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!
