Thank you Nuno, for your praise for King's X. I discovered Extreme's first album and King's X first album around the same time in the 80's. Dug Pinnick is my number 1 bass player and you are my favorite guitar shredder. Who would've thought you guys would still be the virtuosos you are 40 years later. THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE YEARS OF MUSIC!
I worked at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank California for about ten years which is the airport most celebrities travel through when coming to Los Angeles because it's closer to the studios; much easier to get in and out quickly (which is also the reason it's more expensive) so during my years there I got to meet TONS of rock stars. King's X has been my favorite band since Out of the Silent Planet so of course every time I meet rock stars I tell them how much of a big fan I am of THEIR band (first)... and then I ask them if they've ever heard of King's X. They always look at me like I just asked them if they ever heard of food! Their eyes light up; they get excited like "Yeah, man! Are you kidding!? Of COURSE I've heard of King's X! They're amazing!". EVERY rock star I've talked to knows who they are.
Nuno is absolutely correct! i thought i was watching the next beatles when i saw them open for Billy Squier & LA Guns in 1989. King's X are incredible musicians & great guys! All hail The X !! i left the park center before the other two bands took the stage.
Yep, please come home to me Mr. bulbous, but it actually started at the first record and then quadrupled on the secondLol grateful to be in our era with these guys privileged
They are amazing I saw them a few times I also caught you and the band more, YOU are so good live I saw you in different States Your a great guitarist and my ex girlfriends loved you You bastard Lol😂😂😂😂
Met this fucker at a signing he was doing in Arkansas. When it came time for him to sign my flier, I pointed to his picture and asked him who that was. And his response was, "Just some punk." How fucking cool was that!
King's X is a power trio in the same league as ZZTop and RUSH, if not better. personally, I think they are better as they are ALWAYS on their game doing live performances, unlike the other 2. so incredibly under rated, but those of us true King's X fans knows the truth and have since the beginning. if any band deserves to be in the RRHOF, King's X does. indeed.
Yes, RUSH was amazing too. The big takeaway here is that RUSH made millions of dollars, they were huge, they had recognition, many roadies, sound techs, and so on, at their beck and call. King's X is still unknown to many. Which is unfortunate. They deserve so much more, they still tour and do it for the love of music and for their small, but very vocal and appreciative fan base. I do love RUSH as well. I grew up with RUSH. I've seen them live many times, but I've now seen KX more times. I'd say that RUSH does have a lot of synth parts which are triggered by Geddy (I give him a pass as he's playing bass AND singing Hehe), so starting keyboard MIDI sequences with his feet is totally acceptable. King's X doesn't have the keyboard parts yet still manages to sound very full, also with amazing harmonies. Anyway_, yes, both are amazing bands. I wish KX was more well known. Same with a band who broke up in 1994 (Jellyfish), but that's a story for another time.
Damn straight.....he speaks the truth. Wish people would get a clue about king's x....I love all their albums, however, Out of the Silent planet & Dogman are my personal favs
It's funny, because the first time I listened to a King's X album (Gretchen goes to...) I was thinking: "Oh, man! Those harmonies, that guitar... they totally remind me of Extreme!".
100%. King's X is one of my favorite bands of all time. I've seen hundreds of bands live, and King's X is consistently a Top-10 best show. Best blend of heavy, melodic, cerebral, soulful, rock, blues, and harmony all at once. Doug Pinnick's voice is so good that he can sing a mediocre song and make it freaking classic. Also, all three guys are have amazing solo work as well as a plethora of incredible side projects. If you listen to rock music and aren't a huge King's X fan...well, you don't really like rock music that much. ;P They inspired so many other bands. Time to get on board if you're not there already.
Nuno didn't really start listening to King's X until after "Faith Hope Love". He saw them live during that tour and has been a fan ever since. King's X ended up touring with Extreme in 2008 and Nuno has said that it was his favorite tour because they got to share the stage with one of his favorite bands.

