About Jackson at NAMM: Jackson was there! The NAMM Show is an annual event in the United States that is organized by the National Association of Music Merchants, who describe it as "the industry’s largest stage, uniting the global music, sound and entertainment technology communities" Check it out with Jackson.
About Jackson:
Jackson began back in the late 1970s, when heavy music experienced a flamboyant and virtuosic resurgence in popularity and a small Southern California guitar repair shop became the epicenter of a new level of shred-approved excellence. Ever since then, Jackson guitars have been universally lauded as the metal guitars; the shred machines-highly original high-performance instruments of distinctive style and formidable substance. From metal’s chart-topping peaks to its darkest recesses, for discerning guitarists all over the globe, Jackson is the only way to go.

[@johnkokinis2313]

Also, I get it if it’s too hard to discuss, but what happened with the original lineup? It seemed like they had so much momentum and of course awesome songs.

[@jamesadams2334]

why did these guys break up? One of the best metal bands ever!

[@Orsthos]

@MiMDMuzik I don't know. Crooked X is a new band for about 2 or 3 years now, and Forrest has been the icon of the band to me. He's just that cool. It's the feeling that he gave of for it.

[@Halid02061995h]

Jesse is my Sons friend and is still playing. They were really great together. Too sad

[@Slayerized2701]

Big hugs on 2020 from Mexico City

[@MrGuitarforyou]

RIP Jesse!

[@reddeadgaming4031]

+Jacob Madden wait what

[@reddeadgaming4031]

+Jacob Madden jesse died? is that why the bands not together!?!

[@MrGuitarforyou]

+REDDead GAMING yeah he passed away fairly recent.. But I think Forrest wanted to do other things is why they broke up but Jesse got sick few years back I think .. I have Forrest as a friend on Facebook and there is pictures and post about it.

[@AlexOnSeLine]

YES ! I ABSOLUTLY AGREE ! I don't like the "new" Crooked X. This band with this band members was the best young band I ever saw. They were awesome !

[@picklevai16]

that scream at the end was badass!

[@NuttyBass]

@JacksonGuitarsUSA Actually, the second song is called Crush It Down.

[@iTerroizeBabies]

@Coginator411 Who cares!? I'm older than him, and he stomps me at drums. RESPECT!

[@deppressedmuuuslimps]

I know Mr. Forrest French! :) I just saw him yesterday!

[@AlexOnSeLine]

"Crush It Down"

[@ironmaidenbro]

If any of you guys have ever watched Tenacious D pick of destiny, the drummer looks like young JB in kickapoo! i swear dude

[@josiahdolowy6608]

why arent these guys gigging? theyre incredible!

[@Eradake223]

That was impressive. Well played sirs.

[@MagnaVision2010]

3:22 classic.

[@adam9875]

[@ronniereed9099]

Just discovered this. The force is strong in them - thought they were some new band / went down read some quick comments, tragic.

[@basssungwoo]

this band is very unique

[@fredericsimione]

reminds me of pearl jam just a little. fresh & young

[@NuttyBass]

@boredpersonthingy Yea, there's a different guy now. Look up one of their videos from 2010.

[@ramirezrulon]

R.I.P. Jesse amazing guitarist

[@FutileScreams]

Good guitar player but a huge dickhead. Rest in peace but he was my brother in law and I still have his Peavy amp till this day but he had his major drug problems that lead to his demise.

[@Vanished_Mostly]

You can tell Jesse (lead guitar) liked the second song much more than Gone.

[@ToReignToShine]

nice guitar Forrest.

[@super7o]

exactly

[@doycohamco]

This is sick! (in a good way)

[@yepuhuh93]

It's like a mix beetween nirvana and stone sour,

[@Bassplayer037]

Crush it Down...

[@quimbygod]

as a manager/promoter and musician myself, I have follow this band for a few years after being turned on to them by Donnie Frizzell, I was very impressed with this band in the early years because they were doing the style they liked before, they had a Skid Row edge with an original hard drive sound, now it seems someone or something has steered them away from this, stick to your true guns guys, dont try to be something because of someone tells you or tries to make you. Get back to the rock!

[@WhitewaterDrummer]

These guys need to come to Canada. If you've played Sweden you can play Canada.

[@BrandonCecilx]

@metallicCenturion Crush It Down...I believe

[@EricWilliams-dq1wd]

Rip Jesse

[@Sam-px8le]

Who’s here in 2022 thinking what could have been 💔

[@Mlua9]

2023 :(

[@Orsthos]

@XuiXiu I think Forrest is doing some kind of side project. Not sure about the bassist.

