I worked for Kings X in late 2005 on tour and they are a down to earth people and incredible musicians. Spent alot of time on the bus talking with Ty. Best time of my life.
That is cool Chris Young! Thanks for listening 💥🎶🔥
He'll yeah bro ( or Heaven yeah)
That's just too kool 😎 bro!! The few times I've met these guys they've always been humble, friendly and just pure musical genius to the end. Must be some fond memories..👍💯
Do you know what amps he was using back then? I saw them with my dad around 1998, I was around 16 and had been playing guitar for 4 years and all I could think about is how amazing his guitar tone was.
@@cardbored_ he used a bunch of different gear back then…. I remember between the 90’s and early 2000’s, he had a POD Pro, he had a Dual Rec that was a rack mount / 2 channel version, and for awhile he used the Egnator M4 preamp. That’s definitely not all of it, but there ya go.
One day in 1988, I walked to the record store with the money I saved from mowing lawns. I bought Out of the Silent Planet because the cover looked cool. I put the record on the turntable and turned it up loud. What I heard was like nothing I heard before. I’ve been a close fan ever since and have been fortunate enough to see them three times. This is where I discovered drop d. I spent countless hours deciphering Ty’s guitar parts. King’s X, along with Rush, elevated my playing and gave me something to strive for. Musically and lyrically King’s X is a deep, deep well that has kept me curious and waiting on the edge of my seat for more.
Very cool, thanks for sharing that, @Axolotl12345 🙌🏻 💥 🎉
Dude, you are one hell of a good storyteller.
For those of you with kids and want to explain how life is unfair, tell your kids about Kings x. This band is super praised by popular bands and still with all the unbelievable talent in Kings x has they are not as popular as bands with little talent. Kings x made me want to be a musician and changed my life for the better. I will love them until the day I die!!
Truth!
Words to express how badly this power trio was missed by the masses don’t exist. I suppose they were just too good for common folks. I saw them in Worcester, MA around 2003, opened for Ronnie James Dio. That was a stellar night.
Awesome man!!
King's X is one of the best bands ever. They have so many songs that are fabulous. They are a mix of Metallica and The Beatles. There is not another band that is as unique as King's X
@@tubehound69 Well said. Now if you don't already have their new album go buy it and make the band some money please. its an awesome album in my opinion and I have every album Kings x ever put out.
King's X is one of those bands that if a member leaves then it's automatically a different group. Most bands usually have that one member who's the heart and soul of the band. But with King's X each member is required for the heart.
AMEN! Kinda like Rush, the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.
Love the thumbnail!😎
Good example of one member being heart and soul is Queensryche when DeGarmo left. Totally downgraded their music to the point of being bland.
Often the case with three piece bands of longevity. If a three piece band is around for long enough there is no room for dead weight by default.
Jim Martin!
Yep! Their talent is off the charts. You can't just replace that.
My favorite band of all time. Kings X is the most underrated band ever. Can't wait to hear the new album, Ty. You guys rock.
I like this because you know the meaning of the word underrated. Kings X should be so much bigger. I saw a comment earlier this week that said Brian May is underrated and I'm like, "What?!?!"
Senator Jaiz
Brian May is under rated -
when you consider the lexicon of British nobleman such as
King Arthur and William the conqueror 🙂
I agree!
They're my favorite live band for sure!
@@SenatorJaiz I would say that May is the most overrated guitarist ever.
The Red-Light District in Sydney Australia called "Kings-Cross"...
The street signage is written "KING'S" in all Cap's with a big letter "X" under it....
Great interview. Ty Tabor is definitely one of the best guitarists around. Saw kings x several times and those guys are nothing but great people and great musicians. Gretchen Goes to Nebraska is one of the best albums of all time! A masterpiece!
I’ve seen these guys so many times in Chicago and Milwaukee. They always put on an amazing and memorable show. Afterwards, they’re so gracious and patient with their fans by hanging out and signing autographs.
I love Ty...humble guy, and killer musician/songwriter. Can't wait for new material!
