A "fake" live recording of a Jimi Hendrix Experience cover, a bonus track on Dogman, the fifth studio album released by the band King's X in 1994.
This album signaled a heavier direction for the group, and is often considered to be one of the group's best. The album was also supported with quite a few memorable performances opening for others, including a string of dates with Pearl Jam and the opening night of Woodstock '94.
The album was available in a variation of 4 different colors for the cover art: red, yellow, green or blue. The red version is the most widely available and is considered the standard version.
King's X is an American hard rock band that combines progressive metal, funk and soul with vocal arrangements influenced by gospel, blues, and British Invasion pop groups. The band's lyrics are largely based on the members' struggles with religion and self-acceptance.
Since being signed to Megaforce Records in 1987, King's X has released twelve studio albums, one official live album, and several independent releases. The band is currently recording for the InsideOut Music label, and continues to tour with each new release. Early in their major label career, they had many opening slots on arena tours, but lately the band, for the most part, headline their own shows playing mostly clubs and smaller venues.
Each member of the group has recorded solo albums and has made numerous guest appearances on other artists' albums and compilation projects. Doug Pinnick and Ty Tabor also have albums released with side bands that they participate in.
Despite the band members having varying degrees of Christian beliefs through the years and the group having had early dealings in the Contemporary Christian market, the members of King's X have never considered themselves a "Christian" band. However, some of their early lyrical themes (especially the first three albums) have led to some people labeling the group as such, which all three members strongly oppose.
KING'S X are
Doug Pinnick--bass, lead & backing vocals (1980--present)
Ty Tabor--lead guitar, backing & lead vocals (1980--present)
Jerry Gaskill--drums, percussion, backing & lead vocals (1980--present)
LYRICS
(originally by Jimi Hendrix)
Manic depression touching my soul
I know what I want but
I just don't know what I need
Music, sweet music drops on my fingers
Manic depression catchin' my soul
Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain
You make love, you break love
It's all the same
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, caress
Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Solo
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off,
And go on down, yeah
Really ain't no use in me hangin' around
(You know what I'm tryin' to say)
Music, sweet music
I wish I could caress, with a kiss!!!
Ohhhh!! Manic depression a frustrating mess!!
