s, but largely forgotten somehow.
    _Gretchen goes to Nebraska_ and _Dogman_ are my two favorite albums by them, and both are very different from each other.
    One thing that kind of hurt them is that people read into their songs and basically identified them as a "CHristian rock band," a label they themselves didn't even really like that much. Then, later, Dug (the bassisst and lead singer) came out as gay, and all those evangelicals who thought they were a Christian band got really mad.

  • @Easy_Skanking
    @Easy_Skanking 3 роки тому +2

    More King's X please! How about "We Were Born to be Loved"?
    King's X has been my favorite band since I heard "Over My Head" on the radio show Metal Shop in 1989. Ty, Jerry and dUg have the most amazing band chemistry and sound. I'm looking forward to more.

    first saw this video on mtv, or vh1, went and bought the only kings x album in the store, which was "out of the silent planet", listened to it thru many times before i realized "over my head" wasn't even on it, so i had to go get "Gretchen..." too. Both are still at the top of my fav records.

  • @docgonzales
    @docgonzales 3 роки тому +1

    I'm a first 3 albums guy and this band are one of them. Set the grunge sound template with the drop d tuning and odd riff metres, the crosby stills and nash harmonies meets gospel preacher or lennon ( depending on whose lead voc) was unique in hard rock ( or anywhere in the late '80's, strictly ohhs and ahhs ) thats probably why they didnt catch on.

    Kings X is one of my top 3 GOAT! So criminally underrated, sadly over-looked as they came about at the end of hair metal and the beginning of the Grunge movement...and still never fit comfortably in either.
    They are the direction metal should have taken.
    Kings X remain unique amongst metal bands. Cannot wait for the new album!!!!!
