Very cool video. In the late '80's I read a quote by George Lynch in a magazine "Thank God For King's X". they had 2 records out at the time, I got them. It changed my life,
Kings, X and Creed. Is it just me or are they in the same category? Love Both bands. They have the same popularity in my books. Faith, Hope and love. Wow! What an album
I saw them three times at Toad's Place, New Haven, Ct. and they were great every time. Twice I waited for them at their tour bus and they were all very cool. Once they autographed my ticket and another time they went on the bus and brought out a King's X poster which they all signed. I was a young wide-eyed rocker and I remember telling Jerry "I have all your cds", and he said "they make great Christmas gifts". I was just a star-struck dipshit but they were all friendly, and Doug is just like on this video, quiet but seems like a real good soul. It still amazes me that they are not even more popular, despite their talents and great songwriting. Maybe that lends validity to what they do, seeing all the shit that is popular now. When they did "We Were Born To Be Loved" live, with all the stops and changes, it brought the house down. Great musicianship, great songwriting, great vocals (especially Doug), but even more admirable, very cool, down-to-earth dudes.
One of the most under appreciated bands ever !! KING'S X IS AWESOME !!! I saw them open in 1991 for Living Colour and they blew the roof off the Orlando Sports Center !!
A friend dragged me down to Slims in San Francisco one evening with promises of a fantastic powerband., ... She was absolutely spot on and ive had Kings X unique harmonized vocal metal/grunge in my head ever since.
This is truly great. Nothing like watching about a band's beginnings. King's X deserve all the success and accolades. Interesting how they literally lost their Edge to become Sneak Preview.
There is no way I could ever argue with that statement! There have certainly been other very good trios, but just look at the longevity and body of work of both King's X and Rush...and there really is no comparison. In a league unto themselves! !
+Caesar Leza No doubt that Cream were awesome and were influential to both bands (especially Rush) but the point we were making is the longevity and body of work for both K.X. and Rush...30 -40 years worth, compared to Creams 2 year career and handful of records. That's all. A couple other trio bands I really like are Triumph and ZZ Top, but they still pale in comparison to the shadow that King's X and Rush cast.
When I watched the end credits and they listed the video footage from "some unknown dude," I had to laugh. They really need a new rockumentary if they have not done so already.
Always loved dUg's Vocals and bass tone,Ty's guitar overdrive(Rat?)tone,playing&vocal.Jerry's a great player&vocalist,I just hate those cymbals(Paiste)!🤮.All Great writers too!Just my opinion.
Did they have a second guitar player for a while in ' Sneak Preview ' ? The clip @ ~ 1:45 shows another guy playing guitar on the very right of the image. I also saw another clip where there was another guitarist for a bit ... Anyone know the answer ?
ROB HASENWINKLE If you go to 2:25, they actually mention Kirk leaving the band (they were still 'The Edge' at that point) and there's good footage of them playing the end of a song where Kirk is actually shredding it up on a Les Paul. There may be more details in Part 1 of the documentary...have you watched that as well?
Be kind to your friends the creator put here...That was a mockingbird expressing his love for your music...Every creature the creator created has the same Consciousness as YOU...Everything is Consciousness...Consciousness is Everything...Consciousness pervades the universe...All religion is man made nonsense...originated from fear...Consciousness Originates from Love...We all share Consciousness...Tune your Guitars to A = 432Hz...which is vibrating with the earths energy...A 440 is dissonance switched in 1939 by dark triad people...The ones who always make war and hate...432 is Peace and Love...Check it out...
Pleiades is quite possibly the most vital & important song ever written. Gave birth to the King’s X sound we all know and love without end.

I'm sorry but KX crushes creed
I'm sure Tremonti would agree
Creed isn't worthy to provide catering to King's X.
It is absolutely mindboggling to see one band change so much over time. This documentary is really incredible intimate access to an incredible band.
When dUg screams at the birdie, it's classic.

dUg yelling at the bird to shut up ROFL!!
Seeing them live in NJ on 6/13/2015! Being seeing them since 1990 or so, when Galactic Cowboys was always the opener.
Rush , King's X best trio bands ever

+reachdown76 Agreed and I dare say, The Police, rate with these guys as well BUT King's X is my favorite band of any band.
+reachdown76 i love King's X but how about a lil band called CREAM

badass; it's about time the boys got a proper rockumentary! Thanks
This is fantastic! Thank You.
I chuckled at that part where dUg was screaming at the bird.
Love King's X! Thank you for the upload!
Kirk Henderson! Damn, they could’ve made it with him!
Never seen these before. THANKS
Thanks for sharing these vids.. very cool indeed!
Kings'X, one of the great bands of the era.
Probably the biggest fear of all of us who perform publically;That we'll be performing to an empty room!😳
@MrUltraworld Mr Lynch sure knew what he was talking about...Mr Scarey himself!
Hope to see you guys in denmark soon! Live is always best! Take care ;)
"Sneak Preview " sounded an awful lot like the Atlanta band "The Producers ", great band !!! Way underrated !!!!
Opening for Black Oak Arkansas. Cool story.
love this band
I wish someone would do a documentary on King'x....like the one with Anvil...King's x was far better and more known as Anvil.....
To this day I feel cheated that there was never a continuation of this great interview!
Get their book.... you will no longer feel cheated.
Musically, The Edge sounded a lot better than the Sneak Preview era.
Something between the three of
em" Love em!
there's a song where they're singing "all I want to be a rock and roll fantasy." it starts at about 1:40. Does anyone know where I can find this song?
Always loved dUg's Vocals and bass tone,Ty's guitar overdrive(Rat?)tone,playing&vocal.Jerry's a great player&vocalist,I just hate those cymbals(Paiste)!🤮.All Great writers too!Just my opinion.
kirk was a badass guitarist. wonder if sound would have been better or worse if he was part of x
It definitely wouldn't be the kings x sound as we know it.
Where are the tapes with the full shows?
Did they have a second guitar player for a while in ' Sneak Preview ' ? The clip @ ~ 1:45 shows another guy playing guitar on the very right of the image. I also saw another clip where there was another guitarist for a bit ... Anyone know the answer ?
ROB HASENWINKLE
His name is Kirk Henderson and he was the 2nd guitarist in Sneak Preview for a little while. All before KX.
Hmm thank you ... how did you learn of this?
I ask because I did not hear or learn anyone mention this in the interviews or elsewhere
Also... how long was kirk henderson the 2nd guitarist for ?

i hear a red shouldered hawk
@Lainex72 You are quite welcome!
Sneak Preview's got to be one of the worst band names ever.
@How2BecomeAChristian Very Welcome! I'll be putting up a new Poundhound vid up soon too...check back soon.
@seamus2112ophelan THAT IS AWESOME,,, THANKS

Dug looks more and more emaciated the older he becomes.
there isn't much to eat in Africa.
actually, if you check out KXM videos you'll see that DUG LOOKS GREAT-AMAZING FOR HIS AGE!
