  • there is no such punk song did you understand what he said? Radioactive in the beginning was meant to sound like that but they changed it.

  • Yuder 18 also mentioned my question too. But nobody gave him/her an answere - does everbody knows "the Punk song" at the beginning?????

  • What is the name of Punk-Rock song? please!!

  • "when i say they, i mean jared"

  • aah love the punk version!

  • Great band

  • I have lost hope in humanity when people listen to KoP over rolling stones, the who, led zeppelin, hendrix, satriani, queen etc.

    KoP is nothing compared to them

  • @DreadMasterXX KOL is better than all those

  • @DreadMasterXX First of all, its KoL; Second, those are all great bands; Third, why can't people listen to both?; and Finally, You need to expand your musical tastes and then you will find humanity, people who can live without being prejudiced against a group or taste. who are you to judge?

  • @MrN0worries because compared to those bands this band is lame...i listen to all kinds of music...why would I listen to a lesser band if a have the greats to listen to and enjoy

  • @DreadMasterXX Define '''greats''.

  • @RvV1992 by greats I mean the most original bands...this just sounds like the crappy lazy music of today

  • @DreadMasterXX @DreadMasterXX That's your opinion. And I love the ''original'' bands, but I love this too. And how are they crappy and lazy? KOL is amazing live, often even better than their studio versions. But by your logic, if this band would've emerged out of the 60's/70's, thus being a what you call a ''original'' band, you would think of this as one of the greats too? Your logic seems shallow.

  • I love you Kings Of Leon! :D

  • ah,...their producer wrote on of the 2 or 3 riffs. Someone takes the piss out of me! 

  • How can people dislike Kol there lyrics are genius and simply poetic at times if people can't appreciate that then I have lost some hope for humanity

  • KOL is fuckin pop

    they suck

  • @DreadMasterXX you suck

  • @DreadMasterXX Kings of Leon are not pop, they are alternative rock. Pop is processed, bubblegum shit that is written by wealthy corporations who hire up-and-coming "musicians" to sing their fabricated crap. They market to young children who have no comprehension of what ACTUAL music is. Kings of Leon, on the other hand, is responsible for the creation of all their beautiful works, and has a well-developed fan base because of it. It's fine with me if you dislike them, but don't be ignorant.

  • @TheTragedyThrills definition of pop: the result of an auto tuned retarded elephant

  • I love KOL! Wait? My testicles just drop, I'm going to go listen to some real music.

  • @ 0:08 Really!? I thought they was from Napalm Death

  • When he says 'they' he means the record company...

  • Of all the songs that people might need a video to learn to play ... they really chose this song? ...

  • @Louisvilleslugger11 I think Guitarworld probably just asked them "Show people how to play your biggest singles" So they did Radioactive, Use Somebody and Sex On Fire.

  • Comment removed

  • these poofs dont have the skills to give lessons. i think they need some lessons.

  • @muddymermaid why did you waste your time watching a vid of a band you clearly dont like then?seems your the stupid one!!!

  • its all about the music not about how many notes you can get into a song or solo?

  • 5:20 he seems like an awkward jackass

  • Hahaha "repititous"

  • i'm more of a metal guy, but i'm a huge fan of kings of leon. expand your tastes, people

  • I would like too praise guitar world for bringing in lots of different types of musicians, KOL are great song writers. The more there is the more there is too learn and enjoy!

  • KoL is great but this just isn't a guitar riff you can talk about for more than 2 minutes ^^

  • does it really matter what channel it came from? jheeze.

  • acredito que não prescisa de video aula, a musica é facil, acho que isso é só marketing ¬¬

  • kings of leon is great!

    but i dont think this is their place!

  • Yep... "It's all about the vocal, let's not kid ourselves here"

    Seriously... bugger these guys off... Guitar World indeed!

  • KOL are better than most of the shite they have on here

  • I play a lot of metal, hard rock, etc but I do prefer a variety in genres of music for the video lessons. Great for expanding your guitar vocabulary.

