Kings of Leon Concert gets canceled

[prayforpeace1234]

they should take care of their massive bird infestation before booking bands..WHAT THE FUCK if i had birds shitting around my face and mouth i"d quit to..fuck that. hope everyone got a refund though

[scurvydog321]

The late n great bob marley got shot during a concert and still finished the gig........ what a pussy move for kol

[ForgettingLastFall]

Is this jiffy lube

[thecomfortisnow]

bands can't just cancel.c'mon it's not like you are working on the sun.

[FrayBentos72]

Kings of Leon were a great band at first but now it seems like they're attitude has gone the same way as they're music, a bit crap! I mean fair enough having birds shit on you at work isn't great but when you've got all that money and rodies find a solution, and play. New bands would die to play to a crowd that big.

[rapsjaysfanforeve]

@FrayBentos72 There music is shit? You think that becasue you probably know only Sex on Fire and Use Somebody... Come Around Sundown for example, is amazing!?

[FrayBentos72]

@rapsjaysfanforeve Umm if you read my comment I said they 'were' a great band. Sex on fire is precisely the kind of shit Kings i'm talking about. Ive been a fan since their first album, I went to their first UK concert but as their recent implosion suggests, they have gone a little up their own arses!

[limbdarkening]

What a fucking douche. Seriously? It's birdshit. It's not like he got shot. Finish the fucking concert.

[BeerisAwesome2]

meh, no biggee its only Kings of Leon.

[lilibabii66]

echt gutes video hab sehnsucht und kuschelbedarf wer möchte mit mir schreiben der meldet sich einfach ja

[mrmach333]

Hilarious. Guess St. louis needs to be cleanned up everywhere! I would have left too. thats shitty...haha

[AlwaysAbiggerFish]

Damn, a lot of people sound as if they gave a leg and arm to see this show!

[eaglek74]

And frat boys everywhere wept...

[diggingupdinosaurs]

I would be pissed too, but they are still really good. I'm sure there are more reasons that they left, maybe because the crowd was fucking dead

I wanna see them get shit on but none of the videos have it

[cibobary8766]

everyone is complaining and saying the venue should be held responsible for providing a toxic environment, but it they shot the birds you pussy liberal would complain about killing innocent animals. what are they supposed to do, ask the birds to leave nicely?

[samtastic333]

@cibobary8766 no, they can shoot the birds.

[cibobary8766]

@samtastic333 I know they should shoot the birds but then you have the animal activists defending the rats with wings and throwing blood on the Kings because they think the band could have stopped them or something. It's a lose-lose situation, unless they don't quit, then it's just a loss for the guy who has to wash the towels they use to clean bird shit of themselves.

[screwyootube1]

I can't believe all of the people upset that they didn't get their money's worth out of the band, while birds are raining shit all over them! It's not water, you know... These are filthy, disease-ridden, disgusting pigeons (the bird's equivalent of a rat!) shitting on them! They are holding instruments, not umbrellas, you morons! You people are completely self-centered, and what's wrong with society today! Think of someone else for a change!

[cibobary8766]

@screwyootube1 you complain about society thinking about themselves too much, who was the band thinking about when they walked off stage because of poop. wash your mouth out thoroughly and get the fuck back out there a play a show for your fans. its quite simple.

[screwyootube1]

@steverooni99 They are the biggest band in Europe, and now they are taking over in America (where they are slow to respond to rock, because they are to busy playing mindless hip hop). Kings of Leon will be even bigger in 2 years!

[kylthos]

I guess this just goes to show.. that even birds don't like Kings of Leon

[deFATpanda]

Not only did the Pigeon poop once, The pigeons kept pooping on them, So they couldn't deal with it anymore. Not only was it disgusting it was a Toxic Hazard.

[knightsraiders27]

google news tells me it was pooping pidgeons

[DeathNoteFreak000]

Why was it canceled? there must be a reason.

[augustrunsred]

@DeathNoteFreak000 Pigeons were pooping in his mouth.

[xy1p33y0x]

I would eat birdshit just to have that many fans! Its hard to believe a band with that many fans would just take a shit on their fans and not care.

Kings Of Leon shit all over their fans by canceling.