Yes, I agree Darren Van Frankenstein - thanks for listening!
Ty has been one of my favorite players for decades, and King's X one of my favorite bands of all time.Ty is what I'd call a complete guitarist. He's a musician first and foremost, and a guitarist second. This is why he is so incredibly musical. He's got good ears and he's not imitating other players. He can take the music where it needs to go.
Ty nailed it on the question about how he has changed. My grandfather used to tell me "The more you learn, the more you find out how much you don't know".
So, so true! Glad you enjoyed the interview @johnselensky8314, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
When Ty talked about The Producers experience,it reminded me of one of my all time favorite concert tour experiences ever. KingsX opened for the Scorpions in Phoenix…we went just to watch KingsX! We left to go around back of the Collisium to hopefully meet our heroes, and Monty from the Galactic Cowboys saw us when he was leaving,and gave us his 2 back stage passes. We got to meet KingsX and stand with them next to the stage as the Scorpions started their show! I will never forget that moment! Ty,Dug and Jerry were so down to earth! If you see this comment Ty….i want to say thanks for being so gracious! Still have the signed Dogman album cover on the wall of my drum room….God Bless😎🤘
Very cool, thanks for sharing that, @chriszilar3657 🙌🏻 💥 🎉
The scorpions live blew my brains completely out of my head.
They were somehow tighter and more radical than the album at the same time.
I was working for clear channel at the coral sky amphitheatre in West Palm Beach FL, and there was a lightning storm on the horizon at sundown as a backdrop. I can't even explain it.
What an interview!!!! King's X is my pet band and have pic's with them from the last 23 years! The most humble beautiful people around!
Cool @dominiquez5643 Glad you liked this and thanks for listening! 👂 🎶 🎸
Ty his my guitar guru... He’s a wonderful person.
I love that saying ,“Smart people realize how little they know, and stupid people think they know it all.”
Thanks Ana's Margarita Salt, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
I tell my daughters and son-in-laws that same thing. However, I say "Wise people realize how little they know and Immature people think they know it all". Cause I think it's more about humility and pride than intellect. But intelligence def plays a part too.
Btw, I also remind them that even a 2 year old thinks he knows it all & doesn't want to listen to anyone and until a person grows out of that, wiser people will always see them as somewhat immature. Same goes for impatience, drama, defensiveness, vanity materialism, etc. It all just immaturity.
A very insightful statement. Seems almost obscenely obvious. but sadly lost on or ignored by so many. As humans we have so infinite much still to learn.
King's X were the true Godfathers of grunge ... open tunings ... incredible atmospheres and tone, one of the best bands ever.
Correction…(My apologies in advance) not “open tunings” they use drop tunings where the 6th (E) and 4th (D) string of the guitar are tuned an octave apart. Commonly known as “Dropped D” when tuned to concert (A440) pitch. However, King’s X and other grunge/metal bands often tune down from A440 a half-step, whole step, even a minor third (with heavier strings and setup adjustment). A common King’s X tuning is C, G, C (octave), F, A, C. This is dropped D down a whole step. Most common “as low
As you go” tuning with standard
Instruments. Some guitar players have gone from 6 to 7 strings adding another 4th down on the scale with a string below the 6th. On standard instruments dropped “C” is about as far as you can go without string rattle and buzz. Black Sabbath tuned down back in the 70’s due to Tony Iommi’s severed finger tips (from and industrial accident at work) but did so in “standard tuning.” Many guitarists, especially Fender Stratocaster players (Hendrix and SRV), and those that play with keyboard players will tune down to E flat (one half step down). The Stratocaster just has a stronger voice and tone in E flat. I’ve always tuned my Strats to E flat. It’s where they breathe fire and take no prisoners. In bands with strong keyboard players, you’ll find they love those black keys which means songs written in E flat instead of E and B flat instead of B or A. Strong male tenors (vocalists) love the key of B flat. Also, if you play with horns they love the keys with flats and sharps (the black keys). So, by tuning to E flat a guitarist can still play in open string keys on the guitar yet the keys, horns and vocals will be playing those flats and sharps they love. It’s very common for guitar and bass to tune to E flat. The “drop D” is also commonly used on acoustic guitar as is DADGAD where the 1st, 2nd and 6th strings are all tuned down one whole step. I remember playing “Fat Bottom Girls” by Queen with Ty on our Les Pauls in his little apartment in Springfield that he shared
