King's X is one of the most criminally underrated Hard Rockin bands to ever exist in the entire history of Rock N Roll and the entire history of music.
i think the problem is they are stuck in the middle between hard rock and alternative rock/metal, crossover band always have that kind of problem, nevertheless addictive band, the more you listen the more you fall in love with their riffs and choruses ;)
The most underrated band of all time. Their lyrics, musicality, their voices. Kings X is the most incredible band ever. My husband and I got their first album in the 80's and was blown away. We got all their albums and were never disappointed. Dug Pinnick is my favorite bass player of all time and holy moly does he have the most incredible primal scream ever. THANK YOU KING'S X FOR THE MUSIC!
i honestly...just....don't understand the idea that more people don't love this band. power, subtlety, complexity, simplicity, groove, harmony...so many vibes throughout the years, so much talent. they just nail it in general.
The way I see it, King's X is a band that will always belong to their true fans, which is an awesome thing. Sometimes it sucks when a band becomes huge, it changes things. King's X will always be a sort of hidden gem for those of us who love them.
rhiggins30 perfect comment!! I often wish they had more mainstream success, but I (we?) feel an amazing connection to this band and their music. Sometimes it goes even deeper with a smaller fan-base.
Too Good For The Masses... Check out over all of history, all of music and other arts, of healthy life / thoughts / wants / needs etc etc etc.... Better be happy you're not one of those sheeple. Better be happy your favourite bands are not the hamburgers of our society... ENJOY!!!!
Woah Kings X. The greatest band no one's heard of! Been with these guys since 'Out of the Silent Planet' and simply don't get why they're not massive! Latest album '3 Sides' keeps the flame alive. Long may you rock mighty Kings X!
I used to be Jerry's drum tech. King's X consistantly the best live act on the road today, and the nicest guys in the world. Great job on the video, Christian.
Have every album. One of the best rock bands ever. Perfect blend of soul, rock, power, harmonies, and musicianship. IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR... GO TELL SOMEBODY!!!!
I had the pleasure of opening for King's X on the Tape head tour in 1998. I was always a fan and that was my fav experience in music. These guyz are cool to the bone!
I started listening to King's X in 1990 when I was pregant with my daughter; and let me tell you I have loved them every since.....I am a bass player singer in our band....I was raised in a Southern Baptist household and my dad was a gospel singer (shouting gospel)....Over the years I have reflected on my own personal journey to just be who I am and revel in it.....
That 12 string Bass Mr. Pinnick plays is a horror show on your fingers...Your flesh gets pinched in between the strings...Its amazing how he can deal with that during a set...These cats are so soulful and real.
He plays a Hamer 12 string bass first designed by Tom Peterson of Cheap Trick around 77' - 78' I saw him play it from the from row at the Paramount theatre in Portland Oregon on August 31st 1978 - my 18th birthday, such a badass - Doug plays in a much more physical percussive style. Just incredible!
I finally got to see them live a few years back. The entire concert was a religious experience. But when they finished their encore with a stripped down version of Goldilox and dUg directed the audience as we sang the song to them... it shows how deeply we fans feel their music in our bones. I've been to hundreds of concerts and I've never experienced a better concert.
I'm a Christian and I love King's X! Best band that has been ignored, a real shame. When Doug came out I was shocked but never, ever judgmental. I look at the log in my eye before I look at others. My faith has been tested many times and I have never thrown it away, why? Because some knee jerk ignorant idiots think now that Doug is evil? Doug, and the whole band for that matter, need our prayers. Return to God Doug and Jerry through him all things are possible even redemption. Why throw away et
I discovered them in 1989 after I’d all but given up on hard rock. They revived my thirst for good music. I saw them last Saturday at the Scout Bar in Houston. Small venue and they did not disappoint. They opened with Groove Machine and I rocked hard until the show ended. My wife loves this song and it was in the set list.
Sorry for what? Being one of the three most talented musicians in the greatest most underrated band of all time? The art that is Kings X has been an inspiration to me since out of the silent planet. The world should apologize for not giving Kings X it's due. Love and peace.
eternity because of some narrow minded folks that don't walk the walk. There are always going to be people that judge you, just ignore them and please, please return to the loving arms of Christ. You need to forgive the haters and embrace the love being sent your way via Christ. Be washed clean again by the blood of Christ it's not too late. Love and prayers to you King's X
