Weird coincidence. Just learned that Monty Colvin (bassist for GC) has a podcast called Monty's Rockcast, thanks LL-vq1ws. Anyhow I started listening to it and Monty had just uploaded a new episode and the first thing he says is that it's been 31 years to the month since Space in Your Face was released. I didn't even plan this!
@TheArtofGuitar woah that's crazy! It was obviously meant to be! 🤘🏻
That’s some synchronicity for you! Wild! Must be that full moon 😉
Monty is an interesting dude and is opinionated.
Mike has the absolute best guitar channel. He is inspirational and proffesional and talented to the core. And Mike is very humble too! I learn something about guitar playing on every video he posts.
Monty posted you today. Ben watched too. By the way, Monty is a great artist. I have several originals on my wall.
Galactic cowboys opening for King's X were some of my favorite shows.
That must have been a great experience! Only way to top that would have been to add 24/7 Spyz to the show as well.
Those were the good old days! I went to many!
I was BLESSED to book this band quite a few times - and WOW - what a great band. I am also blessed to still be in touch with a couple of the members.
THE GALACTIC COWBOYS ! Pure genius, a missing link between metallica and the Beatles, will always love this band . Following albums were less thrashy but their songs were all gems . The first album is a must have . Kudos to you for speaking about this underestimated band !
I discovered them in July 1993 opening up for Dream Theater. They came out on stage during Dream Theater and sang the chorus of "Take the Time" while James L. sang the lead. Galactic Cowboys had so much energy when they were on stage.
Galactic Cowboys are a great band. First 3 and the one they did a few years back are some of my favorite all time albums. Plus, Monty is a good friend of mine. Glad to see them getting some recognition.
Yes, they do. I love King's X, but I wish people would stop associating them together incessantly. They're not King's X, and King's X isn't them.
Before you even said it I was thinking, “this has to be followed up with a King’s X video!”. Can’t wait!
deadhooooooooooorse
King's X is great, but I wish people would quit insisting on associating both bands together, like one depends on the other. GC deserves as much recognition by itself as King's X does.
How old is this dude he looks so young and 93 was over 30 years ago.
LOL... Galactic Cowboys were in the movie Airheads. They were the Sons of Thunder.
That Ibanez he’s got is GORGEOUS.
One of the greatest under-rated bands of ALL time! VERY influenced by the Beatles, and they're a bunch of AWESOME dudes!
One day we'll live among the stars, maybe own a ranch on Mars.
Wow, never thought I'd see Galactic Cowboys featured in a RUclips video! As for that bass tone, it's class bi-amping a la Doug Pinnick; split signal right out of the bass into a crossover, with clean lows going to any number of 15" speakers, and distorted highs going into (typically) 4x10s with variable tweeters, and all of it powered by either SVTs or Mesa tube amps (tubes are critical for that sound). Season with compression to taste!
You've been killing it with this series. From my perspective anyway all of these "hidden gems" are actually bands I've never heard of AT ALL which is amazing.
Galactic Cowboys!!! Love that band!!! ALL of their albums are great!
Absolutely love this band, their first album is epic. Their albums will be apart of my rotation when I’m retire to my ranch on mars. Thanks for this one Art of guitar!!
Wow how did I miss this band in the 90s. Totally binge listening now, thanks Mike!
Great to see some Galactic Cowboys love. Definitely a desert island band. Never got their due. Geffen was putting them up to be the next big band but Nirvana came around at the time of their first album and Geffen changed their mind and chose to go with Nirvana instead. What could have been. Galactic cowboys never age.
Geffen intentionally held back the GC release then dropped all their support. I mean, they had both signed, why kill GC like they did? Will never understand!
Both bands were signed to Geffen. When Nirvana blew up, Geffen essentially threw all their money at promoting Nirvana. Know one knew that Nirvana would explode!
Their Metal Blade was good
Genuinely, objectively!, one of the best albums and bands ever. I travelled from Ireland to Houston especially to see them, and I would absolutely do it again (I'm not wealthy by any means!). Their music is that special. Their catalogue isn't just fantastic music, it's feels, to me, like a guidebook for striving for true originality, not settling to just be another band. Haven't watched this video yet, but Wally, the guitarist from I think '95 or so onwards, is (along with Will Owsley) the single greatest writer of guitar solos ever. Pick your cliché... "it's a self contained song", "every note counts", "you can whistle the entire thing from memory", etc. Dane is an unbelievable guitarist, I personally just happen to gravitate towards Wally-type guitar exploration!
First of all, that blue Ibanez is beautiful! Secondly, Galactic Cowboys were awesome! I loved Machine Fish and At the End of the Day. I saw them play with King's X back in like 98 or so. Helluva concert.
greymatters6015 I saw that too, in Chicago.
