Can def see how old fans don't like their latest record BUT, Only By the Night is a hell of a lot better than some of the music they play on the radio these days, and I think a lot of young people can go from liking just their new sound, to digging their old stuff, and then gradually start listen to more and more rock, indie and GOOD rap records, not just the sound of the big record companies.
@damianocunego7 try telling that too them. i'm 15 and i've listened to kol since YAYM and my mates liked their new stuff so i told them to listen to their old shit and they didn't even believe me that it was the same band and thought it was crap. ahh well fuck em they can listen to there eminem bollocks they'll realise in a few years what real music is.
if you people have ever taken the time to actually listen to the band talk, they are really proud of their recent work. dissing their new album is dissing the band. you're not a real fan so go away. bands progress and true fans progress with them. you should respect all of the music.
This album was awesome... still is... with that trashy-rock-oldie feeling!! But lets be honest not all the people dig this kind of music.. too wild for some. I love it.. but the new stuff is more.. comercial.. I still like em, but the changed their music to sell more records.. get more fans.. they're not stupid haha. I FUCKIN LOVE THEM.. cant wait to see them this October 20th in Guadalajara!!
they reached their pinnacle with because of the times.... then.... dropped the ball with the new album. Its only strong on a few tracks like closer, crawl, manhattan, and sex on fire. The rest is utter dross
lol he does sing kinda weird but you can't call caleb a brat! and spoiled - he grew up poor and this was their first album so they weren't a huge band. a real brat is someone like ricky wilson from the kaiser cheifs who sold out after his first album. And that's why KOL are headlining Reading with KC behind them!
3 weeks ago There was this boy named luigi. He got bulleyed because he had the name of a character from a game. That night his mom found him dead in the kitchen. He sliced his own throat. If you don't send this to 5 other videos he will slice your neck in your sleep tonight
i totally agree, sure it's different from their other albums but everyone does that!! jeez ppl! it's Kings Of Leon their great no matter what! even better in concert! ^^
Look...bands can change their style whenever they want it so...we are not discussing that...we are saying, moshen, that they change in another way...They betrayed everything they were before...I don't know...money is something worth to change you know...Maybe they want it to get a bigger audience...I don't know...I don't listen to them anymore...
cool, raw sound. I wish people would get the fact that a band usually has to change to stay interested in what they do. Ya, its a business too, but they would get tired of playing the same formula on every album.
I saw them just after they released Youth and Young Manhood and they were amazing, definitly still my favourite current band. They were class at Reading last year as well but I do think Youth and Young Manhood was their best, by far. That's not to say they're still not in a whole other league from shit indie bands.
i actually prefer aha shake heartbreak..you cant expect them to just make another aha or y&m then you'll complain how its sounds the same..there no pleasing you you guys
This video was posted 7 mths ago and has < 5000 views,sex on fire has been on for a few weeks and has millions.This proves 4 all the wrong reasons what has happened to KOL.Performances like this are definately a thing of the past,gutted!They are a completely different band to what they used to be,and currently they are not a patch on what they were.Yes they are pulling in more fans now, but in doing this they have totally abandoned what made them such a unique band.
i agree 100% thats why i had to put this on to get back to old school kings. its really hard to watch that new stuff, i jus wish they coulda stuck to the rockin. it makes sense that they wanna progress but i dont like the direction, there isnt even a scrap of what they used to be.
i like the fact that theyre progressing. i like seeing all views and if i could i would combine theyre old style w/ calebs improved voice. THAT WOULD BE OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!
Classic KOL... I yearn for another Joe's Head or Genius... or even for more than half the current fans knowing the lyrics to "Trani"... I've seen them 6 times now & the "new fans" are getting worse wt every gig.. Buy Youth & Young Manhood you dont know what your missing people!!
I've been listening to KOL since Y&YMH and I must say...they wrote some of the best 'get fucked on drugs and have sex with models because I'm a badass' songs, which is what Rock & Roll is all about!
first time iver actaully seen them doing this song live in a video , it is dam good, think the older style of KOL was better and more rock..... now they have gone commercial for little girls ... kinda went off them.
that bass line is fuckin' tasty
