I've been a King's X fan for over two decades now. The fact that I was able to interview bassist and vocalist Doug (dUg) Pinnick for ThisDayInMetal.com was a surreal experience.
dUg spoke with us for nearly 50 minutes about:
- his upcoming new solo record in October 2024.
- the bizarre experience of opening for AC/DC in Germany.
- how King's X picks their setlist.
- playing Woodstock '94.
- working with Brendan O'Brien on Dogman.
- his cameo on "Lines in the Sand" by Dream Theater.
- how he feels about King's X being so widely respected without the same level of commercial success.
Throughout the interview, you can hear dUg's passion for music and gratitude for the musical life he's led. Enjoy!
