SERPENTINE - "Don't go near the water, the water can only kill. Some say she's the devil's daughter, if the swamp don't get ya, then the serpentine will". OUCH , youv'e got to give it 5 stars for sheer imagination. The Kings of the Sun bit of voodoo magic that captured hearts everywhere. This clip was way down deep in the misty South Louisanna Delta. Check out the 68 Roadrunner band car with foxtail. Now jump 20yrs ahead, late 1998, outside the seedy bar, with all kinds of broken dreams inside, bikers, drunks, risque women, Jack Daniels and Rock N Roll. Being no strangers to any of above, remember KOTS cut their teeth on the wild streets and bars of KINGS CROSS, Sydney, Australia. This band can bring any venue to life!!! and a very live performance indeed.
With an Eddie Kramer recording and a Dave Thoener of Van Halen fame mixing this one at the record plant in a very swampy no thrills approach. Love it. love it, I never get sick of watching this clip or hearing the song. Billy Gibbons from ZZTOP loves this tune. Thankyou Billy.
Our first album KINGS OF THE SUN was recorded in up state New York with Eddie Kramer at the wheel, he was full of life, seen at that time to be old hat. Jeff and I wanted that classic rock sound from the late 60's early 70's . This was done in Beartracks and Bearsville Studio's owned by Jannis Joplin and Bob Dylan's manager Albert Grossman up in Woodstock. So the album is full of that Woodstock magic, that fills the surrounding hills. Eddie Kramer would try and talk us into buying Ferraris if the album went gold. It was a stand in joke in between takes, the session was full of ping pong, chinese food, plenty of laughter and Eddie's obsession with the album going GOLD, it by rights , should of. Thanks everyone for buying the album and loving it!
Snare drum sounds are a tricky business - Especially with the 80's soundscapes ;) Many a potentially good song were slaughtered by over innovative 80's sound engineers... Luckily, that wasn't the case with any of our 3 KOTS albums - They're timeless feelgood machines! and what a fight it was to keep em like that. With the big brass and producers telling us in the 80's, that if we didn't bump up our sound we would sound old fashioned, which is what we wanted to sound, classic analogue valve recordings. Natural sound. It certainly was worth the fight!
KOTS FANS, thanks for your wonderful words, its great to know that people are still out there playing our music. The web has been a godsend for people to hear music that they unjustly couldn't get to. Now thanks to you guy's & gals, its all out there to be enjoyed, discovered and shared. Our music is world class, it will just take a while for people to catch up. Great music lives forever, it doesn't go away. The spirit, Jeff and I put into those songs has come through, thats what everyones hearing.
Please feel free as a kitten to subscribe to my Youtube Channel and share these clips, get the word back out there,and create a new demand for our band so we'll get out there and play. KINGS FOREVER !!! CLIFFORD HOAD.

Is the singer now the old bald guy in the KOS ballad song...? wow the ravages of time... it is just like Bret Michaels and poison... they just won't die or go away quietly. Still can't decide if this is a joke band or really sad serious band.... Anyone?

[CliffordHoad]

@suicideblondy , Melanie, In the name of Yheshua, I command you to stop living in the spirit of anger & hatred. Go to a place already appointed by GOD. Answer to him. Your argument is not with me or any other living mortals, you are in the hands of the wicked one & your fight is with him.

[TheNightseagull]

What was Eddie Kramer like ?

[CliffordHoad]

@TheNightseagull

A flamboyant perfectionist, he was an Aries with plenty of fire. Great sense of humour and at the time , he was only 40yrs and we all saw him as The old man, living through Woodstock and all. I can tell you , he has a lot of stories about Hendrix and Zepplin that I remember and it was all from the horses mouth cause he was right there. He also had photo's of Linda McCartney with Hendrix. Eddie loved chinese food and ping pong.

@suicideblondy If i saw your shit useless face, i'd kick the fuck out of you you dick less dumb fuck.

[tatey39]

Just one of the greatest bands around at the time.....This album and Full Frontal Attack were the driving force to that era for me.....Long live sleazy, dirty, grimy, petrol-fuelled rock bands like KOTS......

[scumgod13]

@suicideblondy I take you're reall young, which means you have never experienced real Rock n Roll as it was happening. If you were born after 80, I pity you.
