Kings Of Leon - California Waiting Original

[ForeverFlattsFan]

Getting sick of the stupid Obama advertisment shit.

[reciproca1]

wicked album cover

[GatoNegroPervert]

El primer sencillo de éstos bigotones alla por el 2004 la escuché por primera vez en RadioActivo 98.5 tambien ponian a otros desconocidos (Evanescence - Bring Me To Life) ja!, Mi version favorita, la del album es más ruidosa ups! xD

[KOLlove100]

Speechless

[jcms42995]

this is why i love kings of leon :)

[lastofmykind8]

this is the version on my ipod and i hadnt heard the live version before so when i heard their live version i was like wtf? haha

[DecemberisTandKOL]

This song and Everlong were the first songs i learned to play on the bass....and ive been playin kings of leon ever sice...they have some of the most beautiful bass lines ive ever heard..Cold Desert and Arizona are my favs!!!!

[cesar1689]

ESTA ROLA ESTA POKAMADRE QUE VIEJOS TIEMPOS CUANDO HIBA EN LA SECU. QUE BUENOS RECUERDOS.

[webo1019]

little mona lisa layin by my side...

[ptrloverr]

i like the other version more, but there both good

[metalcruzer]

Both versions kick ass

[cardinalfire999]

On VH1 Storytellers Caleb jokingly said 'this is a song we kind of ruined on our album by trying to make it sound more punky', or words to that effect.

[melodivaa]

so the best version heard both this one kicks

[barnettarmy]

I wish I could have this on my ipod.

[queennatalie101]

what?? i think the other version is sooo much better!

[oscarv1983]

This is not the original.

[CircusChibuku]

@oscarv1983 yes it is

[01superduty89]

@oscarv1983 yes it is.... this was on the EP they made it heavier on the first album get ur shit straight man

[MsColdDesert]

simply the best version of this song!

[jrzykidd2003]

This is the only version I acknowledge. I know KOL care about my opinion too.

[JosephGallagher]

This is from the early Demos/Tapes, innit?

[SuperMegabar]

@JosephGallagher Nope, its from the 1st EP

[Mardiaz9]

YEAH love this version waay more : D

[TH3TON3]

wrong album cover bro.

[betometalsx]

Esta no es la version original, pero de igual forma, me gusta mucho.

[dogboybr]

@betometalsx This is the original version from the first album Youth and Young Manhood.

[jlfreak13]

@dogboybr nope, this is the holy roller novocaine version

[dogboybr]

@jlfreak13 Yep, ur right =)

[chicarcas666]

@betometalsx exelente cancion

[colburn918]

Proof that KOL didn't sell out. You can absolutely hear inklings of their newer stuff in this.

[XXheartshatterXX]

beautiful song :)

[AreYouJoking]

This is the original. Caleb's said the Youth and Young Manhood one they didn't like because he tried to make it too Punk.

[TehJhose]

i think that song is from youth and young manhood record o,.o

[TheWannabeRANGER]

@TehJhose This one, no. The other one, yes. This one is from Holy Roller Novocaine.

[iflyjonas13]

such a great song! :D

[luvstosplooge14]

@jjenkins134 This version is on the holy roller Novocaine. The harder one is on youth and young manhood. DERP!

[loopylou231]

i just raped the replay button

[TheNic3y]

Yep.....Ear Porn......Yep

[vampiresd0ntsparkle]

The original is bettttter.. and more original. Herp derp.

[mayagiladi]

i prefer this version of the song...

[cafetv]

i actually dont't like too much the other version, this one is soo good,,, it has a different feeling.... sunny california kind of waiting.. i remember coachella 2007 KOL playing...

[JoeDeceiver]

The one on the album is WAY better. This one is piece of shit. I hate it. Hate.

[luvstosplooge14]

@JoeDeceiver grammar fail. dont troll until you can speak english fluently.

[JoeDeceiver]

@luvstosplooge14 I don't think leaving a comment stating my opinion is trolling. However, I do think it is considered trolling to leave 'inflammatory' replies to people's comments. Also, to be particular with regards to grammar, words that begin a sentence are supposed to start with capital letters.

[luvstosplooge14]

@luvstosplooge14 troll

[ChrisFlipsAlot]

Pure ear porn!!

[TheS41NT5]

Best song ever!!

[hannylovesyouu]

I LOVE KOL!!!!!!!

[Tallacori]

I cannot believe they thought they were gonna improve on this. The second version is...sad. I worry for their sanity when I hear it.

[steeshlad]

oh man when you come back to this version its mind blowing. both are amazing but this one is a diamond within the ruff :)

[dmjashua]

Every KOL album rocks...KOL rocks whatever they decide to create...keep hating...KOL will still kick ass!!

[NirgendwoProductions]

What is it about choosing which version is best? It's from the same people, almost the same and still so different. It depends on your mood, taste etc. x]

Both versions are great.

