Are we going to get a new disc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 QUOTE (presto123 @ Jul 8 2012, 09:57 PM) Just as I suspected I went to Amazon and Bulbous is one of the lowest rated records in the King's X catalog. Lots of average and meh reviews. It does contain a couple good songs but doesn't compare to their best records. I find that surprising, but I will not let if affect my opinion whatsoever. I find every song on the album amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no sign of them working on another studio album together anytime soon and it's been 4 years. I don't know if this is their last album, and I hope it isn't, but if it is it may be a good way to sum things up. King's X Songs on XV 1. Pray 2. Blue 4. Rocket Ship 6. Alright 9. Move 11. Stuck 12.

But if this is so, wow! Short but very sweet, the first three songs on the list I'm especially surprised by and loving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 A new Ty Tabor album would be greatly appreciated... A new Jerry Gaskill solo album is on the way! He's in the studio. Also on the way is Dug's "Naked"! In fact, that might be out now.... Hm.. Apparently there's a follow up to Jelly Jam's "Shall We Descend", can't wait for that... The Jelly Jam is... Well, the best band ever. If they all left their respective bands/professions and really worked hard at it, Myung, Morganstein, and Tabor could make the best music known to man. Just a thought ;) Oh, and you know what. We REALLY need a new King's X album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Going to listen to Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, I associate this album with studying since I was doing just that when I first heard the album. Great album, up there in their top 5, or 3 even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfmoran13 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I know that there's another thread on this subject buried about 5 pages deep. But, it fits under the King's X umbrella and thought it might be good to mention it again... "PINNICK GALES PRIDGEN will issued their self-titled debut album on February 12th, via Magna Carta. Composed of bassist/vocalist dUg Pinnick of the progressive metal band KING'S X, southpaw blues-rock guitarist Eric Gales (LAURYN HILL, solo) and ambitious ambidextrous drummer and former MARS VOLTA member, Thomas Pridgen, PGP unites three versatile artists, who demand, as much as share, the musical spotlight. On the band's debut, each member of PGP infuses the material with his own set of musical influences, transforming his individual instrument into a lead instrument. The absolutely slamming musicianship frames the recognizable melodies of these songs and catapults the music into the realms of psychedelic blues, hard rock, and progressive soul/R&B. Tracklisting:'Collateral Damage''Angels And Aliens''For Jasmine''Hang On, Big Brother''Wishing Well''Hate Crime''Lascivious''Black Jeans''Sunshine Of Your Love''Been So High (The Only Place To Go Is Down)''Me And You''The Greatest Love''Frightening' "This record is three guys, with music in us, who said, 'Let's go for it,'" says Pinnick. "It was built upon raw energy." Produced by Mike Varney, Pinnick Gales Pridgen contains all the stinging bite and all-out sonic boom of King's X, The Mars Volta and THE ERIC GALES BAND. In addition, fans of artists as far ranging as JIMI HENDRIX, CREAM, LIVING COLOUR, STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, TOOL, THE WHO, STEVIE WONDER and LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT might find something meaningful in these meaty, extended tracks." You can find a video of the song "Hang On, Big Brother" on YouTube. I checked it out yesterday. Good stuff! I'm pretty psyched for this release.

phoenixdown Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hang on big brother blew me away...Im a huge fan of DUg's and have always loved Eric Gales guitar playing and Thomas Pridgen as a drummer is bad ass but in the chaos of The Mars Volta it was hard to hear how much the guy grooves and really makes the song..can't wait for the full cd!!! That scream DUg does near the end of the song...simply awesome!!! ***We're not worth...We're Not Worthy*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 To my fellow NYC area Rush & King's X brothers and sisters, King's X is playing a headline gig on Sunday, 05 May 2013 at Stage 48 in New York City. Tickets are only $20.00. It would be a great opportunity for some of us TFRers to hang out. We could meet up at the Harley's Midtown (formally Irish Rogue Pub), just a couple blocks away from Stage 48 before the gig. https://stage48.com/events/kings-x/ Stage 48 605 W. 48th St. New York, NY 10036 (212) 957-1800 www.stage48.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_heijnen Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) I'd love be there if only the atlantic would not be between amsterdam and nyc. I've seen king's x play live once and it was just awesome. It's a shame they don't get the recognition they really deserve.
