  • my god that's embarrassing

  • This is a very "woozy" video. =p

  • Your video is a favorite on Malta

  • Hate them.

  • Thumbs up if YAHOO! News brought you here!! :))

  • Feel really sorry for the people who paid some $60 and still didn't get to see Sex on Fire.

  • @realdavidpowell A little bit of me dies each time someone claims sex on fire to be there best song.

  • Comment removed

  • @Mineav quit bein a douche you're no better that anyone else. People fuck up once in awhile it's human nature. Shit happens.

  • Awwww c'mon the crowd loved it...just listen

  • yeahh!!

    WASTED

  • I suppose I would've been pissed if I had been at that show. No, I know I would've but at the same time, mistakes do not deserve complete exile. Let the dude have time to see if he's gonna address the VERY APPARENT problem he has...and if he does, then give the man a chance. He's an addict...something I relate to personally. True, nothing gives him the right to be a dick but he's not him right now. He's sick & instead of people judging, just try some empathy. It's a sad place he's in.

  • This really pissed me off. My friends and I began a road trip from Oklahoma City to Tampa, Florida on the day that this happened. we didnt check any news on the way down and we were going to (among other things) watch KOL but they canceled the tour because of this.

    Pissed me off.

  • @larzhoban hey look on the bright side... if you look hard enough you might find it!

  • This is very reminiscent of the meltdown that Jim Morrison had in Florida that signified the beginning of the end for The Doors ... Shortly thereafter Jim was found dead in Paris ...

  • umm my name is caleb and i lov king of leon and clab is a badass motherfucker but i hav a bad feeling that he was little drunk and hot and probably those to thing collided and made caleb fuck up the whole fuckin show

  • Caleb, get your shit together, i'm embarrresed.. please.

  • "For the record, I'm not drunk". Yeah, because alcoholics will usually admit when they are drunk. Oh wait, they never, ever, ever do. Hmmm...

    Then he goes on about his marriage. What does that have to do with the show at all? He's clearly taking the career path of Rick James. Good luck with that, Caleb.

  • its sad to say imy favorite bands last full show in atlanta on the 2011 tour. i lovem to death. they are very inspireing other than sof but damn... idk what else to say

  • Everyone feels like the world owes them something.

  • Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

  • I still love KOL, dont see why loads of people hate on them so much? I mean, KOL are a proper band, they play their own instruments and at the end of the day, so what if their music has changed. If they do another album after Come Around Sundown its probably going to be back to the old rock days. For Caleb to go off, and for the rest of the band to come on and apologize on Calebs behalf, takes a lot of guts?

  • Kings of Leon have left the stage. Hopefully they won't come back.

  • It's harsh for them to be placing all the blame on Caleb. But, hot damn, nobody hates like family right?

  • I still love these guys though, including Caleb. I hope he makes it through and sending best wishes to him that he gets better......screw what everyone else thinks.

  • Ah, I feel sorry for Caleb. He's obviously wasted out of his mind, but then again he always was from time to time. It just gets worse and worse. The thing is he's human. He's making mistakes like a human does. He just has to realize that one day if he keeps making the same mistake over and over again it's going to cost him big time not to mention screw everyone else up. Just because you're up in the spotlight doesn't mean you're invincible by the shit life loves to throw on you.

  • I guess people aren't allowed to f-ck up

  • I SORTA get peoples anger at KOL. But, at the same time, everyone is getting their money back, right? Saved up money and made plans? MAKE ALTERNATE PLANS! Take a "daycation" somewhere! MAKE LEMONADE OF YOUR LEMONS, PEOPLE! This isn't the first time this has happened in rock and roll history and it probably won't be the last, KOL notwithstanding. You are witnessing a band in crisis. Let them be to sort it out. But, being butthurt cuz you can't see them in person and piling on is not helpful.

  • What a disgrace.

  • Hey, I have no goddamn idea what's going on either!! But at least you are married to the prettiest girl in the whole wide world! Thank God you have money!

