  • fs why is caleb so fit

  • haha @ the scream from the audience that totally hurt my ears at the beginning

  • Brilliant!!They're a fecking brilliant band...Luv em..all their stuff, 'specially this!!

  • KoL did not "go mainstream", the mainstream came to KoL. They have not "sold out" they have progressed, just as Led Zep and many other bands did, This is perhaps their pinnacle tho, which is not to dengrate any of the more recent stuff as they set the bar very high.

  • woooo fucking awesome, they still are awesome B)

  • This reminds me that Kings of Leon used to FUCKING ROCK!

  • does Caleb give beyonce attitude lessons? Seriously the neck jerk is killing me! x

  • @TheJennao get stuffed its kings of leon

  • @rugbyfreakful yes i am fully aware its kings of leon, i typed kings of leon into the search box and this kings of leon song came up. And why exactly should I get stuffed? Because I was joking?

  • AH!!! Jared and his hair <3 Anyway KOL is a fuck** great band ...

  • HAHAHAHAHAAAA pause it at 1:44 jizz face looooooooooooool

  • GOOD THAT SONG !!!!

    I LIK'T

  • they were gods, they still are gods, they will always be gods.

  • Kol are shit

  • Comment removed

  • @SL4GW4GG3N I think you mean "the shit"

  • @SL4GW4GG3N you're shit.

  • Sounds so raw live!! amazing. 

  • one of the best bands live! and im sorry but they have changed SO MUCH and no. it is not better, BRING BACK THE OLD KINGS OF LEON, also bring back they days they didnt give a shit about their apperance.

  • @georgieporgie118 bring back the drugs basically?

  • YO WIT UR SWITCHBLADE POSSEY, I GET MA GUNS FROM SAAAAA...OUTH!!!

  • I looked at the title and I thought I would see Caleb and Jonathan Ross fighting...

  • @dimitrisalomao no you didn't

  • can't believe i haven't bottled someone to this song

  • I'm not going to give my two cents on the musical direction that KOL have recently taken but just wanted to say that this is such a great performance and deserves at least a fifth of the god knows how many views that Sex on Fire, Use Somebody and Radiation have collectively amassed.

  • @laurenceakaspecktah Couldnt agree with you more! well said!

  • R.I.P

  • KOL are only good when they have cocaine. Someone get these boys some blow.

  • poop

  • Caleb's little headshake when he sings *sighs* and Jared's constant bass face, they were so badass back then..

  • Kings of Leon, the band who turned down glee for fear of "Selling out".

    Kings of Leon allowed Volkswagon to use their songs on VW's car commercials, that's totally NOT "Selling Out".

    Ah Why can't they realise how shit they are and actually make good music again?

    All the wankers who dismissed me when I was loving this band, saying stuff like "Wtf is this shit" are now the same wankers who can't help but serenade a stupid girl with the nauseating borefest that is "use somebody".

  • @julesmorton Its people like you who need help with musical taste. Both Phoenix and The Black Keys had songs in car commercials and nobody called them sellouts, mainly because its not "selling out". KoL is making good music still, its just people like you and hundreds of other who have such a fucking narrow scope on musical taste and refuse to listen to anything else. Every genre is good in its own way; yes four kicks is very different than use somebody but KoL isn't comparing the songs, you are

  • @julesmorton Oh and btw, sorry if some of us would like to serenade "stupid" girls with certain songs. I guess we just choose pussy over cock, unlike you LOL.

  • @duggie25 I think any argument becomes obsolete when you assume what my sexuality is.

    Also i'm not condemning selling music to adverts, i think it's a smart way of making money, what i don't approve of is people exclaiming to the world that they are "rock 'n' roll" and refuse to sell out when they clearly do, it's called hypocrisy.

    By the way, I believe my view is a little bit more popular here duggie25.

    Oh and for you information, I choose pussy over cock, though i do not laugh those who do

  • @duggie25

    not choose pussy over cock.

