King's X "Sometimes" (Promo) 1987 taken from my personal copy

[@jasonmcloughlin5373]

Amazing- what a band.

[@jimmyd12001]

Great band, great song. Love it 🤟

[@CircleDeCinco]

That singer has an insane voice

[@prunepurple]

I think it's the video they sent to Megaforce before signing and Jon Zazula played it to Eddie Truck asking if they should sign them. Cool video!

[@gman6135]

Wow this is a pearl. Thank you for sharing.

[@erictripton]

Perfect tune to define how this band hit the scene. Was refreshing and unforgettable.

[@briansmith3983]

Thanks for this. Great. 1987 I was still youngish. They are still great. Why they are still the best band nobody ever heard of is a crime. Should be millionaire superstars. Just from work ethic alone. Not to mention insane talent and hard work.

[@liquidbraino]

That's a totally different guitar solo than what's on the album but I like it. It's a Ty solo.

[@smflyboy]

Wow, another great find. So cool to hear these early tunes knowing how they would continue to hone in their craft on future albums.

[@JS-pg7eq]

They were amazing. I was just doing my annual listen to Gretchen Goes to Nebraska. It's mind blowing how good they were on that album.

[@tednugent1100]

Awesome find! Always been one of my favorite songs of theirs

[@antrygis1]

Thanks for the post man. I bought their first LP. The enthusiasm of the Kerrang writer and our similarities in musical taste led me to take a chance and buy it even though they were as yet unknown in America at the time. Saw them at the Cubby Bear across from Wrigley Field on a Thursday night. Had ear plugs in and was about 3 feet from the stage.

Great post- takes me back to 1979 in ‘Doug’s’ band just before Kings X!! Look at the energy in Ty back then!

[@davidkoblentz]

"servant" was the band I believe you are referencing.

[@psw6392]

This sounds totally live, and outstanding. I feel for dug though because we all get older and the rigors of touring has taken a toll on his voice.

[@davidkoblentz]

especially when you are singing too high for your natural register all those early years

[@joemomma3063]

Fab!

[@liquidbraino]

01:48 "Hey!! Did you get yours?" Maybe I'm reading too much into it but that's what it looks like Doug's saying.

[@claymonster5807]

Oh man, these guys are amazing!

[@vernetexon4914]

Awesome and thank you very much for sharing.

[@GetzGoth]

Dude, this is an awesome post! They look a little like the Village People here but that's ok cause they still look better than me. Seriously though, thanks for posting this. Cheers!

[@DrTomoculus]

Thank you very much for uploading :)

[@amptechron]

Never seen this before, thank you!

[@davidkoblentz]

it is out there but I always wanted to convert my copy... I will try again after I get every bit of dust off it and clean the VCR heads... I'm not happy with the distortion, the Summerland promo came out soooo clean I want that here. I have a promo copy of It's Love also, coming soon, thanks for visiting.

[@sourcescience]

This is better than on the album.

[@longhorn2615]

Sam Taylor all over that.

[@GlennGerard]

Please post Quality Control.... Havent heard it in ages!!!

[@davidkoblentz]

I'd love to but I don't think the band would be cool with that... feel free to contact me on Facebook though

[@beansandcornbread]

Ego, do you know when this version was recorded? Is it just a very good demo?

[@davidkoblentz]

that's why I recorded that little bit with my phone, the tape just says "1987" which is a little before the actual album... and they certainly did not play exactly to the track (like the solo, hah), only the band can (maybe) answer that. I do have the OOTSP demos... I will try to listen to it and let you know, thanks for stopping by, trying to upload more stuff as I now have a setup to convert all my old vids.

[@ogam5]

@@davidkoblentz: David, HOW could Warner's NOT have included THIS as part of the forthcoming package???? I just DON'T get it.....

[@passiontwisted]

Damnit, the demo sounds better than the record.
