  • If you don't want that Thunderbird you can always give it to me :D I could take better care of it xD

  • Jared possesed :)

  • Jared, what the hell?! WHY would you smash a freaking THUNDERBIRD?

    That was hot though :L

  • @Julietthefrenchgreek If I was to write a comment it'd almost be word for word with your one! What's the point?! HAHA, I love his temper tantrums!

  • @Julietthefrenchgreek He said that the sound was crap and that he "had to" deal with it every night That night he couldn't bear it anymore so he smashed the fuck out of it!

  • Doesn't he get them for free?

  • Damn, if I had only enough money to buy a Thunderbird.

    My budget is right now 20 dollars.

    But I'm 13, so don't judge.

  • I wish Jared would smash me *Badumch*

  • I could of had that bass! FUCK!

  • Shit i really wanted that beautiful thunderbird..... ive been eyeing it for ages and i was going to somehow bribe Jared so i could have it for myself..... yeah, yeah, i know i know dream on.....

  • this is possibly the only band I will say 'Sold Out'. It wasnt just that they wrote some "catchy songs that the radio liked".... Calebs voice and vocals totally changed, not as woody or gritty as they used to be, their full image changed as well. Maybe sold out is an exaggeration, but they certainly changed what KOL was to make more money and get more airplay. Not to mention they add loads of reverb to absolutely everything nowaydays. Bring back Red Morning Light and Mollys Chambers.

  • @mwellbass can you complain about going from wearing clothes 2x too small from a goddamn thrift store to spoiling yourself, there definatly greatful foreverthing they have and yeah they change there sound but they wanted to experiment with all types of music, any good muscian can rock anything, and kol does that very well, not looking for an arguement just sayin man

  • @mwellbass most bands change image, that doesnt necessarily mean theyr sell outs! n the beginning calebs words were a little more mumbled...he admitted that n an interview & stated that was mostly bcuz he didnt want his parents (particularly his mom) to know what he was singing about. as for tone, i think it sounds the same but ur entitled to ur opinion! as for image, most bands change their image when they become famous! even the greats like: the stones,zeppelin judas priest, the beatles,etc

  • yeah fuck that bass!

  • whats everyone whining about exactly , i read all the comments and somewhere people start bashing other people about being "true fans" you guys are all wierd... jus listen, enjoy and shut up. or in the case of this video; watch and shut up!

  • I heard he smashed it because as time went on, the sound on it became worse and worse. By the time it came to that concert, he knew he was getting a new one and he didn't want to retire the old one that made him so frustrated, so he decided to let off some steam aimed at it and smashed it. He talked about it during a recent German interview.

  • what an asshole! Smashing instruments its not Cool

  • nooooo! thats the nicest bass ever, why would you do that?!

  • they are so hard core, they broke their instruments!! not!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @KasiaReynaerts yeah I know. I'm one of the people that have been listening since Youth and Young Manhood, but I'm not bitching that they're getting "new" fans

  • I was watching an interview with the bass tech and he said Jared smashed his bass out of a fit of ecstasy. Like he was so excited and pumped about the show that he smashed it.... Odd thing to do when you're excited....

  • @alexisss29 do you have the link to that interview?

  • @jess1445 it wouldn't let me post the link here so i posted it on your channel commentsss

  • Comment removed

  • He could have given me that thunderbird D:

  • nooo not the thunderbird!!! i've admired that thing for years !! :(:(:(:(

  • I'm pretty sure that they would have released that cd just the way it was even if they didn't even have that many "older fans". it's not like we really have a contributing factor in how they decide to sing, play, what they write about etc. The fans didn't make them famous they did it themselves. So who gives a fuck if you knew them from the beginning, i don't care and i'm sure they don't give a rat's ass either. If you have dedication, it doesn't matter you you knew them for 5 years or 5 days.

  • FINALLY SOMEONE WHO AGREES! I cannot stand overly defensive fans who think they're all special just cuz they've been listening from the very beginning! like you said 5 years or 5 days, it doesn't matter!

