King's X - HoB 2000 - Summerland

[wildcard495]

most underrated band on the planet bar none......what a great sound and the harmonies off the charts....

[gabeknight13]

I'm 17 years old and King's X is definitely my favorite band. you know its sad when people in school ask me what i'm listening to and i reply with King's X they say 'never heard of them, they probably suck.' fuckin kids need to wake up and listen to real music. King's X rocks

[Bennyboy138]

@gabeknight13 True that man, Its sad to see kids nowadays idolising stupid fuckheads like Kanye West, when King's X is everything that music should be. Their music is timeless dude, so just remember that your way smarter for getting into stuff like King's X rather than the total guff of todays mainstream.

[teerexness]

The musical "Crime of the Century" right here folks. The fact that these guys' aren't automatically on the tip of everybody's tongue when mentioning any grouping of rock-n-roll's best. Especially measured against other trios. As much as I love bands like Rush and Cream, these guys eat them for lunch. Spend an afternoon listening to King's X and then try to figure out why it's "King's who?" while bands like Metallica and Guns-n-Roses went on to (wildly over-rated IMO) greatness.

[coltsuperocean10]

@teerexness ....it is a shame they didn`t get the recognition they deserved. I liked them a lot, obviously a lot more people didn`t. Thats life I suppose, but to say they were better than Rush and Metallica is a bit naive, but you are entitled to you opinion.

[teerexness]

@coltsuperocean10 if you can call someone who's played guitar professionally for 35 years and a serious rock fan for even longer naive, I guess that's cool. It's like still getting carded trying to buy beer. I think King's X would have been a much bigger deal with more exposure and a music business that wasn't already in a downward spiral hell bent for destroying itself. If they'd have debuted about a decade earlier, whole different story IMO.

[coltsuperocean10]

@teerexness ...it doesnt matter how long you have been a rock fan or a guitarist, your comment was still a little naive. Nothing personal. I have been into Kings X for 20 years or more. Some bands get the breaks and some don`t. Music is a fickle business unfortunately.

[teerexness]

@coltsuperocean10, someone who can play most of the songs by most of the bands mentioned, versus someone who has listened to a band for 20 years? I've created, written and played on entire CDs. I've built recording studios. I've played live and on Memorex. I'm currently working as a water plant operator for the union wages and health insurance for my family. Naive probably isn't the word. Nothing personal. Musicians do hear and perceive music differently, I'll give you that.

[Bennyboy138]

@teerexness Totally agree with every single word you said man. I discovered King's X a few years ago, and after listening to every album over and over, and hearing about how long they've been in the game, and how many huge artists they've inspired over all these years it is ABSOLUTELY CRIMINAL that King's X aren't as big as bands like Metallica. The best, most talented, grooviest, funkiest, heaviest trio that has ever existed. Long live King's X!!

[russbrinn]

one of the best live bands I ever saw...

[CTuxford]

Hearing them play this tune after so many years makes me love what amazing musicians they truly are. If you can play a tune and make it sound better and more powerful 20 years later, you are a freakin' musical legend. You are a true musician. The timing of their phrasing and the tone... wow...

[Bennyboy138]

I bet every grunge/blues/stoner band over the last 30 years that became bigger than King's X have been influenced by them in big ways! King's X are the most underrated band on the planet. Long live King's X!!!!

[Cash2112]

Is this show available on DVD?

[caparkapa]

02:43

[caparkapa]

I never thought there was anything else but you.

[Glumpff]

Fucking great !

[AlbertSiebener]

"gretchen goes to nebraska" was my favourite album, when i was 16 years old - and all my friends hated it, cause it sounded so ... strange and different back then. now it's just the fantastic and timeless rock-music i always thought it was.

;-)

growing older is weird. really weird.

merry x-mas.

;-)

[tonysounds]

Leave it to the disposeable hero to leave a disposable, and uninformed, comment.

[sicaasicaasicaa]

♥ ahahahha :)

[matty47ful]

I agree! I saw these guys 3 times and because they are a positive force and believe in a higher power, they were ignored by many people. They are great live and each concert had a surprise...I miss them!

[Starbreaker]

Brilliant sound, and such a monstrous voice!

Even if King's X never found their mainstream success, I'm sure their loyal fans keep them proud.

[klextacy]

Absolutely incredible band. Doug Pinnick has one of THE best voices in rock music to date. Ty has such a great guitar sound and feel. Great music!

[ReaganPalmer30]

amazing band Doug is the shit!!

[Mowac]

If Jimi Hendrix played bass, your answer would be Doug Pinnick.

[jrsmoots]

Chills!