    I had a lot to say.

  • @Webber147 You fucking faggot. You clearly did not understand what they were trying to achieve with their first 2 albums if you "prefer" their new stuff. Get the fuck outta here

  • Oh my, I remember watching this.

    I nagged my mum all day to let me stay up.

    I was somthingl ike six at the time so It was a big thing.

    God. I wish I was older.

  • @97ros97 Judgin by that story your like 13 or something? congratulations for listening to real music and not justin beiber! There is hope yet!

  • @IrishRhavin

    Yes. You guess correctly.

    There is hope yet... Not all of us have turned in morons.

    Long live Rock'n'Roll. :)

  • I LOVE KOL...

  • i totally love everything kings of leon does! just, i really am feelin their older stuff! :D

    new stuff is good too but man, i have a love for their old days!

  • i prefer their older stuff like this, i said they could be a big rock band too my mates a few years ago n i was right but i dont really like their new stuff!

  • i couldnt care less who liked them first, what i do care about is the fact they sold out

  • hey these guys are pretty good...

  • Its not that people liked them 1st, or that they got reallly popular that annoys me no one gives a fuck. Its that the genre changed man now they are complete pop

  • I miss the days when Kol played their old songs fast :(

  • Caleb is soooooooooo hot her, good times.

  • "gweat band!"

  • bass lick at 2:04 :P

  • KoL always have wicked bassline on their songs, hard to believe Jared only learned how to play a month before recording Youth and and Young Manhood.

  • they were so unfathomably cool back then! they're still brilliant, just not as cool. I love them..

  • I'm gonna miss Friday night with jonathan Ross. It had some great moments. This was one of them lol

  • is it me or does caleb kinda look like Ozzy Osborne in his early days here?

  • @zerrissen28 Haha yea he does :D

  • @36hunters glad I'm not the only one who saw it :)

  • Ahah! Now this is the KOL we all wanna hear :D

  • total orgasm music.

  • @Webber147 for a lot of people music (and more generally artistic) preferences have a lot to do with what's been called cultural capital...liking a band says something about you. a lot of self-proclaimed "true" fans are mad that KoL went mainstream (partly a conscious move on their part) b/c liking KoL doesn't give them the "insider" status that it used to. as KoL has becoming more cool, they've become *less cool* for liking them. pretty silly stuff, in my opinion, but there it is.

  • I find it appalling that people can lay blame on a band for being mainstream. I read an interview where I think Matt was asking how you can be a band and not want to be successful and want more people to listen to you. FYI when youth and young manhood came out these guys were instantly mainstream in the UK.

  • their older stuff is amazing!! this is my all time favorite song :) listen to it before my band has a gig every time and it gets me soo pumped!! love u KOL!! new stuff is great too :) love these guys

  • There old stuff is just brilliant!!!

  • "who's struttin now?" !

  • Man, how is it possible to make being this good so effortless?!

  • Huff mitt don't take no nonsense!

  • not a big fan of new kings of leon stuff too main stream bring back the gd old days of four kicks and co

  • @LDCSDD1 TOO MAINSTREAM? I'm sure K.O.L. give up all the success to appease you and the others who give them shit for being get this, " a great band". Yeah right. How is it that someone else's opinion of a band determine your opinion of that same band. It's called growth it's called change. You all have changed from seven years ago why can't they.

    And yeah I know it's your opinion and your entitled to it just as much as they are entitled to write what they want.

  • ass-kicking!!!!

  • Bring back the good old days...Sniff...

  • what does he say at the end? happy birthday something??

  • @m333tt how bout that...haha Happy birthday noice

  • @m333tt not 100per cent sure ! but i think he says "happy bday grandma"

  • @Webber147 no a REAL fan is someone who truely loves the music that doesnt mean they have to like everything the band puts out a real fan can admit when something is shit and only by the night(excluding a few songs) is shit

  • @pana619 I agree. At the time of this video they were perfect. I'm a KOL fan but above all I'm a music lover. And yes i do think their last effort was mediocre. i would be happy for them to be recognized if they didn't had to sell themselves for it.