  • i know thats right tell it like it is i hate when ppl come on here sayin they suck n change if you really listen to there song its sound the same i dont see the diff it all sound good to me maybe i just really like them n their music

  • @lemay77

    your crazy... i absolutely love these guys, own every album listen to em everyday... but they have totally changed their sound, wake up

  • @Brylin2010 no i dont need to cuz i to own every album and i was here from the begin n with that said yes every song on all their albums dont sound the same they might do a song for their mother or a song for those drink red necks or a song for a hipster just like every albums they have done

  • Holy shit!

  • geez if he didnt want that bass i wouldve taken it

  • kind of a waste of a Thunderbird dont you think?

  • wat exactly happen that made him do that? Just not feeling the love from the crow huh

  • Comment removed

  • ppl who were fans at the begining always feel there more important r new fans dont know anything, but does it matter? were all fans, we all beleive kings of leon is a great band, i didnt have the pleasure of knowing who they were in till "because of times" cd, was released, and ive been a major supporter ever since. there were fans before me and after me, and we all know and have all there albums now.

  • If it wasn't for the old fans you never would have got the chance to get that 3rd album. Thats why they feel that way.

  • Comment removed

  • an underlying pattern to any comment people feel the urge to enforce on others is fear, that- you may not be important, your seperate from a group of others you see yourself as part of.ppl compartmentalize each other& themselves.lashing out is a defense mechanism hence why youtube is so popular..ppl love to be right.its sad but its a pattern human nature seems to follow. i saw it in myself.isee in in others.not until you see that you realise how petty it is.maybe they will wake up one day ha

  • You know, Caleb did the same thing and the headlines were 'Are The Kings At Breaking Point?'.... Then again, he smashed his $3,000 guitar out of fury and rage.

    Diva.

  • im not sure it was quite that expensive, angelo their producer said he bought calebs gibson for 900 dollars off ebay.

  • eXactly..even playin coivers in a pub wid my band fucks me off...chavvy tarty twatty people signing like pissed up yobs...fucks me off.people are mentally conditioned into wat is kool & wat isnt &they let that guide their tastes..its fucking LAME. as corely taylor said 'DIG wat u dig man, dig wat u dig'

  • shut the fuck up corey taylor is a fucking sell out he is so pointless he thinks he is an amazing singer but he cant even sing, i admire the fact ure a kings of leon fan much like myself but c'mon thats how the music business is run, the "good" songs are presented as their best but their clearly not, my sister like the new muse song just fir the fact its in the charts yet i know if she gave the chance shed love the song starlight aswell.

  • Everyone Shut up?

  • Fuk all Sex on fire knobs, Kol are awesome best albums times were frist 2 albums, only by the night has detroyed them even tho it is a good album but i hoe they make it better in their new record

  • It's just like Nirvana! when fans were asked what they're favourite Nirvana song was everyone said smells like teen spirit! fuck!!! Kurt was getting shitty and bored of playing it over and over.

  • and it was the only song he didnt write..aint that a bitch

  • Anyone know where there is a vid of caleb smashing his guitar?

  • I heard it was becuase his bass was out of tune for the whole show, and thats why he did it. Shame though, that was a nice bass.

  • it wasnt after black thumbnail cause i just saw the ending of another vid. were its the last song of the encore and they all walk off...unless he came back out by himself, but i doubt he would do that

  • i was wondering why he quite playin his white thunderbird....he needs to play his black one with the white pickguard...the black on black isnt as cool

  • Lmfao. Tht was very sexy.

  • i was at this show right in front of him. i don't think anyone was throwing coins at him, or having a go at him, everyone was going nuts (in a good way) he kept talking to the sound tech guy through out the entire night so i'd say it would have had something to do with that, but most of the show he looked happy. threw his pick at me :)

  • what song had they just finished playing? he's too cool for school

  • According to Rolling Stone Jared smashed his bass just after Black Thumbnail.

  • Bye Bye White Bass. Welcome back the Black (he used The black firebird at the NZ shows)

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah it is basically the same. But he smashed his white one so nows hes gone back to the black one

  • not really the same. a firebirds a guitar the thunderbird is the bass. i think the black one he used to play had soemthing wrong with it so he stopped using it . thats just what i heard.

  • yeh my bad, see ima guitarist, im use to say firebird

  • me too. when i get around to buying a gibson thats the one ill get. im more of a fender guy.