[briguy331]

Ty Tabor, the king of tone!..So much feeling in his playing. I dont think Ive ever seen a 3 piece band sound as good as these guys. Vocal harmonies off the chart!

[boyleb1]

@briguy331 rush might have something to say about that

[bradfordknights]

he's so on top of that solo.

[TurboThrash]

Such a great & underappreciated band it is a damn shame no one ever talks about them. People need to see them & buy their records.

[Terranova1469]

amazing guys....amazing band.......God-like bass tone....always

[LAURAMOONSHADOW]

Kings X are feckin' awesome!

[regdunlop1972]

listen to that bass tone!

[TheBitterWeed]

Saw them supportin ACDC in the UK way back when - they fucking rocked !!!

[Dav1dWesley]

F*cking amazing band. People don't know what they're missing.

[ByronW365]

Pure Talent !!!! KX Rulz

[kstarheel5150]

Genius

[GUXpress]

i open for these guys in 2weeks word awesome been listening to them since jr high

[badboogerfinger]

They never dissapoint.

[adrianvdb]

what does we say at 0:10 ? Lets take you back to .. something.

[Gibblesnik]

Gretchen Goes to Nebraska

[longhorn2615]

shows always sound better in a HOB

[trampshady]

Pinnick always sings his guts out.

[lovebites73]

Tjis is one of the most acknowledged but non respected bands. i hate that i love them

[Gibblesnik]

"Tjis is one of the most acknowledged but non respected bands."

You got that completely backwards.

[lovebites73]

how so. Americans ignore them.... they are American. everywhere

else they are gods.

[Gibblesnik]

Are you speaking for all Americans? King's X fans are rabid, no matter where they are. Your statement was backwards because they are HIGHLY respected by those who know them. The so-called "music industry" may not acknowledge them in the grand scheme of things, but their fans and their fellow musicians know better, and I'm not aware of anyone who knows them who isn't a fan. It's got nothing to do with territory.

[lovebites73]

i know they are respected i love them but in Sweden people worship them. That's where I'm from respect that. in America maybe 2,000 people show up in Sweden 100,000 people show up. i have been to more than my share of concerts by them. traveled across US for them...

[Gibblesnik]

You said they were "non respected", which is what I originally took issue with. Now you're acknowledging that they ARE respected. Walking backwards again, love? ;-)

Your dedication is impressive, but try telling Dug that it matters what nationality you are. I think we both know how he would feel about that, don't we?

[lovebites73]

when i say not respected i mean they have been a band for over 20 years but not abducted into the rock and roll hall of fame or acknowledged as one of the to 50 bands of all time. that's what im talking about...

[lovebites73]

well i am black and Swedish so we had allot to talk about... this is what i mean about Americans... they think only black people live in America we are everywhere... Black people are embraced and loved in Sweden not in America. Only if they rap or sing the blues or are gangstas I love rock live for rock In America maybe there was 2 or 3 black people in a crowd. Allot of black people love rock and metal like i do. but in America they say we want to be white.

[Gibblesnik]

PS. I'm sorry you hate that you love them. Perhaps you'd be more comfortable loving Lady Gaga? lol

[lovebites73]

just so you know i am the biggest fan of King's x seen them in concert 52 times met every member of the band recorded covers of them... your wrong on that.

[19672701]

Underrated band,I always want my favorite bands to be successful,it seems when they do its not as cool,something changes.does that make any sence?

[harindranvenkatesh]

Greatest song but such an asshole, worthless audience!

[leaderofthepack]

good bands not getting the recognition they deserve seems to be the trend around here in houston. helstar, d.r.i., these guys and countless others. the heavier music scene suffers greatly due to the fact that houston is a rap capital, i gotta get out of this place!

[vetmusician]

These guys NEVER got the recognition they deserve

[LAURAMOONSHADOW]

@vetmusician I agree... saw them a few years back, they are absolutely awesome!

[headshop]

@vetmusician When will they learn......

[disposableheroesmet]

@vetmusician YEAH they did because they dont deserve any at all because they are terrible!!!

[gornhorror]

@disposableheroesmet You must be joking. King's X is absolutely one of the best bands to ever walk the face of the earth.

[Flealan]

@disposableheroesmet

Dude you like Trivium. Lets say no more.

[solat319]

@vetmusician This is very true!!

[StratmanShane]

Great song from one of the absolute greatest hard rock records ever recorded.

[mithrac]

Such a great song, thanks for posting

[Distilled13]

Best Song EVER Freaking EVER!!!!!!!!!!

[heavydecky]

Doug's vocals after the solo send shivers right up my spine. Fucking hands down excellence!

