Kings of Leon - King of the Rodeo

[DNAhiphopper]

caleb looks stupid in this video.

[Librakrr28]

how can the audience be standing still? wtf

[jaycee314]

Police.

[CristianMclovin]

Best K.O.L song

[thehognias]

i bet this dude gets a lot of meow meow

[sedohrj87]

@thehognias he's married to a victoria secret model now, so you know he did.

[TheComrad1975]

what the hell is wrong with the crowd?

[dondanidaniel]

fucking incredible band, allways better live

[AstorreHerrera]

To me this point marks the beginning of the radical change the Kings Of Leon Art and Attitude suffered. Just can't listen from Only By The Night on. Because Of The Times had a mixture of great tunes like Knocked Up, Trunk, Arizona & Awful things like My party and On Call with a much felt change on the sound. They definitely peaked with Aha Shake Heartbreak and the consequent tours from that era. Maybe Caleb burned out and the younger kings took charge of the band? Who knows? God bless his soul.

[Oallright]

@AstorreHerrera You shouldn't be so opinionated a about a band if you only like half their music. They have like 7 songs I don't listen to but I don't not like the songs. Either like them as a band or find a new band that will decide not to make a name for themselves.

[AstorreHerrera]

@Oallright I was wrong in the way I wrote that comment, a little harsh in the overall attitude. But I stand my ground. They were just so promising, like the Rolling Stones of our generation and me being even younger than Jared by 2004 I was so amazed, they were the best. Anyway, this band unleashes so much passion on people that discussions about them are still taking place. Congrats for liking them.

[TheComrad1975]

it does sound better live

[MrK9nny]

its weird

here the rythem guitar is too loud and now in their c a s peformances its too quiet

[Oallright]

I like when says "Hold on not my fairy tale"

[lastminuteresistance]

when he says "disarray" you can hear the cry in his voice. so sad :(

[binkybreezy1988]

Nathan and his gum lol

[tenpinjohn89]

You've missed the first few seconds at the start of the song. I wouldn't mind so much but the intro is the best part.

[sedohrj87]

If you can see yourself in the crowd at 1:09 You're a fukking loser lol

[wonko11]

guTAto rolo!

[mchamo12]

KOL deserve better, a lot better.

[Maraldez]

Oh Nathan, always chewing gum. <3

[doriantaylor66]

Mane diz nigga go hard but wats wit the ppl I mean it's like some one told them to act like their having a bad time or somthing

[binkybreezy1988]

@doriantaylor66 I'm not the only black person here. . .Yaaaaay! :))))))

[doriantaylor66]

@binkybreezy1988 hell ya they go hard

[lilgip]

[SkitztSpork]

That has to be the worst crowd I have ever seen....

[IndieRokker321]

@SkitztSpork yea i was thinking the same thing. If I was there, I would be screaming my head off!!!

[Chaucer129]

[angel7ars]

2:18 VERY NICE ending!!!!

[jheiliger]

Crowd = SUCKS!! "You sing, and we're just gonna stand here..."

[1Batuta1]

I would do anything to see this song live nowadays.

[PurpleHazeHippie]

fucking hot ass Caleb. Woo!

[Sionare]

nathan always with your bubble gum

[akaBanKsy]

i think caleb would of had to pulled a rabbit out of his arse too of gotten a rise out of this crowd let alone play king of the rodeo

[waymondo1955]

pre bandwagon !

[Taygoo15]

Im loving caleb's hair his hair now blows

[ingmire71]

it's not fair that he has such great hair.....

[maddison31797]

Poor Nathan, he's always so bored.

[dadude86]

2:04 Kackepoloch !

[julianalacerda100]

[PurpleHazeHippie]

Hell yeah, these dudes rock

[vanweiden93]

[gray11233]

[PureHardDanceMaster]

What a vid

[chippifoo00]

this is fucking amzing i think that everybody that went to that festival to see another band they turn kol fans.

[badga08]

ha ha how fucking mad is it that hardly anyone is even moving to this...

