AKA the Guardian has another pop at predicting the pop revival.

That said I like all the acts mentioned who I've actually heard. Perhaps this is the Real Thing!!!

hahahaha, Kings X! isn't it? wasn't it?

they were funk METAL though, shurely? they used to be in RAW all the time...

Yar, they were, altho I'd more say funk-rock, cos I think they were a bit more rock than metal, but hey, horses for courses.

They were in Raw plenty IIRC, but Raw had a pretty wide remit for rock musics. You'd find people raving about Marillion, Prince, NIN, Cradle of Filth, RHCP, Black Crowes, Christian Death and The Exploited on the same page! I rather liked that.

(I had several letters published in Raw when I was wee, which made me quite pleased at the time. The one I remember best was slagging off Glen Benton from Deicide.)

He was a bit of a twat re: animal abuse, hence my ranty letter.
