Under appreciated band. Reminds me of when Hollywood was lit with Punk , Ska n let's not forget Hair Metal!! It's L.A. Baby!!

[@cesarmiranda7696]

🤟🤟🤟....

[@susansturgul1236]

X opened for The Psychedelic Furs in Madison, WI--July 2022, and they were ON FIRE! Having gone through my college years in the mid-80s, they sucked me right back into the best decade ever!! Listening to them endlessly today!

[@jamesstoltzfus887]

Tomorrow night for me in Seattle Looooove it

[@Saintinkz]

Seeing them tonight 8/14 at the OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa Ca, been a while since i seen both bands can't wait

[@gregfechik4275]

I couldn't justify paying for a ticket when they were an opening act for a band I hated. I had to settle for my daughter interviewing John Doe a couple of months ago and exene last year.

[@FOCKTARD]

That sounds like a great show!

[@Stadanco]

Is Exene singing‽ I'm a wicked fan, but.

[@sangdangdoodle]

what a great band .... saw them many times from the early 80's on .........

[@jessehook8762]

One of the top 5 American Bands... In my opinion.

[@zeldapeax8311]

Absolutely!

[@LaurenLawDawg]

[@markatsvensson]

Definitely.

[@astraluna6is9]

Great opinion 🇺🇸

[@johngalt2466]

Them and the plugz

[@68rbj]

Sunset Strip in the 80's was such Pandemonium kids everywhere Representing their Genre's of Music Punk, Metal, Glam(as we called it), Thrash, etc. Girls everywhere with those Huge Hairstyles Man I miss those days

[@etherashe5164]

No killing either, right?

[@l.salisbury1253]

One of my favorite West Coast LPs from Punk's classic period (c.77-83)- a list that also includes Dead Kennedy's "Fresh Fruit", Dickies' "Dawn of the Dickies", Germs' "(GI)", Red Rockers' "Condition Red", TSOL's "Dance With Me", "Black Flag's "Damaged", Bad Religion's "How Could Hell Be Any Worse" and Circle Jerks" Group Sex"...

[@tamjordan1]

I saw X in a small venue in Oklahoma City in 1980--The Bowry. One of the best damn shows I've ever witnessed--and Exene was drinking tequila out of a liter bottle on stage. Never forget it. John Doe was infuckingcredible on the guitar. 61 years young and I will always love X.

[@darbymorrison]

Billy Zoom was infuckingcredible on the guitar. John Doe plays bass. He's pretty good too ;-) I'm seeing them in 2 weeks opening for The Psychedelic Furs.

[@AdamFriedberg]

I saw them in a bar in Hartford CT in 85. $3 tickets. Probably the best show I've ever seen. Stood right in front of Billy Zoom's amp and shook his hand at the end. Couldn't hear for days after

[@etherashe5164]

Billy Zoom is a monster! I used to play bass in the old days, and I always did the spread-leg Billy Zoom pose when I was playing. And that creepy assed smile ....@@AdamFriedberg

[@GlaceonStudios]

I think Los Angeles has become my new comfort song, honestly.

[@ggt47]

Because of Grand Theft Auto.

[@GlaceonStudios]

@@ggt47 I've never played the game, so I don't think that's completely it so much as just discovering it and really liking it.

[@jessehook8762]

When I was 19 I loved this album and played my cassette tape until it wouldn't play1 anymore... Now at 52 married a couple of times with kids and realizing that SoCal is the only place in the U.S. that I can live and be accepted for who I am in my community.. This album gets better as I get older!!!

[@justintime752]

Soul Kitchen! Amazing tribute to The Doors

[@johndelmont8279]

Ray Manzarek of the Doors produced X's first four studio albums...

[@Gloomydaysny]

Man I fucking love Nausea, such a banging tune

[@travisr.9789]

agree

[@kklouzer]

Manzarek's organ playing sealed it up perfectly...

[@kklouzer]

Exene has such a nice Siouxie vocal vibe on Nausea.

[@CBCDs]

Great Doors cover

[@faeries_Wear_Boots]

One of my first albums. Hell yea. 🔥

[@ottog.garcia7765]

I love this band they were the best band of LA I remember going to the whisky a gogo on Sunset in Hollywood or difrent night clubs

[@etherashe5164]

Oh I hate you! My ex was an LA gutter-puck back in them days and saw all the great bands playing at the Whiskey et. al.. Sadly, I grew up in NASCAR country.

[@belloalterno4695]

BUT YOU'RE NOT!

[@davidbridge9267]

I saw them with my friend who didn’t really like punk but it was his birthday he’s no longer with us rip!

[@morgenlefay]

Damn just hearing this months later but never disappoints

[@AndreaTrani-yt8ig]

Exelente banda Punk de los 80

[@agatelicker1095]

Ohhhh! Thank you for such a high quality upload as well!

[@_m_m_m7900]

Great band, great Record! Produced by Ray Mazurek.

[@0oidiedinatimemachineo024]

This band is pretty great kinda had their own sound compared to a lot of other CA punk bands at the time. And I love female singers in punk rock.