[MsMaksy]

@badga08 yea I don't understand how they could keep still while kol was playing as great as they were!

[jmaxwell468]

its a bummer they took this out of there line up...such a jam....KOL doesnt know how to peak

[lobsterjohnson88]

Officially when kol peaked..... because of the times was unbelieveable equalling there previous two epic albums, it's been downhill from there. lets give em one more chance with the next one. pls no more soft melodic rock!!!

[ElpanteraDLD]

Kings of leon forever.

[AirHendrix91]

This is probably gonna be the third song me and my brother learn hopefully.

Its so easy to play their songs sometimes hehe.

[Piggaletto]

this is the best version of this song i have heard!

Caleb's voice is amazing anyway but in this it is just wow.

[EdgarBajayras]

i fucking agreeee. and ive seen so many versionsss

[DRUMMERLORD95]

it's weird how some bands are awesome in the studio, but terrible live. Nirvana were like that, kings are just awesome at both ;D

[fallinaction]

nirvana was great live

[MusicaLocaLover]

I'm with you on that one bro. Kings of Leon and Nirvana rocks!

[roozbehbey]

[musicxobsession123]

good time to roll on (=

[harofire]

love the crowd :-l

[6800Claire]

one of my favorite songs by my favorite band in the world and love how the crowd are soo still, obviously the majority of the people at this point in 2007 didnt care who they were.. like many people.. the guy in the orange jumper is my fav @ 1:39.

[steeshlad]

they were massive in 2007. maybe they are still because it was a festival and people were waiting to see someone else. however hard that is to believe.

QOTSA, arctic monkeys both played after kol so maybe people were waiting for them.

i seen them twice in 07 in uk and people went insane.

[zwoefte]

It was a crazy day, after the kol ( i only knew "on call" in that period, know i'm their biggest fan) bloc party, arctic monkeys,qotsa and pearl jam played @ werchter :o

[6800Claire]

yeah i seen them in Belfast in 2005everyone was going crazy

Think it was around then they got their status in the UK , been forever building around the globe

Im seeing the Arctic's again at the end of this month can't wait what a band!

i was talkin about this vid, Rock werchter is in Belguim..so it wasnt really a UK audience i was referring to :sand i have been to a few festivals myself so i dont really find it hard to beleive

I dont no why your tryin to fuckin slash me on here anyway lol

[steeshlad]

i'm not trying to slash you at all?

my friends are out seeing arctic monkeys as we speak, seen them at leeds and was really disapointed so didnt wanna spend like £35 to see a depressed alex turner. it makes me upset though. i miss old alex :(

[6800Claire]

Ahh god! thats bad! you get the reveiws the next day and your like piss off i dont even want to know haha..

aww i know what you mean! Though i started to come to love Jamie Cook more seeing the new Alex is killing me lol.

[ModularV8]

@6800Claire

hahahaha King of The Rodeo is his fuckin' song!

[DjoOoO10Mm]

I LOVE THEM, and yeah...in 2007 I didnt know them yet, but today umppffffffff LOVE LOVE LOVE!! LOL

[lola4322]

nathan just chews his gum and rocks out lmao hahahaha lolve kol

[ikhatechu]

[ygirliey]

Kings of Leon are nominated at the Europe music Awards 2009 =)

the voting will start at 21.9. , just don´t forget to vote for them =)

And of course tell everybody else to vote !

[kevlance]

they ripped the chorus' melody from the famous nursery rhyme, 'a ring around the roses a pocket full of poses'

[m333tt]

tempo?

thats a pretty fast ring around the roses...

[kiidso0freshh]

im a musician, i really don't see any similarities between those melodies.

[Jazz19997]

Awesomest song evers!! lol

xD

They are amazin live too :D

[liliom232]

love caleb's voice, too:)

and most of their songs are pretty much amazing:D

[thelibertines91]

and ur a wanker

[calditos]

I don´t think so deep hole poppy boy.