  • NOOOOOOO I loved his gibson thunderbird almost as much as I love him =[

    Hope he gets a new one of the same!...

  • those bastards were thowing coins at him throughout the show.

    jared is the best bass player of his generation, they should be honored just to be in the same room with him. assholes.

  • Why the hell were people throwing things at him?!

  • I have no idea but sometimes it happens at live shows. usually it's when musicians suck live , but this is soooo not the case of jared nor anyone else in kol , I think these jerks were just being bastards.

    I'm sorry but this thing really pisses me off!!

  • they were probably throwing coins at him cause they were expecting Sex on Fire and Use Somebody back to back for 120 mins.

  • hahahaa true that man

  • fucking KOL noobs. My favourite part of the rod laver show was when someone turned around and asked me "is this a new song?" when they played wasted time!

  • LMAO!

    I hate that shit.

    See, it's fans like that that lead me to believe they sold out.

    Hopefully their new CD will redeem them.

  • what does the band have to do with the way fans/people are? it doesnt make any sense.

    if your blaming KOL (or saying they sold out) b/c of these new sex on fire, use somebody fans...then damn...i dont know what to tell you.

    oh and guess what? they started liking the band b/c of hearing a song...just like YOU..maybe a couple year difference, and maybe a different song...but the exact same thing none the less..sorry you thought you were better than them somehow...

  • Actually, i started liking them after seeing them in a bar a long time ago in southern california. like in 2004

    good try though.

    hahahaha.

  • ya by HEARING AND LIKING A SONG

    your an idiot man.

    AGAIN you think your better than everyone else somehow...u saw the band .heard a song.. liked them..?

    and you say "good try though" HAHA LOL like im wrong or something...your a fucking joke

    "Actually, i started liking..."

    Actually, your a big fucking hypocrite who did the EXACT same thing every other fan did, new or old fan.

    damn..i kinda feel sorry for you.

    but keep thinking ur better than them somehow..good luck living like that lol

  • Dude...you're missing the point.

    Doesn't matter though since you clearly are a bandwagon fan.

    So i wont try to explain it.

  • no YOUR missing the point.

    u started liking the band the same way everyone else did..THATS the point..u talk like ur so much cooler than everyone else..& i just pointed that fact out..live with it man.

    band wagon fan? what the fuck r u even talking about? i like the band, whats ur point? lol u just liked the style they were playing..i like the band as a whole. u know, respect for an artist..& not just a couple songs they wrote years ago..oh and please explain it in a mess. i would LOVE 2 hear it

  • i agree [=

  • fuck mate, ease up i'm an original fan too, dare i use the term. we like the old stuff and and have watched our favorite band grow over time, we are just having a little trouble sharing our much loved toy to the other kiddies in the play ground. we will put up with you guys using our toys and you can put us with us whinging about it.

  • "put up with you guys"....im not one of them newbies...i found out about them a few years ago. right in the middle..i like alll of their stuff.

    p.s that portugaltheaccount guy, is fucking weird..he has been sending me messages, still talking like hes cooler than everyone for liking the band first..or something, i dont know, its hard to make sense of his well...nonsense...

    cheers!

  • they didnt sell out

    they wrote some songs that the radio liked

    and so everyone thinks thats all they ever wrote

    its peoples fault, not KOLs fault

  • @JackDavis16 i think its just a lack of advertisement...no one down under had ever heard of them until sex on fire.. same case with me, only after i looked into them i cant get enough of em...thats to say all their albums...if they come back to aus they'll get much bigger crowds.

  • @JackDavis16 Caleb said in an interview himself they were "definitely sellouts" Its not Just the music. their whole look changed when that album was released.

  • @muzicsalesman Can I read/see that somewhere?

  • @Rosalieee i think it was a Rolling Stone interview. Maybe Spin. Im not just lying to just to prove a point. I like KOL. even Only By The Night grew on me. and im not saying that they exactly had a choice in the matter. but they did "sell out"

  • @muzicsalesman No no, I wasn't accusing you of anything, I was just curious. I'll try and find it, thanks!

