Man . . . Its been awhile to be here, how did I miss this thread ? Hey fellow Kings Xers First, they got a little appreciation here : http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=799&title=kings-x-appreciation-thread So some here have made comments at that thread, hopefully we can spread the good word. Ha! Seems I'm the LAST on to post there I hope I'm not a "Thread Killer" here too ! The 3 guys seem like very likable people, so I would imagine anyone working with them-find them alot of fun to play with (side projects etc.). So I would guess they have garnered a lot of respect from their peers. I was amazed seeing Pearl Jam, for the 1st time when they were the musical guests on Saturday Night Live (An American Comedy Skit Show) for the 1st time and the Bassist was wearing a "Faith Hope Love/Kings X" shirt and Paul Schafers Band (The CBS Orchestra) on Late Night with David Letterman play the difficult "We were Born to be Loved" on Commercial breaks on a regular basis! "Black like Sunday", "Manic Moonlight" and "Welcome Home Mr. Bulbus" are the 3 I couldnt get into but MM's "Believe" is super funky and got a great groove, WHMB gets a bit Avant Garde believe it or not-so its a bit experimental for them . "Fishbowl man" is a bit wackey but quite good. I need to give these 3 another chance. If I had to recommend the "sequence" of Albums . . . 1. Out of the Silent Planet 2. Gretchen Goes to Nebraska 3. Faith Hope Love 4. Kings X (I have NEVER heard "Black Flag" on LA Radio . . . EVER! I guess I'm glad because I love that song). 5. Dogman 6. Ear Candy 7. Tape Head 9. Ogre Tones 10. XV I think if you go by that sequence, you'll understand where they are going . . . . I say the rest of my 2� at the Appreciation Thread. And a new "Jelly Jam" album is on its way . And I bought The Special Edition of "Live Love in London" DVD as a Christmas Gift for me . Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King's_X ". . . If you really do believe, then dont forget to pray for me!" "Its Love" on The Dennis Miller Show! (Circa 1990-91): Can you name the "Beatles" song at the end?