Ah, I luv this song, but the hair....bufff ha ha ha

[benbu7m01]

The killers? what a lot of shit they are. KOL 4 EVER

[benbu7m01]

WOW!

[LTglenn91]

onw of the only bands that sound even better live that what makes them better then the killers

[babyhailes]

Caleb has such a great voice, in all of their songs!

[HugoTheMonkey]

0:56

Rofl, only Nathan Followill blows gum bubbles mid-performance. And with such a casual expression XD

[hendrixfan805]

lol thats why hes the best

[h1soka]

Joey Castillo also does it

[nostabssor]

its not that rare

[xxebunburyxx]

his voice is sooo unique

[PooPoo2U]

@xxebunburyxx: huh, guess you've never heard cat stevens?

[snakemanl]

@PooPoo2U whats cat stevens got to do with xxebunburyxx comment? are trying to say Calebs voice has similarities to cat stevens?

[PooPoo2U]

@snakemanl: go listen to "pop star" by cat stevens and you'll see what i mean.

[proachdude]

caleb aint fat :S n he certainly doesnt look fat :o

[daysleeper236]

I like the Bamboos' version better.

[froggerchanovsky]

Agreed.

[TheBadrandolf]

GREAT!!! Best live Band Ever!!!

[DanthemanCTU24]

God, they are so amazing live!

[djdams69]

j'ador cette chanson ce groupe.Nan c mithique !!!!!! I love Kings of Leon God bless you all .

[AGNUS4LIFE]

the lasy couple of seconds killed me :)

[quetalquetal]

WOOOOOOOOOW i love tha tlast part god i love caleb MOTHERFUEKEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[DJSHEERAN07]

haha i think cleb used a ghd hahaha

[CrashingBlimp69]

why does caleb look so fat?

[blackcountrywoman]

AHAHAHAH he does man

[YNTMCompetition]

It's just how his hair is done! It's an optical illusion kind of thing... When people have that hairstyle it makes their faces look rounder! =)

[blountation]

Very, very true.

[vix1995]

awesome :)

[caitibug0124]

their songs mean a lot to people and I don't think they should be expected to change them up just because they are live. plus, I think it is amazing that they can sing live just as good as they do in the studio.... I know plenty of bands that couldn't do that to save their lives

[BasterMates]

infact they are much better live than recorded

[caitibug0124]

I don't get how people can complain about something like that... LOVE them live. Did anyone catch them on Jay Leno last week??? AMAZING!!!

[CastleCR93]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuj.....t­he bamboos have a style but this .....not

[artbox23]

@CastleCR93 Je kk muil houwe mafkees

[rockdudegrimo]

i think u shud all jus shut the fuk up n accept that kol r the best fukin band of this century hands down who givs a fuk if they play live just like they record i agree wiv stel henry if it aint broke dont fix it but what does need fixing is that blackcresentbrigades attitude towards the fukin kol

[uanset]

this is so cool -->0:56

[shotdownangel]

if there playing it exactly like the studio track that means they have talent no editing need

[shotdownangel]

seen these live last year going to see em live again i cant w8 ive been listening to these since i was like 11

[jonnylignier]

BlackCrescentBrigade, if you think about it, KoL are probably one of the world's most popular bands, they've made four unbelievable albums and deserve all their credentials and at the moment you are an absolute nobody. so until you have done something with your musical career i suggest you shut up.

[stelhenry]

sorry blackcresentbrigade im pretty sure the kol are better than you. eastbayray1969 wanst speaking from pure emotion. I know they're better than you for many reasons

1)sold millions of albums worldwide

2)sell out tours in the UK

3)while you are commenting on videos on youtube they are too busy playing at gigs and selling lots of albums/singles meaning your not a Successful and they are

4)playing the same shit? they have four albums and tonnes of b-side tracks.you bellend

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

I said nothing about them playing the same shit. I said that they play their songs EXACTLY like the studio track. That is my point about musicianship. They have none. And all you guys commenting about my comment are only proving my point. They DO play their live stuff EXACTLY like the studio track.