With my band mate. He was like, “Oh, yeah! I remember that one. Drop D! I love playing in that (tuning)!” This was when the band was still “The Edge” - right before the new wave “Sneak Preview” days. 🤦♂️ Man, I hated that name…and that awful sounding album! Yikes! I remember pissing them off good - as a practical joke I sent a couple of those awful sounding songs to a buddy of mine at the local AOR FM station when they were coming to town as King’s X years later! “And now ladies and gentlemen here’s the humble beginnings of this former quasi local band with their Uber Heavy layered sounds. They are coming to town next week here’s now King’s X playing “Media Man” from they’re Sneak Preview LP 6 years ago!” LOL!!! Plank plank plank “Media Man!” LOL! Man, they were pissed at me! My buddies and I laughed our asses off. God, they were SO GOOD! Anybody that heard them back in the day knew they were going to “make it.” For whatever reason, the masses just didn’t dig them - not like all the musicians in the US and Europe did anyway. I was proud to know them. I was proud to support them. I remember one time they were in town, Jerry’s son flew in and he asked me if I would give him a ride to the airport to pick him up before the show. We did and had a blast. I think we got BBQ for everybody on the way back. That was a great visit. Love those guys. We’re all old fucks now. Back then we were all peach fuzz faced babies - except for Doug- he was the elder of the gaggle - although he rarely acted it. Good times man!
20 minutes in he tells how his throat is ragged and he's tired... yet he still goes on to give you another hour of his time instead of cutting the interview short. What a great guy...
Yes, I agree Robert Smithers - thanks for listening!
I saw Kings X supporting AC/DC at Wembley and left before AC/DC just to get to meet Ty, Jerry and dUg, nicest guys in Rock. Saw them again twice and lost my mind during 'Moanjam'. Best live band out there and that bass tone is still ringing my ears 30 years later! Great interview, thank you so much for this video
Very cool, thanks for sharing that, @darrangr 🙌🏻 💥 🎉
Ty Tabor is a rare, humble dude. He is a MONSTER electric guitarist and a true original as is Kings X.
Ty is one of the Greatest Guitar Players that ever walked the Planet. His tone is one that will go down in history. You can pick it out of a crowd................
Can’t quite put into words just how much king’s x means to me as a band. Ty has always been such a man after my my own heart. LOVE this guy’s playing and his personality
Thank you for listening Jeff Davis! 🎉🔥😇
Enjoyed the interview! And I'm so glad Ty is busy making more music as well as King's X....love, love, love their music!!
Kings X - the soundtrack of my life since about 1991!!
I met Ty at a meet n greet after a show. I showed him a photo on my phone of a classic Fender guitar I have. We geeked out talking about music gear. Ty is a total gear head, he likes talking about guitar equipment. All 3 members of King's X are quite possibly the nicest, most friendly Rock Stars of all time.
Fantastic interview! Like many others that watched this video, King's X is my all-time favorite band. They completely changed my world in regards to introducing me to harmonies, different tunings and showing the "rock" world that you can still put out incredible music without bowing down to the mainstream. Yes, part of their story is the question as to why they never were a bigger band, but I love the fact that they don't care what is popular. They create from their hearts and stay true to themselves.
Glad you enjoyed it Sean, thx for listening...
love king x to bits.
Alien Beans is one the best albums in my entire collection. I love the King's X, but Ty's solo stuff is phenomenal on its own.
His solo stuff is better than all the King's X stuff after Ear Candy.
One of the greatest unsung guitarists ever.
KingsX fans know how great he is but in the wider guitar community he's not well known enough.
