Gretchen Goes to Nebraska
Most underrated band of all time
Cant say it enough, man
For once, the "under-rated" youtube comment isn't just hyperbole. Truly, truly under-rated.
Absolutely 100000%
Dug is 70 years young. Amazing. Much respect.
I am 50 years old and I just started listening to kings x 4 weeks ago. My god what a band. Thanks
These guys are legends, absolute legends, should be household names. But great art does not always work out that way, it is not always recognized as the genius work it is, within its own time. Really glad I got to see KingsX live a couple years ago, the sound and music was phenomenal. Hope to see them again in the future. Even bought the Tech21 dUg bass pedal ! 🤘👽🤘
I plugged my mic into that pedal
uuu
Diminished returns😆😆
Jerry is like the drummer next door! 😎
'Should be household names'.....I got over this DECADES ago!! The other extremely wearisome word Kings X fans always use is 'underrated'. I feel sorry that dUg, Ty and Jerry have had to hear it over and over and over and over......
Time to let all that go.
@@davidsanderson5918 because you 'got over this decades ago' it means it is true for Kings X? ummm huh why ?
Kings X self titled is my favorite record too!
Kings'X rules !!!! Greetings from Italy !!!! Thanx a lot for this live streaming Charlie, I really appreciated it!
Incredible interview! Can't wait to hear this new album!!! Our band BEZEL is extremely excited and honored to be rocking with King's X on 10-28-22 at Trees Dallas!!!
Awesome!! Congratulations on the tour
Sounds like you know my best friend Billy from Pville, NJ. 😉
Kings X has a great catalog. Personally I love Dogman I think it's easily in their top 3.
So many of my friends are the same way. For them it's just Dogman and then the rest. I love it. But I love Gretchen and Kings-X a little bit more.
Thank you for bringing us this treat Charlie. I share your love & enthusiasm for the great King’s X. I call them The Godfather’s of Grunge. Faith Hope & Love to Dug, Ty & Jerry. Happy Holidays!
👏👏👏🤞🤞🤞🤞 King's X and Anthrax tour. Make it happen.
Thanks for this Charlie. I've loved King's X since wearing out my Gretchen cassette back in the day.
This is a brilliant conversation. Thanks Charlie. King's X does indeed rule.
Excellent interview. Waiting with intense anticipation for their new cd, and upcoming film documentary.
What a fantastic interview! I first discovered KING'S X when in 1989 I got to interview the late great Eric Carr from KISS. He was telling me to check out a band called King's X and their album Out Of A Silent Planet. I am glad I took him up on his offer because for the next few years, King's X was all that I listened too! What an amazing band! Cheers for the interview Charlie!
Awesome interview! Kings X is amazing!!
Agree my friend👍🤘👍.
Pleiades is one of my top 3 songs all time. IMO
Thumbs up if you LOVE dUg singing Goldilox!
It's nice to see Dug, Jerry and Weird Al all looking so well in 2021.
RE: playing in Nebraska....I got to see King's X and Galactic Cowboys play at a long-gone bar in Lincoln called "Guitars, Cadillacs" - it was a converted movie theater, and the stage was about 25 feet in the air above the floor (above where the theater screen had been). Still one of the greatest nights of my life!
Right on!!
I had the same experience when Galactic opened for them in 92!
That tour with GC was the best one ever!!
The GC singer broke my nose stage diving on that tour; guess who wasn't paying attention to the stage for the 2 seconds he should have. :D
Thanks SO much for this amazing interview with Kings x, not just a phenomenal band but beautiful people too.
What a brilliant show. And awesome to see Charlie's love for the band shine through!😃 And as Charlie said, cannot wait to hear the new album. And to see the guys live again. 🤘🤘🤘🤘
DUg, such a talented an honest guy
Watched the livestream, this is great to have it on TH-cam, can’t wait for their new album!
I wish I could shake the hands of those 3 just to look them in the eyes and say: you changed the life of a teenager in Brazil back in the 90ies...
What an impecable interview with amazing questions Charlie! Still watching the interview for a third time! Thank you!!
Really like Doug defending the fourth album King’s X (1992). It was a good album but I remember the timing was difficult and people were against Sam Taylor & Bill Ham -type fourth members as grunge was happening. I read an article then where 50% of the text was about Sam and whether the band are in control. Crazy.
You can't beat "Ooh Song", "Chariot Song", "What I Know About Love", "Dream In My Life". Those first 4 albums, if you find fault with them, you're crazy! :)
I have to add even when "Please Come Home Mr.Bulbous" "Manic Moonlight" and "Black Like Sunday" kind of threw me what direction they were going, they were putting out solo albums that were awesome. They have never ever disappointed me. Ever.