[smtnfi]

I had the privelege of playing a show with King's X in Toledo. great show, great band.

[avisanguine]

That is really beautiful

[Nauticus89]

Holy shit he's got long arms

[jazeliada]

the only person that comes close to that bass tone is Monty Colvin - & he's friends with Dug - the best bass sound ever - hands down . . .

[804pillow]

why does every rockbassplayer in the book wanna sound like Tim Bogart or Chriss Squire?

[itellthetruth5]

as if that's a bad thing?

[ElPayasete]

The bass sounds like a thunderous quake!!!

Powerfull and agressive...Mmmmm: I like!

[beansandcornbread]

The greatest bass tone of all time!

[conradragzoff]

I preferred the old school mohawk....

[vetec4]

Dug Pinnick is one hell of a great bass player but its ill when he play's his 12 string bass Kingsx RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davipaldi]

T'as raison - excellent

grand souvenir

[guitarthroat]

They are one of the best and most underrated bands ever.

[coachwolf]

Wow - they lowered this a step or two. Is Pinnick having trouble hitting the high notes?

[hanky2112]

lol hardly , Dug is just a man with a lot of soul , not a thing wrong with his voice.

[JarnBjorn72]

Doug & King's X always rocks!

[DealeyGW]

Such great music isn't for everyone.That's why sometimes its good not to be very popular. :)

[likeastonesolo]

any heavy metal geek should know King's X unfortunately there aren't that many metal geeks out there

shame huh

[sqrat33]

thanks for video

[AlanLeviYYZ]

Please PolyChrome... tell me you have more videos of this performance!!!!

T.T

[Rabbitpen]

There's just no one quite like Doug. Wow. I would so love him to get the Mohawk back though! Should we start a petition or something?

:P

[911jesse]

I say we get the petition started immediately!

[Pipefanatic]

I would go to every show if I could!!!

[longviewcomputers]

King X rocked back in the day used to listen to them a lot back in 1990

[OtisGreen]

they still rock

[dereklawrence666]

These guys were for real. as good live as in the studio. totally underated.

[OtisGreen]

still are "for real"

[todd2611]

Is it better to make SHIT music and make millions($),

Or make KICK-ASS music and get by?!!!

[jfrockon]

Kick ass music always wins in my book.....

[Ayoudell]

I guess that depends on what your priorities are. Ever notice how a lot of rap is about money, possesions, and other trivial things? I think the popular music reflects the popular culture. And if rap is the popular music, we're in deep shit!

[miafins11]

I would love to see this whole performance, the guys seemed really on that night, especially Dug's vox...anyone got it?

[SpectorRay1]

Yes and it's a great show!

[william4art]

You would be amazed, they sound like a studio recording everytime they play live.

[wedapeepole]

better

[ecodirtrider]

WOW I got chills towards the end when Dug was belting out Summerland !!

[meshica7]

i was actually at this show.I work at the HOB in production as a stage hand and sometimes as stage manager.Kings X is my fav band.Simply amazing.

[federock2007]

Is it possible to get all tunes (video, of course) included in this show?

[mushroomheadsquish]

we want a dvd live

[anp70]

Live show in London 22/01/09 Camden Electric Ballroom is to be filmed for DVD.

[bingefeller]

Cool! Looking forward to that very much.

[KingTabor]

when these amazing guys will finally release a live DVD??

[chaser1717]

I was actually lucky enough to hang out with dUg for a bit the last time I went to see King's X. I ran into him outside before the show, and since he recognized me for our correspondence over myspace, he invited my dad, my uncle, my best friend, and I to the tour bus to chill for a bit. Then we went back to the bus while Extreme was playin cause I texted him and he invited us back (haha yes I have dug's number in my phone). Anyhow, now that im done bragging. He says a dvd is possible!

[Oubabass]

What a huge bass sound...

Great player and singer Doug ! Groove , powwer, feeling...what else ?!

[AlanLeviYYZ]

From 2:45 to 2:58... It's simply AMAZING! dUg's voice ... i get chills every time i hear it... And Jerry ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Ty is my favourite guitar player, definitely (and i've heard MANY MANY guitar players, from petrucci to malmsteen... Ty is unique!)

[3eyedho]

You sould have heard his voice in '98, at the Tape Head tour in L.A. 10 times, mind blowingly better. Top notch, no strain, power to blow the walls down, amazing! They all were at the best I have ever heard them live. I will NEVER forget!

[mjd775]

......great band!! Almost forgot about these from my youth.

[gladtorock]

My favorite Band since Gretchen goes ...

Thank you very much.

What is this Concert dated?

Greetings from Germany

[AlanLeviYYZ]