  • Altho this isn't metal....I would much rather have this than some goofy suicide silence shit....at least this is real music....the other shit is just fucking noise.

  • These guys have a great southern vibe. Great music. Simplicity in its best.

  • Not trying to be a dick but you don't really need to make a "lesson" video to learn how to play this.

    PS what's with the pig looking fag making his hair? rofl ..

  • why dont u all shut the hell up and stop bitching. Just accept it as any other video...

  • cause of matt i use epiphone guitars.

  • dammit is this for real? i mean the only persons who are bitching around are these fans of kol. and they are like: uh you metalheads... shut up! your music is pointles.

    and the other side is like: uh this video is so fucking poinless.

    guess what? this argumentation is pointless

  • So I like how they finally have a good band instead of Escape the Fate or some other shred only band. Kudos on the good choice. Finally some creativity.

  • @Farweight how is ETF shred?

  • @metalmike04 I mean, any shred band, ETF's vid just sucked in my opinion, so I just kinda picked on them.

  • @Farweight i guess i see what you mean, but ETF are not shred by any means, they dont have half the talent of shred artists

  • @metalmike04 I can fully agree with that opinion. However, I am glad to see a sort of diversifying on GW's channel.

  • @Farweight i know what you mean, im not a huge KoL fan but i can appreciate that they are putting more than just all metal type videos

  • skip to 8:25.. watch what matt says... look at caleb's face :P

  • ... i want those guitars for xmas

  • Thumbs up if u don't want to see part 2!

  • What's the point of the teaching how to play dumb riffs? 8:29 minutes of blabbering and just a minute of riff that goes over and oner and over again? Quite a waste of bites, lol

  • lol Caleb cracks up when Matt says tinkle at the end. It made me laugh too.

  • Caleb kinda reminds me of Obi Wan from star wars

  • where is part 2 :P

  • lol @ people who listen to just one style of music.

    also lol @ people who childishly discuss who's the better musician on the internets.

  • Okay I don't really like KoL's music, but I respect the people who DO like their music. So just stop hating and if you don't I suggest you put down your guitar cause you forgot the point of making music: having fun and not discussing what musicstyle is the 'best' -.-

  • i remember back in 2004 when i first heard the coolest rock sound of KOL...Molly's Chambers \m/

    Now....they are waaayyy too mainstream. My mother in law likes their music.....

  • listen to red morning light

  • caleb really needs to lay off the drugs look at him :(

  • @dmohr7 the band doesnt do drugs?!!

  • @Jordo1900 caleb does , hes appeared on several radio stations and admitted that he does drugs because according to him it helps him make good music, well looking back on led zellpin and black sabbath i cant really disagree really hahaha

  • @dmohr7 ha yea I suppose

  • I am a metal fan don't get me wrong, but I LOVE KOL as a matter of fact they were the first band that I saw live and they rocked the house so all you hater can go suck on yourself. I love KOL and I bet a lot of other people do.

  • Calebs face when Matthew says "tinkle" at the end! They are some funny guys

  • ok guys i love metal, but you guys who are bashing KOL need to understand that there is more to music than just metal.

  • I sure most people are going to think im a dick , but, there really isnt much muscisianship in this. The metalheads dont like this for wrong reason, becasue is not heavy. a lot of music is good but this isnt anything special. its sound like something a kid who has played a couple months comes up with.

  • Talking shit about entire genres of music is fucking stupid on both sides of the argument, regardless of if this is your cup of tea or not. I can enjoy my Sleep and Sabbath and all of that good stuff, and I can enjoy this as well, anybody who tends to put down another group because of a difference in technical skill is silly and still stuck in the 1980's shredder mentality, or the Singer-Songwriter "strum chords, bed girls" mentality, typically. It doesn't have to be about skill all the time.

  • So many arrogant faggots, buying into the whole 'I dont like that because Im supposed to like this -- it matches my pants'. Grow up.