I love Ty and Kings X..I've seen them many times..Great band, very unique and talented...Ty will always be one of my fav guitar players, not just for being a fantastic player, but for his great attitude and friendly, modest personality...I'm looking forward to the new Kings X album...great interview...
Thanks for your kind words Doreen Livers and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
I never could understand them giving up on Jughead because of the name. Excellent Ty side project. They need to get together and do more. Ty and Matt bissonette sound so good together. Call it jugface or lampshade... just a name. Great interview. Even the prato book doesn't discover those early Missouri bands he loved. YouTubing them now. Definitely see the influence of sneak preview era kx from there.
Thank you for listening hystat! 🎉🔥😇
The Platypus stuff is great and the first Jelly Jam album is my favorite piece of work by Ty. That album is so well written and playing not of this earth.
Pleiades is the ultimate King’s X song and one of the ones I play for people who haven’t heard! Go tell somebody!
Sweet interview dude! Ty is one of a kind :)
Thank you for listening @larslevinberget9558! 🎉🔥😇
this guy would have also been great in the band "Jellyfish "
I remember reading a concert review of an AC/DC show in a European magazine, perhaps Kerrang, and specifically remember a picture of Ty with the caption along the lines of 'Ty Tabor battling Belgians throwing beer at him'
Thanks @kyseinen, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
i grew up on you guys and i can't wait for your new music :)
I REALLY REALLY hope they make a movie about King's X. Their story would make a great movie.
The Jughead record is fantastic... I had no idea it was buried... "paging willie mayes" off that album is amazing as well as a few other tracks ! I have shows with Kirk Henderson on guitar... somehow so many of those "sneak preview" shows have survived. And the back story history is one of the best I have ever heard, it backs up so many stories I know but this makes it totally solid.. nice job making Ty talk and talk and talk... wow.
Thank you for listening David ! 🎉🔥😇
I've been into King's X for a long time and later got into Ty's solo work and it is really good. King's X is scheduled to come to my town in October so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it stays on and the virus keeps a low profile.
Fools Face ("Fools tale" long back section of hair was famous)- The Mistakes - Sneak Preview (The Edge/King's X) - southwest Missouri early eighties!!!
thanks for listening!
1:00:48 You're welcome.
Thanks Bro!!!
Thank you!!!
THANKS!
thanks!!!
The bad thing is Kings X is a musician's ...musician. These types are over common peoples head and it doesnt get play. I thank God they play for us musicians.
Glad you enjoyed the interview @christopherwalker2097, and thanks for listening 💥 🎶 🎸 !
Ty's MOONFLOWER LANE is awesome!
Island Sea and Hollow Eyes are the highlights for me. Good Ty Tabor sounds like Good Kings X. Cheers! V
yes! love that entire record
Hi Ty.. I just wanted to tell you I really enjoyed this interview.. Being a fan of your band and your guitar wizardry I kept telling our producer that I want my guitar to sound like this from Kings X. My band Love/Hate did the support slot of the AC/DC Razor's Edge in 1990 and you guys picked up the 2nd leg right after us. Defiantly helped our sales. Wish I had had a chance to see you guys on the same stage.. Nothing but respect to your band and your guys artistic approach.. Peace, Jon E. Love
your tone and playing aint half bad yourself Jon !!
Love/Hate were awesome - great guitar work! Hilarious opening line for your introduction!
Love/Hate came at the wrong time, such a great band the debut should have sold millions.
Don't f*ck with me
My ALL-TIME FAVORITE BAND!
I've been a Ravin and droolin fan since 90. seen a lot of shows,one of my favorites was them opening for Dream Theater and Joe Satriani.
They played Cigarettes and Ty's solo brought the whole room on it's feet for a standing O.
No easy feat, that's a tough crowd!😆
My favorite all time band also. This was the tour that I discovered them, absolutely blew me away.
@@evilgerry123456789 Top shelf dudes too! They stick around until they met every one and signed everything. No ego at all
Right on Dave, thanks for listening man!