  • 2:19 is a pretty clear he is between the axl rose and scott stapp readings on the embarrassingly drunk frontman meter. i feel sorry for the band

  • I absolutely love Kings of Leon, seriously I was there at the concert and personally I had a lot of hopes and illusions on how the concert would play out, but didn't. I was disappointed but then I realized just how much I love them no matter what they make great music and always have. So I think whoever goes back to see them again in Dallas is a TRUE fan, otherwise you dont know how to appreciate good music...also Jared is not that bad looking so it helps haha. But otherwise love them always! <3

  • Ill ? Amateur.

  • I feel so sorry for the band, caleb is I'll and my prayers go out to them, KOL are the most down to earth band ever and if you see the talihina sky documentary you'll understand why. people say KOL have sold out but I don't agree they're just simply trying to find a place in the music market which is different to so Many "chart" bands. I have been a fan since 2006 and have been hooked since, yes I do agree that their stuff is better but you can't say they have lost their fan base - if you're a

  • how can I find the film?

  • Anybody who says these boys write shit music I definately feel sorry for your musical preferences. Caleb is ill, he should have been in rehab about 5 years ago for alcohol and drug related problems but he ignored it and tried to fight through the problem himself. And now that it's taken it's toll and put his health in a major situation you idiots are knocking him? Get a life. Lets see you and your music go worldwide and make millions.

    'Those rainy days aren't so bad when you're the king.'

  • I saw them at Glastonbury in 2004, they were really humble and the music was great. Successes kills every great band eventually.

  • @nickfife So true

  • God that has to suck so fucking bad, hopefully everybody got their money back or at least some of it.

  • So sad! Saw them Portland '07: no pretentions...just ROCK ! We saw them again '09 and they were already into all the trappings of going commercial and the sweaty southern rock audience had been replaced by an definitive yuppy audience who shreaked every lyric: Jared said in an interview on FUSE that they hadn't sold-out & they just used to suck. Since then the music is crap and I'm embarrassed to wear my KOL Tees. Get some rehab...appreciate those who were always there and get back on track!

  • I have been in a couple bands, and I know a drunk lead singer when I see one

  • So mad i didn't get to see them this year (pout). love Kings of Leon. smh Caleb kills me.

  • Listen to a song called 'Trani', tell me a more well-written song in our generation.

    Then suck my wang.

    Kings are lyrical, instrumental genius' and they've made more money than you could ever dream of, they can't be too pussy.

  • That is just sad and pitiful.

  • @Kultbert You're a loyal fan to KOL. The fans they used to have were fewer and were more loyal when the band was indie. Now they're focusing on the mainstream, abandoning their fan base in the past by such poor decisions they've made, such as this. But you still defend them when they neglect you.

    I'm not a fan of KOL but I'm a fan of their music. Behind the band are people who are proud jerks who forgot about the fans who helped them from the start.

    They need more fans like you more than ever

  • i'll be waiting ..

  • Give that guy Caleb a fucking break. Now haters, you don't have that much fans to hate on you when you get sick, do you? So chill out and listen to what Kultbert says, cause he's right.

  • What a whiner, total douche. He just rambles, I feel sorry for the poor band member that had to come out with the bad news because of his douche brother. I liked them till I saw them live, a very dull and heartless performance

  • Comment removed

  • I hope they get him some help....this is very Amy Winhouseish....Id hate to see that happen to someone else too.

  • @wolfennyc - How is Bono's tool today? Probably very red and sore from all your massaging & U2 pecker worship.

    If I was you, I'd just forget it. Chill out and dig some 'good bands', rather than wasting your time on those pricks.

    'In the naaaaaaaame of looooove, please give us more money!!'

  • Comment removed

  • @Kultbert - just quit it with the obsessive fan theatrics and turn 17 already.

  • King of Leon sucks. No loss here.

  • WOW!!!!! That sucks...

