  • There are very few people who actually appreciate what KOL has evolved in to now :(

  • PORTUGAL!

  • all there albums are awesomme

  • I fair love hippies!!

  • Haha caleb almost look gay in his haircut! But the performance and the song is just simply fantastic. I love all of their albums

  • ♛ OF LEON

  • @PortugalTheAccount Which is ironic seeing as how they were more American sounding then....... Hahaha

  • ชอบมากกกกกกกกกกกก

    วงนี้ ที่สุดแล้ว

    แง่ะ

    

  • @PortugalTheAccount you're a real faggot KOL fan. no one gives a shit where they first became popular or whether or not you like their old stuff.

  • what a voice and .... love his hair cut

  • best album by Kings of Leon: Aha Shake Heartbreak

  • @AugustoGuiaro

    Agreed!

    the bucket is amazing!

  • @AugustoGuiaro I guess it's personal preference but I prefer YAYMH

  • @PortugalTheAccount

    ...that was the 2nd later, will there be a 3rd?

    If you are stating that "indie" means simply independent, ie. not signed, then once again you are playing semantics wars. First off, I never said that kol was itself indie: i stated that they were popular amongst the indie crowd. Such a crowd can, of course, also appreciate bands that are signed.

  • So, are you saying there is no such thing as an indie scene? Sit down.

    Further, if you are denying that, rightly or wrongly, "indie" and "alternative" are effectively synonymous in the popular vernacular, then I laugh at you and your "degree" in "business administration and management" whatever the fuck that has to do with anything.  Are you kidding me?

    I'm sure that you won't respond though, 'cause big man is done, right?

  • @PortugalTheAccount

    ...if you are denying that there are such things as "top 40 radio" and "college radio" and "classic rock radio" etc etc, each catering to a different crowd, then perhaps you should not be claiming to be an industry insider. deny the use of the term "indie"? who do you think you are? seriously? again with the trivial semantics arguments. there are legions of people behind me saying that kol sold out and changed their sound. that is a fact. fucking painful.

  • ...i dont care that you are a shitty little aor creep who's crap wage is subsidized with vip tix. i dont care who you blow. i dont care if you smoked every member of kol. you don't know shit about shit and the only reason you have your job is because you couldn't make it through school like the rest of us. kol is a shit band that used to be good before they sold out for a mainstream sound. they don't sound anything like they used to. fucking hell some people are daft.

  • @evilsnakes1

    ...to put things into perspective, kol, by your own drastically adjusted figure, had sold 3 million...

    the bloodhound gang ("ballad of chasey lain") have sold 6 million. so, by your account, the bloodhound gang must be simply massive, eh?

  • ...arguing semantics is not something i enjoy. "indie" is used many many many people, so if you have a problem with it, well, that's really your problem. Should i have called them "alternative kids"? "Scenesters"? What? Cause I don't give a fuck and you know exactly what I'm talking about. Shit, I saw oasis touring Definitely Maybe in north america and guess what? small venues and nothing but "indie kids". it sure as fuck wasn't the top 40 crowd. So take your semantics and piss off.

  • ...to say anything other than that kol's audience has become very generic/mainstream, that they are WAAAAAAAY more popular now, and that, most importantly, kol's sound/song-writing has changed to suit relative to their start is absolutely mind-blowingly retarded. I will go so far as to say that your opinion is so steeped in mental retardation that you should not be making your opinions public, especially since you have a nasty ability to make up facts and figures. In short, you fail.

  • @PortugalTheAccount

    wtf?

    "Worldwide sales of the album (only by the night) exceed 6.2 million copies, according to a press release for their 2010 summer gig at Hyde Park which will see the band play to its largest headlining audience of 65,000 in London"

    Right, their biggest album by far sold 6 million and you are saying the before that their 3 lesser albums sold 30 million. Makes sense.

  • let's see who else is on fifa 2004:

    Cabas,Babamania,Caesars,Café Tacuba,The Clones,The Cooper Temple Clause,Dawholeenchilada,The Individuals,Outlandish,Seamona­tor,SOFFet,Vicentico,Wir sind Helden,Zeca Pagodinho.

    ummmmmm?

  • They became big in europe before america, but they sold little compared to what they sold once they broke the american top-40 market. that is a fact. and uk is always obsessed with the "next big thing". nme is brutal for it. getting hounded by uk press is not unusual at all for up and comers in the uk.

