  • was at this aswell two years back,i like kol but its true there was no atmosphere or interaction wit the crowd...as for this year..COLDPLAY WERE FUCKIN UNREAL!!!

  • They said "hello DubIin" and it felt like they hated us, the Killers spoke IRISH to us!

  • fuyckn hate the killers

  • was amazzziiinnng!!!

  • @moorepj03 first of all your a loser for looking up how many songs each band played in their sets because you obviously didnt know that off hand! they were shit because they didnt interact with the crowd at all, might aswel have sat back stage doing the set.. im not big fans of either band but you know when somebody puts on a show and KOL didnt!

  • i miss this :( the kilers where the best though....cant wait for 2011 :)

  • there was NO atmosphere at this gig... may as well have stayed at the campsite.. then again, i was slightly hammered...!!

  • THIS BAND IS SO AMATEUR.....WHAT IS THE APPEAL?

  • @rrrrdavid1 -_-

  • Just stumbled across a couple of videos of a true rough diamond, His name is Conall Toal. The videos are very amateur but the sound and lyrics are great. He’s really writing about something real which is nice to hear these days. If You like him maybe you could comment and Spread the word!

  • i agree lionelli889 they were definitelythe biggest letdown compared to 2008 when they were epic,as for the 'sex on fire crew' what a bunch of wasters,you have to appreciate the old stuff.oxegen should only let bands come back to headline every 4 or 5 years not one year after the next....

  • i passed out for this.... :(

  • 1.48

  • cant wait for this year again.. though i thought kings of leon might have been better.. they were the main reason i went, i was in the pit and everyythin but they kinda disappointed me.. thought they would have interacted with the crowd more.. it was just like pressin play on a cd player..

  • That was the greatest time of my life

  • Please dont let them come back this year..BIGGEST let down at oxegen by FAAAAAAR! Since when does the main attracction not do an encore?!

    Killers stole the show!!

  • @lionelli889

    Tooo true kilers were bettr,then again KOL were waaaaaaaay better than blur

  • @lionelli889 Am I the only one that thinks that encores are completely out of hand? It seems like it's necessary now for a show to have an encore.

    I'd be more happy with just extra songs, rather than wait for the band to walk off then back on stage :s

    An encore was always supposed to be an impropmtu thing, not planned...

  • @Queenrlz wahaaa. finally someone agrees with me. if they would of done an encore they would of play the same amount of songs

  • eminem and jay z are class...its goin b class

  • eminem and jay z are class? NO just no, thats commercial shit rap music should be no fucking place for that at oxegen. gonna be a scumfest this year with the type of people that are into that shit. MUSE AND KASABIAN are ly unreal bands at it

  • @chilipeppers777 totally agree man, hyde park this year for kol

  • @lionelli889 , since they were about to pull out before hand, as u can hear in this video the speakers were damaged by the wind and rain, have u got what u want..eminem? id pay 280 to see the kings of leon on there own at oxegen

  • the killers were AMAZING!!!!! :-) was not expectin them to be so good

  • @lionelli889 I was there last year also... No crowd interaction either... They were very disappointing.. 2 much of the new pop stuff out of them aswel.. Should had played their older stuff!!!

  • @lionelli889 Since KOL played 20 songs compared to killer's measly set of 14 before their encore

  • brings back so many gud memories,hope der back 4 nxt year!

  • Their set was AMAZING at Oxegen!!! That crowd was massive!!! Took me 40 minutes to get out when it was finished!

  • @giraeldisco  that's my dream to

  • who was there when like the whole crowd to the stage left got pushed down? lol... i was ragin coz i was chatting this girl up then fukin fell on her :L ... i was like.. oh that was smooth -.- lol...

    but i thot they were pritty good

  • You are boring

  • Oxegen 09 just made my whole year...absolutely epic!! cant wait till next yr!

  • I WAS IN THE SECOND ROW!!! it was so cool because caleb was standing looking at the crowd and then he turned around and pointed at matthew to start the intro of this song! BEST NITE OF MY LIFE!!!!!!

  • Where did this ''oxygen'' go down? It looks ragin'.

  • ireland

  • its an anual massive music concert that takes place in Kildare, Ireland, it usually takes place in july or august and has over 12 stages with bands such as the killers,razorlight,kings of leon, the verve, lady gaga and many more

  • oh my dream is going to that

    festival!