[deadmansshotgun]

@NirgendwoProductions cudnt of put it better myself!!:)

[pchurk]

i think its sad that some people think that sex on fire was there first song!

[Gavelaa]

@pchurk or their best song. Were a great band for 3 albums, then became sell outs and the 4th album was total shit.

[pchurk]

@Gavelaa yeah i know! i actually heard someone on the radio say and with there debut song its sex on fire! WTF

[pearljam619]

@pchurk People like that fuck me off!! How they have a job in music is beyond me.

[luvstosplooge14]

@Gavelaa false sir.

[hambrother]

i think this version is in holy roller novocaine

[SmashBabington]

Better than the album cut!! And that version is my favourite KOL song..... so I guess this is now!!!!

[cachoaventuras]

yeah!!! some marihuana and I¨ll feel in heaven

[collywobbles1000]

the original is by far the best version, kol rock

[nicehatfool15]

awesome song!

[Aionsouleater]

good tune

[666bruxinha]

i love this song

one of the best form them

i think

[BrunoSwavaholi]

both verisons are awesome, but i think caleb's voice sounds a lot better on this.

[LalorexOsito]

@BrunoSwavaholi who is this song originally?

[BrunoSwavaholi]

@LalorexOsito KOL did this song originally... but this is a different version of the one on Aha Shake. I personally just like his voice better in this one.

[JoeDeceiver]

@BrunoSwavaholi The album version wasn't on 'Aha Shake Heartbreak', it was on 'Youth and Young Manhood'.

[luka8168]

california waiting.... with th ewrong album artowrk? or is this the b-side to a track i dont know about

have we heard the song "woo hoo" by KOL? whay aren't we all listening to that right now

[MrJackyboy87]

this is my favorite KOL song i saw dem play it live amazing!!!!

[2001drdre]

album versions better

[PurpleHazeHippie]

Both versions rock! Hell, anything KOL does rocks!

[TheVenusBlood]

KOL

[pietpaardeboer]

Yeah this really is the best version. But WHAT A GREAT SONG.

[pimpsaul]

Love the acapella singin towards the end.

Awesome song !!

[pushtheheart]

anyway to download it without buying it through itunes or amazon? it would be greatly appreciated.

[sethers1023]

i like the other version better...but i still love this song no matter what

[Kolgirl14]

This song is really one of the best they have made. Long live the KINGS!!!

[TheVenusBlood]

skump13 you r right!

[TheVenusBlood]

Amazing Song!

[xStarsKOL]

I love both versions of this song, both EP and Youth and Young Manhood :)

[jerzeyblu27]

i really like this version better than the original more stripped down. awesome version.

[elvensbane]

wow really not bad though..

[skump13]

their next album better sound like the old them

[littlecupcake92]

They said it will be more punk

[bexaphonic]

clean and faceless in that you can hear what he's actually saying? Yeah i know what you mean! ;o)

[placebo3769]

I'm not really fond of this version. I think I like the one on Youth& Young Manhood better. It's more consistent to their style. This one is just too clean and faceless.

[bexaphonic]

Yep, agree this version is better. Original still amazing of course!

[HiTMANx89]

i thought this is the remake! :-??

[vitalogy]

Sex on Fire = California Waiting

[KellieLaura2Square]

No, California Waiting > Sex On Fire. Both good songs, though.

[ryand111]

christ i remember being in like yr8-9 listening to this song still doesnt get old

[Norm1011616]

Isn't that the wrong album cover for the song?

[CABZskate]

no, I think there might be to covers for the song

[ThePapillon37]

LOVE this version, caleb isn't as afraid to sing on the EP, tries to hide his lyrics and deepen his voice on Y&YM

[EmphasisOnEvil]

originals are always the best

[howies90]

I love both versions equally because anything Kings of Leon produce is basically the greatest thing anyone can hear

[ThePapillon37]

amen to that

[lardloss]

godly!!!!!!!!!!!

[lolGabrielol]

best version

[collywobbles1000]

@lolGabrielol

its by far the best version, kol rock

[ChrisFlipsAlot]

@lolGabrielol By far

[nigthkrauler]

i love the kings of leon son mis novios jajaja

[Ana1sN1n]

@nigthkrauler jajajjaja! no seas egoista, que son 3 hermanos y un primo... me quedo con Caleb sin duda ^^ Saludos :)

[sydizlle]

i like this version WAY more.

[twistedlogic001]

it is easier listening. You can tell in this version caleb was doing a little less with his voice, was really making the words clear. Something he seemed to stay away from on Youth and Yound Manhood, he put alot of attitude on the cd version

[annakol23]

i love this song.the original is so awesome!!

[thefairloyster]

I absolutely love this version!!! I think its miles better than the other with the cow bells at the start!

[ninschemaus]

COOL !!! Nice Version!

[Cockel100]

i actually think thats a better version....i dunno why its just so easy listening

[ellieandorjason]

nice to hear this after overplaying the other one to death!!!!

[idrinkalotmorethanu]

ummm , whats with the aha shake pic?