  • ...and yes, i am american (canadian anyway) i was a fan from the start because i follow the european charts. i'm telling you that not many people other than ïndie kids"(accept the term mother fucker) knew who they were.  they certainly had little market penetration over here, but shit, neither do other huge bands such as girls aloud, but even they are only up to about 10 million sales worldwide.

  • ...i do want to make the final point that kol was not a whole lot more than "the next strokes" when they came out (not that they sound like that anymore). Shit, even kol wore that on their sleeve. And europe had picked up the strokes before america got wise too. it was the same shit on repeat. i think europeans get off on finding "the next great american band" before we do. It ain't no thing.

  • @PortugalTheAccount

    they were not huge. they were popular with indie kids but they were not making the millions that they are now.

  • @PortugalTheAccount especially not in America ;)

  • Oh I love this song!! Thanks for uploading!! Thumbs up

  • Love them, love this song, love this album, love their early stuff...haha what's not to love?

    I love Caleb, even with the girly hair lol

  • Best live act ever

  • Caleb looks fucking hot here

  • This song blows my mind. It's crazy Caleb hits one chord and it still rocks! How could you hate these guys???

  • This is my favourite song of theres .

  • The good old KOL

  • wow :O quiet night in Portugal huh?

  • @wesieboy56 Rock in Rio Lisboa is a festival for the rich people to watch madonna, britney and all that trash... So it was a quiet night.

  • does anyone know if KOL would play this at V Festival in 2 weeks?? because i havent seen it on any of their set lists recently. but its such a tune!!

  • Caleb hits one chord the whole song, and its still an incredible song, thats so awesome

  • everybody stop their bitching and moaning...if you wanna listen to their old shit, then listen to it...they're changing...at least they don't stay the same for 30 years like U2 or some shit like that

  • @et720

    Stay the same like U2 are you serious? U2 had a similar transition that kings of leon has. Maybe U2 has stayed the same for the past few albums but listen to October and then Achtung Baby and then say U2 didnt change, moron

  • @deeoosee Sorry I meant to say U2 sucks...I saw them live a few years ago, so did my dad. They had a barbecue at his house back in the early 80's...and he still thought their show sucked. They've never been the best musicians like KOL...they just have catchy songs...I;ll admit I like their 80"s hits, but the quality of musicianship just isnt there

  • @et720 stick to your BBQ`s your obviously a geek who takes it in the ass and loves Take that, your dad is your lover?

  • @woodyfurball That's your fantasy isn't it...geek porn at a BBQ, Dad puttin his weinershnizel in the buns smeared with sauce?

  • has anyone seen these lyrics? am i the only one who thinks theyre ridiculous?

  • they were way better than before they were mainstream

  • their old stuff was better period.

  • @loveXtoXride  so much better in 04

  • one of the best live bands ever!

  • EU QUERIA TER TADO LA PAH!

  • They can do anything... one of the best rock and roll bands of our era... hands down

  • Matt looks so bad ass in his skinny drugged out body, killin it on guitar.

  • Caleb actually admited that they are sellouts, It's in spin magazine. I think that OBTN had some good songs, manhattan, revelry, even sex on fire, I think that it is a good pop song, but I preefer their old sound. The thing that really makes me angry is the fact that they only care about new fans, they are just playing their new stuff, my friends and I were disappointed when we saw them last year, I don't mind if they chage their style, but I also want to hear old songs live

  • @manuelsoma1989

    They dont necessarily care about new fans more, because they are not classed as a stadium rock band they have to play more of their newer stuff

  • yea i mean everyone changes even in music look at the beatles in there first album then to there last they changed soooo much but they were good in all ways kings of leon reminds me of the great bands such as the stones they are both jus soooo great

  • @ele523 , the only difference is that beatles didnt change from singin love me do, to singin helter skelter in just one album, it was a whole proccess the change of their style, it took them albums from changin from pop songs, to more phsycodelic songs, and KOL they change just from one album to other, i mean im a musician, i will get bored if i play the same stuff for years, but you can change to a non-sellout way, but they did, what can you do?, expect that they realese another good album

  • Yes, but there is a different between changing a genre just because you want something different, then changing it to collaborate with popular music. They started off quite country, and are now PURE pop. They have changed their image to fit in and their music

  • So listen theri new song called "Lucifer" - this doesn't sound like pop song:)

  • people keep saying this band has sold out, but i don't see it_

    only by the night was a great album that reminds me of albums like OK computer.