  • oh my god you have to go...ive benn the last 2 years its amazing. its on around 9-12th July every year.i live in dublin so its only a bus journey away! and that bus journey is a pub on wheels...people playing guitar...everyone drinking and smoking and singing...too bad the journey only lasts an hour...

  • that's awesome one more reason to go! but i have to wait some years cuz i live in mexico and i'm only fifteen so maybe in 6 years and in vacations better

    oh and one question

    do you have to pay or something?

  • ah ya won't have to wait 6 years! you only have to be 17 to be allowed in...and you can legally drink here in Ireland when your 18! yes its about 240euro's for a 4 day camping ticket. you go to concerts whenever you want or drink in your tent in the campsite whenever you want :D im sure theres amazing concerts in America though...a lot closer than Ireland!

  • great is not that expensive

    for 4 days and camping

    great thanks!

  • well man if you are goin i would recomend it cuz its jus pure class im goin this year

  • first timelookin at these vids since oxegen and it looks good but i have seen them a lot of times now and not to bang on abou ''im a real fan i dont like them now etc" but that crowd destroyed that concert and was nothing compared to previous occasions ive seen them.

  • Why wat happened with the crowd?

  • looking forward to next year tho! KOL are veterans of Oxegen by now

  • fans ruined it

  • great gig but the "sex of fire crew" totally ruined it for me ! you could tell they hadnt a clue of any other song KOL played which seriously wrecked my head! and still cant believe they didnt play MILK..i mean come on its a CLASSIC!!!

  • I agree couln't believe I actually nearly cried!!!

  • There Such Heros."!

    Oxygen Was EPIC..!

  • Oxegen was great, The Killers AND Kings of Leon at the same festival :D

    Same goes for TITP's line up.

  • they were ok 2 yrs ago but were shite this time around...

  • i taut they were good but they were better when i saw them in the o2 in december..ya cant do anythin bou the ones jumpin on the bandwagon. there missin out by not knowin songs from the previous albums..couldnt believe they didnt do pistol of fire unless i missed it somehow

  • Again, i have to comment, im 32, been at festivals ages, and Oxegen 09 was musically great, but a sizeable section of the crowd were pretentious. Now i AM a KOL fan, and i have to say, they were good but i have seen them better and lets get real, the "Sex on firettes" were in attendance and HADNT a clue of the previous material. Thats a FACT, as i said i like the KOL but lack of interaction, no encore, ommission of classics(Milk) kinda sums it up. Pity the fans didnt listen to their other albums

  • couldn't agree more with ya charlie!

  • They wer amazing.....I was like four ppl from the front....Best day of my life

  • I wasnt there for 2008 but i tot they were amazin this year! As for all the sex on fire fans, what can ya do? I agree its kinda annoying, but i still luved it :) i dont understand why people like chilipeppers777 click into the video just to moan about them. Fuck off an listen to music you DO like!

  • nowherenear as good as they were at oxegen 08 , the "sex on fire" fans ruined this gig. . i creamed wen they played red morning light, only to look around and hardly anyone around me knew the song, like wtf !

  • I know its so annoying they are only there for one or two songs!!

  • They only have a handful of decent songs to be fair. They seem really good live though, I'd love to see them.

  • they're good enough live, but i think they are a bit played out now

  • a handful of decent songs?? i hope your only talking about their new album! listen to their first albums! took over my life..

  • Does anyone think that kings of leon actually care if people only know them since sex on fire

  • i have to agree i hate the ''fans'' that jumped on the bandwagon as much as the next person...i wish i could have been there.....

  • they came on separate flight cos of the row they had at t in the park. so played shite.

  • Comment removed

  • Don't wacth them

  • your right and i hope the pricks do aswell fuckin pack of faggots and their fansa re just complete idiots that know 2 or 3 songs.CLOWNS

  • yeah and thats very true about fans that know two songs..i can bet you that 75% of that crowd only know kings of leon since sex is on fire was released

  • nah i reckon 75% of that crowd was full of folk goin to each other " I KNEW THEM B4 YOU, IM COOLER!!!" jesus fuck,, every KOL video has comments about how theyv becom sell outs,,, let them play what they fkin want

  • shut up you faggot..i dont know if there sell outs i just hate them cause there shit

  • Not as good as 08 tho :( Bloc party wer amazing!

  • They were shit at Oxegen this year , they couldnt give a crap about the gig , Bloc Party were 100 times better

  • i was there...right in da pit....since 2 dat day! Fuckin EPIC!!!

