DOWNLOAD - Free King's X live performance of "Complain" from Headbanger's Ball, 1994!

[Yesspaz]

Hang on to your butts.
Here's a downloadable King's X live performance of "Complain" from Headbanger's Ball in 1994. Limited time only. Nice.


Also, there are tons of new photos of the band with supporters like Paul Shaffer, Dimebag from Pantera, etc. and lots of pics of the recording of the new album. Some of them would make killer avatars and wall-paper, RnR!

Man, these guys are busy...


"BT: What are the 2004 plans for King’s X?

DP: We are trying to get the live DVD and the live double cd out. We’re hoping to get them done by the end of the year."

[Bob Lentil]

The live DVD was called off, just so you know.

[Yesspaz]

Poop. Where'd you hear that?

Strike one: file served improperly as a text file. (needed to go through special gyrations to save it)

Strike two: file is proprietary M$ Weendoze format. (requires a freeware viewer to play instead of native tools)

Strike three: File is encoded with a new M$ codec (WMV3) which is not available.

Thanks VAX...............as it was one of Spaz's recommends I didn't want to anyway now you've saved me the trouble of ever trying out of guilt.

Just joshing Spaz..............you know I like a lot of the stuff you mention. (Especially if Rick says it's good too)

Never mind kirk. I know a good therapist who can help.

[Yesspaz]

I've watched it twice. Sound like VAX's apple is, uh, under-par?

..and you haven't availed yourself to them why ?

besides, you don't think i'd let one of those brit doctors
treat me do you?

sorry, king's x is just a bit of too straight ahead
power barre chord rock for my tastes.

oh yeah, the girl from "bananarama" called,
she wants her hair back.

i'm just having fun w/ you guys.

That particular song, Complain, falls in that category, I'll agree. And I've never accused King's X of being a prog band on the same "progginess" as King Crimson. But if you listen to their albums, I think you can safely say about 40% of their output fits firmly in the prog realm. Don't forget that Ty Tabor runs with many prog-metal musicians, forming bands like Platypus and The Jelly Jam. Yet even their "straight ahead power barre chord rock" as you put it, is miles beyond others of that ilk. Vernon Reid of Living Colour (this guy is one of those rock musicians who know a lot about music!) said of King's X, and I paraphrase,

"The thing that blew me away about King's X is how complex their arrangements are, without ever compromising the melody of the song. Their songs appear simple sometimes, but when you really pay attention, the arrangements are amazing."

Something like that anyway. That came from the VH1 Top 100 artists of hard rock countdown.

It should be MIME type application/octet-stream. Sorry to inform you but M$ Weendoze MultiMedia Video is NOT plain text.


It is this braindamage in M$ browsers to blindly run anything based on Billy's "better-than-standards-NOT" way of believing a file is what it says it is by virtue of it's presumed file extension.

BTW, under-par is a good thing...

Only if you're swinging a club and trying to hit a ball into a little tin cup.

Man, you know I have no clue what you just wrote there VAX. All I know is it works for me and doesn't work for you, and you say MS sucks. I don't know about computers, but that's backwards to my brain.

And yeah, I guess "under-par" was a stupid way of putting it. Don't know much about golf either.

Neither does Micro$oft!!!

... and M$ does suck because it does work in this case. You'll never get it but your computer will... along with viruses, worms, trojans and myriad other security problems.

[Yesspaz]

Heh, I did get a worm the other day that Norton couldn't fix, so I had to take care of it myself. Took four hours.

[kirk]

you have to stay off those porn sites yesspaz.

[Yesspaz]

Well, we all know how kirk gets his viruses.