(i dont like their music, but thats not the point)

these guys are douches

[screwyootube1]

@xy1p33y0x How stupid are you? You SHOULD eat bird-shit for making such am ignorant comment!

[Littledesi23]

This was in STL right?

[MyPasswordIsUserName]

this was the site of the famous guns n roses riot in 1991, would have been interesting if they did the same thing

[Darkstar792790]

The first mistake was going to a Kings of Leon concert...

[Simstein77]

this is what happens when bands go Mainstream, they forget the purpose of having fans.

[Punkhuskie6]

These people need to relax on here.

Kings of Leon are divas but they made a statement on here and the bands before them played and were covered in crap. They went out to play but it was even worse and they just couldnt do it. They said they are offering a full refund. People need to relax.

[KrispyTV]

This better not happen when I go to Eminem & Jay-Z Concert in September in Detroit,MI! The people will Riot!

[metalmonkey666]

@KrispyTV I hope it does because you have shit taste in music.

[KrispyTV]

@metalmonkey666 Well you dont know me so don't judge. I like Rap & Rock. Disturbed and Avenged Sevenfold are my fav Bands!

[screwyootube1]

@KrispyTV Which ones are supposed to be rock?

[STILLNAKEDBULLWINKLE]

oh, you big sissies, just look up, open your mouth, and say, ahhhhhhhhhhhh. and swallow like a porn star. what is so hard about that? get it? har har

[Roccia24]

you know all of them just wanted to hear sex on fire and use somebody. im a real kol fan and i went to there concert in Az, this chick was dancing to sex on fire but when they played trani she just sat down. hell noone knew knocked up! there old stuff is soooooo much better

[screwyootube1]

@Roccia24 When I saw them at The Hollywood Bowl, people were singing along to more than half the 20-song set! Don't blame fans - blame lousy promotion in this country by record companies! Before the most recent album, KoL couldn't even get arrested in this country! America is FINALLY starting to catch on!

[friggingbomb88]

interesting reason to cancel

[screwyootube1]

@friggingbomb88 and a damn good one!

[wagamagaman]

aty the beginning press ur left arrow key three times then u can play the game snake it mite not work but just kkep on trying

[metalmonkey666]

@wagamagaman

Lol it works! Why the hell can I playu the snake game on a youtube video?! Can you please tell me?

[wagamagaman]

@metalmonkey666 dont hav a clue soz

[gbuggman]

Couldn't they just put up some umbrellas up over the performers?

[screwyootube1]

@gbuggman A little hard to do that, and wouldn't do much anyway. The slightest bit of wind, and the flying excrement is flying around anyway. It's a bad venue, they need to build something over the top of it.

[alifico]

The pigeons are astute critics. K.O.L are the most overrated band this decade IMO. Total pants, nothing of note to say at all. Much like most modern music of today though.

theindustryexposed/forum

[screwyootube1]

@alifico They are the biggest band in Europe. The only reason they were not bigger in America sooner, is that America is slow to react to new music that isn't hip hop. They will get bigger. YOUR opinion is in the minority.

[alifico]

@screwyootube1 Yeah I'm sure your right. tbh I would rather be in the minority, popularity is no sign of quality especially nowadays when the industry is so dominant. 4 companies make 80% + of all the music sold in the west and 99% of whats in the charts. Expand your horizons, meditate. goodbye.

theindustryexposed/forum

[lfc185times]

people shouting refund ? 3/4 of them dont deserve it as all they want is sex on fire

[Broguyman]

@lfc185times I agree that the "sex on fire" fans are annoying but are you really trying to tell me that they don't deserve a refund if Kings of Leon didn't play? They paid to see Kings of Leon and Kings of Leon didn't play ergo they deserve a refund.

[herbert3g]

At least they tried.

[magxolisykes]

"fans" are pretty inconsiderate.i'm guessing you all would rather want bird poo in your mouths. not their problem your area has too many fucking pooing pigeons everywhere. sorry but i would get off stage too if birds were pooing on me, especially if it was getting in my mouth. You people think kings of leon are pussies? i think you are for whining about it...hold on a sec.. ill go get some bird shit to dump on you. i don't even listen to these guys,but this is so stupid. u don't deserve refunds

[angeleyesstl]

@magxolisykes

Refunds were well deserved. The problem that most of us had was that it was the hottest day of the year (heat advisory) and we had NO IDEA why the band left until mush later that night. My best friend drove all the way from Virginia to see the show with me, so some of us had a right to be upset, but I do agree that SOME people took it too hard. At least nobody rioted.