Yes!! yes yes, I'm going to say it, THE most underated band in the history of rock, they're of a much different caliber than ANY other band. They are my generation's Yes, Pink Floyd, Sabbath and the Beatles. Which is a massive statement, as they are a massive sound for a 3 piece band. Incredible, I hope we get years more of their music..👍💯
This song has such a great groovy sound, and the harmonious singing is awesome. I love King's X, I am so lucky that I have seen them LIVE in The Netherlands.
dUg pinnick is agnostic (turned away from the church after coming out as gay) so there is a chance that this is ironic in some capacity. then again this song was written by ty who is religious (even though he has criticized the church in his music from time to time).
@@negativefloof5033 I don´t care if they are good or not, if their message is religious I am out. There´s just too much of it out there. So I guess it´s good news.
Did anyone see the comment posted by that one fucking loser that said that King's X has "no harmony" OR "good groovy hooks"??!🥺I'm sorry but WHAT THE FUCK? They are nothing but HARMONY & GROOVE specialists you fucking inbred loser. What are they playing fucking Ozzy covers hoping to get heard? What a prick, f.o.a.d.a, thank you.
@@marcoferrao omg what ignorance!!! They ARE a great band that got labeled "christian" rock decades ago by the fucking fake news media. They never wanted that, nor did they NEED approval from idiots that didn't understand their music. So either you've heard them and have NO clue, OR you haven't heard them and STILL have no clue. They're far from Christian rock, they just sing alot of soft, flowing harmonies, they don't spit and yell and scream sounding like cats being butt fucked. I hate it when people talk shit and haven't heard a LICK of the music they're criticising, what geniuses!!....😁👎🤮💯
Most underrated band in the history of music. They should be as main event in all the big rock festivals like Wacken, Hellfest, Rock in Rio or Lollapalooza. You guys are pure talent. Greetings from Chile. One of my dreams is to be in a live show of King's X. Considered Chile sometime. Bye and hope to see you soon or sometime in my life.
This has to be my favorite song by Kings X! Love it!! "If you think that your better off than me. . don't forget to pray for me"! Classic! God Bless King's X!!!!
This band is monster. Dugs tone is king. What an incredible 3 piece. So many songs they have a massive. 3 dudes kicking arse. Never seen them live. A dream i will make come true. But i live in Asia. Will travel to the usa to see them.
King's X are in a class by themselves ! Not to mention that they will hang out after a show and sign everything offered ,hang and talk till the last person has been thanked !
This was one of my favorite bands right when I got out of the monastery! I went to India for 10 years when I came back I dove into Kings X! Saved my ass! namaste!
My friends and I are in this video for a split second... In the crowd at Volume 11 in Raleigh, NC. Been a KX fan for 20 years now... Favorite band of all time!!!
I think it's great that the three original members of the band are still together. There aren't many bands nowadays that have been around for many years but still have all the originals.
I've listened to these guys since i was born and they never cease to amaze. My dad worked with them back in Springfield MO when they were still called Sneak Preview. Ive met them like 6 times since i can remember. Remember, Rock and Roll wasnt born in Mississippi, it was born in Katy, Texas!
Kings x are a whole lot of band for very few on stage. Most underated band in the U.S. I love them to bits... Come to Australia guys we love you downunder... Chriso
I love this band for so many years...This song always reminded me of a song I wrote with Tinman on Long Island named "If". Always sounded like an answer to my song lol.
KINGS X IS ONE OF THE GREATEST BANDS EVER!!!!!! I grew up on Kings X, and I love them all. I don't care what other people say or think about them or Doug, their music is amazing. When I was a kid I saw Doug at a concert in Texas called Exodus 90. Man it was AWESOME!!!
Beyond BADASS!! The power pf this band!! No 5 layer distorted guitars, no chest beating horseshit...solid and well written songs played by awesome musicians who CLEARLY love their craft
Opening for Porcupine Tree? My dream ticket...no idea why they can't headline their own shows forever, but what an awesome pairing! Love to go (long trip from Seattle), enjoy for us here.
Cousin Dug,Ty,Jerry you guys know this is one of my favorites &then DogMan,Over my head,Go tell somebody . I could go on forever they're all my favorites!!!
I first heard these guys when they performed at the International Guitar Festival in Dallas a couple years ago. I was blown away by how good they sounded, and when the bassist said he was 60 years old, I couldn't believe it. He sure doesn't look it. Now that I've looked more into their earlier works it amazes me how many great albums they have put out... especially the Dogman album, which is one of my all time favorites now.