"The gospel that is King's X", amen
Best and most appropriate comment award goes too,,,,, @TheBritomart.
A tour in Europa togheter Extreme + King's X, would be amazing! ❤🎉
Nuno quite nailed it..... LOVE it.....
Jay Powell I bought that album on cassette when it first came out. I listened to it so much that the tape broke.
Nuno is absolutely correct! i thought i was watching the next beatles when i saw them open for Billy Squier & LA Guns in 1989.
King's X are incredible musicians & great guys! All hail The X !! i left the park center before the other two bands took the stage.
That's a hell of a show. First time I saw them was opening for Winger and Mr. Big.
Always said harmonies reminded of Beatles
The reason I love King's X is because the talented lead singer is an old buddy of mine, Douglas Pinnick
My maiden name is Linda Lane
of all the "xxx gives King's X Some Love" videos, I think Nuno sums it up best. As usual.
THis from a great guitartist and great vocalist; great musicain all round. Yes, King's X is kick ass...I am on that gospel ship.
PREACH ON BROTHER NUNO!!!! NUNO IS A BEAST ON GUITAR, AND EXTREME IS A GREAT ROCK BAND, SO LISTEN TO THE MAN!! KINGS X IS AMAZING!
Indeed they were so special and their songs were so meaningful and haunting!
Agree, saw them live, phenomenal.
You are spot on Nuno! Kings X is the greatest "3 piece" band to ever walk the planet!
As much as I love Rush, King's X edges them out for me as far as a favorite. Both amazing bands, but King's X speaks to my soul.
They are # 2 Rush is my #1
TRUTH! One of the best bands on the planet.... period.
Era, time or place means nothing........good music is good music. Damn I love Kings X
12 years later ❤
I can understand if someone doesn't like a band, but to have never heard of them is criminal.
Well, I haven't followed this guys career much. I do know that he is a kick ass guitarist. It's good to see sombody give Kings X their props.
Dimebag also a big fan
Dug pinnick is amazing 12 string bass
Dude can sing whistle notes
Amazing harmonies
Most overlooked and underrated bands evah
Yep, please come home to me Mr. bulbous, but it actually started at the first record and then quadrupled on the secondLol grateful to be in our era with these guys privileged
They are amazing I saw them a few times
I also caught you and the band more,
YOU are so good live
I saw you in different States
Your a great guitarist and my ex girlfriends loved you
You bastard
Lol😂😂😂😂
Just YES
I love this!!!
As Nuno says 'listen to the records' King's X rules!!!
Met this fucker at a signing he was doing in Arkansas. When it came time for him to sign my flier, I pointed to his picture and asked him who that was. And his response was, "Just some punk."

rush wasn't on their game?
Yes, RUSH was amazing too. The big takeaway here is that RUSH made millions of dollars, they were huge, they had recognition, many roadies, sound techs, and so on, at their beck and call.

Damn straight.....he speaks the truth. Wish people would get a clue about king's x....I love all their albums, however, Out of the Silent planet & Dogman are my personal favs
He knows wassup.
This is how I found out about King's X, being a big Extreme fan and that! Both fantastic!
It's funny, because the first time I listened to a King's X album (Gretchen goes to...) I was thinking: "Oh, man! Those harmonies, that guitar... they totally remind me of Extreme!".
You can see the Beatles influence on both of them.
.Yess Nuno
Well said that man! Lucky we don't need to catch up as we've been loving King's X music for twenty years or so already!
know doubt!!! KING's X kick's ASS!!!
Fuck yeah Let the music do the talking!

AMEN!!
Nuno + King's X = AMAZING!
if you didn't know that Nuno loved 'em...just check out "Pilots" by Dramagods... could be on a Kings X album...classic greatly KX influenced song...
That Joe Perry reference might be the most kickass thing I've ever heard in my life.
bang on mate.
parts of 3 Sides to Every Story sounded like it was lifted right out of the King's X playbook, Nuno better give'm some love.
Thank you, Nuno; well said.

Thank you! The Gospel that IS King's X. And, yes, agreed, Nuno is hot.