  • see kids, you don`t need a whole lotta talent to make it in the rock world. just a whole lotta bullshit and P.R.

  • What a joke ...

  • reminds me of that one time, was jamming on stage with a drummer an another guitarist (an me, guitarist). then a bass player showed off and i was like: try that: bom bom bobombobom :D

  • it's a songwriting lesson, the guitar parts are boring, but hey- it works for them.

  • Guitar world is mainly metal. Cause you metal heads are apparently bitches and can't handle the rare non metal video. KOL isn't metal. The song parts aren't difficult. We get it. Calm down.

  • @Keshalalala No but what they are. Is Shit

  • @Keshalalala No it's not the fact it's not metal or not difficult, it's the fact they act like "Fuck it we're Kings Of Leon, fuck you we'll do whatever we want in this "lesson". No hate on the guys it's just this video is pointless really.

  • @Dimebag08RIP Watch the Escape the Fate vid, THAT'S pointless.

  • haha this isnt vocal world here!

  • omg this song is to easy on guitar

  • i hate haters

  • I like this video, fuck you haters. This is all about music you douches

  • Damn, this is very difficult to play!

    Fuck this, I'm going to play the more easy things from now on!

    Far beyond the sun and so...

  • We're here to show you how to play guitar. Nope. Don't think you are, maybe he meant to say We're here to show you how not to play guitar!

  • @SamMerrell1 Watching this is making me unlearn the guitar.

  • @SomethingWild9608 Quick get some Gilbert or MAB on to help, just by looking at paul you get better!

  • we're here to show you how to play guitar? Nope, thats what REAL GUITARIST do!

  • i could piss more music than theyre playing...guitar world u dissapoint me sometimes

  • what am I watching

  • I'm not really into KOL but I found this quite interesting, just because its not shredding guitar solos or anything technical doesn't mean its boring?

    You can tell most people who disliked this video obviously don't widen there musical taste.

  • @FenderStratocaster06

    It's boring because it takes them 4 minutes to teach you 2 notes.

  • @FenderStratocaster06 WTF are you talking about? U dont have to listen to boring untalented bullshit to broden your musical taste...if you liked this you have no musical taste or knowledge whatsoever

  • @TheStratman707 Fuck you, boring bastard

  • I'm not like die-hard fan of KOL but I still think KOL is better than all the ppl who disliked this vid cuz they think KOL is gay and boring

  • HA! my dislike made it 100/100

  • @spYder13911391 awesome

  • @spYder13911391 HA! my like made it 106/105

  • the only reason why i whatched this video is readin nice comments about how kings of leon suck cocks. and this lesson eat pussy cause only thing you have to do is open ultimate guitar if you want to save time and want to learn this "song" in five minutes but if you have time can get it in 10 minutes by ear :D

  • I watch videos on Guitar World to get some entertainment or education. Kings of Leon are just presenting their shitty commercial music. And people who just say "Ah they're just doing the gay ass sweep arpeggios" are just noobs who think that everybody who does A-Minor pentatonics has a certain feeling in his guitar playing. That's bullshit! Everybody does boring pentatonic scales over and over again for fucking DECADES! It's always amazing to see how modern players developed lead playing!

  • Comment removed

  • @CorpsesUnderIce i appreciate you are german so english isnt your 1st language but you didnt understand what i was saying

  • it would help if they knew how to play guitar before they teach anyone else :/

  • sorry but these arent any worse than triviumesque bands who just play gay ass sweep arpeggios over and over

  • @MattHXIV No but, this isn`t about guitar skill, it`s about the music that a band makes with minimum of guitar chords.

  • that was soo embarrassing...how cud u do this 2 yourself...hope the money iz worth it

  • I like the right guy's ES's finish. What is it called? Worn brown like the SGs?