  • Well i understood the fact that they cancelled but then they had to cancel the next concert to honor that! i have to say i am very disappointed in kings of leon

  • I can see both sides of this argument. I was gonna go to this show, but glad i didn't. I"m a big KOL fan, but to see this, is sad. Meat loaf passed out 2 times in one week, and KEPT playing. So, even though he lost his voice, at least refund the freakin tickets. Their reputation won't be the same. I hope Caleb Followill can overcome this, they are a great band

  • I dont blame Kings Of Leon for this. Whoever is their manager should have cut back on the amount of concerts they were put in to play. They've been touring for the past 2 and a half years with no proper breaks. It's bound to take a thud on caleb's fatigue.

  • @Christaphunk92 Dude, you do kknow that Muse have been on CONSTANT tour for about 11 years, and not once have Muse ever done anything like KoL. I Love KoL, I've been a fan since their 1st album. It's a shame that Caleb obviously have a issue with drinking.

  • Comment removed

  • Caleb the douche...

  • I'd say he went on a drink and drug binge by the sounds of it. What a mess.

  • But a permanent footnote nonetheless?

  • That's what Caleb get's for being a sellout douchebag piece of shit,

  • Its caleb that fucks it up, not the rest of the band.

  • Clearly you guys don't understand how sick he is. He is SICK! It's more than just exhaustion and throat issues, he's dealing with alcoholism. They are working on trying to get him into rehab now, so be patient. And Bono? Really? Is this a dick measuring contest now? Do not hold all musicians to the same standards, they all have different upbringings, tolerances, and limits. You do not know what he could have or could not have done. So give them a break, especially Caleb.

  • Should have said " I don't care if you don't care"

  • I love you KOL. and Caleb, take your time. i dnt give a flying fuck about any other rock band. its them or die to me.

  • Comment removed

  • @watersedge2710 then die.

  • @sjdrifter72 whatever.

  • Ha! FAGS!

  • The shit talking about this guy is completely ridiculous. he's sick as hell and tried to play, yea sure he got drunk to try to push through but damn. one of the booing douchebags should get on stage and do that shit every night in a different city. and if you pay for a show, thats a risk. they're real people they're not super humans. they can call into work sick too! support em dammit.

  • Oh and how old is Caleb 30?? Bono is 51 ...you should be ashamed of yourself Caleb

  • @wolfennyc and Bono and U2 has never cancelled any concerts right? a bit righteous on your part!

  • @youngchief09 As a matter of fact asshole U2 NEVER cancelled a single concert in their 35+ year existence until last summer(2010) when they were about to start the 2nd 360 tour of North America. Bono had a disc in his back fragment and it started slicing nerves in his leg ...he started losing feeling in his right leg and his left leg was about to be affected when he underwent emergency back surgery because if he didn't he would have been PARALYZED.... there is a difference you stupid shit

  • @wolfennyc a cancelled concert is a cancelled concert. Some reason more legitimate than others. Don't get personal and call me a stupid shit. You don't know me, and the video above is about the Kings of Leon not U2 or Bono! I'm glad Bono was able to finish the show. To each his own bro, don't get your bowels in an approar, its only you tube! It's the week-end, done with this...I got a life! cheers!

  • @wolfennyc U2 are SHIT!

    Eeeer . . . 'U2 have never cancelled a show UNTIL THEY CANCELLED ONE!!'

    What a fanboy crock of shit.

    Boner should drop over, and fuck off while he's at it.

    Utter utter pretend conscientious political garbage.

  • @ZapJack1 You would know all about shit,after all your mom pooped you out after the coat hanger abortion attempt failed.You don't get the point shitstain,cause you're too fucking stupid to comprehend anything...a wall would retain more knowledge than your pea brain does.Learn to read and comprehend the english language before you put foot in mouth,which I guess happens to you often.

  • I remember when this douchebag and his band opened up for U2 in North America during 2005.Caleb could learn something from Bono the ultimate professional who has never once pulled a stunt like this.

     Less than a month ago(July 20th) U2 were played The New Meadowlands Stadium in New Jersey;Bono looked like he was sick or overcome with heat exhaustion..he said he felt "faint" and almost passed out. Bono went off the stage once or twice for a minute but came right back and finished the show!

