  • I think they don't play this anymore because either mom or dad asked them not to. If you've ever lived in the same religious circles in which they were raised you can understand why they acquiesed to that request (if I'm right). You can understand, too, why the song was written.

    Such a great song. The best by far from Kings of Leon.

    IMHO

  • @achmedda3rd - The strokes

  • can anyone suggest any bands similar to kol?

  • soo..does anyone else hear the Fleet Foxes music in the background?

  • i love KOL so much but i cant help but laugh at Caleb - he looks like something out of LOTR, bless him

  • LOOOL anyone see the black sex doll @ 1:40?

  • worst.haircut.ever. hahaha

  • I love how when Matthew is done with his solo, he swings his guitar, and then that flag moves. Like he can move objects with his music.

  • fucking good!!!

  • fuck I missed this time

  • anybody ever feel like this song was based on the short story "where are you going where have you been" by Joyce Carol Oates? Just wondering if anybody got that vibe from the lyrics. Man old Kings is awesome. YAYM is a great fuckin' album.

  • High Roller Novocaine is an abbreviation for HRN which is a Human Rights Campaign for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.

    Lyrics----""""All the world is moanin'

    And baby so am I

    I'm just givin' you warning

    And I'm telling you why

    Lord's gonna get us back!!! """""

    Prepare for God he will return in September 2011 He will appear in the sky soon!

  • @HousbinPharteen1 *Holy Roller Novocaine...

    And shut up preaching your rubbish.

  • @MrTom5594 You should get a life Tom

  • @HousbinPharteen1 Oh the irony...

    You, the one who was spouting about God, is telling me, the one who just wants to listen to the music, to get a life?

    GOOD ONE

  • @MrTom5594 I'm all good

  • @HousbinPharteen1 i totally think that when they wrote this it had absolutly nothing to do with human rights campaigning and everything to do with getting off your tits on cocaine, whichever it is my absolute personal favourite!!

  • @IZZYWIZZ05 to me it sounds like a corrupt priest date raping some woman (which is a true story that it's supposedly based on) so more like off your tits on novocaine

  • 16 people should go to the doctor 'cos they must be DEAD

  • I miss their old songs, but I can do without those haircuts. Good Lord.

  • @BrotherBadSeed how can u miss a song....its still there all bands change their sound as they go on...it'd b boring playing the same stuff all the time.....and i like this look better

  • wow...

    it's not that i don't like their new songs ..

    they're awesome too but thes songs make me feel so much happier !!!

    awesomeeee!!!!

  • 16 people had a girly flashback to being in the white cadillac and rep'd accordingly

  • Great to see a fresh band that stay true to their roots type, I feel they will be another band that will stay around like the R Stones, Tom Petty and all that jazz. "If ya ain't first ya last!"

  • @WestCoastMusicMan199 i dont know. to me its that more ppl get to hear tha amazingness of kol. i didnt know them till use somebody but looove their old songs like this. so thank god they got famous or else i woukd have killed myself or something

  • @kbhp ROFLMAO - So true....KOL is just spreading the joy. The old stuff rocks and sets them apart and the new stuff let's the masses know they exist. I don't care how it happened, I'm just glad I get to listen to KOL FTW!!!!

  • Caleb is free to take me there anytime... my eyes are closed:)

  • I'm so sick of people hating on each others music preferences.... Makes me sad actually:'( At least everyone who wrote their comments on this page must like KOL!

    Me too XD

  • One of the most amazing bands on the planet, playing at the most awesome festival on the planet..... bliss

  • jared you are the best xxx

  • never saw somebody who check his guitar and micro so cool:)

  • This was one of the very first songs they ever wrote. BEAUTIFUL.

    We love you KOL. (: <3

  • caleb ,, you should never had stopped doing the Check 1,2,3 !!!

  • How I hate their commerical music.

    How I love their 'old' music.

  • Haha... Guns n' Roses? They kick their asses!!!

  • Ok, this is the song that made me start to fall in love with the band. I was clueless about them until a Rolling Stone cover over a year ago. I didn't care for "Sex on Fire" at all at the time. But the article was so good, I decided to look up their songs on Youtube. This was the first song that got me hooked into them. "Trani" from Bonnaroo 2004, made me obsessed. Best damn band in the world.

  • awesome the singer looks like nigel from spinal tap!