  • @muzicsalesman I have a rs subscription & read that interview twice & dont remember seeing/reading anything like that! Ive also read & watched other interviews w/ them & again never heard them say such a thing! however, ive heard them (i think,caleb) say he didnt like how "commercial" things were becoming after "sex on fire" became a hit! he admitted that he didnt like the direction they were going but he never used the words "sell out"i dont think u should claim things like that w/o proof!

  • @muzicsalesman most bands change their image when they become well known! its actually pretty rare for a band to not change their image! presently the only bands that dont really change their image r metal bands but back n the 70s when it was new, even they change their image from flowy floral print shirts to dark leather & chains...point being most bands change once theyr recognized & become famous! kol is no different & certainly not the 1st or last to change their image!

  • @montereyhippie ok dude. firstly. take a breath. every one of your sentences in your TWO comment reply end with a ! chill. I never said they were the only band to say that. KoL's whole attitude changed. i fucking love kings of leon. i like there older music more sure. i have never been put in there position so i cant say i wouldnt do the same thing. all i am saying is it happened. and I saw that interview somewhere. im sorry i cant find the proof. oh and again. relax.

  • @muzicsalesman 1 i am relaxed! the reason y i use (!) exclamation points is purely for stylistic preference...the same way some ppl like to use caps! u cant hear/see me so y the fuck would u assume that im not relaxed? i was stating my opinion the way u stated urs! 2 the reason theres a TWO comment reply is bcuz U had TWO seperate comments on here & i happened to reply to both! i didnt even realize u were the same person until now but so what! 3if u cant provide proof then dont mention it! paix

  • @montereyhippie i would assume you were not relaxed because you are using exclamation points. so that is all i have to base my thinking off of dumbass. but this is ignorent. good day.

  • @muzicsalesman ur the dumb fuck that assumes the tone of someones comment instead of asking them...ur also the dumb fucking moron that use an "e" n the word ignorant but im the dumbass?! lol & b4 u try to reply w/ some dumbass comment about my typing...this is called shorthand! i actually know how to spell my words (unlike ur stupid ass) im just shortening them since i only get 500 characters! ur mad bcuz ur a liar & i called u out, so go fuck urself,dickhead!

    paix et ve te faire foutre! :)

  • @montereyhippie your using exclamation points dude... i believe the majority of the world would take that as a sign of excitement. Im not A. mad... this is youtube. B. a liar. and if i stumble across the article you will see it on here. however it is a waste of time. your the one gettin' all worked up callin' names. but i digress.

    PS. arnt hippies supposed to be nice?

  • @muzicsalesman actually it could b taken as a sign of anger too! u could also assume that a person using caps is excited or angry when the fact could b that a person just like caps, as i like (!)! im not getting worked about anything! I wasnt worked up n my 1st comment,when u insisted on telling me to "relax" & im not worked up now! as u said, this is utube! as for the name calling,mayb u should go back & read the comments;u started the name calling &i was nice to u until u called me a dumbass!

  • @montereyhippie haha. ok dude. your right I'm wrong. im not gonna waste anymore of this poor fella's comment space on this pointless ass argument. as i said before. good day.

  • @muzicsalesman lmfao then y the fuck r u still replying?!? I was explaining to u the exclamation points (which i dont understand y exclamation points r such a big fucking deal w/u) & the fact that i wasnt upset about anything! i then went on to correct u about ur "hippie comment" & let u know that i was nice to u until u started name calling & being an asshole! so theres really no need for u to reply! ur not gonna waste anymore comment space yet u replied to comment that needed no reply! yea ok!

  • omgosh ur so right here in mexico the only songs they knpw are sex on fire and use somebody. im was totally pissed when they were sold out and then i found out some girls from my church were going...they dont even know any of the songs of of only by the night except for those two. i asked how many cds they have and they said "1??" i wanted to slap them

  • poor guy :( hope hes feeling better xx

  • Oh no! Poor Jared...and that was a beautiful bass too. ):

  • I always think its bad form to throw stuff on stage but smashing the bass...a bit OTT me thinks!!

  • ugh poor jared, i cant believe those girls throwing coins and everything ¬___¬

  • Whoa! he never does stuff like that........