Love King's X!
Great mix of rock, soul, British Invasion, gospel, and progressive
they are like Queen who stuck in the middle of their career, amazing band, but still not popular somehow

It's just too much.
Always has been.

KINGS X IS THE BEST ROCK AND ROLL BAND THIS WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN!!!
They are better than a lot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!
@@ADKMPTN better then Tupac that's for sure
Amen that
PREACH BROTHER!! KING'S X IS AS REAL AS IT GETS!!🤘🤘
Your taste . But don't compare to purple, Sabbath, zeppelin, Floyd, Kansas, Hendrix, UFO, Skynyrd etcc.
Have every album. One of the best rock bands ever. Perfect blend of soul, rock, power, harmonies, and musicianship. IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU HEAR... GO TELL SOMEBODY!!!!
I try to tell EVERYBODY! 👌🏾👏✌
That just about sums it up perfect
I've got every album too! Loved KingsX for 40 years!
Me too - especially love Dogman, Tape Head Ogre Tones and the new one ❤
I had the pleasure of opening for King's X on the Tape head tour in 1998. I was always a fan and that was my fav experience in music. These guyz are cool to the bone!
14 years later...what's your band name? 🙂
Anything on TH-cam?
You had to open for these guys? My condolences. Saw a great local band open for them on this tour, but there just isn't any hanging with them.
I started listening to King's X in 1990 when I was pregant with my daughter; and let me tell you I have loved them every since.....I am a bass player singer in our band....I was raised in a Southern Baptist household and my dad was a gospel singer (shouting gospel)....Over the years I have reflected on my own personal journey to just be who I am and revel in it.....
One of the greatest rock bands ever!!!
I'll second that brother!!!!!
That 12 string Bass Mr. Pinnick plays is a horror show on your fingers...Your flesh gets pinched in between the strings...Its amazing how he can deal with that during a set...These cats are so soulful and real.
As someone who owns a 12 string bass, they are actually relatively easy to play. It's almost like fretting a ribbon.
@@mercc9286 Yeah, I havent had that problem either. 12 or 8 string...
@@mercc9286 Is it a bitch to tune?
you had me at "12 string bass..."
He plays a Hamer 12 string bass first designed by Tom Peterson of Cheap Trick around 77' - 78' I saw him play it from the from row at the Paramount theatre in Portland Oregon on August 31st 1978 - my 18th birthday, such a badass - Doug plays in a much more physical percussive style. Just incredible!
I'll pray for kings x
One of the few bands that translate accurately from the studio recording to live performance.
Amazing when playing live.
Their harmonies are impeccable, when they're playing live. I'm a singer, and it's amazing to me what they're able to do.
I finally got to see them live a few years back. The entire concert was a religious experience. But when they finished their encore with a stripped down version of Goldilox and dUg directed the audience as we sang the song to them... it shows how deeply we fans feel their music in our bones.