  • @garywingrove Exactly what I thought! Haha!

  • Surely a song to play at my funeral. Miss you good-old Kol.

  • Man I wish they played this and others like Happy Alone, Soft, Genius, Spiral Staircase, etc nowadays.

  • Ashton Kutcher! haha

  • @ChayenBros thank you!!!

  • is someone losing their virginity in this song?

  • @ohdoshutit i read its about a pastor taking advantage of his power/position.

  • @ohdoshutit no this song is about a preacher and he uses the women in his service ..thats why during the breakdown he says gods going to get ous back

  • @zdrummaboy aka their father

  • @thekillers1stfan nah i dont know if its about there father but i know its bout a pastor using people in his service

  • @zdrummaboy their father did get fired from his job as a pastor because he cheated on his wife and they got a divorce

  • I love this song sooo much. Can't wait for the new album though. They're not gone mainstream, they've just gained more popularity. It's not as if it's up to them to choose how many new fans they get. Jesus, give them a break people!

  • FUCKING kOL ROOTS!!

  • I'm at the front... buzzin!!!!!!!,Not seen this yet. U were better back in the day!!!

  • <333

  • my music is better then this. Shit my music is better then 95% of artists out today i'm going to start posting videos. my myspace is IgnitionNow

  • @ninetyninenightmares you sound like a right dick fuck you and your shite music

  • @ninetyninenightmares do you know how old this is?

  • Looks like 2004?

  • @ninetyninenightmares fuck you ya cunt. the kings are 95 times better than you'll ever be

  • 3xlive.  Great.

  • I get the feeling that they were frozen by accident in the 70s and unthawed today. Way to bring back the classic vibe, boys.

  • Love love love KOL... nice vid... Caleb is too hot for words!

  • check, tururudummm, check 1, 2, turudum check 1,2,3!!!!!

  • Great band-Bad haircuts im afraid.

  • @linusop WHO CARES!! its bout da music

  • @momodaawesome True, it just winds me up :L

  • i was going to say since the black crowes has there not been a more "rock n roll" rock n roll band

  • i love he says LORD....."LAWD GON GET US BACK".....HE PUTS THE WELL DESERVED "SEXUAL EMOTION"{VOICE} INTO HIS THIS SONG

  • is it me but dont you think that the guitar bit that caleb plays at 0:58 sounds a lot like the beginning of slow night so long ? x

  • @25MJW25 It's all in that 325...

    That guitar is the recognizable KOL sound...

  • ha caleb is such a show off luv it!

  • i have a wired feeling this song is about anal sex, "Don't look back keep your eyes ahead, this could be the night that the moon turns red" Hmm.....

  • I know they've done lots of great stuff, but this still remains my fave... from the first album. Thanks ismadav.

  • I cant tell if this song is talking about sex or drugs?Maybe both??

  • @annakol23 Not necessarily sex. The song is about a preacher who was using his power to lure women into Ungodly acts, if you know what I mean.

  • @cyberfruit oh wow i didnt know that!interesting..u learn something everyday!

  • best mic check ever.

  • Gosh I miss those times. Kings at their best. This song is perfect.

  • jonataneriksen... what about the arctic monkeys or the red hot chili peppers theres been a lot of good rock bands since gnr probably better ones!

  • @FutureSailorOhYea

    I didn't say that it hasn't been good bands the last 10-20 years, and I love the RHCP, but they aren't core rock n' roll bands, and it's that kind of bands that we haven't seen in years.. Also, I wouldn't favour a lot of rock bands over guns n' roses, and certaintly not any recent ones

  • how hot can a baby ? damn !!!!

  • They should play this song in the Vatican

  • ah there just savage they never fail to lift me up

  • @2human4u I completely agree!!

  • wtf..public?? give it to me!!

  • velvet underground in the background?

  • Comment removed

  • @trill5thefif "these days'" by nico

  • SO FUCKING AWESOME

  • you need to clean your ears then

    cheers!

  • siiiiick.

  • amazing

  • true, so true......

  • the new Rolling Stones if you ask me. the first new rock n roll band worth listening to since GN'R .

  • Couldn't have put it better myself!

  • @jonataneriksen

    RIGHT ON!!! FINALLY A CORE ROCK N ROLL SOUND NOT THE B.S. WE HEAR IN FALL OUT BOY.