  • some people really are dumb pieces of shit

  • yeah i was disappointed too!!

    PS sidestage looks well boring:S

  • yeah it quite shit up there, but handy when its lashin rain out!

  • I am a big Kol fan and I must say that this gig was really disappointing- they didnt even play milk!!! if it was your first time seeing them and you were disappointed believe me they are better then this live, i have seen them 4 times and they are great, they were just having a bad day and it reflected in their performance. as for comparing them to the chillis to be honest they are not as good or as big as the chillis yet, some day they may get there.

  • chillipeppers im embarassed for you? if their so shit..... why are they ahead of the chillis in the charts and in my opinion are boring! also if kol were SHIT/FUCKING SHIT do you really think they would be headlining oxegen? funnallily enough i think your wrong its because their good infact their great! its your opinion that thinks their shite, its not fact their shit so untill you get your head out of your arse stop tlking

  • There's a simple explanation for the charts thing you were talking about: The chillis haven't realeased any album lately, otherwise they would have given KOL a run for their money. Period.

    And no, I don't thing KOL is shit myself. In fact I think they're quite enjoyable, but to say they are great? Man, this song is a huge rip-off of U2 (Use somebody as well for instance) which is in my opinion the road they want to follow now, a more commercial mindset, but I ain't taking their reasons away.

  • maybe coz chilis arent in the charts coz their makin a new album u fucking stupid cunt do u no anything?do the world a favour and die

  • chilipeppers youre clearly a cunt.

    this was an amazing set,i was there i love kol & im not one of these fans who have heard sex on fire & downloaded the entire discography their old stuff is amazing. you however really need to sort yourself out if you dont like the music dont comment the videos,and be a bit more musically diverse,coming from a 15 year old! kol are welcome in ireland anytime they like!

  • ya thtas y da chilis ave done fuck all in ages saw them at oxegen a few years ago and gave a half arsed shitty peformance!! to call kol shit u are a clown and y are uon watching the video so u sad cunt

  • god love ya it not your fault some people are just born thick.if they are that shit what were ya doing looking them up ya probably were;nt even their you sad little excuse for a human

  • goodtobeirish get a fucking life u piece of shit

  • you're starting to sound more mature with every comment ya post

  • shut up chillipeppers ya twat

  • make me u fucking loser

  • fucking freak

  • tink d word ur lookin for is dont???

  • I was actualy never into kings of leon, then i heard sex on fire- hated it, use somebody- hated it, decided to see what else they have and tbh all there older stuff is fukin amazin , nuts to most of this new stuff.

    And i agree that idiot that have no clue about KOL have just jumped in because of their catchy but to be honest shit singles in the chart. However i do like notion :P

  • can someone tell me if there r gunna b highlights on mtv2 for KOL n blur?

  • i dont know wa ani1s complainin about i was in the pit and everyone was just goin mental and havin a good time

  • I'm sickened..I realli wanted to see them but I cudn get the time off work..They were unreal last year though...what a band!!:D

    Killers rocked on Sunday night though.!!

  • The problem is kings of leon attract too many fairweather fans who in turn put a downer on the atmosphere!!

  • kings of leon are the biggest band wagon band ALIVE was in the pit for them and barely anyone knew mollys chambers one of their best songs and its old.all idiots wanted to hear was fuckin sex on fire and all that shit.never seen such a band with such AWFULL BANDWAGON fans.please dont EVER come back to ireland kings of leon u sellout cunts

  • is it there fault there fans dont like, in your opinion, there best songs? dont get me wrong i love kings and my fav song off all time is trani, but i personally wouldnt call kings sellouts,

  • i totally love how you are blaming the band for this. yes, molly chambers is a great song, but if you were honestly expecting them to go on creating the same music forever...no offence: bad idea.

    Ive been listening to them for a few years and i think closer is one of the best songs they have penned. cold desert was amazing as well. It's good they are known, maybe some of their older music will now be appreciated because albums like YAYM are underrated by the public.

    Arizona is my fave song :)

  • no offence but a lot of bands still create the same style and music all the time yeah their older stuff is quality but its becoz of their new stuff u get fuckin idiot bandwagon rap and dance head fans and why people that liked them b4 dont now.kings of leon fans are fucking idiots the new ones anyway

  • yeah alot of bads DO continue on their same style. I just dont think people should EXPECT it though, especially not in today's age where music is so influenced by labels such as Sony BMG where all they want is to mass sellout some artist.