[@TheBestGuitarSoloEVR]

This reminds me of southern rock mixed in with some glam metal riffs and whitesnake for some reason

[@rebelsoul33]

theyre still friends of mine

[@2mynameismud]

In the second song, the singer sounds just like Chuck Billy.

[@DenIrriterendeDreng]

Its too bad that the lead singer isn't in this band anymore, and Crooked X will probely disapear from this world :( Unless they will return in a coupel of years, that would be awesome! ..

[@Ckay9126]

Cant find these chaps on Itunes UK?

[@Guitardude81597]

@GZBULLET what do u mean they changed nightmare?

[@cherikimbel76]

[@jeffrivera6]

is the vocalists guitar a real rhoads(model) guitar? i mean, i think the upper horn on his guitar is a bit shorter than a regular rhoads guitar..or is it just me? hehe..thanks.. :)

[@NuttyBass]

@boredpersonthingy I agree but Forrest is Crooked X for me. Without him, it's not the same band.

[@Stnnr19]

Crush it down! I'll never forget this video

[@mikem376]

[@chayceharrison]

fucking sick ass performance thumbs up if you agree

[@thomguls]

Alexi Lahoi used Jackson for several years before he swapped to the esp models he is seen with today, just because his jackson guitars were stolen, and Jackson said they needed a year to make the new guitars, and esp said 3 months. I know my bodom facts! ;P

[@Samyboy03]

whats name the second song ?

[@kyle33093]

your thinking of black tide

[@NuttyBass]

@boredpersonthingy The singer and bassist are different guys and the drummer got his hair cut way short so he would look different. The lead guitarist still looks the same, though.

[@SmoreCrunchStudios]

What ever happen to them after they broke up?

[@ramirezrulon]

Kameron Stephens lead guitarist passed away a but others went on to form other bands that didn’t really do anything

[@dragoIBZ]

how old is the drummer? (5?) _theyr good tho_

[@LorTayTheGreat]

Anyone know what the last song called????

[@kiethveseyofficial]

[@Coginator411]

@Darthlisp thats boomer, hes around the same age as the rest of them

[@NuttyBass]

@boredpersonthingy It's not the same lol it's a little shorter.

[@Neal85]

Wow man Forrest and Jesse so powerful here. The first day I heard gone I bought your self titled crooked x. Now The sharon sharpe band???!!! Wtf Coop no offense bro but I had hoped you would continue this path. The sharpe band can't even be compared to the awesomness of Crooked x!

[@kiranb13]

[@thomguls]

[@777james]

No. Alexi plays esp guitars

[@Guitardude81597]

@bloodybastard25 ik i finaly find a great modern band i like they break up

[@Orsthos]

Also, Forrest kinda reminds me of Dave Mustaine. Haha

[@blackblurable]

Why did they break up? And who exactly left? My friend thought they were going to be a big band after we heard them have a song on rock band a long time ago. He did his research and said the guys were kids when they came up with that song Nightmare which kind off rips Wasted Years from Iron Maiden. Both intros

[@jeffreyharrell6112]

Demo Derby

[@jeffreyharrell6112]

From what I've been read is that Forrest (lead singer) & Josh (bassist) can not say why they left, do to a contract that was signed. I don't know if this is true. But it does seem kind of odd that we haven't heard anything (video,Q&A,etc.). I know some websites say they left to finish high school. I don't know. It would be nice if they could tell us or explain what happen. I mean other bands say what happen and why they broke up. These guys were on a roll & going places, and then they split. I wish they would get back together. This is one of my favorite bands, the original Crooked X.

[@CSawMe]

They broke up bc forest parents had a lot to do with it, they spent most of the money given to them and it's caused tension between the band. I know this bc the Jesse brother is one of my good friends.

[@themodernguitarist]

+blackblurable Their singer found Jesus and started a christian Deathcore band. Not sure what he's done after that.

[@racer24t]

Blu Forrest started a Deathcore band? What's their name, troll?

[@TreeTopVantage]

lol why is there like a little kid as their drummer?

[@Blacktide112]

Black Tide is way better The singer has a pretty good voice

[@paintore]

These guys should have milked it til' the udders fell off. They could have been the next stone temple piolets, QOTSA, smashing pumpkins, etc... of the new generation. Shame. So F'kn good!

[@NuttyBass]

@MiMDMuzik I don't know man. The new singer isn't anywhere near as good as Forrest.

[@Orsthos]

Sucks that Forrest left the band. As did the bassist. Looks like Crooked X is already gonna change for the worst.