  • @manis2197

    Yeah, I've been really worried 'bout the way the new "rock n' roll" bands sounds For the last years I've thought real rock was gone

    But now we finally have the opportunity be the parents that tell our kids about when we went to that classic rock bands concerts in their early days, instead of being bothered by the fact that we should've been born 30 years earlier...

    Also you should watch Henry Rollins rant/stand-up about modern rock, he hits the nail straight on its head!

  • @jonataneriksen Dude i could not agree more

  • @jonataneriksen Wow... that might be the most horribly incorrect statement I've ever heard...

  • @jonataneriksen new Creedence Clearwater Revival is you ask me.

  • @jonataneriksen except gnr are shit

  • @jonataneriksen guns and roses is the most overrated band of all time

  • @jonataneriksen: please don't compare that shit band GN'R to these guys. that was a silly band. i grew up with GN'R and hated them. i can name a hundred bands that were better than them at the time.

  • @legendofakira

    You obviously have no taste in music

  • @jonataneriksen: sure. 

  • @jonataneriksen Oh I heart the rolling stones and I also heart KOL.

    So I love the comparison you make.

  • @jonataneriksen  ha...gnr

  • @jonataneriksen when i tell people about them i also refer to them as the new stones. rock 'n roll with southern rock with blues and some garage taste to it. i love it

  • @jonataneriksen well said!!.but i can't help but say.. they r the new NIRVANA!!

  • @jonataneriksen well said!!.but i can't help but say.. they r the new NIRVANA!!coz just like the kings of leon ,,nirvana was underrated also...untill he killed himself of course...them all of a sudden everyone loved nirvana...its what i call the mj syndrome ....lol

  • @jonataneriksen ah oasis u off your tits!!!!

  • @jonataneriksen I used to think the exact same thing, after the last album... i´m quite sure that The Black Keys are the futures Rolling Stones if is possible that such thing happens !

  • @erikshogun

    Ahm... no. Just no.

  • thats it!!!

  • my darling you look lovely ( heart)

  • I love kings of leon! theyre music is is amazing! i love this song

  • Love KOL then... and LOVE them now! I could listen to them every day and they never get old to me!!!

  • @JaymerzAndJaderztv i think he's way hotter there!

  • tomorrow in mexico city!!!!

    its great!! i love you guys :D

  • If there are cowboys in the space, ¿Why not in England?, awesome!!

  • Very dirty Lyrics :)

  • Rock n Rollllllll!!!!!

  • do you know any other bands, who make music that sounds like holy roller novocaine?

  • Man, The Jonathans suck. Nobody bother checking them out, it's like watching pirates with AIDS raping toddlers. Just awful.

  • Wow, I didn't know Ron Wood played bass for them...

  • hahaha, good call. 'cept ron

    is skinnier i think...

  • FANTASTIC!!!

  • Looks cold out there I can't wait till I get to see them>

  • their new stuff is rediculously sentimental and popply, wich cheezy riffs and boring licks.

    Their old stuff has absolutely NOTHING to do with any sort of fad produced 9 years ago...whoever said that is simpily idiotic. They played blues based rock n roll, not exactly a...fad?

    Their old style was developmental, using clean blues guitar.

    Now they use clean...pop guitar.

    They havent progressed, they just changed.

    and no, im not a fan of them, im a fan of the genre'

  • That's them in a nutshell. Ignore the thumbs down you got. That's just the number of idiots that have watched this video.

  • now they use clean pop guitar?? they use more effects now than they ever have..

    at least you can be honest tho, and say your not a fan of them...just the fad that was out...

  • what music festival is this?

  • Glastonbury, 2004I think.

  • Anyone else think the bass line sounds a bit like Doors-Riders on the storm?

  • great song.. im wiv u m333tt ther old sound was great but there new sound is just as good its how they make there money changin style to bring fans in ... ive loved them since ther 1st album youth and young manhood

  • amen!

  • seems like ur a fan of a certain style of music, and not necessarily a fan of the kings..u seem more of a fan of that wave in the early 00s....dont hate on the KOL b/c they pushed thru that shit, and moved on to their own.they are keeping things new and interesting like a great band does, and if u like the KOL u would love it all..but seems ur just a fan of the old fad..u play an instrument for a few years and tell me if ur still playing the same style now as u started. it will ALWAYS change...

