What gets me is King’s X has been at it since 1979, they never attained worldwide success yet they’re still putting out albums even today. They may not have been as popular in name as other bands, but they definitely earned their respect from the music industry, who still puts them on albums, and from their fans, of course. Some have said that they sounded like a mix between Living Colour and Alice In Chains… but they were around long before those bands ever existed. They’ve earned their place in music history.
It's sad that after 20 years as a die-hard fan, I'm just now discovering "official" videos by these guys. I think they were victims of miserable promotion (mostly from Atlantic...I think Metal Blade has done an admirable job), and a sound so heavy, yet melodic that most people can't understand where they're coming from. .
@@evanurena8868 Even rock radio, I got booted from my local radio station's FB page for saying they were boring and maybe needed to stop playing Green Day 50 times a day.
These dudes are the real deal. I've seen them 5 times and whether they're headliner or opener they always wreck anyone they're on a bill with. They absolutely destroyed Porcupine Tree when I saw them open for them and that says something. And then they're at the merch table after the show. These boys earn their money.
I met them in a club in Jersey about 6 years ago. They’re as down to earth as they can be. They acted just as excited to see me as I was to see them. It’s hard to believe a band which I consider to be one of the greatest of all time can be so humble and “normal” lol. It was like talking to my uncles or something 😂
Not to be "technical" but NO metal/hard rock band Ever mixed major and minor keys into a song like King's X did/does! It's Just Fkn' Teeth-Gritting-ly Gorgeous!
Agreed, liquidbraino! I've Always considered Alice In Chains' music & vocal harmonies to be (again) Gorgeous -- especially on the "Dirt" album. And Layne Staley was Easily one of the Best hard rock lead vocalists of All Time!
What fun they had doing this. Heart warming to see my favorite band doing what they love. I have to watch a thousand times to catch all of the funny faces & motions. King’s X 4 Life.
Among their outstanding musicianship, is their 3 part vocal harmonies. Their voices together are so complementary it's almost hard to fathom how rare that truly is.
watched a lot of mtv in the early ours in the morning in the nineties , had a job in construction begin/mid 90s . there was a lot alternative music on . gave me a boost trough the day , this was one of the tracks that was played a lot then
I received this song free with a sound card driver CD in the 90's and I always loved it. Why can't this be played now on the radio- well maybe it is but I will not hear it since I refuse to listen to radio with the music that is played now.
I can understand and accept that their first few albums were perhaps a little too artsy for a mainstream crowd, but how on Earth did they not blow up anytime during Dogman to Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous? They have so many should be hits just from that time period alone.
I remember this song coming with some software way back when. Can't remember if it was Realplayer, Winamp, or Windows Media Player, but I'm pretty sure it was one of those lol.
I'm a HUGE King's X fan. Probably caught them live seven or eight times in the Chicago area. Okay, so this video is not "the coolest ever;" nevertheless, these boys rock! Great vocal harmonies as always. Hoping Jerry is getting healthy after his recent heart attack.
the year is 2021. Record Store Day, 2nd drop: July 24th. Tape Head and Manic Moonlight finally on colored vinyl, reissued by the Finnish label Svart Records. Mr Bulbous will be released on RSD Black Friday, Nov 26th. these albums are also going to be released on black vinyl! - -
Rock perfection from Kings X is this track !!! Also , check out ," Doesn't Matter Where Or When ," an original rocking song and video on my site . Thanks , Adam Holtz
There are so many bands that are way better than the garbage you hear on the radio I don't even listen to the radio anymore but this is an example of a band that should have been played at least back in the day

Chris Alfano Thank You. Songs like this need to be on the mainstream radio more often. I cannot stand this new age Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj music.
+Evan Urena Fuck the radio, and fuck both Taylor Shit and Nicki Minaj.
I have a VHS tape I bought in the 1990's with a lot of their videos on it.
same !
@@evanurena8868 Even rock radio, I got booted from my local radio station's FB page for saying they were boring and maybe needed to stop playing Green Day 50 times a day.
This band should be in the same conversation Rush and any other trio you want to bring up....freaking brilliant musician's 👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️
Ty's tone is so freaking BEAST MODE
OMG ... it's so consistent and just kick ass ... so underrated!!
The drum mix is as perfect as it's going to get. Long time fan.

Now there's a gig I'd like to see.

