I knew King's X but I knew very very little of the Beatles until very recently, so I'm discovering things in reverse order a bit. From what I gather, King's X music seem to be some variation of the music the Beatles did, except by the difference that King's X is able to do all this without studio trickery to achieve it (pure musical instruments replicating studio techniques), they are able to PERFORM the songs live, and above all they are able to do all this with ONLY THREE PEOPLE Wow...
As for the guest guitarist from Galactic Cowboys, you may be thinking of "Prisoner" - not this song. And it probably would have been Ben Huggins who played acoustic. I saw them both on the (KX self-titled) 1992 tour when GC opened, and was also promoting Space In Your Face. Wally was not in the band during this time. I saw them at Summerfest in Milwaukee around the same time this recording was made, which made it onto Tales From The Empire, from the Cleveland show in 1992. You can purchase the 2-cd KX gig on Molten Music. I have pics from that show in Milwaukee.
+Demray Halen Crap, you are correct. I remember looking through my bootlegs a while back and finding out that it was a different song with the Galactic Cowboys. I'll have to edit the description soon. My bad.
Dug's voice is kickass as usual. The band as a whole is one of the best in the business. Great Song to Sing Live and also a great song to play as a cover song. I have played the guitar and bass parts and they sounded great. Killer Tune.
another remarkable feat in their songs is that the guitar parts are not overly difficult to learn, although they sound like they are this band goes so deep it's crazy
similar music to what Beatles and Soundgarden did, but one resorted to studio trickery in order to achieve otherwordly sounds, and the other resorted to exquisite tunings and whatnot... King's X achieves it "naturally" on instruments using regular tuning (holy fuck)
I think was the first King's X song I heard and loved it from the start. the solo is epic, but particularly at 3:28. I wouldn't call it a balld though, I'd call it slow "groove" rock. these guys are like the American version of Rush, just different. amazing talent, band, music.

+Quilted Pine They definitely have a Rush influence, though if I could pick two main influences for King's X they would be The Beatles and Black Sabbath. Queen, Sly and the Family Stone, The Police, U2, ZZ Top, and Black Flag (duh) are also pretty key. In some ways they remind me of Type O Negative. It would have been interesting to see those two bands play together, though I imagine they would have despised each other. :P
This was a great version of this song!!! You can tell the power in Dug Pinnkck's voice!!
that solo is always pure gold
and I'm gonna cry to bits when I hear it live in front of me LOL
Doug's voice is just incredible. He's as good live as he is in the studio and I have heard very few bad recordings of him live.
The best version of this song live.....EVER!!!
The perfect combination of heavy grooves and tight rhythms. By far the best trio in American Hard Rock history.!

Demray Halen I purchased it, 'cause I want see!

I was at a show with Galactic Cowboys opened!!! But no one sat it for this song
I have a bootleg on which they play "Prisoner". Before the song Doug introduces Dane (Sonnier) from the Galactic Cowboys as the acoustic guitarist.
This version is absolutely smokin'. How good does Doug sound, for a start.
My 7 year old daughter died earlier this year... there may be no better song to describe the questions and frustration.
This recording is AMAZING. It plays on their website on the main page, sounds like a studio recording, just absolutely amazing!
Killer Tune !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is just plain badass!!!!!!!
Whole album is mind-blowing!!! Thank u Atlantic Records for financing this masterpiece!!!
I will always love Atlantic because of Stone Temple Pilots, another one of my favorite acts ever
Since discovering this song, I've listened to it once every single day. I'm on day 7 now :)
welcome to the club

@noblefreecloud Very sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine how horrible that must be. Best wishes to you and family, and hang in there.

I don't hear any rhythm guitar. It was prisoner that Wally played acoustic on.
Dammit. You're correct. My memory's not what I recall it being.
Where is this version available?