When it came out I didn't like this album that much since I thought it felt like left over material from FHL sessions. I was wrong but I still feel like it was material from a phase that should have since passed, especially when Dogman came out after. BUT now I really like most of the material here and it does have a special place in my collection. A lot of great stuff on it. I'm happy Doug liked it.
1992 King's X was my introduction to the band. My Uncle was a promoter for RCA Records, and he always hooked me up with metal and heavy rock albums that my parents didn't approve and wouldn't buy me, all through the 80's. Then one day, late 1992, he handed me the cassette and said "hey one of the guys thought you would like this". At the time was still almost exclusively into Slayer, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, just about anything that went hard musically speaking. So when I first heard it, I didn't think it was for me. But music was scarce (we were very poor), so If I owned an album, I listened to it. And I started listening to the cassette in my walkman walking to and from school. and that's when it happened. The song writing and the musicianship blew me away. Been a fan ever since.
Thank you Charlie for a great interview of my beloved pet band !!!
In the 80's and 90's, I was working in record stores. I was working at my college radio station and I'm a musician. My whole circle of friends were all big fans of King's X. I had a framed promo poster of "Faith Hope Love" with an autographed "Dogman" album flat signed by Doug hanging in my living room for years. Years later, I had new friends see that poster and they would ask "Who is this band?" and that floored me. The band was so much a part of my musical conversation with so many people that I couldn't understand why so many had not heard of them. To see this interview with Charlie is awesome to see. Love King's X.
saw King's X four times. It's the most that I've ever seen one band. King's X and Blue Murder opened for Billy Squier at the Omaha Music Hall in 1989. Saw them play the Back Room in Austin TX in the March 1990. In Regards to Nebraska. I saw them twice at the Ranch Bowl(closed and the location is now a WalMart) in Omaha. 1992 for the self titled album and 1994 for the Dogman album
Kings X is such a special band!! So creative! Got to see them, meet them when they played clubs in Houston in the Eighties, such nice guys and their sound and vocals live were spot on!! Thanks to Mr Benante for one of the best music interviews ever!! 👍🎸🤘🏻🎵😎
I saw Kings x with Dio in 2002. To this day, I’ve never seen a tighter band in my life!! They were hitting these notes after a pause in the music right on target without looking at each other. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen!!! Bought the live stream Charlie, it was amazing!!! Thank you!!!!
I saw them in Anaheim and San Diego on Friday and Sunday that. I can't wait for another tour
Great description of their timing LIVE and so true.
It’s funny,they def are underrated.Watched and waited and waited and waited and then checked them out.Those guys are in the playlist on multiple songsSo many names.Love this band thank you
“Complain, so much easier, Complain, So Much Easssiieeerrrr. Love, Love, The Mighty Kings X. Dogman is a phenomenal album.
It was like a bullshark busting out of your speakers and headphones!!
Their peak for me.
I now and always will love Kings x. To hear all these other heavy bands like Anthrax, Pantera, Skid row, and so many others GUSH over how talented Kings x is just makes my love for them grow more. Best Band EVER!
Just saw King's X tonight. SO underrated, and such a great band!
Great interview with a truly great band. Saw them in ireland on front of about 20 people on he Gretchen tour and they were amazing. Thanks Charlie👍
Was that at the SFX Hall? I had the gig on cassette. I got to see the Marquee London shows of 88 and 89. Great attendances at both
Thank you for this Charlie. These guys are one of my favorite bands of all times. My dad and i never bonded on much but King's X was our commonailty. Anytime we were in the car we would jam to kings x and we both knew all the words. Also one of the more painfully underated bands of all times.
Both excellent but hugely underrated bands glad i got to see them live RESPECT
Back in the day when King's X would play in Dallas I would always see Dimebag Darrell at the show.
Thank you for showcasing the Kings! Can't get enough of them. True gems.
I saw Kings X in my hometown of Knoxville, Tn during the Tape Head tour. I had already been a fan for 10yrs and to this day, it was the greatest performance I had ever seen. After the show, I spoke to Jerry and I asked him how they sang so in tune together and his reply was “I don’t know. Do we?” It Amazes me that these guys can’t comprehend what we see and hear from them. Maybe it’s humility? Thanks for doing this Charlie!