  • @MonkeyZo0 Nah, I think it was a standard see-through, natural finish like the Epiphone to the left. I just think it's because it's so roadworn

  • @n1ll3r the finish is called walnut, and it looked like that when it was new too :)

  • i would be embarrassed to be in this video and actually try to "show" people how to play

    this. 

  • Best part; Caleb crackin up at 8:28 over the word "Tinkle!" Who says rockstars need to grow up...

  • @ChrisTheGuitarTutor

    those are popstars

  • @Riotstarter100 I stand corrected - Popstars!

  • well the vid is not gay and boring, but its not that interesting that guitarworld has to upload it twice - cheat!!!

  • People here are pissed off because they spent so much time learning scales and sweep arpeggios when you can actualy create a really cool song with only one barre chord.

  • @CavatinaTV Exactly. Actually we should be happy that there's pop music with real instruments again.

  • @CavatinaTV exactly

  • why bay und goring? ...this sound awesome and I really enjoyed them teaching the song...not everything has to be so fast you can't hear any single notes or rhytms anymore...

  • I like how they're talking 8 minutes about a slide on the e string.

  • Comment removed

  • the best riff in the world

  • Let's play the "Hold the Like/Dislike bar even" game!

  • facepalm

  • So basically Matt & Caleb, you went into the studio where this Jerry character has told you what to play and how to play it... no wonder the music you've churned out over the past four years has been rubbish. Its a commercial process exactly like this that leaves artist creativity utterly redundant, and also in this case, zero guitar skills. Excellent observation by MultilatedMetalMatt (see comment below); this is hardly a lesson on how to play the song because there's nothing to teach.

  • @theillmc I think it's safe to say that pop music (= KoL) isn't the most technical genre in the world. I'm surprised to see a pop band do a lesson on GW, normally it's rock/metal. I reckon a lot of people watch this kind of thing as an interview, to see/hear their favorite band talk about music.

    That being said, I'm not a fan of KoL at all and this video definitely hasn't changed that.

  • TInKLe in the back ground.

  • This isn't vocal world though ..... haha hilarious 5:26

  • cmon i love guthire govan but i can still apreciate these guys

  • It's official that most of Guitar World subscribers know nothing about music. Kings of Leon is simple, yet effective. I dig them and this video was for me, as well as their other fans. Don't ruin it for us.

  • @summitthescale This doesn't qualify as a "Lesson", you dipshit. There is really no reason for these hipsters to be in GuitarWorld. Put them on REVOLVER or Rolling fuckin' Stone for all I care, but don't slap them on GW and pretend like they actually qualify as guitarists. HOLY FUCKING SHIT YOU KNOW HOW TO DO A BARRE-CHORD YOU'RE THE FUCKING MAN, DAWG! CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE NEXT DOZEN LESSONS WHERE YOU SHOW US HOW TO GO "WEEDLY-DEEDLY-DEEEEEEEE"!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

    Fuck you.

  • I love how they say "hey were here to show you how to play guitar".....

    I think i should show these fags how to play guitar......... FUCK KINGS OF LEON; Guitarworld, you have really slid down the ladder in recent years. What the fuck are these hipster douchebags doing in a guitarworld feature?

    fuck you guitar world, you used to be awesome, but now you're just fucking gay. Way to sell out to a bunch of fags like Kings of Leon who don't even know how to play the fucking guitar.

    Ditch this shit.

  • @SpeedyGreen Wow, you are really, really stupid.

  • @summitthescale IQ of 135 you dipshit; I make more bank than you and could play circles around these fucking tools. Don't get pissy and say GW subscribers know nothing about music because we don't want to listen to your shitty untalented band; Get the fuck out of here kid.

  • @SpeedyGreen And when did this come to making fun of my music? I just make music for fun bro! What's wrong with that? I'm not even in the process of joining a band, I'm a graphic designer :] I would love to trash you in an argument right now, but obviously you make way more bank than me and have a higher IQ, I guess I have no chance!