[stelhenry]

well even if they do play their songs exactly like their studio track....which they dont. but lets say for arguments sake they do. All i would say to that is..............

If its not broke dont fix it!

[18060706]

I agree. the point is that they play their studio tracks like live, not the other way around. that's what I like about them. for example, if you listen to the white stripes studio tracks, you could easilly assume that there are 4 people in the band. but when live - they sound shitty. solos don't help. at least that's my opinion.

[tenaciousE21912]

the white stripes sound awesome live

[alemag87]

this comment thread is getting waaaaay deep xD *watches on in anticipation*

[fatriff]

sucks ass

[halfkut2193]

what lovely conditioned hair

[eastbayray1969]

first of all the kings of leon can play their shit anyway they fuckin please. second, show your musicianship???? did u ever think that they might ruin the integrity of the song if they changed it? and lastly they are better musicians then you will ever ever be so when your as big as them u be sure to change your songs when u play them live.

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

Firstly, I do show my musicianship. I play with a band, I have improvisational skills. As you just proved to me with your comment, you don't understand what I was talking about. You made a comment about them being "better [than I] will ever ever be..." You don't know my music, so you're speaking from pure emotion. I've seen them play shows, and they almost never change a thing (what I was commenting about).  Which makes my point that bands are just cookie-cut and play the same shit always.

[DonomanOx]

Kingss of leon are better than you'll ever be, :L get over yourself, eastbayray1969 totally agreed :)

[Thesp88]

BlackCrescentBrigade's a fucking fag who hates his life :)

[samuelslaughter]

whatever u fucking fag, theyre playing their music just like their projected image. i.e cool, and cudnt give a shit not fuc types not ponsy little faggots

[tenaciousE21912]

Real 'musicians' don't need to solo all the time or show their improvisational skills because their songs speak for themselves. While it is cool to solo, it's not cool to wank around like tons of musicians do which just gets boring and self-indulgent.

[pixiecat19]

i agree, caleb does look raelly sexy here...he always does, but here especially...wow. lily is a lucky lady

[gizmogirl82]

woah, caleb looks really sexy here. he should grow his hair again! lol

[EMDEE1992]

this song is so simple and sooooooooooo good. This song probably sounds better live then it does recorded

[samdodgerules]

how can u get a song this good??

: o

[feekerbai]

Unbelievable. What a song.

[DanDTX]

shit crowd.

[jpbowersock]

honestly the most boring crowd of all time.you belgian bores better not disagree.really great band who obviously arent appreciated in middle europe.

[SweetJane1040]

This Belgian bore has uploaded dozens of Kings of Leon videos for your entertainment. I love it when people are grateful..

[siegfried1808]

I do appreciate it. Good point. Keep up the good work.

[Whitemalan]

hahaha. sweetjane just verbally bitch slapped you

thank you very much for the uploads. these guys are fuckin awesome

[95170warr]

No, caleb plays a Gibson es-325 and matthew plays an epiphone sheraton in this video.

[oofighter2010]

haha i blow bubbles when i play too. question-is Caleb playing an epiphone dot?

[katyaluv]

Having just seen them in London last week I cannot believe Caleb's voice live and how good the rest of them sound. KOL are amazing and I will never forget that night.

[Huskygurl20]

What a terrible crowd, are they deaf? Matt shows his appreciation for them at 0:31. hehe!! I would have been on someones shoulders drunk and screaming at that gig haha. What bunch of teenage looooooserssssss!!!!

[SweetJane1040]

Tss, that's what almost everyone say. I can tell you: I was there, and the atmosphere was awesome, the Kings were amazing and everyone had a good time. But the fact that it was the third day of Werchter, that it had been raining constantly and that it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon (normally everyone still sleeps by then) didn't really help.

[SweetJane1040]

Oh, and: It's Jared who spits at 0:31, not Matt. (not to be a know it all, just a little correction :)
