I wonder if they look back on that video and ask "did we really need to smash all that stuff?" Very uncharacteristic of them, but awesome performance.
I had a friend at work that went to this show way back when. I had already known of Kings X but he didn't. He came to work the next day and told me about the show. He said, and I quote, "There was this band that came on an blew the crowd away, it was as if everybody in the place woke up and started having the time of their lives. I didn't know who they were but man were they good." ..... He bought 3 albums the next day. Enough said. Best band on earth, all things considered.
Oh my God! I've seen King's X at least five times live, but I would give anything to go back in time to see this! They are THE SHIT. And I totally didn't expect Doug to go completely insane at the end either. Wow!
Are U in TORONTO??? Just curious because of YYZ...That is the address to Toronto International Airport...Also home to another GREAT ROCK group called RUSH!!! KINGS X= 20 FAT STARS!!! PEACE!!
Actually I'm from SouthAmerica. The "YYZ" in my username is a reference to Rush xD and of course I'm a big fan of them! I also know why the song is called YYZ, the band were on a plane, flying to Toronto, etc...
LOL!!!! SO AM I FRIEND!!! XD!!! I just found out about King's X December 2008 And fell in LOVE with their music...Alone,Dogman,and Cigerettes are my favs....I have been a RUSH fan since "PERMANANT WAVES" which I discovered while in U.S. ARMY.I used to listen to them while on guard duty,cleaning weapons,TA-50 inspections and the whole 9...Some of the BROTHAS would trip because I dug me some RUSH until I turned them on to NEIL PEART..after that those BROTHAS started diggin RUSH!! PEACE!!
Who me?? I am old as DIRT!! LOL!!! Late 30's...I would TOTALLY agree with Exit Stage left as being the best LIVE performance....with TOM SAWYER and YYZ being best songs on that disk....JUST MY OPINION Jahahahaha!!! Did you check out NIGGY'S MILK?? Check em PEACE!!
See the film "Black Purgatory" it will attempt to explain why they and other bands were never as successful and others. Catch it on Youtube while you can.
Hey man I' not going to use King's X or this website to debate the issue of racism with you. It could of just as easily been that Dug's homosexuality prevented mainstream succes . I'm not copping out, it's just that I feel this isn't the forum for it. I've always thought this band was a perfect example of all that bullshit being put aside and the racism factor just kind of taints it for me, that's all. Nuff said. God bless and love the postings.

please give me a break , ive talked about racism all over the internet, youtube isnt any different from all the other places, to be honest, it taints it for you, cause you dont like the truth, keep living in your sheltered world, im just stating facts, and if you dont believe me, watch Doug Pinnick in Electric Purgatory, see if that 'taints' it lol
If you carefully note, I said "It could of just as EASILY been that Dug's homosexuality ". I didn't say it was. It could of have been anything. That was the point I was trying to make. I would be inclined to agree with Palmoni's take on it. End of story.
it's because their music is too complicated for da masses;simple as that.had this "discussion"way too many times with the bandmembers& their roadcrews over the years
Progressive music isn't popular with the masses, hence the title "POP" music from popular. Music has to be simple for simple folk and american young people who make up a HUGE market. (You know, the Hannah Montana crowd) These guys are aged and progressive but the thrid stirke is that it's hard to find a head lining act that wants to go on AFTER King's X. They're TOO DAMN GOOD! Ain't THAT a kick in the pants! It has NOTHING to do with racism or homosexuallity.
One of my favorite bands, but they didn't hit big because they sing about GOD. Watching the headbangers mosh/slam to this is ironic. Even stranger is Dug's display of rage/destruction after singing a set's worth of self-help lyrics. "LOVE keeps it all together"... right? AWESOME band & top-notch talent, but these guys are too squeaky-clean in their convictions to be accepted by those embracing the dirtier rock-n-roll lifestyle. Lose this & bring on the Motley Crue and Buckcherry... JK.
Ever met these guys? They're some of the nicest people I've ever met. I think they we're kind of expecting to be huge like Boston or Journey and they got disappointed when that didn't happen. Dug freaked out?? When did this happen?
THEN GOD MUST BE A BLACK MAN IF THATS THE CASE!!!! I dont know who "THEY" HATE THE MOST GOD OR THE BLACK MAN....PROBABLY A TIE!!!! LOL!!! OR A BLACK MAN BY A NOSE!!!! STRANGE???SHIT HES JUST EXPRESSING THE RAGE HE COULD NOT EXPRESS ANY OTHER WAY WITHOUT DOING LIFE IN THE NAZI CONCENTRATION CAMPS SOME CALL PRISON IN THE U.S.
this is the most intense version of moanjam i've ever heard. as you can tell from my youtube screen-name, i'm crazy about the song. ;-) doug pinnick sent me a copy of this on video tape after i wrote him and told him i would loved to have heard their performance at woodstock.
To Fear No Vodka..I know them very well and no,they don't.Dug has a garage FULL of shit they got free so it's no biggie! haha
