    KXM - World of awesome

    Von posted a thread last year about the KXM album featuring Dave's long term drummer/band leader now with Korn Ray Luzier, King's X bassist/vocalist dUg Pinnick and Lynch Mob/ex-Dokken guitarist George Lynch.

    They have since released a few excellent videos and I've finally had a chance to listen properly to the whole album and it is tremendous.









    It would be a shame if they don't do more with this.

    It really is good stuff. Too bad they're not touring with it. George went right into a project with the guy from Stryper and Dug has another cd out with a band called Grinder Blues. These guys are project happy. Better than sitting on your hands though.

    George just released the Sweet/Lynch CD a few weeks ago. He is a busy man. I know a lot of people on here bagged on the Sweet/Lynch clips that were posted before the album came out, but I think it's good. It's typical 80's style. By the way, our friend James LoMenzo played bass on this album.

    As far as KXM goes, I absolutely love that album. It fucking ROCKS. It is NOT traditional 80's sounding at all. It sure as hell doesn't sound like anything George Lynch has ever done with Dokken, Lynch Mob or Sweet/Lynch. This album has garnered some attention for these guys, and they have been asked to do some live shows. Ray is just so busy with Korn, and has a new baby on the way. The timing just hasn't presented itself. He did say there may be an opportunity to do some shows with the Winery Dogs. That package has been presented to them in the past, but the schedules just wouldn't allow it. I think a KXM/Winery Dogs show would just blow people away.

    Not one word about the gay, black bass player, huh Von? I'm just fucking with ya.

    Dug really is kicking ass these days. I'd like another King's X cd, but it really seems as though that's just a touring act. They're all into separate projects these days, plus Jerry has been having some health scares.

    Spending all day at college with kids can't make you feel like you are getting younger.

    Looks and sounds like recovering meth addict rock to me.

    Usually when you describe a rock record as ‘contempoary’ you’re using it as a synonym for ‘confused’ or ‘characterless’, but in the case of the debut record from KXM – a three-piece comprising Doug Pinnick (King’s X), Ray Luzier (Korn, David Lee Roth) and George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob) – it is meant with as a genuine compliment. Here we have an album by a band who have taken influences from the entire 45 year span of your record collection and rolled them into something which is very much their own. At times gritty, bluesy or grungy, KXM is a heavy record on which each member restrains their ability to show-off and instead focusses on penning some damn fine tunes. Where so many ‘supergroups’ chase the glories of their past (Audioslave, Velvet Revolver) here is one in which the group is bigger than any ego involved in making it.

    Opener ‘Stars’ has plenty of guts in the bottom end and is heavier than many will be expecting, a blast of gnarly hard rock with a very raw feel to it that is instantaneous. The voodoo blues of ‘Rescue Me’ is also like a shot to the chin, and comes with the sort of chorus that would be all over the radio in a fairer world. The songs are propelled by Luzier’s idiosyncratic rhythms to make them loose and very groove orientated, with the space between the pasts making the performances breathe and pulsate in a very live manner. When ‘I’ll Be OK’ kicks in there’s plenty of menace and bit, and the swing of ‘Sleep’ (which is one part grunge, the other gospel) makes for something mighty powerful. Pinnick’s vocals may be limited, but they positively drip conviction (see ‘Never Stop’ and ‘Burn’).

    KXM is a record that rewards multiple spins, and the band have a sound that is both fresher than you might expect from guys this far into their careers and pushes beyond anything which any member has done. The emphasis on feel over flash is executed perfectly: in many ways, this may be some of Lynch’s best playing – not in a ‘oh-my-God-how-is-he-doing-that?’ kind of way, but in the sense of how much impact his guitar has here precisely because it’s both dialled down and locked into the weight of Luzier’s and Pinnick’s rhythms. It seems that you can teach old dogs new tricks.

    All we can hope for now is that we get a chance to hear these tunes live.

    Ray and Aspen are having their second child early next month. I got him (the baby) some very cool outfits. Rock and Roll related, of course!
