Kings of Leon - Glastonbury 2004 - Red Morning Light

[Crackhouts]

Bangs.

[happygumby]

He looks like fuckin' Steve Marriott.

[nathand410]

Why dont they perform like this anymore? Watchin more recent live videos and the vocals are still flawless but there is no energy or enthusiasm.. Still love KoL!

[EoinLfc09]

@nathand410 then you want to have been at Slane Castle in may.. came on and played and four kicks, taper jean girl, spiral staircase and the bucket back to back, and it was fucking crazy. whatever they lack on record these days, they definitely get the rawness and edge back live.

[nathand410]

@EoinLfc09 I actually was at Slane in May haha.. But If you compare this vid to a video of Red Morning Light at the O2 in London in 2009 you will clearly see the point i'm tryin to prove

[EoinLfc09]

@nathand410 yeah i know what you're saying, the recent versions of red morning light are crap, but if you look at any live videos from 2009 they were shite. bad setlists, and they really looked like they couldn't be arsed. but i think they've gotten that live edge back now, they were great at slane and in every live clip i've seen from this year

[MrDavetheblade]

they have not been as good since you started understanding the lyrics in their songs. absolutely loved their first 3 albums. The 3rd was more commercial but still brilliant in its own right. Sex on Fire and use somebody were absolute bland horseshit in my book

[criket527]

i miss when they used to look like this, just something about caleb in these days screams, "fuck you if you think i look like a girl, theyll be coming to me". i miss that.

[hoibie]

Caleb comes straight from rivendell.

[scouseabu]

they used to be fucking exceptional....now since they left there spiritual home of england...they,ve become an average americanized commercialized band...shame,no wonder calebs fucked from all the smoke getting blown up his arse from the corporate nobheads

[blancmage31]

@scouseabu WHAT!? england has its fair share of commercial crap artists. YOU guys came out with that atrocity, the "X Factor"! American bands ftw! Strokes, Silversun Pickups, Interpol, My Morning Jacket, KOL!!!

[vanweiden93]

"that's not right...., Waahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

[DTitz331]

hmmmm maybe the reason why some of thier songs sound a little like U2 is because they toured with U@ and probly got some influence from that. Theres reasons for things. dont just assume something without knowing anything.

[wiwis]

I really miss them

[Mefreudi]

england is fucking cool, they've always liked kings of leon. the americans, on the other hand, like them now, with their short hair cuts and modern clothes. just sayin'

[sherbert500]

@Mefreudi you never know kasabian may catch on lol

[ctoc32]

love that he still uses the same guitar and now it has wear on it from playing so much!

[2LostMen]

<3

[donutmike]

face it, they sold out. those who believe they didn't sell out are just retarded faggots. Southern rock was a much cooler style for them.

[PattleProductions]

@donutmike na, they still make amazing music. better music than this. i mean face it, this is technically better music

[Slay318]

@donutmike

Let's face it, if you think KoL EVER were southern rock, you're a retard.

[donutmike]

@Slay318 No, I think you're the retard for not recognising their potential when they WERE southern rock.

[Slay318]

@donutmike

I like their older stuff, I recognise the potential they still have, but they've NEVER been a southern rock band.

[MattyBurr]

To me, this is what Kings of Leon are about. Anybody who says they've sold out are talking bull, they're just doing what every other band would love to do, and that's get your music heard by the biggest possible audience. I'm not as big of a fan of their latest album, but fuck, if I could be in their shoes I fucking would be!

Getting paid to write and perform your own songs? Yes please!

[CraicCocaine]

Matthew has got a really fat ass now compared to then.

[funkybjorn11]

The biggest change in KOL has been the lead singer. Totally different guy now.

[funkybjorn11]

@TheAlb125 - All true. But remember, most bands have a limited amount of time to succeed. 7(2003-9) great years in the UK, Europe, etc.. If they want success in the USA, they have do to it now. That includes catering to the style that large groups of Americans prefer. They can make tens of millions of dollars over the next 5-10 years in the USA. Most people, including myself, could not turn down a chance to make that large amount of money.

