King's X - We Were Born To Be Loved

[@datamasked623]

If life was fair, this band would have been huge.

[@ungoliath69]

Eric Pederson they were sold as a Christian metal band when they're neither metal nor entirely christian. Hard to grow with that marketing strategy.

[@ScottvanBreda]

agreed!

They are huge to me

King's X...one of the greatest bands of ALL TIME!!!

[@MrSkydog]

Sincerely the greatest outtro ever!

[@gornhorror]

Kings X is one of the greatest bands ever to play!!!! Period. If you say different you have never really heard them. Great music, great musicianship, and great message. If only the music industry had embraced them back in the day, then more people would know this.

[@gornhorror]

I think I know one of the reasons why Kings X music is so special. In addition to just rocking the house down, their songs speak of God, love, acceptance, respect, good will, faith, etc. They are a very, very, very, very, very special band. Their music just raises you to higher level of being. One that I hope we could all achieve. "He remembers how well nobody cared, he was alone, with everybody there, he took a chance and got out of there, BUT ALL HE WANTED WAS LOVE." ......Priceless.

[@dmax3270]

Mmmhmm. Facts.

[@DrummerDavidEisenberg]

still love it...wow.

[@ponyyak68]

OMG!! If Jimi Hendrix were still alive this would be his favorite band!!

[@seanaudi13]

Doug is.......the perfect bass player. So amazing. The band plays together so perfectly. Breath-taking. That ending..holy shit. Just saw them in Chicago recently. They were flawless. I seriously wanted to cry when they played this song.

[@RHINORyan92]

Gosh damn they rock! Id love to see them live!

[@seanaudi13]

Oh my.....that's so good. The absolute best that rock/blues has to offer.

[@VeeinBerkeley]

If you know music in any real way you can’t help but have your jaw drop at this random and rare band : technical brilliance, deeply unique creativity, and soul like a gospel effing choir. If you know anything about rock and metal you’re probably like me and just worship theses guys and everything they do and have done

[@Fretworx]

One of the greatest songs they ever recorded!

[@sambocryptic]

One of the sickest grooves from one of the world's greatest bands. I saw them last night in St. Pete in a club that held 150 people and stood right in front of Dug all night. Like having them play in your freakin living room. Badass band and great guys!

[@william4art]

AND THE BEATLES SAID....ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!! What a great album!

[@zemog630]

For sure. This band has been putting out great music for 20yrs. They should of been mega-stars by now.

[@sonic-therapy9495]

The greatest performance of the greatest song ever written.

[@glennnizich]

I've seen these guys about 5 times and it only gets better!

[@kpsnyder59]

This tune flat out rocks! I heard them play this in Fort Wayne at Piere's a number of years ago. One of the best rock trios-raw, creative, tight vocals and so much energy. I would love to see them again before they hang it up.

[@elusivetones]

wow - these guys are so tight with their timing especially at the end - the sync looks so effortless

[@JonGjerde-u1f]

Brilliant performance! Wonderfully strange, powerful, uplifting music. Great great band.

[@thejester1008]

saw these guys yesterday th the silo in PA!! They did this as their encore. It was perfect, and amazing. The don't even look at each other when they pause. Shit was crazy! Doug was even posing for pictures and talking to us lol these guys were fantastic

[@paulknapp6967]

They’re the tightest band I’ve ever seen live. The instrumental part at the end of this song, I saw them play it and they weren’t even looking at each other!!!!! They all were right in the pocket. Most impressive thing I’ve seen a live band do.

[@seanaudi13]

Words fail. These guys are a level above the rest. I started listening to them when I was 5 yrs old and their sound will never get old. I've met all 3 of them several times. Just the greatest guys and band of all time.

[@ricadrew]

Long after these guys are gone, somebody will take this sound and spread it and all the heavy bands will be playing off this vibe and they'll give it a name and call Kings X the fathers of this sound. Kind of how some people may say that Muddy Waters is the father of the Blues. This is how far ahead of the times I think these guys are, people just can't deal with it yet.

[@stringbender11672]

unbelievable band. have seen them live numerous times and met them before and they never disappoint. I will always love KING's X!!!

[@chronosynclastic8]

Once again may I say how much this song just flat out rocks. Amen, Hallelujah, and pour on the bass.

[@ninjajo11]

Saw it lastnight night at HOB Orlando. August 15. They rocked out !

[@lambertearnhardt68]

One word: TIGHT!

[@hvfp]

awesome. found out about them today and have been bing listening to them for hours, LOL

[@awlzac]

+hvfp just discovering king's x.....oh damn....you are in for a treat. i am kinda jealous :) one of the best, most passionate, soulful yet heavy bands ever. have fun!

