  • X is Better than Ever!

    by DebBrowneFan on 7/25/18The Canyon Santa Clarita - Santa ClaritaRating: 5 out of 5

    I have been a fan of X since their early days, and was excited to find them playing in Valencia at a smaller venue. They did not disappoint! Vocals and songs better than ever - and so glad that the original group is still together. Venue was small, with a nice section of seats and booths for those who need them. I hope that we see them here again!

  • worst band

    by bentlegen on 7/24/18The Canyon Santa Clarita - Santa ClaritaRating: 1 out of 5

    They came out on stage and one would think that the singer would say something, no. She stood there, she hobbled through the songs with her back turned to the crowd half the time. The bass player seemed happy but that was it. They played 1 hour and 15 mins. I would never go see them again. Unless you are a diehard fan, save your money for someone else.

  • X at the Canyon in Santa Clarita

    by RickXfan on 7/24/18The Canyon Santa Clarita - Santa ClaritaRating: 5 out of 5

    I highly recommend X at any venue if you like great music. These guys write great songs and absolutely whale on their instruments. Billy Zoom is a great guitarist. John Doe's bass and DJ's drums set a foundation that drives each song. Exene is a force of nature. I love these guys. My two kids (28 and 21) loved this show, too!

  • Better than Ever

    by X7717 on 7/23/18The Canyon Agoura Hills - Agoura HillsRating: 4 out of 5

    Fan since 77 ! Thank you X for 41 years of giving your all. This band has been there and back and is still playing with passion and commitment to their fans and each other. They look great and kick ass musically. Craig is a great addition and lets DJ and Billy branch out instrumentally. Every song was full throttle. Standouts for me: Los Angeles, Nausea, New World, Please Come Back to Me and Hungry Wolf. I love this band.

  • X was the Headbanging Bomb!

    by Shabangs on 7/23/18The Canyon Agoura Hills - Agoura HillsRating: 4 out of 5

    So awesome! They have not lost one step or beat! I danced & banged my head until it almost fell off! I’m so in love that I’m now pregnant by John Doe, the lead singer & bassist. If it’s a girl, I’ll name her Doe. If it’s a boy, I’ll name him DoeDoe!!! Rock on! Punk Rock foreva!!!

  • Love X

    by 80schik on 7/23/18The Canyon Agoura Hills - Agoura HillsRating: 3 out of 5

    I like the Venue, but it was way too hot, no A/C & way over priced for not so good food & way over priced for drinks. X was great.

  • not their best

    by llholly on 7/23/18The Canyon Agoura Hills - Agoura HillsRating: 3 out of 5

    while the energy was there, Exene was way off key and the sound system was horrible, terrible feedback and sloppy mix, would not go back to that club again had to buy earplugs.....

  • Must See If You're a Fan

    by DynamoHumm on 7/23/18The Canyon Agoura Hills - Agoura HillsRating: 5 out of 5

    One of the best shows I have ever seen in a smaller venue. Played everything I wanted to hear, and some deep cuts I didn't expect. Musicianship was spot on. I was blown away, and can't wait to see them again.

  • X

    by hurlyburlygirly on 9/27/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5

    a very enjoyable and energetic show to attend. the band kept on the beat and is very engaging with the audience.

  • They still got it

    by Misterh3 on 9/25/17Brighton Music Hall - BostonRating: 4 out of 5

    went to see X in Boston the other night on their 40th anniversary tour. As good as Ive seen them live.... and thankfully Mr Billy Zoom has made a full recovery as evidenced by the fact he is still one of the best guitarists out there. I go to dozens and dozens of concerts a year and this was one of the best shows Ive seen in the 17.Check them if they come anywhere near where you live

  • 9/20 – X @ Paradise

    by LastDeadMouse on 9/25/17Brighton Music Hall - BostonRating: 4 out of 5

    Wow! Their 40th anniversary! Amazing that anything associated with punk rock is that old! But as they have aged, they have barely lost a step. Both Exene and John still sound great and guitarist Billy Zoom, (now over his health scare) sits on a stool but otherwise rips out those rockabilly-Check Berry riffs like lightning. Same songs (nothing under 35-years old, I’d guess), pounded out hard and fast – and how many bands have a 2-page set list!!?? Everything you could have asked for, including an audience request for 'Poor Girl'.

