THIS IS AMANDA FROM THE PINES AND I IS LOOKING FOR THE GASKILLER JOEY
GASKILL! GOD IT'S BEEN 7 YEARS I THINK. THERE IS MUCH TO BE UPDATED.
LIKE TO KNOW. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO CONTACT ;PLEASE TELL HIM OR I...
BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE NO HOPE REALLY.
Wow, first post of the new year, Mellis you weren't joking, this
place is dead! But I know yall love Doug as I do, so perhaps we can
share some info. Any video traders? I have Poundhound's "Live
Bootleg"'98 if anyone's interested, love to find some live King's X
if it exists.
Did you know that GEEK are Jerry Gaskill's sons, Jerrimy and Joy??? I
interviewed them for my magazine and web radio show when they were here earlier
this year... kewl folks!
Spent most of this weekend listening to the new
CD again and again. I had heard it when I first
bought it but for some reason it started sinking in this
weekend. Man, Doug is so deep! At first I only heard the
heaviness of it, musically speaking, now I let in the
heaviness of the words and the music. Loving this
CD!<br><br>Looking forward to the new KX one now
too!<br><br>Jeff<br>www.funktry.com
I recently went to the Poundhound show in
Houston,texas and man was it a great show!<br>I was blown away
to see such a badass band in an intimate setting
like Fitzgerald's. I didn't pay to much attention to
the opening act Geek because I tune out if the singer
sounds like the cookie monster(cooookeeeee!) from sesame
street. Poundhound is from a time where stage presence
and knowing your instrument mattered. Doug blew me
away with his electric church and the drummer Erick
was right on the groove hammering out some serious
beats. Somebody or band better sign him up cause he is
definately a pro.<br>I saw King's X, before they were signed
to a label, at a music showcase in Houston
(Numbers)back in the 80's and I will forever be grateful that I
got to see them start off on their musical journey.
<br>Doug....what can I say...you are the only beacon Rock has
right now....keep it up.
I put some images up of the CD artwork for the
new PH Pineappleskunk Limited Edition double CD,
German Import. CD #2 has an MPEG file of the Poundhound
Live Bootleg video for your computer. I am assuming
this is the same art as the U.S. release, at least
from what I have seen. The lyrics are also included in
the booklet. Check it

Oops, is it Wes? I feel real stupid. <br>Purple Splotches- yeah you have the
right idea.<br>Both of them were really nice guys. Len is a great bass player.
I was going to the Rome show because the opera
house is a nice club in the nice part of town and it is
the closest show to me (knoxville, tn) but their
website is down and their phone number has a message
(that is difficult to understand) about how they are
cancelling shows and will be closed for a while and they
have to "wait and see what happens" etc etc. Also, I
noticed an Atlanta show was recently added. Does anyone
have any info on the Rome show? Is anyone planning on
going to this show?
As I mentioned before, I'm new to PH. I'm happy
to say that I was not disappointed!!! I had no idea
how heavy they were. Doug said this is the happiest
he's EVER been and it showed!! Christian ROCKED!!! Len
isn't much on stage-presence, but he added beautiful
harmonies!!!<br><br>GEEK is awesome if you're into "that kind of music"
and I am, so... After their set, they were front and
center for PH for most of the show, jammin' to it like
it was their first night out. The singer had a lot
of vocal power! Joy was rockin' too!! I hope they
stick around for awhile.<br><br>If you're lucky enough
to make it to the gigs, you're just that. Lucky!!
And don't forget to check out the GEEK mascot. It's
truly art.<br><br>f/h/l<br>marz
The show was great. The band was really tight.
Nothing like the Dallas show recording I have heard. The
songs were great. Doug has added "Mind" to the setlist.
Doug has also changed the setlist around a little. He
told me they now flow a little better. I loved every
minute of it and had a blast!<br><br>The new songs
sounded great. The band was really animated except for
Len who basically just stood there. Christian Nesmith
is pretty damn good. He was hopping around the stage
most of the night. You could see it in his face, he
was having a blast just strumming out bar chords loud
as hell. He also plays lead on acouple songs such as
"Red" and "River", a phenomenal also on the latter...I
told him he looked like he was having fun out there
and he says "When you are playing with Doug Pinnick,
how can you not have fun!" Doug even plays a little
slide guitar at the beginning of "Next in Line", one of
the best tunes he's done!!<br><br>Doug said it was
one of the better shows they have played. He loved
the club and wants King's X to play there instead of
Harpos, which is HUGE! I think Scott "Rastaman" Saluga
got to sell a few RMAK-X King's X Newsgroup T-shirts
to other fans and also to Christian Nesmith who
wanted one as soon as he saw it...Get yours while you
can, there's a link on my webpage!<br><br>No
Poundhound merchandise except for the Massive Grooves CD and
a small Massive Grooves poster. Lots of
Pineappleskunk/Metal Blade post cards everywhere. Lot's of Geek
merch...<br><br>The bands hang around inside the clubs usually, not
outside near their RV..<br><br>Geek was decent. Joy the
drummer is awesome. He's pretty original in his style and
bad as hell...<br><br>That's about it. Go see them if
you can!!<br><br>Dave Corr<br>www.KXCD.net
I missed the Dallas show! Ahrg! Anyone here going
to the Houston show? If so, how's the venue? Do i
need to pack heat? Also, for you fellas who've been in
the pound on this tour, any cool poundound
paraphanalia to be found?
