King's X - Over My Head
Added 2025-08-10 15:00:13 +0000 UTCI have always liked religious music and rock music to be seperate.
As a former Catholic, I was used to liturgical style music during mass and I wanted to keep it that way. To be fair, I am a fan of gregorian chant style music and didn't want it mixing in the music I was playing in church.
Anyway, the dissonance is strong with Ty and I love the cruchy feeling it gives me!

Weren't there 2 forms of Gregorian chant? I seem to remember hearing/reading that the earliest form/style was limited to 1 (or 2) notes. Every verse, every word the same note. Then later adopted polyphonic singing. Memory gets fuzzy as you get old.

2025-08-12 20:58:36 +0000 UTCThis was an interesting meld of genres... the guitar leads were really melodic, like you said, and a little bit shreddy like a lot of 80s metal, but the rhythm parts were a bit grungy in tone, and with the bass and drums, kind of funky. ..which really lent to his soulful voice/vocals. Reminded me a little of Sly Stone, especially with the high pitch screams/howls. In a way parallels what Hendrix did...playing psychedelic rock, but always infused with Blues...and Jimi sang like a Blues singer, sounded a lot like Muddy Waters in his vocal style. ..and that breakdown in the middle was definitely Gospel inspired.