  • Fuck this is horrible viewing :(

  • The modern day Georgia Satellites. I saw KOL in 2006 for free and they were horrid. The only thing I can say positive about KOL is that they took The Whigs on tour with them for years, all around the world. I would have left after The Whigs, who are infinitely better live band.

  • Very disappointed in Caleb :(

  • Check out my channel for a video of them playing live that night in Dallas!

  • this is unnecesary.... he could finish that fucking show... people pay for it, its very disrespectfull....

  • Check out my channel for a fight that took place after KOL cancelled the show. This fight would have probably never happened if the show would have kept going.

  • KINGS OF LEON ROCK! They are the best band out there! Anyone who says otherwise probably went out and bought Britney Spear's last album and loves that dogshit. All those assholes can keep listening to their garbage autotune music and keep their shitty taste to themselves. Cya soon Kings!

  • 3:00. Cool story bro.

  • Caleb needs to quit drinking.

  • I was there. Caleb was awesome. But about 1/2 way through their gig, his voice started to deteriorate. Also the heat started to get to him. It was 96+ degrees out there in the audience. On stage it must have been 110 degrees, at least. I feel for the guy and his brothers. I hope Caleb gets well soon. Doctors ordered him to not sing for a month so his voice can get better.

  • KINGS OF LEON SUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    

  • @prb42526999 not as hard as your mom!

  • Way to be a rockstar pussy.

  • you guys hating on this band are so full of sh*t! you probably never heard of them before they became huge with "sex on fire" in 2008. you don't give a f*ck about the people behind the name kings of leon. you have no right to talk about them like that. would you have rather watched him collapse on stage? you pretend to be all cool when you have no idea what the band felt like in this situation. so please just shut the f*ck up. nobody wants to hear your hateful stupid comments.

  • @Kultbert You realize this video was talking about how terrible that was right? what can you expect but to get a bunch of hateful comments as well?

  • @rockinrafe yes i know, i was referring to the hateful comments on this video. of corse i'll be getting hatefull answers, i don't care. i just needed to say something.

  • @Kultbert Thank you for your comment! I have been a fan since the beginning and they have always been very professional on stage! I can't even imagine how hot it was and so what if he had been drinking! So was everyone else and he probably didnt realize the heat would do that to him! Things happen to people all the time and these guysare human too! They are freaking great to their fans period! They will be back and I am here now and when they return! They are our KINGS OF LEON!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Kultbert once again...A MAN WHO IS ALMOST FUCKING 70 YEARS OLD PLAYED A 3 FUCKING HOUR SHOW IN REALLY FUCKING HOT CONDITIONS....FUCK THIS PRIMADONNA PUSSY CUNT BAND, THEY CAN SUCK A DICK

  • @Kultbert If you like pussy bands so much you should jump on the Spice Girls Band Wagon. At least they have Tits!

  • @Kultbert May you answer me some questions?

    1.  When Caleb Left, Was the show finishing or just started?

    2. Is he drunk?

    Thanks!

  • @Kultbert Dude, this is completely unprofessional. That is why nobody really heard about them until 08, because they're going to come and go.

  • The Kings of Leon are a bunch of fucking candyasses.

  • Sorry, but this band sucks.They sucked before this and now they suck even worse.

  • Check out my channel for a fight that took place after KOL cancelled the show. This fight would have probably never happened if the show would have kept going.

  • what a pussy. should have been drinking whiskey & water. gets you drunk, keeps you hydrated. although, i've always known that he's a complete bitch, so this comes as no surprise. it's just unfortunate that they had to screw over a legitimately good band of horses just so this tool can be a primadonna. 

  • Comment removed

  • they are going to reschedule just for three fucking songs?!

  • quick! save this video becauser their managment are taking them out!

  • Newsflash: these 'rock stars' are not gods. They are human.

    Hope he gets well, good band.

  • Meatloaf is in his SIXTIES - and last week, he COLLAPSED on stage - and refused to cancel the rest of the show and continued playing.

