third hand grace Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I gotta go see them, its been so long I wonder if they even remember me. I've been close the last couple times (showing my age here...) but they always play on a week night, and I don't do so well the next day at work! Just a heads up... They now have a DVD out.

Thought I'd dig up this thread. I've only heard FHL, and I think it's very good indeed. God only knows what I'll think of the others. I also like FHL but agree it's probably not the best place to start. I remember you saying you had ordered Gretchen Goes to Nebraska. I confidently predict you will be blown away utterly. It's simply phenomenal. I'm going to see them in germany in january. Can't wait. The London show is being folmed for a DVD, I'd love to take in that one. They are also playing Wolverhampton, so that would be easier, Ryanair and Aer Arann flights are handy for anywhere near Brum. Gretchen has not arrived yet. Played Dogman yesterday, not too sure about that one, but it's early days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Just got Ty's new album Balance........highly recomended. Awesome. One of his best (if not his best). Fridge, make sure you watch this guy live........he is a master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tys guitar tone here simply defies description. It is incredible, and his playing is exquisite. I just can't understand the love for bands like Porcupine Tree and Dream Theater et al, when a band of this magnitude gets overlooked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, especailly Porcupine Tree..........they bore me to tears BIG TIME (extremely overrated). Dream Theater I like though in small doses..........but yeah I agree with you.........

GhostRider712 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 agreed 100%... i think Kings X are severly underrated, and dream theater overrated... Kings X have such a unique and interesting sound, not a single band that sounds like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 They are one great band. Would have been a great group to open for Rush in the 80's and 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) Well, I just got back from Germany last night after seeing the boys on Friday night. Let me tell you, the gig was absolutely outstanding with a killer sound. Dougs voice was spot on and a lot of old classics were played. A thoroughly enjoyable night. probably one of the top three gigs I have ever been to, to be honest. However, the highlight had to be after the show. As usual, they stopped for a while at the merch stall to chat with fans and sign stuff etc. As some of you may know, my wife uses a wheelchair much of the time. When the boys saw that she couldn't get up to the raised platform to speak to them, they asked us to wait until after the signing session, then came down and spent what seemed like ages with us, posing for photographs and having a beer or two with us.They were extremely kind to Margaret, and I am very grateful to them for that. They made our night/week/month...hell, year! All I can say is that they are three of the nicest guys I have ever met. They didn't have to do that and it confirms in spades the tales I have heard about them being gentlemen. Ty in particular, is very humble about his ability and they all still seem grateful to have so many fans... For me, I had to keep mentally slapping myself in the face to stop being tongue-tied at the prospect of chatting to three of my musical heroes as if they were friends in the street I have loads of pics and will post a few when I get the chance. Doug, Gerry, and Ty, thanks for the music, thanks for being such awesome people and please stick around for a while yet.....