  • @summitthescale  Wow you know more about music and guitar? go fuck yourself buddy, I listened to your shitty song on your page. Don't talk tough shit about how much you know when you only know how to tune to drop-D and chug away on the first 5 frets, then through an disorganized lick in the middle of it, multi-track the same thing about four times and then brag about how well-versed you are in music.... Can't believe a fucking dipshit like you listens to the likes of The Faceless. poser faggot.

  • @SpeedyGreen C'mon now don't put words in my mouth, i never said i knew more about anything than you. I called you stupid because you are whining about Kings of Leon being the downfall of Guitar World. Seriously dude, just get over it. It's music, you should respect all kinds whether you like it or not. PS that's drop A ;)

  • from 7:47 to 8:10 i found this useful,

  • Okay if you don't like this particular song or band simply don't watch the video. It's that simple.

  • Geez, people, music can be simple and still be good. In fact, simple music is sometimes better than complex. @spearminsixstring is right 100%.

  • Yes the song is boring to teach but Kings of Leon are great and vocal driven just like they said.

  • guitar world got hacked again?

  • Should had stayed punk... still boring.

  • Shouldn't they learn to play before giving lessons?

  • @trivium1299 Dude, learn to write, you have some issues.

  • Caleb kinda reminds me of a gay brent hinds

  • I'm reading all this hate and then realizing that most of the people who hate on guitarworld and the rest of youtube are usually 12 year old metal addicts who are so closed minded and arrogant towards other genres of music. They need to realize that there is more to music than sweep arpeggios and distortion. I'm not a fan of KOL but I can appreciate their music and their art. I think other people need to understand that too.

  • @SpearmintSixString

    just because i hate on fags like kol doesnt mean i dont appreciate REAL art ant talent. and many styles of music. i just dont like it when people like these two bums get money and fame blown up their ass and people like idk theodore ziras, craig dandrea, antoine dufour, don ross, are mostly unknown to public.

    the dude with the epiphone cant even hold his guitar right -.-

  • @SpearmintSixString well put brother, couldnt agree more

  • @SpearmintSixString Yeah even if i really dislike the type of music, i still aprreciate the guitar playing! Thats all that matters to me

  • @SpearmintSixString im 20 years old, definetively NOT metal addicted and I study guitar since i was 13.And i tell you, they totally suck.

  • @FCValle Then don't watch the video...

  • @SpearmintSixString i think you need to understand music theory more deeply .... kings of leon are swimming in the shallow end of the pool.

  • @SpearmintSixString also not a fan, But I can appreciate them, I don't take a lot of my time to appreciate bands like this because in the end I never have found too much to appreciate, also if you think metal is just sweep arpeggios and distortion, let me tell you're as close minded as those 12 year old metal addicts, I seriously doubt you have a clue of what metal is.

  • @ThrashMetalSonata My friend, I am also a metal head ;) but shhh don't tell anyone haha. Nah but my favourite band is Slipknot and my band is a metal band. Much like you I haven't found much appreciation in this kind of music, it's definitely not for me but I can appreciate their music for what it is. I just wish people would stop saying something is crap just because its main stream, almost like they are just trying to prove a point.

  • I love how people start to cry when a video about playing guitar isn't about shredding...

  • awful

  • this band suckssssssssssssssssss donkey balls

  • KoL are the shit.

  • Wait, wait! SoNG? As in, one chord plus one mediocre variation song?

  • one chord song. What crap.

  • Why is there so many haters arround this video? These are artists talking about their writting process and how they arrange songs. Who cares if the guitar part is simple or boring or gay or whatever, that's not the point here.

  • @CavatinaTV I care about the guitar part because this channel is named "Guitar World".

  • @code933k Alright fine, you don't care about song writting, it's ok, go watch some betcha can't play this. Why hating? Maybe some people will find interest in this video.

  • They do not know how to teach guitar at all, have no clue about music and this is making me fall asleap. Kings of leon SUCK!

  • WHAT IS THIS GAY A