    {radiohead}

  • really i love kings of leon all there stuff and in my eyes its not like they put out a record with a bunch of good new songs to be called sellouts or w.e. people call them its not there fault everyone liked there new songs and they got really big it jus happend

  • Im a new fan of kol but i tend to listen to their older stuff.

  • Absolutely as good as KoL get! Caleb on form is like nothing the music world has seen before

  • crap!!! i love them so much when they weren't famous !!!!! don't turn over KOL

  • KOL will be as big as U2, as big as GnR... you name it. They will go down in history as one of the great rock bands - people will be talking about them in 'Music Performance 101' 40 years from now.

  • One of my favorite songs, too! I miss the old KOL!

  • aaaahhhhhh excellent. this is when KOL wrote raw, great tunes. I can't say I like what they've evolved into...

  • lol they've sold out and are now more pop. shame really

  • one of my favourite songs of all time. i forgot how young thy looked back then :O

  • Tks for the vid. Sound great! My favorite.

  • woah this will always be my Fav. and, they do sound best live. Love their style back then. What they wear now is too much like uniform, its like Greenday, what they wore during A I its like a custome; not so much now.

  • couldn't agree more.

  • cant believe you said kings of leon is like greenday.. fucking disgusting

  • Kol are nothing like Fuc*kn greenday. But the way they are dressing they may aswell. But you know, KoL are pulling some pretty mean designer clothing like Armani, burberry, and Dior.

  • Kings Of Leon is just one of those bands that seems to sound Better live.

  • that's insanely true. sometimes you can't quite "understand" their song on the record.

  • @InsaneRationality

    i saw them live in phillie and it was the best show ive ever been to.....AMAZING

  • @InsaneRationality /watch?v=EosX5fqTDSk

    sounds pretty much exactly the same to me

  • @InsaneRationality yeah true, like nirvana

  • His voice sounds too good to be singing live. He has one of the best live performance voices in rock history. His voice is just like the album or better when singing live on stage.

  • like Matt Bellamy from Muse (L)

  • Shut up.

  • they were voted the best live band, by NME I think. In the older albums, most songs were recorded live, thats why they sound so dame good live

  • they're sikk live

    just like muse:]

  • damn right!

  • check out up and comming scottish band

    third connection , simple things

    cheers

  • what do you mean with that?

  • lol... this band is slowly creeping into my music i listen to everyday. caleb looks like a 70's porn star without the stash. lol. i've only seen him with his short hair (because i've only seen them live in 08)

  • good times to roll onnNNnnnn...

  • i presume theyre supporting U2 here.

  • superb band ..thats huge in Europe yet here in the USA they seem struggle

  • i love them, and unfortunately i'm an american hahaha

  • yeah. here in Arizona they just upped the price from $4.50 to about $5.20

  • thanks man.they're 7.50 over here

  • they are alot less popular here than in europe, yet they are from tennessee. wtf!?! im actually glad though. 2 years in a row theyve come to a small club that holds maybe 700 people in louisville ky where i live, and there is no better way to see such an astonishing band.

  • i wish i could come see them there...

  • I've got Kings of Leon "On Call" live at Benicassim FIB music festival. See it by cliking above on my name ( blue letters)

    Thanks

  • I'm very jealous of you!!!!!

  • did u go tues nite or wed? i was at tues, fuckin mental. ceiling tiles falling off and everything!

  • Seeing them in 2 weeks. personally i love how they are so appreciated in the UK.

  • well in the us people like kanye west and timbaland and all that shit, so what do you think? you guys have a selective taste of music and should be proud of it !

  • Well, I see everyone of us thinks these guys should be huge... They are an amazing band, and it's a shame some other bands that are horse shit get all the attention :/.

  • also saw them at the fillmore in detroit. came all the from canada. it was the best show ive ever seen by far. they are amazing, and yes, totally underrated

  • I saw the Kings at The Fillmore in Detroit. 2nd best show Ive ever seen (behind the Chili Peppers). In my opinion, one of the most underrated bands in the states right now

  • I went to see them perform in Manchester and they were among the top 5 bands I ever saw live and I have seen a lot of bands! Strange how they are under valued in US, maybe more of a novelty to us.

  • I don't understand why they are so under-rated in America, in England these guys are considered pretty much untouchable.

  • Man, they are awesome.

  • This guys should get more attention, they are so amazing...

  • ya dude, i saw em last night. They were amazing. id say they were almost as good as the chili peppers.

  • i just love the feeling i get everytime i listen to this track!!! mexican cheers!!

  • these guys are fucking insane live. and an insane band all round...