King's x is so unlike everyone else out there, and that is one of the best things about them! I Iove the Beatles....but I have to say King's x is my favorite band. I will never understand why the world does not hear what I hear...I buy everything these guys do ...it's all great! I even have that Jughead cd!!
I LOVE Ty Tabor, first time I saw him in King’s X was in Nottingham, England 🏴 in 1988, 1989 on The Gretchen tour. A special atmosphere when they came on the stage that night.
What a humble and genuine guy. Great interview, thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a great interview, great job!! Being a huge fan of KX I was blown away to learn of Ty's bluegrass connection and even more blown away by him mentioning the band ' Fools Face'. Jim Wirt was the bassist of the group and went on to become a notable producer in the industry (Incubus, Fiona Apple, Hoobastank, etc). I didn't know of Jim's playing history, only his work as a producer, and had the pleasure of working with him on my last EP a few years back (amazing experience and such a great person). Having learned of his musical background and history while working with him, and now hearing Ty speak so highly of them is jaw-dropping! It's unreal how much smaller the world gets as time goes on!!
That is cool Will Newsome! Thanks for listening 💥🎶🔥
@@EveryoneLovesGuitar Great interview! You have a new fan!
Yes it’s a small world when you are talking about the cream of the crop 🙂
Wow, thanks Craig and Ty, what an awesome conversation. Craig you are a great interviewer. Ty, you have an absolutely beautiful soul, such an inspiration; there's no way to thank you for how much richer my life is with your music in it.
Thanks for your kind words @marks8437 and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
Love Ty Tabor. Love Kings X.
This fills my heart with joy. Great interview!
Does he play guitar plugged into that Marshall while walking on that treadmill?
Doesn't everyone? ;-)
I saw these guys on that AC/DC (Faith Hope Love) tour in Chicago. Awesome show! To this day one of the LOUDEST shows I ever saw! My ears rang all night after - and I loved it. LOL.
Rock on!
The Producers!Like Whats He Got,That I Aint Got!Got You!So CooL!I Saw those Guys in Lafayette,in like 85,at club Espirit!Never 4 Get That!❤Dogman,just Like The Rest of the Records,This Is Still Awesome Stuff!
Ty's voice is great, he has such a cool vocal sound. It's one of the most appealing aspects of both the King's X material and his solo stuff.
Yes, I agree Spencer Morgan - thanks for listening!
My first exposure to Kings X was seeing Over My Head on MTV. I was hooked for life after that. I saw them at Woodstock ‘94. Hands down they were the best band there IMO.
King’s X or Platypus…Ty is one of my favorite players.
Incredible tone, and an insightful person.
Thank you for listening @martianshoes! 🎉🔥😇
I stumbled into this and am very happy to see Ty and hear that a new couple of albums are coming out... Would love to have Ty master some of songs we have.
New jersey . studio one newark.. seen kings x twice . giant band at a small place! met them all in person. after that , no autograph needed!
Right on @darrenbizzell3822, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻
You guys definitely reached me
Craig, thanks for the interview, Ty is such a down to earth, humble person and such a big influence on me and many other musicians, He didn't mention it but 'King's-X' have one of the most loyal fan bases, and i'm proud to be part of it.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for listening Dagmar :-)
You were both so nice to hear - and there were may important fun things discussed. My favorite quote: "I won't know, so I am just thankful" (paraphrased a bit, but that's it!!).
Thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed this!
One of my true heroes! Great interview. Thanks.
Thank you for listening @stevesorrell9835! 🎉🔥😇
I went and checked out fools face and the misstakes on ty's word...I liked them...hard to find stuff. I can hear their influence in the sneak preview album before king's x. Loved the clean guitar and bass in the mix on those songs..good vocals too!!
Love the Marshall 6100 LM.
I saw Phil Keaggy in a very small church in Western NY in the early 80's. There was only about 20 people there. Had a nice conversation with Phil after the show.