There are people out there who love 80s thrash / metal in general, and also love The Beatles / vocal harmonies... but they may die without discovering this band. That, is a tragedy! So, thanks for spreading the good word, Mike.
Green Jello kicks ass. ❤
Green Jello sucks! 😊
X Cops
My favorite song is 'Circles In The Field'🚀. It has such a 90s sounds to it. And i love all the vocal harmony in the album. Of all the CDs in my CD collection, This album probably got the most plays along with AIC Dirt, and Masters Of Puppets. Another hidden gem for me is the band 'Biohazard'. I was lucky enough to have seen them live. It was a great era of music. 🎼🎸
Same here!!!
Everything has been dropped and listening has begun: thank u for being such a big influence on my guitar playing
Best part of No Problems is the bridge: “I’ve got no right…”
Great to see you cover GC and this album specifically. I still have this and their debut on cassette. I love their first album (almost more).
I’ve been listening to Monty’s Rockcast for years. He will likely mention and thank you in his next one now! Great job!
Can’t wait for you to cover THE MIGHTY KING’S X!! Moanjam anyone?
Thrilled and quite happy that someone is finally ready to expose GC to the masses! Monty is a good friend of mine…we always try to see him when we go to Colorado. I’ve been fortunate to meet all members of Galactic Cowboys and can genuinely call them friends. Both they and King’s X should have been huge. Both bands have recent-ish albums as well!
No Problems was probably my favorite track on this as a teen. While I had the angsty teen vibe going on, it was the most emotional song to me on the album. I needed to hear the message. This is still a go to for me on the album. My first GC experience was them opening for Dream Theater, and they came out and did the vocal harmonies on Take the Time. Got to hang with both bands after the show. As a 17 year old, they made their mark on me and it still shows 30 years later.
Its still one of my favorite albums feom the 90s. I still listen to it everyday. I was blown away the first time i heard/saw it on MTV
We are about the same age, grew up on the same music, and I can't believe I've never heard this before. They are really good!
The vocalist definitely sounds a lot like Mike Patton.
Thats because Mike patton fronted this band on the downlow dq. Scatterbrain be frontin hardcore on the skatez sidez but Galactic Cowboys be knowin the fretzboardz for realz.................Don't be no crip blood playa hata..................front hardcore for this band for realz and Glenn fricker dont' be knowinz what hitz him!!!!! Bling a ling ring a ding..............GC be tighter than GLenns buothole when his wife be cookinz.............
I saw them open for Dream Theater in 1993 and was blown away. Amazing band and album!
One of the most transcendental bands in my life. Almost 30 years at my side. Machine Fish, At the end of the day and this album are my favorites. I am very happy with this review. Cheers from Costa Rica!
I always felt like "Where are You now?" is part II to "My School" from the first album. Thanks for this video Mike. Will be re-visiting Galactic Cowboys discography for sure.
An AMAZING band that still gets a spin for me every other week or so.
Another fantastic band/album from '93 is I Mother Earth. LOVE them too!!
So glad to see I'm not actually the only one that knows about them. Hahaha
This album is amazeballs.
Green jello documentary is AMAZING!!!
I am a massive, massive Galactic Cowboys fan. Sam Taylor, who worked with ZZ Top and then went on to produce and manage bands like King's X, Galactic Cowboys and Atomic Opera. This album, although only their second, was the end of this era for the Galactic Cowboys. They got dropped by their label, split up with Sam Taylor, and lost their guitarist Dane Sonnier as they basically broke up. Two weeks later, they were offered a deal from another label and everyone but Dane got back together and they brought in guitarist Wally Farkas. The album that directly follows this one, "Machine Fish", is outstanding as well!
As a big fan, I think all of the albums are great, but SIYF and Machine Fish are two absolute gems and required listening for sure!
First Jimmie's Chicken Shack and now Galactic Cowboys. Woah Mike! I'm glad you're introducing us to hidden gems of the 90's. Thanks! Keep introducing us to unique and unsual bands.
Dude, u are speaking for sooo many people rn
Liked the album. The harmonies reminded me of one of my favorite bands from the 90s Kings X.
The most unknown, underrated best band! Easily one of my top 3 of all time, these guys were awesome! Ben, as well as a few of the other members, have posted this on their Facebook!
Maynard from TOOL is/was in Green Jello, I believe.
I think it's Danny Carey
His real name is James. Maynard is a name for a pampered cat.
I love their self-titled album... Killer songs. Not listened to this one. Now I will...
I was typing "Is there a Faith No More quality to the harmonies?" when you touched on it! 😅🤘🏻
Great album. I first heard it at a listening kiosk in tower records when it came out. Bought that and Ian Moore's debut album. Was a good day.