[MissClarkeey]

One of my favourite songs of all time 

[clark1wd]

Funny how the crowd went nuts for this song back then.......none of the new crowd even recognizes this song anymore, let alone appreciates it. It's a shame.

[Bearcatlax18]

that bassline seriously gives me a hard on... i can't help it

[Erasedmuseum]

Only by the night and come around sundown are great but the first 3 cd's that's just pure awesomes pure magic ^^ We ALL really miss old KOL, admite it...

[yeahacoustic]

i miss this band

i wish they weren't shit now

[mrfish11]

i love loving this! makes me feel special!!

[1Batuta1]

Why didn't i went to their concert when they were still Gods...

[idesoman]

kings of leon where really bad-asses back in 2004.. know they have changed..

[stoptheclocks2]

I was at this festival KOL were great ! This is when they were really good...

[estherr0]

they've got effortless cool...!

[slake521]

haha you can squirm mister,i have no answers for you.

[slake521]

i still dont understand numbers. i dont lots of people. memory says what bullshit! give me some taste.

[MrBOOM151]

They didn't sell out, but their music has changed in the newer albums. Every album has turned a little bit more mainstream and and pop like since their first . All in all though, they are still bad asses who make bad ass music.

[goffmeister78]

caleb looks fuckin cool here. this is what KOL are all about . more cowbell !!! :-)

[Murfs13]

nathan looks like a late john lennon here haha

[lissluis]

who ever says they are sell outs are idiots, they are are popular cus they make great music and are the best band around at the moment. how is that sellin out? now alexandra burke or some one like that i would call a sellout

[daurpm]

@lissluis best band around? says who?

[liamjwolves]

@lissluis i think its because they went more commercial after the release of sex on fire

[frankb88]

@liamjwolves The whole album was recorded by the tune was even released... so your wrong. There music gradually changed it didnt just change all of a sudden, soon as people become succesful people just want to point and shout sellouts, if only by the night wasnt as succesful as it was, all the people calling them sellouts would be bumming it.

[liamjwolves]

@frankb88 I'm sorry pal but alot of people i know, only really know the tunes Use Somebody and Sex On Fire, maybe a few more off Only By The Night. Ask them if they like this song and they wouldnt of heard of it.

But thats just people i know of anyway.

[chrissb7]

@lissluis i would agree defenitly with that statement.They're great and to be fair ok their new album is a bit boring but the rest of their stuff is fantastic yes including their 4th album.They've done well for themselves so fair fucks and seriously people preech their sell outs well don't try and fit things in to stereotypes.

[Svampard]

@lissluis they are huge sellouts.. but who cares when the music is good.

[32wallace]

@lissluis

No a sell-out has to have something good and 'sell it' IE KOL change from blow your face of awesome to pop because it makes more money.

[foofighters4eav]

@lissluis they're sellouts because they charge £90 a ticket face price

[GoMattii]

@lissluis who the fuck is alexandra burke ? sounds like a cunt...

[JAKKU94]

@lissluis no to be a sellout you first have to be good

[guekman]

@lissluis by saying "the best band around the moment" is subjetive. For example, in my opinion, Arcade Fire is one of the best band nowdays. KOL has sold out for trying to became the new U2. Just my opinion!

[lissluis]

@guekman, I made that comment a year ago and yes I should of said 'one of the best bands' instead of the best band. Im also a massive arcade fire fan and think they one of the best bands around..but for saying that kings of leon are trying to become the new U2 just makes your opinions totally invalid!! KOL are nothing like U2!! Do you honestly think they sat down and said to each other ''I know, lets try to become the new U2''!! People like you make me hate certain fellow fans of music!!

[sherbert500]

@guekman kol is just being another oasis in my opinion they play there own tunes and fuck everyone else good on em............

[guekman]

@sherbert500 Despite KOL has changed their style, (That's something that can not be refused) i still like the band.

I 've heard all their albums and you can realize that they are more overproduced in some songs (for example: Use Somebody) and when you listen "Red Morning Light" on the cd and here on youtube, it's almost the same.

