Not knocking it, it's just not as impactful for those that want to trip down memory laneThat’s cool I’m glad they’re able to adapt. He’s got a great tone either way

Westland!!!
Been there many times.
My band opened for them that year at The Music Factory in Battle Creek. Good times!I saw Kings X in May, 2018 at a tiny place called the Token Lounge. I was literally about 6 feet from his amp. He had a rack plugged into an Orange Crush Pro 120 2-12 combo. He's such an amazing player. I think he's very under-rated.
Yeah, that was a highlight of my musical life for sure.WOW!!! To open for Kings X??? AMAZING!!!
HECK YA!!!Yeah, that was a highlight of my musical life for sure.
When he is playing at first, he plays a couple riffs off songs from Three Sides of One! That part is cool, but I agree about his tone and that Orange is not it. He does sound like Ty Tabor though, which is awesome.Yeah, that doesn't really sound like any of the classic Ty Tabor tones to my ears either. I personally loved his Dogman era dual rectifier tones the most, but his old tones with the Lab L5 were also pretty cool and quite unlike anyone else out there. These Orange amplifiers sound muffled to me.
They even admit to that, not just phoning it in, but recording albums in pretty dark depression... with an attitude or belief that literally no one cares, so why are we even doing this/what are we doing here? XV was released in May, 2008! You can do the math, 14 YEARS between that and likely their last album.Let’s be honest, they have been phoning it in for the last decade. Can only tune down so low. Total lack of harmonies live is killing it for me. Long time fan, have seen them many times at the peak of their powers. I still support them though.

Recently? Last ten, fifteen years? I’ve seen them many many times live. Progressively getting worse. I could give examples but they are easy enough to find. Live it really started to trail off after the Mr. Bulbous tour.?????
Kings X is known for covering those harmonies on the albums live thanks to the fact that everyone of them is a great singer.
I’ve not seen them live in person, but on Youtube, their live performances that I’ve seen always had Doug, Ty and Jerry singing all those harmonies.
They purposely mixed each song separately on Three Sides of One. They sing fine and aren’t tuned down every song. They recorded another album only because the record label approached them and they negotiated a deal after never even being profitable.Recently? Last ten, fifteen years?

Again love them, but they are fighting the marching on of time. It happens.
New cd? More jammy on the spot type tunes. Sounds like it was recorded in five different studios. They stretch themselves very thin by having so many side projects. But hey you have to pay the bills somehow.
Still would love to have the L5 in the axe someday.
Sure they are, met them a bunch. I want them to succeed, just need material like Gretchen.They purposely mixed each song separately on Three Sides of One.

Sorry I as far as I know everyone who actually knows them personally says each of the three are great human beings.