The good ol' kiosk. Crazy times!!
I haven't even watched the video yet - but OMG! Galactic Cowboys were awesome! They were frequently on tour with King's X. Heavy guitar riffing, amazing vocal harmonies... this band needed far more attention than they got! "About Mrs. Laslie" is the killer track here. THey also toured with Dream Theater in the Images and Words days. The GC would all run out and help sing the chorus on "Take the Time" Great stuff! Glad you found it!!!
**Edit** Holy.... a Scatterbrain reference! Duuuude....
How did I miss out on this? I'm gonna have to check out this album!
This was my favorite album of the 90s.
I saw the Galactic Cowboys open for King's X in San Diego back around 1998, and the Cowboys just killed it! One of the best musical performances I've ever seen. I just wish I could have seen these guys a few more times. Great band!
Always love to see something on Galactic Cowboys.
Wow! This is really a blast from the past. I loved this album back in the day, even with some of the quirkiness throwing me for a loop here and there. I still have the CD in a box either in the attic or back of a closet. You’ve inspired me to listen to it again this week - though it’s probably more convenient and better for them if I listen to it on RUclips instead so the band can earn some ad revenue on it…
GREAT album
One of my favorite bands.
Saw these guys open up for overkill in Tijuana Mexico.... Dollar beers and dollar shots good times
HOLY CRAP- you mentioned scatterbrain!! I always thought I was the only one who ever remembered them!!
Ps. “I’m not going down with the ship”
Ludichrist were better!
Saw Scatterbrain and UKJ at the Ranch Bowl in Omaha years ago.
Mike this series is really great! Never heard of these guys before, now I'm searching for a copy of their album.
You mentioned King's X, so I thought about recommending you listen to Tres Mts. that is project that includes Richard Stuverud on drums, Dug Pinnick on voice and guitar (from King's X), and Jeff Ament on Bass and Mike McCready on guitar (from Pearl Jam), their album is really good and not very well known.
Another one I like from top to bottom is Kevin Martin & The Hi-Watts only album "The Possibility of Being".
Hope those resonate a bit with you or the rest of audience... 🤘🤘🤘
Before Galactic Cowboys released their self titled debut, they sang on the King's X album "Faith, Hope, Love" so they have the connection to King's X.
The guitar player Dane Sonnier is very good, the whole band is great.
Hey Mike! You mentioned this band a few years ago in another video and I just had to check them out just by their name alone. I love them still and love the video! Thank you for the suggestion 💪🏼
Loved this band, I thought they were going to break big with "You make me smile" and " I do what I do". Big barbershop harmonies with metal guitars. What a fun band!
Galactic Cowboys! One of my favorites. Saw them several times when they were in the Philly area. Great album. The hidden track, Ranch On Mars, is a theme they carried through later albums. Great band and great guys.
One of my favorite albums. Saw them open for Dream Theater and was blown away.
Kudoz to you for picking up great albums that deserve to be remembered. These heavy af riffs made all my body hairs stand right up!
Really cool analysis of this incredible band!! I’d love to learn these riffs. And btw the Gilmore Girls is an awesome show! My daughter got me into it and I’m hooked! Lol!
Saw this band live at a water park in Texas. Great cult classic album!
Galactic Cowboys and King's X are my two favorite bands in the world. I got to go to GC's last concert right before covid.
GC is so good! I saw them three times including a double bill in Nashville with Kings X.
One of my all time favs
The King's X via Sam Taylor ties got me into the Cowboys (and Atomic Opera) with their debut album.
Don't forget The Awful Truth. That one TAT is a phenomenal and fascinating album (Alan and Monty from GC, before GC, plus the genius David ("Von") Ohlerking who wrote pretty much everything on the album... and played some really weird guitar with some great guitar tones!
THE galactic Cowboys are Awesome and certainly deserve recognition and are underrated/appreciated. King's X is legendary. Atomic Opera is another Sam Taylor product from that era you may enjoy. But really, King's X rules.
You should talk about ween some time mike. They rock.
Were local friends of ours. They kinda lived at my friends farm & jammed in the barn often with many greats stepping in. So odd that Metal influences can become something of their ilk. But twas fun & amazing times!
I saw them 4 times in Chicago and Milwaukee on their first 2 album tours. Amazing live, I never heard them before the first show I saw. I went and bought the disc right away. Half of Monty's bass sound then was a Marshall Artist 4203 head for distortion. Just listen to his opening riff on Why Can't You Believe In Me from the first disc. It was a great band that should have been successful on a larger scale.
Galactic cowboys opening for dream theater summer 1993 water park in El Paso ftw!!!!
hung out with the whole band Monty is a beast!!!