Such nice guys, all of em. Charlie too. Pass King's X on. They're quite worthy
♡ how Jerry & Charlie connect
In talking about Dime's love of King's X, i can remember seeing King's X at the Canyon Club in Dallas and having Dime (somehow unnoticed) stand next to me in the crowd just being a fan. Then he made his way to the front - ducking down so as not to get in people's way - and talked to Ty while Ty was ripping a solo! This was before everyone had a camera in their pocket. Such a cool, cool moment!
Such a great informative interview! ❤️
Love that you fly the flag for King’s X! Maybe the most underrated band ever.
Thanks Charlie for this.
Love King's X and very excited for the new album and a documentary.
Is the doc gonna be available to buy on dvd or is it just streamed or you Tubed etc
Man King's X is such a great band! Dogman is my personal favorite. Really good interview !
This is so great! One of my favorite writers of all time interviewing 3 more of my favorite writers of all time. Thank you so much Charlie. Can't wait to hear the new KX!! And...can't wait to hear the new Anthrax! Time for another Anthrax & King's X tour, just sayin'....
What a pleasure to watch.
Charlie Benate!!! B. Black from Eddie Torres' band Piranha Brothers! Great interview with my favorite band ever!!!
My first metal gig was seeing all you guys at Bristol Colston Hall on the State of Euphoria tour in '89, and I've been a fan of both bands ever since.
Love you!
Hey Charlie, so glad I found this and found you!!!! Thanks to you and King's X!
Charlie I just saw you a week ago n in St. Louis with Metallica/Pantera. Listen brother you effing killed it man!!! You and Zakk didn't miss a best. Great job man. Thank you
Charlie thank you for this interview. My all time favorite song is also Goldilox, this is the song that If I could ever find my voice this is what I wish I could write.
WOW. Great interview, Charlie!
SIX BROCKEN SOLDERS .
is one of my favourite Kings X tunes.
Ogre Tones is fantastic. Never talked about.
Kings x are filthy!!! Incredible band
Great interview Charlie!
Can’t wait for the new album this September!
How anyone could give this a thumbs down is beyond me, there's absolutely nothing bad about this interview, if anything it's brilliant because of the friendly atmosphere within the conversation.
First time I saw kings x was when they opened for Anthrax here in England. Victoria Hall stoke on trent. Absolutely gobsmacked. Like nothing I was listening to back then 32 years ago as a young boy in high school. Flawless musicianship and memorable songs. Still love them now at age 47.
The new album sounds A M A Z I N G. The way Ty talks about it in particular....if HE'S stoked, the perfectionist that he is.....
This was great! Thanks for the excellent interview. I was 15 years old when I grabbed Faith Hope Love (at a mall record store of course) as a recommendation from a friend. I don't often say a band or music changed my life, but that changed my life. All-time favorite band. My 15 year old son and I have had tickets since 2019 for a show here near me, hoping 2022 the concert will happen!
Great interview.. so good to listen. ✊
KINGS X kings x was a great album.
it was the album i saw them gig with 1991. Newcastle UK.
Love these guys. Thanks for posting this.
Love you Charlie for Anthrax but King's X? Damn! One of the best bands out there that should've made it bigger. Awesome interview by a true King's X fan, and I agree with Charlie: Goldilox is one of their finest, the song that switched me on to them. Never looked back after that, same with KXM.
I have the Fuel on the Fire Cassette . I have loved King's X Longer than I knew. The first time I heard King
s X I knew they played on Morgan Cryar's album. That shows you how awesome they are, that you can tell them just by their sound.
I love the way the mention of the album Dogman induces a collective purr. :) And the way they wax lyrical about the end of We Were Born To Be Loved. One is the peak of King's X studio output and the other is the best live moment of a King's X show....for me. But I'm sure I'm not alone. It's lovely to know they highlight these things too from their side just as we do.
Can't wait for the album. The way they talk about.....W O W ! ! !Can't wait for the MOVIE too.
sooo good - thxs Charlie - i really liked Dug's "Poundhound" too !!
I was at the Limelight show w/ AIC opening, and it remains one of my favorite shows of all time. I had gotten to meet the guys in AIC at the Concrete Foundations Forum a few months earlier, and then again when they played in Atlanta, so I knew what they were about.
You talked about trios, what I describe as my "desert island" bands (if I could only pick the music of 3 bands to listen to forever) are all trios with singing bass players: Motörhead, Primus, & King's X. With their music catalogs, I could scratch every musical itch.
Watched this last night. It was awesome. It inspired me to finally try playing with a dropped d tuning! 🤘🏼
Can’t wait to get my hands on the new album 🙅♂️ awesome interview!
This interview was awesome. So cool to see someone like Charlie Benante as the interviewer. One thing, the interview needed to be like at least 4 hours long!
