Love matthews style of drumming. Once he nails a pattern, he drums it like a fuckin robot, his movements are so swift and kind of tense in a way. But thats what makes it cool
wow i love how they actually sound aittle bit like they do on they're album cuz most people sound completeley different and it really pisses me off!!! kings of leon r AWESOME
I know it's live, I didn't say it wasn't. I said it's 'not really live' in as much as what they are singing into the mics is being produced on a computer before it hits the sound system. And I've been called a prick by someone named ismokeznojokes. How ironic.
Yeah i have to agree... he has a great voice no doubt it and a big fan of the band...but there are heavy effects on vocals... though not as evident in this song as others... and hey thats their choice and their sound... love the drumming ofcourse
Totally agree. I went to see them and it was a stomping gig, I was just dissapointed that there was so much on stage production going on. I understand why they do it for records, and radio play etc (compress it so the whole spectrum is loud, although to be fair, the radio stations do a lot of that themselves. Tune to radio 4, then to radio 1, and see the volume difference between the two. That's cos R1 is waaaay compressed.) But... it spoiled it live. I would have loved to have heard it without
Oh my gosh, I never knew that before. I knew it sounded too much like the CD, and when most people preform live there's a difference in pitch or something. I dunno, but you can usually tell.
KOL must be the easiest band to produce ever....just press record and watch them play. Infact, a lot of the time they sound better live than on the cd.
Really...this is not pop.. dammit.. just enjoy it.. they are really good.. even if they look more shiny or whatever... they still doing good music.. even if dont fits it in your heavy music taste..
I will say this as I have said about quite a few bands [Namely RHCP]
I've followed kings ever since they first started.
And I love each of their albums because as they grew up, I did too.
So when they were writing songs like Trani while living quite a debauched lifestyle, especially Nathan I liked them coz they appealed to the childish side of me. They're new more "adult stuff" appeals to the grown up side of me.
Shame as soon as a band grows up half they're fans dont follow suit.
seriously...good to see your with me..hate the way i come and look at the comments and all u see is " they have sold out" "new album sucks" . there all annoyed that the band they liked and nobody else did has got more fans...making them "unoriginal"
Trust me, Fundies are people too...with the same lusts and passions...thus the pent up frustration of "Sex on Fire".
I'm pretty sure the pendulum of experimentation has swung rather far to the left for Kings of Leon...but I don't think a band has to trash themselves with alcohol, drugs and sex to prove anything to anyone.
Excess has been the death of so many bands and great musicians. I am not sure why we still glorify it in the face of glaring deadly reality.
u call your self a fan, try watching then in a room that could fit just over 100 people in los angeles at the troubador.when the first cd came out the band JET open for them
Shut up. Listen to their first album. Dirty southern rock riffs, and husky singing. Talking about taboo things like cocaine, and trani's, and suicide, and of course... partying.
But whateva. If ur an old fan, and you saw them at venues that could only fit 800 people, and you still like their new shit well good on ya. But if ur like the other retards that just got into them because mtv has spoon fed you your music than piss off.
Writing songs about your "taboo" subjects, yet they've barely done any of them. They're probably the most sheltered band today. Fundemental christians dont get out much.
It seems like these guys come off the leash when they play live - very, very talented.

Well, they are awsome live, but they are different in the Cd's i can hear a lot of differences but, in my opinion, i prefer when they play live.