  • couldn't have said it better myself!

  • agreed

  • caleb looks rediculously awesome wit his hair like that he should let it grow out like that agin

  • he even says "check 1,2,3" cool>

  • they should re-release this song and make it a single! It can be hit I think :)

  • I &hearts; kol, there amazing.

  • HTML fail.

  • i love this song... sounds so menacing!

  • Sooo people from other countries actually call Americans Yanks??? And aren't the Kings of Leon yanks then too? Soo it cant be THAT bad of a thing right?

  • Why does everyone keep bitching about KOL is getting more mainstream.. I don't care. i like their music.. and in the end every band that want's to be global famous has to go a little mainstream. I don't like their new songs any less then the old once..

  • i completely agree but i dnt understand how they've changed their look so much, although the clash went threw many different lwks so meh.

  • @WiNiichan

    Cos their music really has changed a lot...almost a whole new genre, from rock to, well I dunno, stadium pop?. All good if they think it's their thing. Much preferred the older stuff myself though. U2 has done the same thing and it's just not as good as the older.

  • @wilkesfalcon oh please, the songs on the new album (not talking about OBTN) rock. Cant wait for it to come out

  • i just creamed

  • I cant back off! I'm Ricky Bobby!

  • wtf are you kids talking about? is this a KOL post or my grandpa's bridge game? like it matters anyway the worlds gonna end in a few years so ur history isn't going to mean much then hehe. jk i dont care anyway. GO KINGS! new album was a step in the pop direction (aka wrong direction). but i still love you! play a lot of old shit at lollapalooza this year!!!!!

  • US Marines are the toughest mother fuckers in the world and losing isnt an option. the US had to beat the British(revolutionary) and then racist part of the country(Civil) and then save the world twice(WW1 WW2) We earned our status of not taking shit from anyone. These fucked up people would rather hold another mans hand then see a womans face! These dirty sexually repressed people are a hazard to the would.

  • Officially speaking, the SAS are the toughest. It's harder to get in and it's harder when you're in.

    Also, no offence, the USA did help in WW1 but I wouldn't say you "saved the world".

  • No way it maybe harder to get in but no way are the Brits tougher its a smaller force there are just a lot less bad asses in that country.

  • Typical clueless yank.

  • Im not clueless just better then you at shooting people

  • ahahhahahaha you made me LOL:D

  • learn your history plz....

  • im not gonna say usa is the best cournty in the world and has always dont the right thing but what has it ever done to europe did u guys forget ww1 and ww2 we have alway been friends with u guys

  • Your right, Im British and happy that the UK and USA are allies, Britain, USA Canada and Australia fight shoulder to shoulder when the shit hits the fan, we should respect eachother.

  • kikikikikikicocayyyyynnnn

  • why is everyone always dissin the US??? We always get ripped on, but when shit goes down, we are the first ones the rest of the world turns to for assistance!! Ironic, is it not?

  • Nobody "turns to you" you arrogant fool. The US finds out there might be a war somewhere and they all holler "whoo-hoo!! Let's go kill us a mess o brown folks!!" They take it upon themselves and then brag like they rushed to someone's aid like someone's big brother. That's what they teach you, isn't it, that the world needs their big noise and they fight for right all around the world blah blah blah. Most ppl just wish you'd take your crass obnoxious culture and bloodlust and go home.

  • I know ive been lusting for some blood......ignorant asshole. Yea all americans are crass and obnoxious war loving idiots. Sounds like your the douche bag idiot if you really believe what you just said.

  • LOL you sound ("ignorant asshole," "douche bag idiot") just like the stereotype.

    Anyway I said the nation, not "all americans." Learn the difference. Because contrary to what we're taught, the nation is not the citizens. Although the "patriotic" warmongering "might-makes-right" propaganda does appear to work well on a large portion of the citizenry....

  • I personally have nothing against an entire nation, thats just promoting hatred but you're wrong when you say the rest of the world turns to the US for help... if they did then nobody would be at war with them

  • Wish they would play Holy Roller Novocaine this summer!

  • Ummm they came from America... not UK. I am positive they prefer their roots. Screw UK... just because they weren't popular at first liike Britney Spears doesn't mean they weren't well liked...

  • Ummm screw yourself

  • what is the song playing as they come on??

  • These Days by Nico (from the velvet underground)