Cheers!

[gannonator]

@guekman

they dont even play the same genre of music to U2 so your opinion is irrelevant ye bean 

[guekman]

@gannonator Try to listen "Notion", "Use Somebody", "I Want You", and then come and tell me that they don't wanna be like U2.

Cheers!

[gannonator]

@guekman All three of those songs are from Only By The Night. If you listen to Come Around Sundown they sound NOTHING like U2 and are not trying to.

[aaronJORDON]

@lissluis they jut look like douchebags now. that's the only difference

[TheDec0Drummer]

they only had a large fan base in Ireland and Gay Britain before only by the night, obtn got them a bigger fan base everywhere

[thekillers1stfan]

shut up you fuckin idiot

[steeshlad]

i love this concert so much. caleb looks too cool.

[FanaticalMusicFan]

Caleb looks really nervous... But he sounds as great as always.

[rocket88bass4]

okay sellouts? are you kidding? if you like kol you should like obtn, they aren't sellouts if they are doing something progressive and innovative for music. they're new album ( I heard) is gonna be more raw, and you guys will jump on the band wagon(hehe). your not true kol fans if you don't like obtn, I stand by kol!

[mburton12]

i dont get why nathan has to count in matt for the riff.......?

[SteelersFreak108]

He's like a metronome.

[Kapiwolf123]

...cause nathan sets the beat to the song...and matt starts off the song

[Cathaoir99]

i pref their style and the whole old look back then,they all look differnt now,but their new stuff is still good.

[Peloquo23]

oh don't say "if you were a true fan, you'd love their new stuff" thats such a lame non-comeback

[salashomecooking]

its also lame when ppl overreact on KoL changing. people should be happy that the mainstream finally accepts good music. people who say that Kol's new style sucks, they need to learn something about music.

[offthetop0]

this band just has 'it'.

[ItsASuicideMachine]

i don't understand why people hate their new stuff, i know it's different to their old stuff, but they cant keep writing the same songs over and over, bands change and i think they still sound great, and original.

[maxinator96]

Yeah, knew it was one of those.

[caguayo]

gibson es-325

[91fatface91]

Oh my god why the hell is everyone saying their new stuff is shit? At the end of the day its still them and they write those songs for a reason, its not like someone writes their songs for them. And anyway, their style is southern and they haven't changed that! All albums are amazing, real fans would love all of them

[RazztheKid9]

I agree, they write all their songs because they all have meaning, not because they fancy a change... people need to stop slatin such an awesome band

[shradicalz]

you're right man.

okay, i'd say their "new" style is more girl-tailored. i loved them in 2003/2004, but they are still brilliant - still kings of leon.

[bowwoon]

i loved them till the last album came out...

[09moodog]

god damn i would sell my soul to be in this band.

[joelelguitar]

the drummer never smiles,

thats original

[iamcorekill]

I was at this and i have the same guitar as the guy in the the first bit

[WeirdWeir]

awesome

how much was it?

[iamcorekill]

The Guitar or glastonbury?

[WeirdWeir]

the guitar

[maxinator96]

Nice, Gibson ES-335! THE rock 'n' roll guitar.

[benrox26]

actual a 325

[minaimmortal]

ha! yeah looks like his ready ta chunder poor bloke!

[badman21090]

probably because he always got shit scared on stage when they first started out, and that's a pretty fucking big crowd!

[supersparrow26]

Is it just me or doesn't Caleb look very well at the start of the video?

[BasterMates]

u guys are retards..i hate explaining this to everyone so im just not gonna bother...i hate ppl like u guys, really, dont make negative comments about the band that breathed life and is still breathing live back into music..go fuck urselves

[sumitrandom]

at their best! last 2 albums rubbish

[givingitashot1]

Thats the worst comment i,ve seen on dis, your ashamed??? you never where a fan, and their better of with out you!lol

Peace

[Pancakesatthedisco]

come on because of the times had some good songs

[sumitrandom]

i never enjoyed it tbh but for people who do good for them, i guess i like their more raw sound if im honest, but hopefully next album will be more like thei first two fingers crossed

[tenaciousE21912]

the first 3 were all awesome but the 4th went overboard with all the annoying, shitty ballads

[sumitrandom]

i like his voice more when u couldnt understand what he was singing lol i guess the 4th is too clean

[Pancakesatthedisco]

i know what u mean if i wanted to listen to ballads i would i brought a snow patrol record

[tony920226]

4th is way more textured and mature....its good in its own way.