You know you are amazing when you can turn world class musicians like Charlie into a gushing fan...love kx and Anthrax
I SAW KINGS X IN 91 uk.
the best.
met dug the best.
Dug you sing so well.
I'm a singer too ( not like you mate).
so love your band. all of you.
To see you doubting if you’ve made good music just kills me! You are the best of the best! My life has been enriched thanks to you and your music. It’s gonna be my Music choice for the operating room
tomorrow!
Some of the greatest shows I have ever seen have been King's X shows! I remember seeing them live for the 1st time for the Gretchen tour and walking out of the show completely hooked. One of the greatest bands of all time. Living legends. Thank you, Dug, Jerry and Ty for so many memories.
SO excited to hear this new record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Still one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life and is ingrained in my memory forever. King's X at some small/mid size club in New Jersey around '91/92 I think. I believe they were still playing the Silent Planet and Faith, Hope Love stuff at that time. I got there early because I was dying to see what Ty was playing through and he had a big, black sheet covering his guitar rig which was slightly off stage. I'm sure at that time it was the L5 and the sound was fantastic. What really got me though is there were maybe 300 people in this club and these guys played like they were playing Madison Square Garden. The songs were perfect, you can tell they were having fun on stage and the harmonies were impeccable. I saw them several times since then but that first time for me will stay with me forever. Thanks for doing this Charlie. It's a really cool thing to see an amazing musician like yourself "geek out" over another musician or band! I'm right there with ya brother!
Saw King's X at a small (now defunct) club on Greenville Ave in Dallas called the Underworld. Ty had issues with his rig so they said "Fk it!" and played acoustic. AMAZING show!
i remember seeing Kings X at the Thisty whale, in River Grove IL., and just being blown away. they sounded heavier than metallica that night. I've always loved them. so tight. the bass drum plays every note the bass player plays, which adds to their sound. thanks for a great interview. all guys have their own voice. and of course gotta love the vocals !
Best King’s X interview ever!
Instant like
Thanks for the awesome interview, and really looking forward to hearing the new album!!
Fantastic interview from Mr. Benante, a true King's X enthusiast!
Charlie a monster drummer and apparently has great taste! kings x what a stunning good especially live band. great guys! the father in heaven sent his son to save! that's love
I love this interview so much. And Charlie, your appreciation and knowledgeable questions, and even your guitar knowledge(!) is really inspiring. You're an incredible musician and I love all the work you're doing, on and off drums.
Awesome. Love KingsX
Excellent Interview Charlie🤙🥁🤙🎸👍!!!
I LOVE King's X
One of the greats!
One of the best bands ever
57:53 I LOVE THIS PART!! It's like we've eavesdropped on a private King's X phone call. LOL.
Great job man! Love this band. I'm so looking forward to the new record.
Charlie's absolutely right about 'Gretchen Goes To Nebraska'. There are few albums where every song is good and interesting. I place it right next to Led Zeppelin IV at the top of my Top 20 albums of all time. The A Side of 'Moving Pictures' is also that good, but I've never cared much about the B Side.
EVERY King's X release from the Mega Force through the end of the Atlantic era was a gem in its own right. Putting all the focus on the debut and Gretchen was a wasted opportunity.
There are a few great songs from the Metal Blade era forward but the albums, overall, do not stand up to those first 6 releases IMO. (Though I will say some of the later material KICKS live.) Can't wait for the new one (how much longer??!!). Sounds like they put a lot of time and love and care and craftsmanship into it.
I somehow missed out on King's X early, but over the past few years have become a huge fan. Hoping to see them live for the first time in Charlotte this October. I think Dug is right, about Goldilox not getting the initial push it should have. If it had, in the the then current musical environment, KX may well have gotten the kind of recognition everyone agrees they deserve.
I meant to include...Great interview!
I saw them as The Edge a few times in Springfield, always knew they would be a big force in the music world. Had a demo tape that Dug hit record on accidently, you hear him say " Oops wrong button. LOL Still have the Sneak Preview album.
At 40 min. mark Jerry mentions Kerrang! and that's where I first heard of these guys. I must've like and agreed with the writers other tastes because I bought Planet. I met a guy and he said he bought Gretchen at a garage sale and didn't like it. So, I had doubts we'd remain friends. and we didn't. I saw Kings X after Gretchen and they ended with Burning Down. It was a little bar club so i got blasted and went to the back and it sounded perfect/ Great way to end the set. One memory was a guy, maybe Ty's or Jerry's brother cause he had a coat like Hendrix old vest from Monterrey.