@@NAFUSO1 Happy for your experience but sad that your comment made me realize 11 years of my life went by that quick! lol.
BEEN LISTENING TO KINGS X SINCE THE GLORIOUS 8OS! KINGS X IS THE PERFECT BLEND OF FUNKY ROCK, METAL & SOUL! FAN FOR LIFE! ✌️❤️🖤❤️✌️
You nailed it, funky rock, metal & soul. With only 3 musicians.
I've listened to this song over & over and never get tired of playing it! Much Luv 2 King's X! Here Me Now!!!
I'm a Christian and I love King's X! Best band that has been ignored, a real shame. When Doug came out I was shocked but never, ever judgmental. I look at the log in my eye before I look at others.

🙄 half the damn religion are knee jerk idiots
Most underrated Band in Hard-Rock/ROCK!!
Luv Me some,dUg,Ty & JERRY! 🎸🎤🥁 👍 💯

Still The Greatest Most Underrated Band in ROCK(And Maybe in ALL Of Music!)...Friggin Love Them!!
Seriously ❤
I would say UFO triumph and thin Lizzy are for being underated
eternity because of some narrow minded folks that don't walk the walk. There are always going to be people that judge you, just ignore them and please, please return to the loving arms of Christ. You need to forgive the haters and embrace the love being sent your way via Christ. Be washed clean again by the blood of Christ it's not too late. Love and prayers to you King's X
Thank you for posting God Bless you and your family and your friends and viewers. Peace out
What a great jam. These guys rock hard, and they are always playing somewhere. King's X live + a few beers = a good time every time. Go see them!
Yes!! yes yes, I'm going to say it, THE most underated band in the history of rock, they're of a much different caliber than ANY other band.

this band is amazing, ty tabor a great guitar player
Hear me now - kills me that this band never got the recognition that they absolutely deserved.
One of the greatest bands ever. Why did they never get the succes, they deservered. Love King`'s X !
......I may be Agnostic.....
but this is GOSPEL TRUTH

"Discovered" this band today... One more fan here! \m/
His Bass is Legendary! Love the tone.
Such an excellent song. Love it.
I remember their music in 1980. I grew in Kansas and the local radio station would play some of their songs. They were pretty big in the midwest.
1980? Dont you mean 1988? That's when debut was released. They had been around for years earlier, but as The Edge and Sneak Preview
Just saw these guys 5/26/23 and they rocked the roof off the place. ❤❤❤
Awesome groove, awesome message..Dug is the sh!t..hehe..love this song..
素晴らしい！感動しました！
4th listen in a row to this wonderful gem.

Mike Nesmith (of Monkees, Pacific Arts Corp, etc. fame)...one of his sons is Christian Nesmith....probably the producer of this video.
My new favorite song. 30 years and King's X is STILL ahead of their time.
I'm an old rocker and these boys kick ass! I bin so outta the loop lately that now I've got some catchin up do. So "pray" for me fellas!😎👍😇
A classic song!!!
That rhythm guitar overdub @ 02:39... Man oh man does this band kick some sweet ass! Love 'm till death.
this song is such a fabulous jam
Another great Power Trio....great musicians great music
15 days to go before I see them again. Can't wait!
One of the best rock bands ever and maybe the best sounding concert I ever saw (early '90s @ Henry Fonda Theater in Hollyweird)...King's X.
I cannot quit listening to this song, cd cranked through the big home stereo, perfection!
Maximum talent at its BEST !
King's X for LIFE
Thanks for all that awesome music.
Such a bad ass song! I met these dudes in Detroit, they signed my album....some cool dudes!
King's X.....love these guys.
I think it's great that the three original members of the band are still together. There aren't many bands nowadays that have been around for many years but still have all the originals.

You can tell King's X is in it for the music and the money is just a bonus, they rock the house regardless if it's half empty or thousands.
I love this band!