    I think if a band changes their style a bit and its still good then great. I think if they change it to be in the "top 40" then fuck off, you're no longer a musician - go join the jonas brothers. My opinion though:

    I agree with your comment about the fans :)

  • yeah i agree with you bout that top40 trend shit thats just like a band turin fuckin pop or sumtin abd yeah likke look at a lot a new kings of leon fans just little scumbags that are rap heads with a tight haircut and bourbury hats fuckin idiots not sayin theye all like that just them pricks that like them for that least album the sex on fire heads fuck them all idiots

  • woo ye can kinda see me!! but really, it was kinda hard to be lively there up front with KOL, they wernt at their best, caleb seemed in a mood that night. they didnt even do an encore!! i was gutted... i expected them to be the best band at the festival. no offence intended, just saying they shudve been much better

  • i just wana know how this lucky basturd got on the side of the stage lol

  • if u dont like kings of leon well fuck off and stop listin 2 dem der wer fuckn class at oxegen some crowd tho x

  • toyally agree moody cunts complaining

  • If the fans see something wrong with a performance of their favourite band they will be the first ones t let you know about it!

  • They sent shivers down my back before they struck a cord.. Amazing!

  • And I gotta say we got stuck in the back and those bastards who were complaining about me and my friend jumping and screaming all the songs can feck off. I think thats what pissed me off too cos of the crowd, only got riled up for Sex On Fire and Use Somebody.Didn't even know The Bucket or Mollys Chambers. come on like. Would of loved to been in the pit but went to see Pet Shop Boys. But anyway ROLL ON 2010! :D

  • I had the same problem up towards the front man! Lifeless and whiney cunts! hopefully after being around me and a couple of my friends they'll realise what it's like to actually be at 'rock performance'. I'm not just gonna stand around the place for one of my favourite bands and especially for the type of music they play(especially from the first 3 albums anyway) :) So to all the soft bastards who think Kings of Leon are a soft rock band just because you like a couple of their new songs,WISE UP!

  • Ya I thought up the front might have been a bit more lively! Exactly when your going to see one of your fave bands your gonna jump up and down and sing and rock out. Thats what your there for. And even if they just liked the new album if your going to see a band you should want to be able to sing along to every song. they should have checked out their back catalogue seriously. Definitely need to wise up!

  • People were complaining about you jumping around? Wow thats fucked up,as someone said below this was a rock show! You cant just stand around..

  • Yeah they were. It's crazy. I'm seeing one of my favourite bands, the first time I get to see them in all the years I've been a fan and it's like they expect me to apologise for trying to enjoy the show. Right, your supposed to be jumping around.

  • I actually thought they were a bit of a let down personally and don't freak out at me, I've loved them from Youth and Young manhood. I can't stand the I only know Sex On Fire fans. And after watching videos of them they weren't as bad as I initially thought and the sound wasn't the best. But I'm still pissed they didn't play Revelry or do an encore. I still love this band like crazy but they weren't my favourite band of the weekend. Just giving my opinion. Free speech and all that. :)

  • haha same. before sex, i asked my friends to listen to KOL noone could be bothered...but after sex on fire...BAM.

    Im glad they played an encore in sydney, ended the night with Arizona, my fave :)

  • ARE U MESSING!!...KOL WERE FCKN AMAZING!!..like the past two times they sound exaclty the same as you would here on a cd....AMAZING!...and i do remember them talking.one stage he said he broke his string of his guitar @ T in the park....fckn class band.!!,...

  • they were class and they did talk its not theyr fault the sound was fukd up and they were still deadly...KOL all the way!!!

  • That's why I don't like the 'sex on fire' fans.. they fuck the concerts up. And after fucking it up they come here to tell everyone how they suck live. A band can't make a bunch of posers have fun if they don't have personality.

  • You'ra a sap.. Why'd you leave that comment?

  • haha u legend what a comment! well said!!:D

  • how do ye make out they were terrible? i was at this and they were very good. people saying kol didnt have any stage presence is rubbish they were never a band to jump around da stage anyway thats just not them

  • I wasn't at this,but I seen them in December :) I heard they weren't the best at this? Can anybody give me a review,somebody who knows them before OBTN preferably :P

  • this is my 3rd time seen them at oxegen and i havnt got a clue what ppl are on about...they were class!!

