Masterpiece Revisit: ‘Over My Head’

What a freakin’ great band King’s X is. Just amazing. Often said one of the best bands never to “make it,” which I guess means get too rich for your own good, battle alcoholism, and at least once get divorced and/or issue an album of complete shite. Okay, not in every case, but you get […]

King’s X: ‘Dogman’ All Killer, Tabor’s Rig

King’s X: ‘Dogman’ All Killer, Tabor’s Rig

Get To Know Doyle Bramhall II

Get To Know Doyle Bramhall II

Doyle Bramhall II is one of the best blues guitarists walking around planet Earth.

X and X Live

I was fortunate that a friend got tix to last night’s King’s X/Extreme (in that order) show at NYC’s Fillmore Irving Plaza. Follow is my “review” — just my experience, really — but the bottom line was that both bands were very good. King’s X opened and they were awesome as usual. What a great, […]

You might be way ahead of me here, but I gotta say it: The new King’s X album is out! One of the world’s best bands. Can’t wait to see them again. If you didn’t know, they’re opening (I believe) for a reunited Extreme this year. Hear clips from the new disc by going to […]
