Yeah, it's amazing to see King's X being billed as a grunge band. The production
has changed, but the basic King's X guitar sound is the same as on _Out of the
Silent Planet_. This pre-dates just about any commercial grunge band and it
definitely has been around longer than the term, "grunge".

I have to agree with some people that question the muxical complexity of King's X.
However, I think that most people will agree that King's X has taken "blues rock"
to another level. The Galactic Cowboys are the only other band that has tread
into this musical territory. I guess that I look at "progressiveness" at a pretty
base level, "Oooh, that's something different. I like it, I think."
