Fra omslaget: "Countless accolades have been bestowed upon King s X over the years, and, since their formation in 1980, they have grown to become one of the most universally admired in hard rock and heavy metal. But their story is one of many ups and downs, trials and tribulations, and periods of good and bad luck. This authorized biography examines and explores all aspects of their history, both personally and professionally. Comprised of extensive interviews conducted by author and longtime King s X fan Greg Prato, King s X allows the band s three members singer/bassist Doug Pinnick, guitarist Ty Tabor, and drummer Jerry Gaskill to tell their full story for the first time. It also opens the floor to friends and collaborators, plus some of the many top rock names who are also fans of the band, including Pearl Jam s Jeff Ament, The Police s Andy Summers, Smashing Pumpkins Billy Corgan, Soundgarden s Kim Thayil, Pantera s Rex Brown, Motley Crue s Mick Mars, and many more. In addition, King s X explores the stories behind every single song the band have recorded over the years, while also detailing the creation of each of their twelve albums and offering insight into the influence of religion on their work. It also features memories of the band s tours with some of rock s biggest names including AC/DC, Pearl Jam, and Motley Crue and the events that led to their show-stopping performance at the mammoth Woodstock 94 festival. Packed full of rare and never-before-seen photographs from throughout their career, King s X: The Oral History is the definitive companion to the band and their music."