    How can a band that wrote this song, could end up writing the utter shit that is Use Somebody?

  • Happy Birthday to who?

    I couldn't hear over the applause.

  • It's a shame they sold their credibility for money, but ultimately in this vacous society they'll end up better off for it. They'll be liked by people that have no understanding of music and will have to answer questions from souless tv presenters for major corporate channels, I for one am thankful at least that they gave us two great records, it's just a shame in this world that the only way to truly succeed is to release the lowest common denominater music

  • the KOL are still a great band and all there real fans like all of there albums because they are all class, not one bad song!!!

    i`m sick of people complaining about there latest material!

  • people are idiots it's music listen like it love it hate but please accept it you just cant change shit i see it asmore special if htere's only a few songs ya like so if ya dont like their new stuff fine ut it's reaching new people every day like it should be the beatles became pretty big what would you say to some liverpool locals that say there crap they changed their style their too mainstream

  • I love how caleb looks and behave in this vid!

    And I don't blame them for changing their music and style,they're getting old and it's natural....Just hope their next record will be more suthern and dirty.

    yeah boy.

  • How can you blame them for trying some thing new?

    Maybe they didn't "sell their souls" you over dramatic queen, but instead let their art evolve doesn't mean this stuff aint inside but they where experimenting. Least their not staying stale and old just to appeal to people and doing what they want.

  • My voice sounds just like this.

  • Their releasing a new album later this year, i'm happy to hear it's a little bit more grungey than the last one

  • It's so horrible what they've done to themselves.

    They were so amazing and different, now they remind me of U2 or something

  • @craigusss

    fuckin hell leave them alone

    i'd like to see you turn down the money they were offered

  • Sold their soul to the money Devil...have a beer and chill.....come talk to us real people..I bought your CD's

  • Man.

    Eventually, I hope they realize that Caleb's voice is not suited for whiney emo-rock like so many other bands are doing now, and go back to this- this rough screamin' awesomeness.

    We can only hope.

  • @sarcasticallyyummy "whiney emo-rock" .. WTAF you talking about fool?

  • @sarcasticallyyummy Its their band and their choice. They can do whatever the fuck they want.

  • matts solo in this this is awesome

  • Remember when KOL were actually good?

  • sorry i dont remember when they were still good... i remember when they were better they they are now though, because they are still amazing, they were just better before

  • @MYELLESTATE Disagree. You will always have those older songs, they will always play those songs. They're a fucking awesome band and that's all there is to it.

  • @MYELLESTATE SHUT UP SHUT UP GO AWAY AND DIEEE!!!! YOU PASSIVE GENERIC ASSWIPE

  • @MYELLESTATE they sucked before ,,they are awesome now

  • @VIDEOMASTER240 you sucked my dick before

  • @MYELLESTATE Legend of a comment!! Kings Forever!!:)

  • your an idiot...lol...no offense..

    you could say something like "when I use to like them"...but "when they were actually good?"

    lol really??

    you cant really go from good to bad...you can go from "i use to like them, to now i dont..."

    but a good musician never gets bad...they just get to where alot of people dont like them anymore...you know, change...

    you grew up, so did they.

    just dont take it out on them...they are still doing what they want, and thats all that matters..

  • touche my good sir haha they are still bad ass.. i mean their old stuff appeals to me more, but the new stuff is still pretty BA

  • i love calebs head move he does when he sings the chorus

    so sexy!1

  • I cannot believe his voice sounds like this live. Best live band ever, easily!

  • jared's old bass.... he looks better now with his alpine white thunderbird..the bass makes him sexy xD

  • he's also playing with his fingers here which is ok but it just feels weird lol

  • he smashed his alpine white one he only has the black one now

  • And check the face he makes at 0:57! Lol! Love it!

