^Strange band that is. They just didn't fit in anywhere during the early-mid 90s. They tried though. They got a decent push from MTV twice and it just didn't work.
On any music site when you see a thread titled something like "Which band should've been bigger?" their name is guaranteed to get mentioned on the first page by someone.

King's X was a nice melting pot of stuff. Great songs, vocals, playing. They were musical yet could be heavy. They could write accessible pop. They had serious Christian themes throughout their lyrics. They were basically too broad to be put in a genre and marketed. They are one of my favorite bands.

Just went to this show Friday night...highly recommended if it comes your way. John Mayer can really play a guitar, when he has good music to play. This was the encore which, coincidentally, was the encore at Jerry's last show back in 95.
Whole show:

I need to give this band another chance. Never cared for them and their attitude/schtick wore thin very quickly for me. They also talked a lot of shit back then about Justine Frischmann/Elastica which did them no favors in my book. They were just jealous that Elastica were huge here in the States briefly and Oasis couldn't get arrested here at the time.
I do love Champagne Supernova. Never realy bothered with anything else. I thought the whole Britpop thing was overrated and preferred Elastica and Echobelly over Oasis, Blur, Seude, etc.

Amazing. The bass is sublime. I wish Soundgarden would either cover this or even better.....just steal the bass line and compose a new song around it.
He is one of the artists I've always wanted to dive deep into their discography but never got around to it. I think its time.

Now I'm all for nostalgia, reliving your youth, yada yada, but there comes a point where it might be going too far.
That is the very definition of phoning it in. No chemistry, shit vibe, obviously not enjoying it(look at the drummer's face for crying out loud), and its just awkward seeing these grandmas perform We Got the Beat in 2016. Hell, I didn't even know they were still together. It's actually surprising since Belinda could easily do a solo tour and perform these songs herself. I don't know the story behind any of this but I assume LIve Nation(or someone) just threw a nice chunk of change at them to do a tour and they said yes.
