Any fans of the great LA band X? I haven't seen them play in many years but they have the original lineup back and are on tour. Curtain goes up in about 3 hours.

X . . . as in "more fun in the new world", that X?

If so, Schweeeet!
Let us know if they still sound the same.

Just saw the show about a month ago here in Denver...it was awesome!!!  They still have it for sure.

Received a sonic pummelling last night.  I realized I have not seen the original lineup including Billy Zoom since 1985! They were fecking awesome!! They sound as good as or better than they ever did including when I used to go see them at the little places along Sunset Blvd. They played most of the first four albums. Kind of a wrinkly crowd but then I sometimes look in the mirror too. 
If you're a fan and they're coming to your town do yourself a favor and go see them.

Thanks for posting this, I have been pumped about the tour, & hoping they will come to my town, hasn't been announced yet, fingers are crossed...

I was lucky enough to see them live in '81, then again in '83

Out of curiosity, how did Exene look?

Can't say enough about how great Billy Zoom is on that damn guitar. He makes it look so effortless...
Exene sounds great but she's an old lady now and looks it. I can't believe she was married to Viggo Mortenson and even has a kid by him.
I've seen John Doe perform several times over the years, sometimes solo, sometimes within a larger band. The guy is a great singer.

Now if we can just get Black Flag back together.

Was Billy trying as hard to get laid at your show as he was at the one in Denver?  I swear he tried to get every girls' eye to get a piece.  Hilarious!
