Kings X - opinons wanted

[SCpoloRicker]

hAyO,

Buddy of mine won tickets to see Kings X tonight up at Slims in the City. I haven't heard of them, and wanted some opinions and/or descriptions of the band. He described them as "old-school rock and roll", which really doesn't help much.

/Fear Factory was awesome on Thurs

Fear Factory? Awesome?

Eww....

Now, what was awesome, was Gwar last night. My whole body is red and green.

[SCpoloRicker]

Yes, Gwar is also fun. I wussed out and wore a raincoat when I went.

I've never heard of these guys, and its an hour and a half to get up to SF... you heard of them?

Almost forgot.

I really wouldn't waste my time seeing that band.

I'm sure there are some fantastic shows within the same radius you could see.

[SCpoloRicker]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass... checked out there site, and wasn't impressed.

/Slayer blood > Gwar blood

[Eric Cartman]

I think that if you're a Slayer / Fear Factory / Gwar fan, then you made the right choice by skipping the show. I don't think you'd have enjoyed it. While I couldn't describe their sound, they haven't got much in common with those bands you mentioned.

Kings X is a puss band. They suck. I can't even believe that they're still around.



GWAR? They're still around? Holy Crap!

[Muzikman]

I know this is late, but...

I have been listening to Kings X since the early 90's. They are a very talented band and put on a great show. But, they surely are not a "youthful" band.

As for GWAR, they are still around, but none of the members are original to know knowledge.

D'oh. Shoot me a PM with your email addy. I'll let you know next show I'm headed for.

I actually thought SYL was the highlight of that night.

edit: I don't know that I'm "youthful" anymore, Muzikman

[evildead420]

The singer and bassist are original.

Gwar's been around for 20 years now.

Yup.
Saw them a few months ago.
Spectacular show.

Left blue and Green.

Hmm, has this always been the case, or did they come back after a break. I know in the late 90's I was told by a friend who was one of their "slaves" that there were no origninal members left. I have been to a few GWAR shows, but I know very little about their music. They are just fun to watch (I perfer the back of the crowd though).

[evildead420]

yea, i missed gwar when they came out here. i went to Rolling Stones / Metallica instead free tickets are cool. i see them next time for sure.