[@thepromiseofsleep]

Okay...my God. That was amazing.

[@zemog630]

You are right! Unsung heroes for sure. They freaking rock! But as long as we know how good they are , that's all the counts.

[@wwgt]

I am ashamed to say , that I, am from Houston.. we as a town.. Much Love to Kings X Never did get behind .this greatest of bands !!

[@itsjohnnymillion]

Always brilliant. The audio here is spectacular.

[@mllruss1]

Seen them several times. Have most of their CDs including side work. They are really special. If they come near you, see them. If you can, buy their music.

[@FREERIDERmusic]

This song says it all. I love King's X for their ambiguity about the whole subject and their ability to debate the topic lyrically. Huge inspiration for my band FREERIDER, as songwriters. Peace & guitars.

[@JimHabash]

saw them in 94 in Columbus, awesome show in their prime!

[@Rondozza]

god bless the groove. god bless kings x.

[@knightvalin]

This was the type of band that when people were throwing around bands from that era, they'd drop Kings X into the mix and everyone who knew, knew. A good friend of mine saw them in Montreal and told me it was the best show he had ever gone to. Absolutely nothing fancy, no big lights or pyro, just spending the night with one of the tightest , road hard bands that existed. Evidence? Check out the last portion of this clip. They never look at each other for cues. the false ending is classic. Fade to black , and one more hit. Check out the looks on their faces...yeah, they know they're that good. These guys should have been household names, period.

[@glennnizich]

Helmet wasn't even a thought when these guys came out, so respected by a lot of musicians all over, and one of the best shows of all time, I've seen them about 6 times, its a religious experience.And hey they did a hendrix sond remember the last woodstock, look it up.

[@robram2025]

That's a fantastic story! Sounds like a killer ass evening w/ our boys King's X! Be cool Tank of Texas!

[@linoner76]

They are most CERTAINLY a live band, we all have bad nights, try them again and you'll be in for an amazing experience I'm sure. Ive seen them at least a dozen times, they are phenomenal live! Tight as hell!! 3 pc POWER band!

[@mina7560]

THEY PLAY REALLY WELL!!

[@jamestolson1884]

saw them live at m3 blew every band away even akiro frm loudness went to their set and was cheering them on ,thats respect , true greatness

[@panchoceronte]

great work ! King's X Forever !

[@AlanLeviYYZ]

You're right... I'd like to sing like Doug. I'd like to play like Ty too! There was a time when i practiced a lot, to play the guitar as Petrucci, Lifeson, Blackmore, Hammet... but now i think Ty's style is kinda unique, and really atractive. Great guitar skill, great composing, great voice. Ty Tabor rocks!! Doug rocks!! Jerry rules!!! King's X rocks!!..."The greatest band you've never heard of"... one guy commented that somewhere, about King's X. It says it all!

[@swistone]

The best 3 piece band in the world along with Rush.....

[@zemog630]

King's X is for sure the best band around. They just never had any luck with their record companies promoting them. They should of hit it big back in the early 90's.

[@ideazinc]

In a time when most guitar settings were either squealy or flat, Ty brought a sound that re-inspired many guitar players to get technical and tweek their effects. Myself included. I think they are an excellent band and I was truly inspired by them musically. Although I do not much care for their beatles-sounding harmonics, they are indeed astounding musicians. Lost in Germany is my favorite song.

[@epickett63]

Yeah, I got a chance to see them live once - awesome timing, musicianship, and they honestly look like they're having FUN! :-)

[@Kruezoraxe]

I gotta say, that bassist and vocalist should be a lot more famous than he actually is

[@zentura88]

This is one of the few label bands I'll drop what I'm doing to go see live in the area if they are around. They're that good live. I've had to have seen them at least 20 times by now.

[@probos1]

Epic, epic tune.

[@MrSkydog]

Seeing these guys in September,I sincerely hope they play this & with this ending, just absolutely epic!!!!

[@johnapryorjr]

The ending was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ponyyak68]

WOW That ending!!!!

[@petefiedler8805]

This band is huge. And, yeah life ain't fair.

[@dcore64]

I love these guys soooo much.I remember when I was younger and people would say todays music sucks and I would play "faith hope love" or "Gretchen goes to Nebraska" for them. They would always stand corrected. Or wake up an hour later after being knocked unconscious from the severe ass whoopin they just took. There is always... Something good out there. Get off your ass and look.

[@justherb666]

Let's not forget fellow Texans ZZ Top. This live version really captures the CRUNCH and POWER of their live performances.

[@otcconan]

Tightest band EVER

[@scoobwick69]

Screw everyone, KING'S X has no peer, no comparison. They are one amongst themselves.

