The band's lyrics are largely based on the members' struggles with religion and self-acceptance. King's X was ranked No. 83 on VH1's ''100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author = Starpulse.com )〕 Since being signed to Megaforce Records in 1987, King's X has released twelve studio albums, two official live albums, and several independent releases. The band's most recent studio album, 2008's ''XV'', was released on the InsideOut Music label. Since leaving Atlantic records following the release of ''Ear Candy'' in 1996, King's X have released albums through Metal Blade Records, InsideOut Music and independently. Each member of the group has recorded several solo albums and have made numerous guest appearances on other artists' albums, as well as participated in numerous compilation projects. Doug Pinnick and Ty Tabor also have many albums released with side bands in which they participate.〔 Early in their major label career the band secured opening slots on arena tours, including opening for AC/DC in 1991, Pearl Jam in 1994, Mötley Crüe in 1994, and the Woodstock '94 festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Greg Prato )〕 As of 2015 they continue to tour and perform live. The spiritual nature of the band's lyrics, particularly on their first three albums, has often led to them being labeled a Christian rock band, a label the members have rejected.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Blabbermouth )〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「King's X」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
