This band would kick their own asses if they could've have seen what they would eventually become. Kings of Leon have totally lost their balls. This performance is motherfucking legendary though. I really miss Kings of Leon.
yes I too stumbled on K.O.L. by accident.I was at this show.And I Do remember it very well,I thought they were British rockers actually,I was surprised years later when I found out they were from Tennessee(I'm from Alabama),Now everyone knows Kings of Leon.
MAN! I was SO SO SO drunk while watching this I had never heard of them before and since I was SO drunk I had passed out at the stage they were gonna play at when I woke up There they were man shit was good that year
yeh this is fucken awesome performance !! this song is the guitaris...t i forget his names best song hes pretty underrated player love the guitar during the chorus!!brilliant
@CrazyNess488 he siad in a interview that he only went nuts on stage because he has allways playing wrong. so he tried to cover it up. now day\s hid riffs are too complex so he has to stay concintraited
i read somewhere that dylan saw this performance and told them back stage that it was one of the best live performances of any he's seen in his lifetime... that is saying something! and i have to agree... i've watched this 50 times at least on my bonaroo DVD... the last minute or so IS rock n roll...
I am 49, and these guys are my favourite band of the last 5 years. Seen em 5 times with the 6th to come and our cheesy pub band currently play crawl, mollys, bucket, 4 kicks, novocaine, rodeo, black thumbnail, on call, and are rehearsing sex on fire. fucking truly brilliant. I would love them to hear our versions. check out our stereophonics cover on you tube. we will post a clip of a kings song soon. Followills, you are awesome!
how old is that lead guitarist, i heard he was 15 when this was done? if that so he is years ahead of his time, to add a voice to the chorus like that without distracting from it is unbelievable.
Pure unadulterated ecletic blues riffs, hillbilly vocals, and skinny jeans! I fail to see how anyone could dislike the kings. December 10th, Birmingham, England, can't wait for the spectacle that is the Kings of Leon!
If you play guitar, i don't see why you don't look at the tabs/notes? I would love to help you out, however i'm deep into collegework (exams are approaching. Just look at the tabs, and listen to the song a few times, also, press pause whenever you're learning a new part. That's how i learned most of the songs i wanted to play ( including solo's ). Hope that helped u a little bit.
KOL are definately up there with the best bands of the modern era... shame most of the kids listen to that rnb rubbish. Lookin forward to the kings live, jan 8th Melbourne
This song is difficult to sing and play, even though it sounds so simple. My mission is to learn that solo if it kills me. What a fucking awesome song.
its that groove, never heard anything like this before. pure fuking genius, they put so much into it and make it look easy. best "rock" band for decades.
these guys are completely underrated if you ask me. They are just so great sounding unfortunatly they were bron into a generation filled with bubblegum pop and and faggot as rappers Long live the kings
the best part is caleb punching that mic stand like it did somethin at the end, and then walks offstage like a god (shakes head) best band in the last 20 years
there's one thing that jumps out and grabs u by the ahem, face , when u hear or watch the Kings, and that's just pure raw music, and i fucking love that. They don't give a shit about what others think and just let it all out in the end of this tune. I still find that tune extremely weird, but i love them for playing it the way they do, they win me over every time :)
yeh! i covered spiral staircase on my guitar and posted it up here and i got an email off RCA Records saying it was removed due to copyright infringement! what balls, im not trying to say i wrote it, i just enjoy playing it... u know?
Great. One of the few bands who have, and still do put their hearts into their music, and don't choose to follow the herd. I have alot of respect and love for these extremely talented guys. I like this video especially, because of the way they express themselves towards the end...'this being one of the many reasons why i say all of the above x
"On the last night of the Dylan tour," Caleb says, "Dylan came into our dressing room and he says [here Caleb affects Dylan's husky rasp:] 'What's that last song you guys played?' And I said, 'Uh, it's called 'Trani' [a little ditty about transvestite hookers from the first album]. And Dylan goes, 'That's a hell of a song.' "I think that was pretty much the biggest thrill of my entire life."
Plain & Simple... these guys exude PASSION like no other band! They are SO amazing live and I can't wait to see them again & again & again.... ROCK ON Kings!!!