Great interview, thank you Ty for sharing! but PLEASE stop asking questions about King's X in the past tense! Can't wait for the NEW album!!!!!!💖💖💖
Gretchen Goes to Nebraska is IMHO their best album. Summerland, Over My Head, and Pleiades are awesome.
Flies and Blue Skies is one of my favorites, too (from Dogman). Great!
Summerland!!!
Actually, not a throwaway song on the album.
Summerland is perfection!
@@PC160 Flies And Blue Skies, and Pillow .... Two ends of the extreme best of King's X.
"And I've died more than once on the way" my fave Kings X song Life Going By. Love you guys!
See yall in Oct in Char. NC at Amos'. Great interview!!!
Right on Danny mathis, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻
Ty is such a humble dude. I met him after a Kings X concert in 2001. Great band, great guys.
I fell in love with this band in 1990. The second album was out. Kings X we’re otherworldly to me, a band from a different planet. They were real and different. Mostly real. I have had the pleasure of seeing Dogman live in 1993, all the way to seeing them live at least two dozen times. There has been no other band that has the emotional impact on me than this band did.
Very cool, thanks for sharing that, Dave 🙌🏻 💥 🎉
Met him once. Humble guy.
Ty, if your band can win over an AC/DC crowd than you MUST be really awesome. Especially since they don’t even listen what you’re playing... at least at first. I only witnessed less fortunate (and honestly also less individual) opening bands. Wish I had been there... that would have been an unforgettable experience.
42:29 is the saddest rock & roll anecdote I’ve ever heard. King’s X has always been “Thinking Man’s Metal” and “Your Favorite Band’s Favorite Band,” and yet tragically ignored by the public. How they survived such crushing disappointment that week is astonishing. 😢
Thank you for listening @edwardx.winston5744! 🎉🔥😇
Fantastic player, love his tone and his writing.
Their albums don't do these guys justice Kings X is a must see band live. It's perfection and never have an off night (real pro's)
i pray everyday that he does a Solo tour featuring all his solo albums. Incredible music. I almost want to put a cover band together and play just his solo stuff to hear it live but that would disrespect Mr. Tabor.
Pay attention @20:38
applies to all ;musicians;
Difference between musicians and artist is feel(add soul and love/heart ye got massive difference)
He dosen't realize how great he is. Tremendous.
Great interview! Get some rest Ty, and we look forward to your new material.
Thank you ELG for sharing this! 40:05 Ty, my group was so so excited to see King's X back in MN (twice, actually). King's X is the band that musicians hear/watch going "omg - that's incredible". If King's X is not your favorite band, then I will tell you that your favorite band's favorite band *is* King's X. Edit: Forgot to add that when I watched the show, I was in a complete trance - Ty was smiling at me, I was could not help stop smiling back - cheers!
Right on man, thanks for listening!
I see some " UA-cam " guitarist saying " 'I'd like to go through some of the tones I like " and then proceed to fret notes which produces a noise which is amplified. Ty has tone. Real, sweet tone.There are guitarist that learn to play the mechanics and then there are musicians who are expressing their soul. Ty is one of those guys.
Well said!
Wow, What an absolutely fantastic interview with Ty Tabor (despite the soar throat) he gave a lengthy, honest, engaging and informative interview! Really glad I stumbled across this! Great questions by the way, you could tell you're a fan!
Thanks for your kind words @JCM800man and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫
Great band. Sadly underrated. Ty is so down to earth!!!!
It was a holy grail show to see them in Seattle last time they were here. I was a convert at Gretchen, FHL cemented it. I was struck by the Beatles harmony, within the constructs of drop tuned rock. And when I actually think about it, I hear Keaggy (sp?) in your playing. Always loved the arpeggio work, love to you buddy, peace... Play Every Day.
Cool PLAY EVERY DAY Glad you liked this and thanks for listening! 👂 🎶 🎸
One of the Best in the business. Balance, one of his solo albums is my favorite Record of all time.
