    How sad is the state of music when King's X can't make a living with what they do?! One of the most, if not the most, underrated bands of all-time! Everything dUg does is gold!

    Sometimes in life you look back and realise how lucky you were to be in the right place at the right time - in 1991 I saw King's X support AC/DC in Glasgow, Scotland. I instantly knew watching Kings X that I was seeing the kind of band you only get every now and then. Great songs, amazing players and what really blew me away was that all 3 of them sang in harmony perfectly in all the songs. It sounded like 5 guys on stage but it was only the 3 of them creating this amazing sound on amazing songs. I immediately bought 'Out of the Silent Planet' and 'Gretchen..' and I was blown away. I played my 'Gretchen' cassette constantly until I had to buy the CD!
    Every single King's X fan cannot understand why they never got far, far bigger selling millions of albums but sometimes I like that they are not too popular - it still feels like they are a 'secret' band that only few people know about and I don't want them to turn into something like U2 or Metallica in terms of numbers, I love that I really dig this band that still so many music lovers are unaware of. I do want them to be financially ok because compared to some high-selling crap music out there, these guys are just legendary to me. I hope I get to see them again some day but if it does not happen, at least I'll always know that 'I WAS there....' Peace.

    Dug Pinnick - 63 in 2014. Man I can't believe it - he looks so youthful and he hasnt changed much. It'sUnbelievable that this band can't make a living at what they do. They should be huge - incredible band. Great, great musicians. I am so looking forward to seeing them at the Sage, Gateshead later this year.

    For the longest time Ty Tabor's sound/tone was so incredibly awesome and he kept his amp's a complete secret... Finally he let it out that he had some old Lab Series Amp's and I realized that I used to have one of those solid state rigs. Great sound.

    well, KXM charting as respectfully high as it has been could shake things up a bit for the king's x world..i kind of had a feeling that X wasnt making a living because they tour so sparingly..but its true, the industry is like that. ive loved king's x since 1990, they are so versatile, truly talented. really good to see dug livin' the dream. love to dug always!

    I love Kings X but Dug simply gets on my nerves. Lives in LA, owns at least one house elsewhere and yet he claims to be broke and was e-begging for money for medical treatment. He's pissed his money up a wall and then has the nerve to ask fans for money like that. At 63 years old he should be ashamed of himself.

      sourcescience Fuck you! Do you think he's a multi millionaire? KING'S X has never had a gold record, a hit single, never sold out an arena, apparently you didn't hear him say "we can't make a living bieng KING'S X!" The number one cause of bankruptcy in America is medical emergencies. Why don't you just start barking out loud, you would make more sense.
