Galactic Cowboys

I was wondering what others think of this band? I love the first three records.

i liked them up until Machine Fish... after that they sort of went south.

I like all their CDs. The "Feel the Rage" EP rules! Love the KISS cover on that one.

On "The Horse That Bud Bought", the song Evil Twin is easily one of the coolest songs they wrote.

I picked up their first cd just out of curiosity for 2 bucks. I like it!

SPACE IN YOUR FACE!! I love a handful of songs from the band, cool guys to hang with-TJ

I'm just getting into them. They're an insta-discography from lala.com. I got them all in about 2 weeks through lala. The Horse That Bud Bought hasn't arrived yet, though. Either way, I really dig them. I had no idea what they sounded like before adding them to my wants recently, I've only heard that they were a great band.

Closest musical comparison would have to be King's X (who I'm a big fan of), though that's not completely accurate, I think they're heavier. The melodies are dead on, though.

I'm impressed.

Dooble poost! Bork! Bork! Bork!

I don't like Kings X, but I liked Galactic Cowboys. Explain that one! Haha.

1. You don't like Doug Pinnicks voice?
2. You like their heavier more metal sound?

I really like Machine Fish.Great groove metal,but their latter releases started losing me.

Same here. I tried listening to King's X, but it just never clicked with me. And a buddy gave me cdr's of Ty Tabor's solo stuff which I enjoy very much. Explain that! But enough about them.

Galatic Cowboys. I only recently discovered them, and WOW!! What a band. Love them. I picked up all of their albums (except Space In Your Face) really cheap on ebay. I think all told, I got their entire discography, except SIYF, for about $12 bucks total. A couple of 'em I got for a penny, just paid for shipping. Since they're all new to me, it's hard to pick a favorite just yet, but after listening to The Horse That Bud Bought one time, I had the song "Evil Twin" stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

I am not real familer with them but love what I have heard. When I was in 7th grade a friend of mine had a bunch of their albums and I remember really liking Space in your Face.

If you guys like Galactic Cowboys or King's X, also check out Atomic Opera.

Just added to my wants on lala. Never heard of them.

I'd better like them!

Have everything they did. The first album is still my favorite. We used to cover "If I Were A Killer" back in the day, it gave me a chance to fire up the old 12 string bass, even though Monty did'nt use it on that song.

GALACTIC COWBOYS were insane live....

Eyesore, you'll dig ATOMIC OPERA...I think.

Gospel Cola is on its way to me. Just confirmed within the last 30 minutes. So we'll see...

I love the first 2 Galactic Cowboys (and King's X), but I never got into Atomic Opera - the CD is Ok, not one of my favs

I am the exact opposite! I do like The Awful Truth (pre-GC), though.

No two Atomic Opera albums are exactly alike. Should have mentioned that their lyrics, not unlike some King's X and GC, are based on Biblical ideas.

so, is Kings X "safe" as far as, not shock/satanic lyrics?

T-Roy,
give "Faith Hope & Love" a chance. I think you'll love it both for the lyrics and the music. Also I'd recommend, "Gretchen Goes to Nebraska" and "Out of the Silent Planet" for those who prefer Christian lyrics.