[magxolisykes]

@angeleyesstl yeah true.,most of those people probably should get a refund. i just feel bad for kings of leon. their a decent band and they don't deserve to be hated for something stupid that happened. people on here still talk shit even though they know what actually happened.

[Onadragonfly]

What're they chanting at 0:23?

[pendergrassrock]

@Onadragonfly Refund.

[Welshy17]

What a little bitch.. 

[THEiDC]

that freakin SUCKS...

[sveinarne0]

In 1994 a band called Green Day playd at woodstock. The whole consert turned in to a mudfight and the band was so covered in mud that when some fans jumped onstage a securityguard mistook the bassist Mike Dirnt for a fan, and tried to throw him off the stage, braking several of his teeth. the festival were later refered to as mudstock.

¨

Slightly worse than getting some birdpoo on you cheek, Jared Followill?

[screwyootube1]

@sveinarne0 What's that got to do with anything? And you're seriously considering comparing playing in mud to getting bird excrement all over you, to the point of it almost getting in your mouth? Do you have any idea of the filth there is, in pigeon excrement? Maybe the next time you see bird shit on someone's car, you should scrape it off, and put it in your mouth!

[SpectreY]

i work backstage at Verizon and the band had already planned on cancelling before they went out because it was too hot and they had too much to drink. one dude in the one of the opening bands had poop on his sleeve and laughed it off. Kings of Leon are the ones taking a s**t. right on their fans. VERY classy!

[screwyootube1]

@SpectreY You're so full of shit. Anyone can say "I work there", but only a moron would believe your story.

[samtastic333]

I don't understand why everyone is so upset with Kings of Leon. You really expect them to stand there and get shat on because they somehow owe it to their fans? No, this problem is with the venue, not the band.

[Waterboy3]

i love the rolling stones article because the writter said that the drummer came out to explain what happened. Yea, to who had written that article no one from the band came out onto stage to give us an explanation. That just shows what kind of people KOL are. Go to the store where you got ur tickets and they start giving back refunds today. I just hope they know how many fans they lost in St. Louis

[screwyootube1]

@Waterboy3 Stupid ones that couldn't give a shit the band they came to see are getting bombarded with pigeon shit, because they ("fans") only give a damn about themselves.

[dddon2007]

i want to see video of poop falling on these guys! i was unsympathetic towards KOL when i first heard the story, but now i think the venue management is partially to blame if this was a known problem. but frankly, i am still unsympathetic towards the band for wimping out.

[tjatawol]

they're lucky this wasn't detroit

[roomrumblers]

Everyone knows that the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater is a shithole, but this outta prove it.

[cathalc08]

go backstage, clean up, come back on and finish the set, or leave after 3 songs???

[screwyootube1]

@cathalc08 And get shit on again? Moron!

[rickycheng1994]

fuck you

[CandayaxeS2]

agreed. what a shitty band

[ScreamingInTheCalle]

That's what they all get for liking such a shitty band.

[kywt939]

refund

[nicolesamsonite]

reefer reefer reefer!! i mean.. refund!

[awagamgnalaw]

that really sucks. those guys owe their audience big time.

[screwyootube1]

@awagamgnalaw They owe them a refund (and they're giving it to them). The venue owes the people for providing a toxic environment to perform at, and basically lying about it's safety.

[martinihoudini]

Wimps of Leon.

[geraldbean1]

hahahaaaahahahahahahaha that is hilarious! I'd be pissed if I was one of the concert people but I'd be pissed if I was kings of leon too. Who likes being sh*t on even once? And in the mouth lmaoooooo

[glitterbug0844]

i had pit tickets and was 3 rows from the stage (under the exact same awning thing they were claiming these loose boweled pigeons were packed in) cough cough bullshit! this is the lamest excuse i have ever heard! if you are stupid enough to buy it, you should still be pissed that they didnt have the balls to say a word. ps-the stills bass player got dripped on which appeared to be water from my perspective. that was the one and only time that anything came down from the awning/cover.