  • Caleb looks like a school kid with his hair and his jumper and tie. lol he's so cute. I like the neck rolling he does too lol.

  • "How bout that" haha

    love jonathan ross,

    KOL are amazing, my favourite band ever :)

  • They are fuckin amazin!!! Love this song:)

  • THEY ARE AMAZING!!

    And just enjoy the music!...thats what they do it for

    Jonathan Woss Lol, i love him hes funny lol

  • its not the fact that they are popular, because they've been incredibly popular in the UK, its the fact that their new album sucks ass

  • it is "kings of leon" not THE kings of leon jonaffon

  • I like BOTH their old stuff and new stuff aand, I dunno why everyone's rippin on their case so much, people change, their music changes as do the way they dress and look! There'r sooo many bands that change their styles completely with each album, so stfu!

    :)

  • A great point well made. I've been to see them live several ties now and every time is amazing. The reason why is because each time is so different with each album. EVERY single album of theirs can be played from start to finish and is a masterpiece in it's own right. They don't try to conform which is what I like about them, not trying to replicate their previous work and moving with the times. Remember how old they are, a lot of their musical changes is simply due to them maturing as people.

  • completely agree.

  • i love his voice!

  • que buena voz

  • WTF sell-outs!?!? They are enterainers, and if they want to be famous and make good money, their gonna make songs MOST people would like! Not wat just a few houndreds of thousands of people would like, but what millions of millions would like!!!! They got a great fuckin unique style!!! One of the best rock bands out there, if not THE best!! Quit your fucken bitchin!! BTW their a rock band not a fuckin church choir!! They got attitudes fuck head!! A not givin a flying fuck attitude!!

  • i want caleb's hair. XD

  • I LIKE HIS VOICE

  • i like his voice :)

  • super!!!  desde COLOMBIA

  • seeing them in like 2 weeks!!! woohooooo!

  • Nathan looks like an Amish person in this video, hilarious. Amazing song.

  • this song is too rock and roll !!

  • sense a shiver down your spine when Cale starts playing

  • Could not agree with you more!

  • only by the night is a gooooood album!

  • I like all of their stuff both new and old. To compare is pointless because it's all a matter of opinion and besides, this sure won't be their last albums and like all great bands it's good that they can try diffeent stuff. They're still unbeatable for raw energy in their performances.

  • Amen to that.

  • first time i heard them is on this show, wer amazing then and still are :) and there new album is awesome, one the most likable albums ever

  • I think I actually watched this not knowing them yet haha and I agree with Webber147! Wish ppl would stop bitching about ppl liking their new album!!

  • caleb is soo cute here :)

  • SOO Amazing!

    There Brillient Live

    I Saw Them In June

    There SO Good,

    Absolutly In LOVE,

    There Older Music Is Better Than There

    Newer, But I Still Love Them!

    KoL <3

  • They should make more records like this instead of the stuff thats on 'only by the night' ...

    The Kings are my favourite band but they are ruining themselves just to sell records

  • what do you say then to the likes of the prodigy who tell their fans to "fuck off" if they're seated during one of their shows? he trying to get the crowd going fool you try getting 80,000 odd people to make some noise without a little incouragement

  • funny cause all the other artists at Redding were getting pretty warm receptions. shitty music = no noise... fool

  • Because of the times is their best

  • only by the night does not TOUCH off the rest of the albums.....not by a loooooooong shot!! given the exception of i want you it really doesnt come close! and i know im not the only one who thinks that!

  • to be truthfully honest i only started to like them when sex on fire came out.

    but now i do love there older songs better :)

    only by the night is amazing, and hopefully the next will be too.

    and i am glad that people are embracing and liking kings of leon because they are not a known band. sex on fire was there best single and people love it :)

  • Sooo much better then Only By The Night.

  • I agree very strongly!!!!!!!