I heard a story where they opened for Motley Crue and when they were done just over half the crowd left at the same time.
I listened to this album probably thousands of times when it came out. Watching this today takes me back, so awesome.
I love this song so much, it hurts.
If you see this,I'm hurting with you,my skin just crawled off my bones...Kings X 4life
just makes perfect sense that they are grooove dancing and air goofing to their own jams
just as the rest of us should be..hell yeah
Not to be "technical" but NO metal/hard rock band Ever mixed major and minor keys into a song like King's X did/does! It's Just Fkn' Teeth-Gritting-ly Gorgeous!
Alice In Chains did a lot of that but in a different way (slightly harder edge, not quite as melodic).
Agreed, liquidbraino! I've Always considered Alice In Chains' music & vocal harmonies to be (again) Gorgeous -- especially on the "Dirt" album. And Layne Staley was Easily one of the Best hard rock lead vocalists of All Time!
It probably wouldn't surprise you that the lads in Alice in Chains were fans of King's X.
@@liquidbraino Alice in Chains did it because they heard King's X!
@@brydykes1537 Yep
Those harmonies!
This was the first thing I ever downloaded from Napster!. I bought the cd the very next day.
Love that slow, funky groove 😉
What fun they had doing this. Heart warming to see my favorite band doing what they love. I have to watch a thousand times to catch all of the funny faces & motions. King’s X 4 Life.
Proving once and for all that the best bands never make it big. King's X will never sell out, so they'll never be huge.
Such an underrated band.
King's X- the short hair years.
This was also the period where Dug came out of the closet.
And shorts
Dogman II
Among their outstanding musicianship, is their 3 part vocal harmonies. Their voices together are so complementary it's almost hard to fathom how rare that truly is.
watched a lot of mtv in the early ours in the morning in the nineties , had a job in construction begin/mid 90s .
there was a lot alternative music on .
gave me a boost trough the day , this was one of the tracks that was played a lot then
Their book brought me here. Longtime fan; didn't know this video existed until reading about.
I'm about 1/4 through the book right now.
Finished today. I love them even more now!
Эта великолепная песня, заслуживает особого внимания. 🎸🔥🤟
Always and forever the best tripsters!!! Miss your beautiful faces.
forever Ty forever
Really one of the best
The guys really got that "dad at the hardware store" look going for them in this one 😂 love it
I used to watch this on laser disc. So glad I found it again.
one of my favorites from this monster band
most of my musician friends know about kingsX, the rest I have the pleasure of turning them on to one of my all.time favs. studio and live.
Despair destroying, hope elevating, man the fu#k up and love and appreciate your woman song !!!!!!!
Everything they do ... pure awesomeness. Get better, Jerry!
They never disappoint.
Brilliant Geniuses Masters of Everything Musical Gods Magical Time Stops and The Skin Crawls off My Bones...Fade
If you're a kid, you get a fisheye lens, and you have this much talent, do this.
Jerry plays some mean air guitar!
King's X should have been HUGE!!!
I received this song free with a sound card driver CD in the 90's and I always loved it. Why can't this be played now on the radio- well maybe it is but I will not hear it since I refuse to listen to radio with the music that is played now.
This makes me LMAO. They are a riot.
To me, these guys are magic!
“I don’t need to fit in, like I did way back then.”
WOW!!! I never say this before! Brilliant! Thanks for posting!
They’ve basically a Heavy Metal / Hard Rock Beatles, Grand Funk Railroad!
And better than all-of-the-above.
underrated king's x tune...
This is actually my favorite King's X tune so far.
King's X themselves are underrated.
Love to see anyone having that much fun! Bravo! I have laughed and laughed... thanks guys
This one is hysterical.
you are referring to the video and not me right? ;)
The video for sure. :)
Remember that song from back in the day, nevera Saw The video. They reminded me AIC. The video is funny, they don't care too much, that's always good!
Groove!
I can understand and accept that their first few albums were perhaps a little too artsy for a mainstream crowd, but how on Earth did they not blow up anytime during Dogman to Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous? They have so many should be hits just from that time period alone.
Kings for life
great song!!
I just noticed that the tape in the kid's wagon is Spinal Tap. About 42 seconds in.
The kid reminds of Alex Lifeson in the red coat?????
siempre una gran banda
This vid= so contagious!!!
Fuck...Jerry has a kick a snare hi hat + crash/ride and sounds better/fuller than all these double kick big kit jokers...Just Wow...
I remember this song coming with some software way back when. Can't remember if it was Realplayer, Winamp, or Windows Media Player, but I'm pretty sure it was one of those lol.
I listen 2 this song on a CD burner drivers demo hahaha
This is ROCKK!!
Wonder how many folks are living under that same bridge in 2022?
Great!
I'm a HUGE King's X fan. Probably caught them live seven or eight times in the Chicago area. Okay, so this video is not "the coolest ever;" nevertheless, these boys rock! Great vocal harmonies as always. Hoping Jerry is getting healthy after his recent heart attack.
just plain killer.
freaking awesome song, love Tape Head anyway. // any chance for a remastered vinyl release? ;)
the year is 2021. Record Store Day, 2nd drop: July 24th. Tape Head and Manic Moonlight finally on colored vinyl, reissued by the Finnish label Svart Records. Mr Bulbous will be released on RSD Black Friday, Nov 26th. these albums are also going to be released on black vinyl! - -
One fish eye lense & KINGS X

The Best!

Kings x
Good!!
Grunge King.
Killer.
Meaty sound
... Is that Tom Green?
haha
Arcterion No. Tom Green is a asshole!
Nice! I had no idea there were any videos from Tape Head. Any from Please Come Home, Mr Bulbous?
Not really. There is a smudge video but not sure it is an official video.
THE KINGS........ AND?
fuckin cool band!
dUg dancing like a pole dancer: Golder.
i will be nice
because...
Back when Ty was Michael McDonald.
@Kkrouton Lol.
Amazing band. Only thing missing is a master lead vocalist. If they would have had someone of the caliber of Cornell they would have been huge.
I like cornell butDug is way better in my opinion.
Que feo corte de pelo de Dug. Lo paso por ser del Gran Maestro Dug.
