So, let it be known, I'm a huge King's X fan. Thanks to Yesspaz. I too, am depressed, with Doug's message. I know that many good bands will never achieve the same level of success as the media darlings. But to hear someone who seems like a good man being THAT depressed, is depressing.

Interesting position about their music (which I have yet to hear). And this is why I do like AM. I don't really care too much for hard rock, and if I get in the mood for it, there are many other places where I can hear it. Thanks for what you do here Jim. I would only add that I think Doug can be entitiled to his feelings after all the work it took to do what he and his band do....that took a chunk of their lives, and sweat and dedication, and to feel like it's underappreciated could be very depressing. I saw this more as a moment of frustration and blowing off steam.

We'll have to discuss this one at the next concert over a beer or three.
Speaking of that, I believe Pat Mastoletto was at the Coach House with a band I never heard of recently... (ooops, that's a topic switch!)
