Rando: Yep, I like King's X... in fact, I would go so far as to say that they are the first "hard-rock" band in forever to come along that I thought were worth listening to. They are a bit limited in terms of their sound, which is pretty un-varied for the most part, and they are somewhat partial to the key of E, but they still kick some serious gluteals. One of my favorite cuts of off _Gretchen Goes To Nebraska_ is "(I Can) Feel the Difference"... really great stuff. Glad you snagged that CD, Rando. :) I have also heard someone say that King's X should be said "King's Cross"... anyone else heard this? The gut that told me this was the same guy that had that _Masked Maruaders_ album... which John never fully explained to me, other than the fact that it was an elaborate hoax. The very first album I ever bought? Must have been back in 1974 or 1975 when I was in 5th grade... ready for this one, folks? The Carpenter's _Now and Then_ (I *think* that was the title... it was a double album of cover tunes, if I'm not mistaken). Of course, a few years later, I was into Kiss, Ted Nugent, Rush, Pat Travers, Styx, Kansas, etc.. So, sue me. :) I'm rockin' in the free world... "n.n."