I was aware of Galactic Cowboys but never heard them before. Thank you for helping me see the light! Lol
Over 30 years wasted. 🤦
This is such an amazing album, so great to see it featured! "Circles In the Fields" is my favorite. The first 2 albums when Dane Sonnier was on guitar were my favorite since he had that thrashy style, but even when Wally Farkas took over and they went less 'metal' they still put out great songs.
Hell yeah, Galactic Cowboys are so good. I was the last person to join the official GC Fan Forum before it shut down. I always dip in for 'I Do What I Do' and 'No Problems' when I get the chance.
My wife turned me on to Gilmore Girls years ago! What a fantastic series! How many times did you cry watching it?
Galactic Cowboys, what a forgotten uniqe band from the 90 i absolutely loved them
Oh my god you unlocked a core memory bringing up the three little pigs by Green Jelly.
I completely forgot that it ever existed!
You touch on the hidden track that is on this album……..Ranch on Mars. Wished you played some of this as I always thought it was the best tune on the record. Blown away you are doing an episode about GC though. Great band.
I'm embarrassed to say that back in the day I only listened up through Where Are You Now? because that's all that was listed. I didn't even realize the other 2 were on the CD till years later. :( Ranch on Mars rules. They both have this Alice in Chains vibe too. It's wild.
Heard "You Make Me Smile" on KNAC back in the day and definitely fell in love with it. Got this album a few years ago, just put the full album on my phone and have liked what I've heard.
Talking about versatile humorous bands, Wrathchild America and their album "3-D" is worth searching for if it's not already in your collection.
Oh damn, Green Jello! Only recently found out it was Danny Carey of Tool fame on drums, and Maynard as guest vocals in 3 Little Pigs (singing the high pitched parts!). Nostalgia!
Great album! I had completely forgotten about it.
That was a lot of unlocked memories of bands I forgot about. I've watched Green Jelly every time they came on MTV, that band was cool, and Ugly Kid Joy, who were supposed to be the anti Pretty Boy Floyd...
Bass guitar sounds a lot like the good old S.O.D. and M.O.D. stuff from the 80’s…giver a listen!
I've heard of this band but never listened to them before... they sound killer. Gonna have to check them out more. They have a little 90's Anthrax in them when they get thrashy, imo. If this is a new series, I love it! Also 93 is the year I turned 21 so that's when the party really started for me, lol!
I listened to album to death! I still love all the catchy melodies mashed up against brutal riffs and playful shifts. I wish you had covered Still Life of Peace... what a killer song and a brutally insane cello & sitar breakdown section!
These guys are from Houston and I ran into them several times. In the 90s that was a common Houston sound for bands (melodic, harmonizing, with heavy riffing). Congrats on finding them and thanks for covering them! #HTownrepresent
No. They are from Katy. Get that right and don't forget it.
Monty Colvin has also his project Crunchy which is heavy melodic punk always with some beatles in it, and another band you could listent to beatles wise is BEATALLICA ! A band that mixed metallica ans Beatles song in a most puzzling ways, you should listen to them they were excellent !
One of my all time favorite albums ❤️ They deserve all the attention they can get, so I think it’s great that you made this video.
My brother and I have a podcast (in Norwegian), and in a few weeks we will release a new episode where we talk about «Space In Your Face. We also got to interview Monty Colvin for it🤘🤩
The hidden tracks were so exciting to discover. Apologize for commenting so much
Mate I can't believe you're doing a vid about this album!! Supremely underrated band as were Scatterbrain. Ferocious players.
Would love to do an interview with you some time, I'm starting to interview people on my channel about passion. I have heaps of questions for you!!
Cheers from Australia 🍻
WOW, I thought I was the only one who picked this up when it came out! Back in the day I had no way to audition any of the tracks, I thought the cover and band name were cool so i took a chance! lol BTW picking up some serious Sepultura Arise album type vibes in some of the rhythms!
I’ve never met anyone who has referenced scatterbrain! And I loved that album so much!
Saw them open for Dream Theater in 1993. Bought this album the next day and it is an all time favorite
Complete agree with the assessment here. I also think the the production of the album also has a big part in it. It adds up to al you explain in this video. Especially the drums and bass production makes it very chugging sounding without being 'real thrash' from that era. It's very unique. I think the made more great albums, but this one has always been my favorite since it came out.
That lbanez is sweet.
Galactic love!
Thanks for blowing the dust off those guys!
Early to mid-90s I was mostly listening to bands like Melvins, The Jesus Lizard, Shellac & Neurosis but I still liked a lot of “alternative metal” like Galactic Cowboys, Warrior Soul, Mind Funk and a bunch more. One of the best albums from that side of things is Last Crack - Burning Time…I probably listen to that one more often than the rest.
How have I never heard this before ?! Thanks
