These guys NEVER got the recognition they deserve

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!

@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.

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

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

@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!!

@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.

[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 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 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]

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.

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