[@SlyHobbit]

Man you ain't even kidding!

[@stephencoleman4424]

Very good Young Grasshopper!

[@prince696]

Outrageously Righteous Rock! This is so well done it's just sick! My heart breaks for Doug and I keep them in my prayers.

[@glennnizich]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@sonic-therapy9495]

Truth Is Life.... I see what you’ve done there. 😎🤘✌🏽 (A line from Junior’s Gone Wild).

[@AlanLeviYYZ]

King's X ROOOOOCKS!!! BEST FUCKIN' TRIO EVER!! My respect from Chile to King's X!!!

[@AlanLeviYYZ]

F*ckin' best song ever written in history All hail King's X!!

[@andyman9407]

Breathtaking timing, lyric, power, tone and song. Sadly, in all these years nothing came close to KX. I was really hoping something came along to topple them from the greatest podium of rock. Just from a selfish perspective. Nah. It never happened. I'm beginning to feel it's my fault now. If only I'd tried harder. George Harrison. Prince. John Lennon. EVH, J Brown. Dayum. All would have been blown away by Jerry Ty and Dug. I'm old, and seen them all. But nothing compares to this. Once in a lifetime offering to all life, missed by everyone. So sad.

[@chronosynclastic8]

Holy Shit!!!! That bass could move planets!!!!

[@zentura88]

What an edit! Holy cow! Friggin genius!

[@jasonchristy3391]

Where metal and funk got it's start. Influencing the sounds of A LOT of bands including Korn.

[@iannetta11]

TIGHT!

[@j.guerra7060]

Classic rock period! much love

[@malootchky]

King's X rulezzz 4 ever!!!!!!!!!!

[@Snake7Plissken]

When they starts to really kick in from 3:12 and forward is awesome. Seen them twice here in Sweden (where I live). Wish they could make it over here again, if they're in shape. Heard some bad news about Jerry's health, anyone out there knowing anything about it?

[@adreenal]

Immense, intense, perfecto. The real X Factor!!!

[@gornhorror]

Whoooooooooo yeah.....I'm seeing these guys in a week. It's been way too long.....

[@DEERPOACHER1]

+gornhorror Tonight in Sacramento, Ca. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@seanroxDOTcom]

Best Rock Outro EVER.

[@diegomolineroolschansky8930]

I love it...great

[@robdavidson1876]

True they had some real talent

[@AirForceVet76]

long live the kings!!

[@JakeChimera]

Jerry Glaskill is fast becoming my fave drummer...I would hate to be one of his tom-toms....OUCH

[@Groovebelly]

Hell YES!

[@danyeo]

DAMM, that sound is MASSIVE.

[@JohnLRice]

Great editing job!!!!

[@Menyhard]

Get them into the. Rock and roll.. hall of fame

[@00govan00]

That last pause at the very end and the last chord.. Greatest of all Time lol

[@steentompkins]

Take out your checkbook and support this band. Be a producer...an underwriter or what ever the hell you want to call it. They deserve it...they've given so much to us. It takes money to tour...fuel, food, lodging, etc.

[@beagledebby]

favorite track on FHL.

[@wilkyx]

@gornhorror very true, the harmonies sound a bit out here though.i was lucky enough to see them on the faith hope love tour in manchester,england....awesome!!!

[@moosemanuk]

@gornhorror Well said. I would correct you slightly though .... Kings X is THE greatest band ever to play.

[@sirjakevoth]

damn true! the second band i ever saw live in my life. it has still a undiscribable trauma on me :)

[@RedRemedyXTC101b]

......"And here comes the bridge, like James Brown", Love it! These guys are so fuckin cool, just like James Brown ! Awesome song, played TIGHT.

[@justherb666]

@truthislife I've seen Paul at many of their NYC shows, he lives right near me and I see him all the time. I hope to catch him to talk about KX one of these days.

[@vaisatchatrucci]

Hey thanks! :) WOW! a BEE!? ground breaking shit right there! Man how are you so on the cutting edge of music? You blow me away!

[@A247LOCKSMITH]

great jam

[@tweedledee5613]

Doug's bass sound is so sick!

[@gornhorror]

For those of us that saw them at the Stone Pony this year...JERRY...JERRY....JERRY!!!!!!! :) Well, anyways, THERE IS NOT A BETTER BAND ON THE PLANET... PERIOD.

[@vaisatchatrucci]

I think old jerry's improvisational days are over fortunately. Man you are right he's just so much better. Kings X is horrible and all your music is the BEST EVER! Ok can I go home now?

[@jjkinva]

Triumph too!!