  • jeezus some people are so sad, moaning about how they are the true fans because "i knew them from the beginning" ¬_¬ so what if people only started liking them because of only by the night? maybe they just didnt explore music that much but because the 4th album has been so publicised that these people are now aware of how good KOL are!

    get a life, fans are fans, END OF

  • Yes you're right!! I only discovered Oasis a year ago and now i'm a huge fan of them... and i don't even like their latest albums very much

  • haha im the same with franz ferdinand now too, didnt liek them much, saw them live and now i really like them:P even tho i am aware they have been around for quite sometime ;)

    KOL FOREVER <3 saw them at 02 arena they were amazing, READING here i come! :D

  • I Agree that all fans is good fans, but i can't say that i like when Sex on fire is the only song they have heard. Even worse when they also like the shit ass band "Tokyo Hotel" as i saw a lot of people in line to the Copenhagen concert 7/7 had. Many of them in the age of 13-16. When the played "Four kicks" it was absolutely quite. No one was aware of that that song even existed?? All i say is, i cant understand how you can buy a ticket to a consert, and only know 1 or 2 songs at most??

  • lol to be fair 4th album was probly the worst purely cos of the amount of ballads on it. apart from crawl an maybe sex on fire was asuch a boring album. 3rd is best by miles i rekn. 4th album is too much bon jovi/springsteen snoredome stadium rock for my taste

  • blew my ears off.... thx fuckers

  • Turn down your volume.. Fucker

  • WTF? Pedestrian, generic indie bullshit rules.

    Apparently

  • aha shake heartbreak is their best album by far

  • first 3 albums are epic. the fourth album is good

  • you cant make a generalisation that people who got into the band on their 3rd or 4th album dont like their older stuff as well. i only heard of them when they released because of the times but i went and bought theyre older albums as well just because i didnt know about them when they first came out doesnt meen im not a true fan

  • yep I found out about them from their newest stuff, but I've bought all four albums now and love aha shake heartbreak the best

  • exact same thing as me

  • i heard this very song five years ago

    and it was awesome.

    og kol fan.

  • Only by the night has NOTHING on the previous albums! <3 They're so good.

  • agreed (:

  • The first 2 albums are pure class. This is a top performance. The Kings Rule!!

  • i loved them when they were first out and i still love them :) i love all their songs and by making one bad song shouldn't mean you lose all respect to them as a band ^o) you obvioulsy couldn't of liked them that much to begin with. so please get a life.. ¬¬

  • ive been a fan since holy roller novocaine!!MY FAVOURITE BAND!!

  • Caleb looks so young :O hes so cute :)

  • I could never work out why they weren't bigger now It pisses me off the amount of people who are KOL 'fans'. Where were they 6 years ago. Christ where were they 2 years ago. They're still great though and this song rocks.

  • Comment removed

  • KOL used tobe great but now i wouldent be surprised if their next album was produced by timbaland

  • what a dickhead thing to say

  • They still fucken rock the shit out of alot of rock bands. and they would never go down that road. get your shit straight you still love them and you know it.

  • Nope, i used to love them, especially Aha Shake Heartbreak, and then when eagerlay awaiting their third album I heard the piece of shit that is 'On Call' and was ahocked and lost all respect. It was clear they were simply looking for the big bucks which they got, but had to make your typical popular commercial rock to make it. Make his voice clearer and sing a lot slower, clean up the lyrics and change their image completely.

  • your completely right, i only listen 2 tha 1st and 2nd album, 3rd isnt that bad but tha 4th i think is terrible,so many people have jumped on their band wagon all because of tha 4th album, lots of people dont even know that they had the 1st and second albums, ah well

  • on call is awesome dude, its in no way commercial

  • maybe not commercial but more of a polished production

  • Whats wrong with that?

  • The first 2 albums had a more rawish sort of sound which i prefer although im not slating Because of the Times its a top album.

  • only by the night is more commercial definetly and doesnt come close to the first 3