  • - X -

    GREAT, GREAT SHOW !!! THE ONLY THING I'D CHANGE WOULD BE TO MAKE THE SHOW LAST LONGER.

  • top 5 of beat shows i've ever seen

    by JohnSGraveside on 9/25/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5

    i was 14 when i attended my first show (the beach boys!) i am now 50, and have been to literally hundreds of shows over the years. at one point i was going to 4-7 shows a week. i've seen X before, but the show i attended last week has now moved into my top 5 shows of all time. it was amazing. the played cuts that previously were not playable live due to extraneous instrumentation, but they have a 5th person onstage for some songs. he played acoustic guitar while regular guitarist billy zoom played sax on "come back to me", and also played drums on a few songs to let founding drummer dj bonebrake play xylophone. these additions to the set made it extra special and worthy of their 40th anniversary. they played all their "hits" as well, and i believe all from their first 4 albums, the ones produced by ray manzerak of the doors. john doe's voice is in fine shape, you would't think he was 64 years old. exene did her typical live thing of wailing without melody in her solo parts but harmonized fairly well with john doe. by the end of the set they were firing on all cylinders, tempos be damned! the audience was totally blown away, and i might add that X packed the place on a tuesday night in portland maine. to be quite frank i didn't know there were enough X fans in maine to even go to the show on a weekend, let alone a tuesday. interestingly, billy zoom sat on a bar stool for almost the entire set. he walked on and off stage fine, stepped forward to play sax fine, but otherwise sat, still with that creepy teen idol smile on his face. i looked him up and he's going to be 70 years old in february, so i can only assume he can't stand for long periods of time. (i know i can't!) but he sat there right in front of his very loud amp and played phenominally. in fact, the whole show was loud, but billy was the loudest. all in all a great night that i will bot forget.

  • Fantastic!

    by boscophogg on 9/24/17Brighton Music Hall - BostonRating: 4 out of 5

    Have been seeing X for almost 38 or their 40 years but had not seen them in a long time. Show was tremendous, the hits just kept on coming! The band was on point, great energy and fully engaged - much more then the typical "reunion" tour. Highly recommended The Brighton Music Hall is fine, good sight-lines and excellent sound

  • As great as they ever were...

    by GBud on 9/22/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5

    First saw X at the Whiskey in LA in 1979 or '80. They were a precision band, high energy, great songs. Amazingly, they have not lost a step in the past 40 years. The band blasted through a 90 minute set at about 120 mph, and blew the crowd away. This was in Portland, Maine on 9/19/17. I don't think they had ever played in Maine before, but the audience gave them plenty of reasons to return. What a great night!

  • Always loved X. Great to finally see them.

    by Givemeabreakalreadywithth on 9/22/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5

    All in all the show was great! Two things to improve the venue would be better ventilation , and I don't know who was on sound control, but it was a bit off at times, washing out in the mid-range. Still, the opening band, Skating Polly, was awesome, and X naturally brought the ass whoopin love with their dynamic one of a kind sound! I liked seeing all performers close up and personal. I hope both bands come back.

  • Loud

    by Skunnie on 9/22/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 4 out of 5

    X played a great variety of all their tunes and were really into the 40th anniversary show. Exene looked great, surprised Billy sat down for almost all the show, wished I'd seen him in his signature stance. John and DJ were fantastic. All the punks and Johnny Cash fans have a group to look up too.

  • X at port city music hall

    by Waynetuohey on 9/22/17Port City Music Hall - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show. The room was perfect. The band played with great energy.

  • Punk Pioneers Rocked Atlanta!

    by RaoulDork on 5/19/17The Masquerade - AtlantaRating: 5 out of 5

    Wow! Never thought I'd have the chance to see them live but it happened and I enjoyed every minute of it! Only complaint was a facility issue with there being absolutely no ventilation on the floor in front of the stage. The Masquerade seemed to take the Hell moniker seriously.

  • Same old stuff

    by loureed on 5/19/17The Masquerade - AtlantaRating: 3 out of 5

    X has simply worn out its welcome with me and many others of their fans. They play the same songs from the first four albums every time. It has just gotten ridiculous. They have so much talent and to limit themselves is beyond my comprehension. It could be a legal issue. I don't know. Also the venue had no place for those of us with handicap issues to see the stage. The venue staff tried to accommodate me but I cannot see over everyone who is standing.
