Was spinning The Best Of King's X today (now) and was reminded why I love this band so much...best band in the world.
Random question: Why has King's X never been on SNL?

Because back when SNL actually put on edgy or underground bands, King's X didn't exist. In the later years, King's X weren't mainstream enough.
Heck, maybe the band didn't want to be on that show? They seem to have some integrity. SNL is lame. Or maybe Lorne Michaels is a d*ck.
Maybe they were on SNL in some alternate universe that we are not aware of.
Eh, I dunno. I'm just killing time now till it's time to leave work.

I figured being on Atlantic for Dogman & Ear Candy that management would have tried, at least...but if I recall, Ty said Atlantic did ZERO promotion for the albums once they hit the streets....

That always sucks when big rich companies, who have it in their power to market things properly - don't.

They were on the John Stewart in the Dogman daze............
I remember hearing "We Were Born to Be Loved" played a few times as a commercial bumper by the CBS Orchestra on Letterman!

They still play that as bumper music - I remember hearing it recently on Letterman.

I could be wrong but I could swear King's X played on Dennis Miller's short lived late night talk show in the early 90s... I think that would've been around the time of the self-titled album if memory serves.

King's X rules! They normally play to crowds of under 1,000 in America. Isn't that sad?!

I'm not sure it will be anytime too soon. They just released one a little more than a year ago. Before that - it was three years prior.

I'm thinking the live DVD will precede a new album anyway...plus, they're not using Michael Wagener again...I think they'll be going back to the Metal Blade years...writing all the songs as a band and recording on their own...

I actually prefer Ogre Tones to XV...not by a wide margin, but there's just something about OT that really gets me...especially the song "Sooner Or Later"...

There are new exclusive items available from Molken Music:
Tales From The Empire - Cleveland 6/26/92 (2CD set)
The Bigger Picture - this is the pre-production recordings for the 4th album, the band prefers these to the finished LP.