  • This video is great, cool how you can see the crowd. Being in the pit was amazing for kol; I think just about everyone knew every single word. These were my favourite out of the 3 days, maybe it's just cause i'm a massive fan but whatever, i thought they were incredible.

  • i love kol and the music was sweet but every1 outside the pit was just being shitty bastards i was tryin to jump about like a mad man but no1 was having it! ppl just went for use somebody and sex on fire but id just come from crystal castles which in comparisson was a 10000000 times better

  • Same here man, i said on another video about having the exact same problem!Everyone around me was a dry bastard and didn't know the songs.I think judging by the new song they played that people will get a shock with their new stuff because they're heading in another direction with their music.I had two little bitches behid me giving out because I was jumping around,told them to fuck off.They were obviously only there to hear a couple songs off the new album.

  • i agree man totally dry bastards that had no drink takin and complaining, da fools probably only knew bout 2 songs anyway

  • got right into the pit for these!! It was unreallllll x

  • Kings of leon were amazing its wasnt their best set wud of liked Trani joes head wasted time and cold desert but ar well they were BRILL

  • no atmosphere????? can ya not hear the crowd. and i was at it 2 and everybody sang along to every song. to me dats a good atmosphere

  • i was in the pit all day to see them. some of the bands in between were good also; saw doctors, elbow, bloc party inparticular but the kings were something else with the crowd singing back to them.

    great night, but the killers stole the show the next night!!!

  • excuse me now, but it was Blur who stole the show... they would piss all over KOL - there was no atmosphere and they made no effort with the crowd imo

  • they never really interact with a crowd anyway who gives a shit thats just da way they are get over it and just listen to tune after tune

  • well said...they've always been like that..just let the music do the talking..they were brilliant!!

  • AWFUL ENDING.

    they didnt meen my expectations at all.

    lucky you in VIP tho :o

  • oh god yeh we could have done without sex on fire use somebody be somebody plzzzz nxt time i go see them i hope those are crossed off the set list! i think i remember they played taper jean girl third aftr be somebody(oh dear) and it just kicked the concert into life!! they should not play anything created in 08....maybe 'i want you'

  • the reason why they played them songs is for the simple reason is that they were popular and everyone knows the words.. it's called getting a crowd going.

  • first time i ever saw them and they lacked energy!they didnt even interact with the crowd!

  • awesome.......goosebumps. ive been a fan from the very beginning an i dont begrudge anyone liking kol. the popsters can stop doing the pisspoor covers though please

  • ok where was this? motherrfucker i wish i was there!! iw ent to miami to see them and im in fucking love.. but i want the crowd to be like that!! ooomy goood

  • ive seen KOL 4 times live nd been a fan from the start of youth nd young manhood, but was so disapointed with this performance. Why would u open with notion?

    Id have loved it if they didnt play sex on fire or use somebody!!!

  • it was my first time seeing them and i was disapointed with it to. it seemed to me that they lack a bit of kick or something if you get me

  • i completely agree with you. I can only assume they chose to open with notion because it is their new single. which is smart in a way.

  • I agree! That would have been brilliant!

    Would have loved Wasted time to be played!

  • Ha ha ya that really would have been funny! I would love that to happen sometime!

  • lalalooove my boys!

  • so thats why calebs guitar was red cos he smashes up the other one at T

  • Very shit live need to work on it big time one of the worst acts i seen that weekend

  • I smell hate bro, i smell hate

  • PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF stop hating on the masters

  • best time i ever had there the best

  • i was there and they were absoloutely amazinggggg!!! this opener was something else best live band i can remember EVER seeing!!! XxXx

  • Big KOL fan but was majorly disappointed after this, they lacked stage presence and were shown up by The Killers, White Lies and Foals who all put on amazing shows..

  • Oh Killers, White Lies and Foals were who i went to see!

    They were all amazing! I think the Killers put KoL to Shame. (And i do love KOL)

    White lies were unreal and Foals took the roof off Green Spheres!

  • :( i wanted to see this and be there AAAH!

  • aw god i wish i was still there, absoloutly brilliant

  • I was in the pit for this, they played great. Oxegen was righteous.

  • best part of weekend they rocked big time, roll on next year

  • Awesome set- all it was missing was McFearless... However Eagles of Death Metal were the best sat by far!!!!

  • Fucking fact!

    Jesse rocked!

  • I also wanted King of the Rodeo and California waiting but no luck :-(

    Joes head would have been great but thats being a tad unrealistic
