DOUG PINNICK Says KING'S X Has 'Never Been Profitable': 'We All Have To Do Outside Things To Make Ends Meet'

In a new interview with Reno's rock radio station Rock 104.5, Doug "Dug" Pinnick was asked if KING'S X has finally become a profitable venture for him and his bandmates, more than four decades after the group's inception. The 71-year-old bassist/vocalist responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "No, it's never been profitable. We've never recouped all the [funds] that the record companies put into us. Even [our current label] InsideOut, we owe them a couple of hundred thousand [dollars], 'cause they haven't recouped from the last couple of records. [Our former label] Atlantic Records we owe five million or four million to — something like that… Three — I'm not sure. It's in the millions somewhere they spent on us. Everybody that's ever signed us has always lost money, and so we've never made any money off of record sales. The only way we make a living is going on tour, and hopefully when people come to see us play we'll get a paycheck for that and merchandise. And KING'S X fans love to buy our merch 'cause they know that that's what supports us. But other than that, sometimes — well, not sometimes. We all have to do outside things to make ends meet."

He continued: "I just do side projects. I go get a record deal and pay the bills for a couple of months. Ty [Tabor, guitar] masters things; Jerry [Gaskill, drums] does stuff. None of us go to nine-to-five jobs; we don't do that. But something about what we can do. We have value in the marketplace, so we can do clinics, we can do things like that. Or I do handwritten lyrics — KING'S X lyrics that I wrote, I'll write 'em out on black paper in silver ink, sign it and put a date on it. I've written hundreds of them. … So it all works out. And at my age now, I get social security. And when I started getting social security about three years ago, that's when I stopped worrying because my social security will pay my rent. The rest of it I can do. I can get on a street corner and play guitar and I can get five dollars. I can call a friend up and say, 'Hey, I ain't got no money. Can you feed me today?' And they'll say, 'Yeah, let's eat.' But paying your rent — you want your rent paid; you don't want to depend on other people. And also I have a dUg [signature] pedal and I have a signature bass and a 12-string bass, and people buy 'em. And so every now and then I get that six-month check, which helps. So it's all good."

KING'S X will release its 13th studio album, "Three Sides Of One", on September 2. The effort will be available as a limited CD digipak, gatefold 180g 2LP+CD+LP-booklet and as a digital album. There will also be a limited deluxe 180g orange/red marble 2LP+CD+LP booklet that also includes a poster and a hand-numbered print, as well as an exclusive variant of the front cover artwork.

During 2019, the members of KING'S X congregated at Black Sound Studio in Pasadena, California with Emmy Award-winning producer Michael Parnin to bring "Three Sides Of One" to life. Despite consistent touring, they hadn't cut a new LP since 2008. Nevertheless, the guys picked up where they left off. Creative confidant and collaborator Wally Farkas rolled through, and they channeled their incredible chemistry on tape.

The new KING'S X LP was mastered in June 2021 at the Bernie Grundman Mastering facility in Hollywood, California,

KING'S X was sidelined by several health scares in recent years, including Pinnick's two hernia operations and two near-fatal heart attacks suffered by Gaskill.

In October 2019, KING'S X canceled all of its previously announced tour dates for the year so that Gaskill could undergo undisclosed heart "procedures."

"XV" was KING'S X's highest-charting album since 1996's "Ear Candy".

In 2005, VH1 included KING'S X in its list of "100 Greatest Artists In Hard Rock."

Интересный дед. У нас долгов на пять мультов, я вынужден толкать рукописные тексты, иногда хожу кушать к друзьям, но у меня всё збс.

mohnatiy, Ну, по факту это не их долги, апросто лейблы влетели на бабло, проло составив бизнесплан. А они катаются себе с турами и на эти бабки неплохо живут.

Mateas89, А меня смущает фраза "Нашему бывшему лейблу Atlantic Records мы должны пять или четыре миллиона". Интересно, может им часть прибыли с концертов и мерча приходится отдавать, чтобы расплатиться?

L_A, так уже отвечено же - если лейблы во что-то вкладывают деньги, то это их инициатива и их коммерческая схема по раскрутке данного коллектива.
Коллектив вовсе не обязательно должен что-то отдавать. Лейбл и так берёт своё с каждой продажи.
Почему Даг сказал именно "должны" - скорее всего, неточно выразился. Имеется в виду не должны в смысле отдать, а должны в смысле ой как неудобно вышло.