[screwyootube1]

@glitterbug0844 You can tell what was dropped on the bassist better than he can, huh? Anyone with half a brain wouldn't buy your story!

[AmbientAura37]

wash your mouth out 5 min intermission tops, but don't cancel the show. i tried denying it, but maybe they did sell out.

[92Disturbed]

the birds are the only one at that venue with a good taste in music

[cibobary8766]

Kings of pussy men who claim to be in a rock band but are afraid of bird shit, suck it up and play the show. fucking pussies

[screwyootube1]

@cibobary8766 Eat shit yourself!

[deathnod]

But at the time I took the video, many people already had left!

[Shaytard100]

@deathnod Did you got your money back ?

[patternshirt]

Dunno if it was just people leaving, but looks like the gig was far from a sellout too, because KOL have been mentioned as one the underperforming acts this summer.

And yes lamest reason for a cancellation... ever.

[screwyootube1]

@patternshirt Sold out at Hollywood Bowl...

And an excellent reason for a cancellation. Here's an idea... why don't fans refuse to go to this disgusting venue until something is built to block flying birdshit? Perhaps because fans in that city are too lazy, and only think of themselves.

[Phillycursed]

Next Kings of Leon album will be titled "2 Kings of Leon 1 Cup"

[snspusher]

they were getting bird shit in their mouths and shit. i wouldnt wanna play either

[njdevilsfan]

@snspusher

oh give me a fucking break there supposed to be rock stars man the fuck up and move on

[ItsBrezno]

@njdevilsfan EXACTLY! its just the bass player too. it may not sound as good but its not like loosing the singer or drummer or guitar

[samtastic333]

@ItsBrezno haha you obviously know nothing about music. bass is just as important.

[ItsBrezno]

@samtastic333 I know music. i have an album out idiot.

[samtastic333]

@ItsBrezno How many copies you sell, bitch?

[ItsBrezno]

@samtastic333 5,000 within the first week and being an USIGNED artists...thats a success

[samtastic333]

@ItsBrezno ... no it's not. 5,000 is nothing.

[screwyootube1]

@samtastic333 Someone should tell him it means, "Don't quit your dayjob, loser"!

[screwyootube1]

@njdevilsfan Eat shit!

[cibobary8766]

@screwyootube1 you sure have a lot of time on your hands,responding to every single comment on this video about some pussies who screwed their fans out of a show because of an act of nature. the kings are a great band but this was pussy shit,boooo

[mattdcampbell]

kings of bird shit.

[tonyflo04]

I read fome some twitter feed that it had to do with pigeons droping a deuce on the band

[NuggetPumpkin]

WWHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO CCCCAAAAAARRRRRRREEEEEESSSS

[DreamsDesire]

Kings of Leon going DIVA!

Wtf bands played in worse sets than this and they did it all for the fans

So disrespectful!

Alot of fans went miles and paid so much money just to hear 3 songs

I hope people got their refund

[98LoveU]

i hate kings of leon!!!! 75 dollars and three songs.

[SeenOnTvStore]

Yeah, thats me screaming FUCK YOU at about 35 seconds into the video. I was pissed, still am, they lost my respect. 

[thegaber]

awesome. douche karma.

[stanleyfrankmusial]

What a bummer. I'm curious as to what the real reason for the cancellation is. It's a shame that this happened... at their show at Pop's several years back, I put back a few beers with them at the bar after the show... very laid back, friendly, easy-going guys. If the cancellation rumors floating around are true, it really sucks that they've turned into prima donnas.

Love Wilco and Built to Spill, too!

[Blueshockey2005]

First of that's what you get for listening to Kings of Leon ...2nd it's a bunch of bullshit to leave the stage if you get shit on, grow a set of balls, wipe it off and continue to play

[jimborad1]

@Blueshockey2005 i have to agree with blues here. that is what you get for listening to Kings of Leon. check out a Wilco concert, they don't disappoint. i'm surprised the KOL members didn't welcome the shit as free on the spot hair product. Because everyone knows to be a rock star you need to use gel and dress edgy. Wow they suck. Tweedy will be playing Loufest in forest park at the end of august. Check him out and Built to Spill, listen to real music.

[RileyL29]

refund! refund!

[thinyourface]

This is bull shit.....
