Galactic Cowboys live

I used to love this band in high school.

I'm surprised they didn't record a live lp.

I saw them open for King's X in 1996 in Raliegh...they were fantastic...cool guys too.

I had Monty & Alan sign my Awful Truth CD and they looked completely shocked that anyone had it...LOL!

I saw them open for Overkill, then saw them open for King's X on numerous occasions. They were always a fantastic live band, and as I've said before they never quite captured that sound on their studio albums.

I saw them open for KINGS X in the fall of 1989. They were incredible...the thrashy parts were done almost acoustically and the sound was so unique...I watched release charts for the next 2 years waiting for them to release an album and when the debut finally dropped, while it rocked, I was let down as it didn't live up to my memories of that show.

They are one of the best live bands I've ever seen!

Awesome band. It's a shame they never made it big. Their debut, Space In Your Face and At the End of the Day are my top three from their catalogue.

To me they were a unique mix of the silliness of Faith No More, the harmony of the beatles and the energy of Anthrax.

me loke

Never could really get into them. Liked their KISS cover thuogh....

I caught them live twice. Once opening for King's X and another time playing a headlining show. Both shows were great!

Oh man, I love the Galactic Cowboys! I had an obsession with them for years! I tracked down all their discs and listened to them over and over. It's really too bad that they didn't get the success that they deserved. I think I'll have a GC marathon the next few days. Great band!

I think it's way cool that a kid your age loves this band so much! There's still hope for the next generation after all.

I love these guys caught them twice with King's X! Is Monty is doing his Crunchy Project? Alan Doss plays drum on the new Galea album

Monty's been doing the Crunchy thing since Galactic broke up ten years ago.

I wish I would have known about this band back in the day. I too, have spent part of the last couple of years tracking down all their stuff. I learned about this band (and many others) through NLTM. Thanks, ult for the indirect introduction!

These guys were just flat out awesome!!!

I agree that much of what made them great live never fully translated to an album, but those albums are still awesome and I still spin 'em all on a regular basis.

I'd also recommend Monty's Crunchy albums. I like 'em all.
Also, if you listen to Monty's podcast, (which I recommend), he always seems to leave the door open for a GC reunion.

It's also apparent as you read through his personal website that he was/is very proud of his GC days. I hope that a reunion happens with an accompanying tour!

I've been listening to his podcast for a few months and it's entertaining and funny. I email him with questions sometimes and by accident i gave him the idea for his hair metal episode a couple weeks ago.

Go see them tonight in Austin Texas or Houston tommorow if you can! You will not be sorry you did! I saw them in Dallas last night and they played over 20 songs!

I'm really bummed that I couldn't make it out to Texas to see their reunion show. I'm hoping though that maybe they'll get excited about the band again and put out a new album.

Same here, dude! GC rule!

I love GC! Seen them several times live and they put on an awesome show. Great guys too.
