King's X - Fade (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

[@KevinR1138]

What gets me is King’s X has been at it since 1979, they never attained worldwide success yet they’re still putting out albums even today. They may not have been as popular in name as other bands, but they definitely earned their respect from the music industry, who still puts them on albums, and from their fans, of course. Some have said that they sounded like a mix between Living Colour and Alice In Chains… but they were around long before those bands ever existed. They’ve earned their place in music history.

[@deluge71]

It's sad that after 20 years as a die-hard fan, I'm just now discovering "official" videos by these guys. I think they were victims of miserable promotion (mostly from Atlantic...I think Metal Blade has done an admirable job), and a sound so heavy, yet melodic that most people can't understand where they're coming from. .

[@evanurena8868]

Chris Alfano Thank You. Songs like this need to be on the mainstream radio more often. I cannot stand this new age Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj music.

[@dw89music73]

+Evan Urena Fuck the radio, and fuck both Taylor Shit and Nicki Minaj.

[@SchardtCinematic]

I have a VHS tape I bought in the 1990's with a lot of their videos on it.

[@madpriest7822]

same !

[@roguelead72]

@@evanurena8868 Even rock radio, I got booted from my local radio station's FB page for saying they were boring and maybe needed to stop playing Green Day 50 times a day.

[@paulgrogan8032]

This band should be in the same conversation Rush and any other trio you want to bring up....freaking brilliant musician's 👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️

[@MajorUpgrade]

Ty's tone is so freaking BEAST MODE

[@JDSquire]

OMG ... it's so consistent and just kick ass ... so underrated!!

[@alexandertaylor1745]

The TapeHead tone was probably his worst and it still sounds awesome

[@JackH-wz1do]

nah black like sunday (producers fault most likely) was the worst, FHL, dogman and p,c,h,m,b have tys best tones ever imo.

[@carriontorch8564]

Not to be "technical" but NO metal/hard rock band Ever mixed major and minor keys into a song like King's X did/does! It's Just Fkn' Teeth-Gritting-ly Gorgeous!

[@liquidbraino]

Alice In Chains did a lot of that but in a different way (slightly harder edge, not quite as melodic).

[@carriontorch8564]

Agreed, liquidbraino! I've Always considered Alice In Chains' music & vocal harmonies to be (again) Gorgeous -- especially on the "Dirt" album. And Layne Staley was Easily one of the Best hard rock lead vocalists of All Time!

[@EarendilStarsailor]

It probably wouldn't surprise you that the lads in Alice in Chains were fans of King's X.

[@TiltedBry]

@@liquidbraino Alice in Chains did it because they heard King's X!

[@faustinogarciabassplayer3174]

The drum mix is as perfect as it's going to get. Long time fan.

[@julio_scissors]

These dudes are the real deal. I've seen them 5 times and whether they're headliner or opener they always wreck anyone they're on a bill with. They absolutely destroyed Porcupine Tree when I saw them open for them and that says something. And then they're at the merch table after the show. These boys earn their money.

[@Gorbyrev]

Now there's a gig I'd like to see.

[@johndardi1334]

I met them in a club in Jersey about 6 years ago. They’re as down to earth as they can be. They acted just as excited to see me as I was to see them. It’s hard to believe a band which I consider to be one of the greatest of all time can be so humble and “normal” lol. It was like talking to my uncles or something 😂

[@PaulJohnson-vn7eh]

I heard a story where they opened for Motley Crue and when they were done just over half the crowd left at the same time.

[@TheBritomart]

I love this song so much, it hurts.

[@gnargnarbobo6133]

If you see this,I'm hurting with you,my skin just crawled off my bones...Kings X 4life

[@coheedfan1012]

I listened to this album probably thousands of times when it came out. Watching this today takes me back, so awesome.

[@wesleydickens9283]

Those harmonies!

[@williamlomasney5835]

just makes perfect sense that they are grooove dancing and air goofing to their own jams just as the rest of us should be..hell yeah

[@thefunkyhammer]

This was the first thing I ever downloaded from Napster!. I bought the cd the very next day.

[@cheerwhiner7829]

Love that slow, funky groove 😉

[@sonic-therapy9495]

What fun they had doing this. Heart warming to see my favorite band doing what they love. I have to watch a thousand times to catch all of the funny faces & motions. King’s X 4 Life.

[@Thindoublechin]

Such an underrated band.

[@IraSiegel]

Their book brought me here. Longtime fan; didn't know this video existed until reading about.

[@liquidbraino]

I'm about 1/4 through the book right now.

[@IraSiegel]

Finished today. I love them even more now!

[@Mercury-Wells]

Proving once and for all that the best bands never make it big. King's X will never sell out, so they'll never be huge.

[@jerry1977]

watched a lot of mtv in the early ours in the morning in the nineties , had a job in construction begin/mid 90s . there was a lot alternative music on . gave me a boost trough the day , this was one of the tracks that was played a lot then

[@computarman]

I received this song free with a sound card driver CD in the 90's and I always loved it. Why can't this be played now on the radio- well maybe it is but I will not hear it since I refuse to listen to radio with the music that is played now.

[@jimburgess9205]

They never disappoint.

[@thepotatochipbag3801]

The guys really got that "dad at the hardware store" look going for them in this one 😂 love it

[@MrJommins]

WOW!!! I never say this before! Brilliant! Thanks for posting!

[@dexenationgracey1979]

I can understand and accept that their first few albums were perhaps a little too artsy for a mainstream crowd, but how on Earth did they not blow up anytime during Dogman to Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous? They have so many should be hits just from that time period alone.

[@ianmclellan1328]

King's X should have been HUGE!!!
