Killing songs: Julia, She's Gone Away, Charlie Sheen (?!)
This kind of music reminds me two monster in the history of rock 'n'
roll : The Beatles & Kiss. On our interview, King's X reply on this
comment : "There is no Kiss influence, but I understand what you
mean : it is the groove part of our music that reminds you Kiss' music
style". We couldn't say it any better.
I don't thing we can "classify" this type of music with metal
style. It sound so "quiet" and King's X music is a very mix
of "Beatles meets Kiss" ... or let's say it this way : it's
heavy ("Marsh Mellow Field", "à la" Nirvana,
melancholic ("She's Gone Away" & "Charlie Sheen"
chorus will remind you the Beatles) and totally timeless ("Julia").
Overall, it is a "quiet music". King's X continue to be innovators
and don't follow any trend. That's called : character.