[craigtodd]

yeah ur right, first 3 albums are class

[BasterMates]

all good songs u douche

[cdcgb1]

Well done idiot camera man for looking at the rest of the band in the lead guitarists solo, grrrrr =)

[pizwoggins]

bear in mind some guitarists request not to be filmed so their style can't be mimicked....not that that's necessarily the case here...

[joshmc669]

three sorry

[joshmc669]

im still goner watch them at leed fest lol

but i think radiohead will nock them off the top of best live band iv seen.

the people who will complain about my comment are the people that bought only by the night because sex on fire is the best song by them. but to say that is to wipe shit on kings of leons name. fingers crossed there album thats comin out in 2010 will be amazin

peace and love

[pana619]

well their saying its gonna be a more 'dirty' album if so fuck yeah bring it!

[joshmc669]

i saw them in 08 and 07. there set was amazin in 07 because they played a all the awsome songs from there first free albums apart from this lol but in 08 they played to much because of the times. the highlight of of the 08 gig was wasting time and joes head and mollys chamber. there was no trani:(or california waiting or genius just new stuff.everyonearound me onlynew the new album which ish shit. its a shame there new album has done sowell because there gonerchurn some more shit out like17.

[ellisjones14]

this song is on fifa 2004 lol

[lucasproductions1]

they've brought this song back to their gigs! immense stuff!

[TheStrokes2009]

the fact they do not play this live just sets in stone they have lost all their awsomeness

[breannacharlotte]

They haven't lost any of their awesomeness, man. Get over it. They still play Molly's Chambers and California Waiting and a bunch of others from Youth And Young live. Their sound has changed, whatever. I like the sound much more from the first two albums, but they're still amazing. Stop complaining.

[rgeorge97613]

yea but still , this song live is awesome and thats all hes saying that they should do , so you stop complaining really . .

[breannacharlotte]

Yeah, by the way I saw them live last week and they played this one so you were wrong anyway..

[MauiKayine]

Nope,sellouts.

[chanelmakesmesmile]

I love I love i love this!!! What I would do to see them back then!!!

[bazmuk]

was it the cutting of the hair that turned them from this to what they are now...

first two albums are brilliant ..what happened then?

[ArteL69]

Miss the old kings of leon, you notice bloddy chart lovers bumming them now they probably wouldnt even recognise there old stuff was, still a great band however

[talsophos]

totally agree !!

[KidBk313]

completely agree

[actierney]

wot 4 years can do to a band from this to 2008!!!

[mag666gam]

I hate it when during the guitar (key word there) solo the camera focus' on the lead singer

[lespaul9396]

seriously, the solo is over before he gets a spot light on him

[Lukestar1991]

this puts them to shame now, they gone the complete opposite.

[ryan1111111555555555]

i think they're just trying new stuff, we dont like it but the pop lovers do lol, hopefully once they've made enough money or whatever they'll start rocking it out again :p

[Lukestar1991]

We've lost em, another good band out of a bad bunch has fucked up bad style for money and fame, but theres no way back for them and thats whats a shame. [wo that rhymes] they're new 'material' is utterly embaressing and mediocre, it angers me.

[ryan1111111555555555]

Nah trust me, they're from nashville, its in their blood to rock it like their first album, they are just doing this new stuff for the money, have faith, they probably know all us 'faithful' are pissed at them, BELIEVE

[SteelersFreak108]

They have already said that their new album is going to be "grungier" and "faster". Caleb said at a recent concert that it's going to sound more like Black Thumbnail than anything on Only By The Night.

[djcoxy]

amazing.............