[Flash2k2k]

wow awesome!

[makavelimax69]

other version sooo much better.

[TANSD]

What album is this version on, and what is the other version on?

[makavelimax69]

the first one is on their EP (Holy Roller novocaine) and also i THINK, dont quote me on this but, Youth a Young Manhood.

btw the song is about a girl who just wanted sex and chop out gobbys and no relationship in between.

[TANSD]

So the version in this video is on the EP?

[makavelimax69]

um yeh, this is definately the first version.

[yoxnikkki]

i like this version better.

[CRAAAAAZYGIRLY]

audio sounds crappy

[123bkbk]

love it.

[16Annalise]

I love this version x

[Kohlraky]

I like this version better.

[chineeesguy123]

i know they memorize what teir playing but hat are they playing? i wanna know that im playing the legit way not some stupid made up version

[misfitmike216]

ya i know my uncle got me goin on kings of leon 1 day and now i love them to death!!!

[chineeesguy123]

can someone tell me where to find the ACTUAL tabs that kol uses for this song. any verson is fine!!!!1!1!one!

guitar thanks

[UrbanSavageNiko]

I don't think kol uses tabs.

In a interview he says he just memorizes the positions.

[evesheehan]

Not sure which version is best :/ This has always been my fave KoL song by far! I like the rawness of this version - but it doesn't have the great tempo like the other one...

[beetlezumbie]

theres 2 versions

[Darkhelboy]

How so??

[beetlezumbie]

kingsofleonKOL has a vid in "related videos" beside this one.

the begginings and other parts including vocals sound different

[johnc310]

the guitars are less garage sounding on this version and the breakdown has more going on. Calebs vocals are tamer on this one too

[patriots12]

both versions are sweeeeeeeeeeet

[misfitmike216]

i love coldplay to fav band kings of leon 2nd favorite

[beetlebugbeth01]

holy crap.... me too. I am not even lying... dude you have got a great taste in music... wow :D

[evesheehan]

Me too! Coldplay & KoL are my life! But Coldplay always come first! :D

[midgetfellatio]

Me and all.

[UrBanPiNkPaNdA08]

this version is wayyyy better!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Everlong54]

wow, so they make , a song ,, and have 2 versions of it , and they both sound amazing

salute KOL"

[aznlimecoco]

Let us all remember the original Kings Of Leon before they get main stream. Which has happened already....

[millie9393]

AwEsOmE SoNg !!!! :)

[alankav08]

mup

[oXVivXo]

Great song :D

[missrevolution77]

kings of leon's new stuff just doesn't have quite the same feel. california waiting is outstanding in my opinion. 5/5

[kileve]

this is one of my favs of theirs.. i miss the old kings.. still lov em tho.. :)

[Dougolai]

i think his voice is sooo much better on this version

[Joshhomme1]

Not sure why but to me this version sounds more natural. The album version sounds a little too much like they're trying to make it sound raw.

Meh, great band regardless...

[hammy7272]

I first saw KOL 2002 in manchester at the academy, wow, that was the time when they were breaking into the U.K. They did trani to finish. You could tell they loved it and the atmosphere was filled with joy (might have something to do with the joints!) Amazing i wish i had a time machine

[CHUNKGUY]

you are so lucky!

now they're all mainstream and

coldplay-ish

[tarplayer71]

1) they sound nothing like coldplay

2) i love coldplay

3) this song owns.

[stolenbaby472]

they sound nothing like any other band. thats whats so awesome about them. who cares if theyre popular now.how would you expect them not to be theyre the shit. as far as im concerned the more people that hear kol the better. and a way better band than cold play no offense

[Bostonmisfit]

There's just something about them that sounds 80's. Don't get me wrong, I love the 80's! The guitar reminds me of the cure and some other band that I just can't put my fingers on. Love sex is on fire. That's my fav...so far.

[judojoe07]

i love this version, but i think that maybe they changed it to make it easier to play at concerts or something

[stillwhising91]

sounds the same.

[Sidvicious100]

Sounds like a CCR.

[sikkboy]

Best song by the best band around.

[aligcali]

2 minutes in to 2.15 sounds like the strokes, Another great band :)

[dankerplunk]

why didnt u use the right album art?

[ragnarok80]

This feels drained. I like the Youth and Young Manhood version better. I still can't believe this is the original version though, you would think a band wants to polish their sound but in this case I appreciate the raw version much more.

[HOMExSKILLET]

dont you mean, album vversion ?

[omgtomas]

fucking amazing!

[omgtomas]

edit: this version is so much better, sounds so much more pure.

[colinnico]

you should put the lyrics on this i think.

[Stellsailor]

i wonder.

if a band gonna do a song why the fuck then they change the riff after?

this is the best version.

[Everlong54]

i know......this is amazing

[epalms123]

its not the same chorus

[TouchtheDream]

Maybe study a little music theory and come back when you know what you're talking about.

r u talking to me?