They WILL ALWAYS B RNR's best kept secret....!!!!!! Indeed my favorite band of ALL times
I met The Producers in Pensacola or Panama City Florida when I lived there in 1980 at that time
It’s July of 2022 and I just saw Ty, Dug and Jerry play their first live show in several years in NYC the other night. Blew me away. I’m 52 and I don’t know how I didn’t get into them over the years- I’m like a kid again discovering all of their music. Incredible band. Wishing Ty the best of health and and all the best to Jerry and Dug. Great interview of a super down to earth guy. Thank you!!
Thanks for your kind words Red Out and glad you enjoyed this 👍🏻🎸♫ I'm a little older than you and from the city, as well... and I don't think they played there a bunch, I asked myself the same question!
Man I'm right there with you. I don't know how in the world I missed King's X until about a decade ago, but I did. Now, at 58 yrs old, they are among my all time favorites! Great interview!
very cool interview..hes an amazing artist/musician/songwriter and beyond humble..ive been seeing them live since 1989 and they never disappoint.their chemistry and love for the music is tangible
Thanks James Taylor, Rock on! 🎸🙌🏻🔥🎶
Definitely top 3 guitar player for me. His style and tone are incredible.
Right on @1848revolt, thanks for listening! 🎸💥🙌🏻
So surprising to hear Ty say that he doesn't think his vocals are that great! Always loved Ty's vocals as well as his guitar! Sort of like Eric Gillette (Neal Morse Band), awesome vocals and awesome guitar! Hey Ty, if you should ever read this, don't be too skeptical - I suffered for decades with severe depression cause I thought I was likely heading for Eternal Conscious Torment after very traumatic childhood events. Never really gave up on Jesus and now I KNOW that ECT is a vile lie of religion! He is perfect love and acceptance, so ever in the midst of skepticism, I think you can let that in because it is real, unlike the fear, bondage, & lies of religion. Be well & be blessed.
Ty is one of my favorite guitarists in the world. Thanks for the great interview & an abundance of inspiration.
Thanks for your kind words Medicine Mann 824 and thanks for listening 👍🏻🎸♫
Great interview with a great artist. It seems like Ty came from a Christian background, most likely. Most non-Christian kids don't wind up going to Evangel College, now Evangel University. Ty calls it a liberal arts school, and it was and still is, but it was primarily a Christian college with mandatory daily chapel/worship/prayer meetings. My wife went to Evangel and remembers Ty well. I was a huge fan of King's X when their first albums came out. When Faith, Hope, Love came out and I was listening to the cassette going down the road one day she asked to see the J card. That's the album artwork and lyrics and such inside the cassette case. As soon as my wife opened the J card she said, hey, that's Ty! I about drove off the road. She then started telling me stories about Ty, which I won't pass along. They were good, just not relevant here. I knew the guys had toured with Phil Keaggy and I believe I remember them with Morgan Cryer back in the day. I was also pleased at the work Ty did with Resurrection Band in producing an album they put out. They've always been one of my favorite bands and Ty's hand had a very positive fingerprint on that album. Ty seems pretty jaded on faith and Christianity. I could be wrong, but that's how it comes across. I hate to see that, but it happens to a lot of people. Someday, I hope to have my own conversation with Ty about those early years as we both have a mutual friend. As a guitarist, I would love to pick his brain on guitars, gear, tone chasing, and such.
Glad you enjoyed the interview Joz Jonlin, and thanks for listening! 👍🏻🎶🎉
I saw Morgan Cryer in concert at my church gym in Florida in the mid 80s. Two things I remember about that band. #1. They were killer! #2. The bass player was black, wore all black, spiked hair to the ceiling, and walked the crowd with such a friendly dimeanor. I learned many years later that it was Dug, when I discovered King's X and recognized him. I think Ty and Jerry played that Morgan Cryer concert too.
Great interview with a member of one of the greatest bands of all time....goes all the way back to out of the silent planet and Gretchen goes to Nebraska

1:12:58 what a fortunate thing to be able to say. So many kids don't get encouragement from their parents.
Sad but true...