[@MatameVideos]

CA punk was usually gloomier and grittier, a bit goth sometimes, these guys were like Rockabilly on steroids and fun edge to the rebelliousness

[@godloveszaza]

The us made punk so sound doesn't really matter

[@tonytedford7762]

Ya...talent.

[@drunvert]

Billy Zoom was a rockabilly guitarist. EXene had never sung before and didn't know what harmony was. She made up her own version

[@etherashe5164]

Rockabilly on steroids. Good one. I used to play Shit-billy. Kind of the same, but more cuntrier.@@MatameVideos

[@josephrayle4598]

Great album!

[@rudyholguin4044]

I roadied for them in the (80)s the Brat opened up we had back stage passes I wander if they would remember me Rude VEX I played in a band called the VEX

[@etherashe5164]

Damnit it all to hell ... it cracks me up how many "punk rockers" don't know who the fuck even X is. They are gods!!!!

[@scottmccune8608]

One of the best punk bands ever.

[@MozartFucker]

I've just discovered this band after watching a Ray Manzarek, I never knew he played on a Punk album, it's a very good surprise, great music, great vocals. I love it.

[@nexusfilm6ist]

Me too

[@gregorylevine1850]

Never knew that either! Cool anecdote.

[@etherashe5164]

Yeah, he discovered them. Ray was a bad-ass genius!

I found an X 'Los Angeles' shirt at the Goodwill Bins today here in Portland Oregon. It's got the lyrics on the back as well for all the songs. Went to kill some time after going to the dentist and getting a filling. They said you can't eat for 2 hours, so what else is there to do, when the Bins is a few blocks down the road. Might as well stop in! Originally bought this album on CD at Jackpot Records on Hawthorne 20 or so years ago and the 2nd one as well. Things back then w/ punk and all were harder to find, so you had to spend money to hear stuff and it was also hard to find good records. Not every place would carry "punk" or have a punk section. If you found something good or found an album you'd seen on a t-shirt somewhere you'd probably consider buying it for the rarity. We did have Napster/Soulseek back then, but not everyone had CD burners, so you bought stuff. X is coming to Salem Oregon later this year. Might go. I know they play here in Portland Oregon every year, never have gone. Maybe the time is right. The place they are playing, Elsinore Theater, built 1926 looks pretty cool. Well, have a excellent day! Much love.

[@PuNkJuNk63]

Dude if u discovered PuNk now & u like it, then u should start of NYC 70'S PuNk & stay few years in USA! Believe me that's the real deal !

[@pulledtrigger]

Hardcore punk took over by 1980 dividing the scene with drunktard tweakers and straight edge douchebags. Imo straight edge hardcore grew into me with minor threat making the most impact in hardcore by non intentionally making a new movement with the song called "straight edge" their powerful lyrics grow into you after quitting drugs and booze. I listened to minor threat getting high and drunk all the time singing along with friends but by the time my peak youth ended and everyone going on there own ways their lyrics hit me like a cannon

[@wilesdukedubose4431]

[@OroborusFMA]

X were the Punk extension of The Doors. When I listen to Doors cuts like "Land Ho!" and "Cars Hiss By My Window" I can't help but think of X. And on this one you have Soul Kitchen and Ray playing keyboard on some of the tracks.

[@etherashe5164]

Well uh ... Ray Manzareck discovered them and plays keyboard on a lot of their tracks.

[@beachcomber3036]

After X Los Angeles . I Saw X & Romeo Void in Eugene Oregon 1981🌲 Turned John Doe on 2 MDA .. Followed Them 2 Portland Then Eureka California. Where The DKs East Bay Ray's 🎸 Mom Lived. Dead Kennedys Played Alot in Eureka.

Which refuse to escape I could say it stronger But it's too much trouble I was wandering down at the bricks Hectic, isn't it? Down we go, cradle and all No one is united And all things are untied Perhaps we're boiling over inside They've been telling lies Who's been telling lies?

WTF is Fat Possum? This record was released on Slash Records.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

LOL CRAP!

[@transitiondesert]

This album is severely overrated, ruined by Ray Manzarek and latent racism. Billy Zoom and Exene are fairly terrible people. I used to love this band til I saw the forest for the trees. This album, though, has always been overrated. The next 3 are so much better.

[@CrashExhibition]

Elaborate?

[@richardcaul5787]

Lol, If you're referring to the lyrics from Los Angeles, you totally missed the point of the song. And just no to the other stuff.

[@OroborusFMA]

LOL has to be one of the more ignorant posts I've seen on KZbin outside of MAGA/Shapiro/Jones channels. This is a five star punk classic. If anything is overrated it's Wild Gift. I find it boring compared to Los Angeles and More Fun in the New World.

[@Commenting-answering]

How can you not love their almost, but not really, off-key harmony? And how in the hell did Exene marry both John Doe and Viggo Mortensen? Just kidding. Nice when men value creativity and talent.

[@suckinspongebobs]