    This kid has FOREVER ruined his band's reputation (which went sour after their first album anyway)

  • The greater majority of you american fans commenting talk absolute tripe. im sure you couldnt qoute a single song from their first album. caleb has gone a liitle crazy because his band mates presurised him in to going mainstream in order to break america and make money. he would have been perfectly happy to keep making albums like the first three. He cant stand playing to crowds in america, thats why he cancelled the tour.

  • If Caleb had collapsed and died, he would have been a pussy for dying. There's so many ignorant, judgmental assholes in this country. People who can't tell the severity of a situation unless someone comes up to them and beats them with a sledge hammer. Caleb's behavior may have been self induced, but what the hell, lesson learned. That's life. I guarantee they play a killer, SOLD OUT, show this September in Dallas.

  • @mssnjm22  1. they cancelled the entire US tour (NO Dallas show) 2. pretty sure caleb is the most mainstream in the band

  • No wonder take a couple of years break, for fuck sake theres no point abusing 2008, i dont think they have to worry The Kings will always be great and have a huge following, time to fuck your managment off,

    Talk about over kill!!!

  • I wish I had a multimillion dollar gig like this.....I wouldn't act like a fucking douche bag and through it down the toilet .

  • hope this god awful band falls apart

  • How many songs were they supposed to play, since they already played 11. He says 3 more, so the show couldn't have been that bad.

  • @Tim8tei they typically play around 20 songs...therefore he left the set 5 songs early then promised a 3 song encore but never came back

  • Wow everyone made a big deal about this like they walked off the stage halfway through the show, but it sounds like they just didn't play the encore, which they don't really have to anyway.

  • all you people are such judgemental pieces of .....every band goes through this. Drunk, drugged , whatever, this is rock and roll. OR would you rather they keep playing, make a fool of himself like Amy Winehouse. Without Caleb this band is gone...his voice makes the band..and if he is drunk. then its better that the concert is cancelled.

  • @youngchief09 this is rock and roll? no, it's amateur. And the guy's voice sucks. The newest album is COMPLETE crap. What ever talent they had has not matured. Let go of this crappy band dude.

  • @kilgoretrout321 KOL has made its millions way before they became famous here. They were way bigger in Europe earlier and with more support. As far as their music, to each his/her own. If their music is complete crap as you say, why are you even in this page, should not waste your time and energy here!

  • @youngchief09 Well said.

  • The sad sad demise of a relatively decent band. Oh well.

  • Haha I love how his band mates threw Caleb under the bus at the end.

  • I honestly wish people would stop talking so much shit...Yeah, i am pissed because i bought tickets and was super stoked to get to see them in VA saturday, but damn...that's why they have refunds. At least kol have been around and have actually made it...put your ass on stage for months in blazing weather traveling all around the world and see if you don't get sick...stop bashing kings of leon and have some damn respec. If you hate them so much why do you even give a fuck? Get well soon Caleb!

  • @besidethemoon Real bands like Koffin Kats and many others do it all the time. Complete tours like reading a page in a book.. Fuck your crappy K.O.L.!

  • @killfroggy26 k well, fuck you.

  • @fourtoedsloth hahaha 63 likes ??? So i'm guessing most of you people are not a fan of kings of leon ???

  • what a cock head

  • The KoL could retire right now and they'd still have a permanent place in (American) music history. You know they're that good. Anyway, rock and rollers with drug or alcohol problems ain't nothing new folks! I'd do it if I were there. Good luck Caleb.

  • You are fucking nuts. A permanent place in American music history? They're a footnote.

  • @nastyhedgehog A footnote there still all in there late 20's dumb dumb. They have great potential to really make an impact on the american music scene if they stick with it.

  • @nastyhedgehog What American rock bands around at the moment are better ??

  • @MsBubbabong - I really hope you weren't referring to the Sharts Of Leon

  • @jodysoldman I am just asking what American rock bands are around at the moment you think are better than KOL.

    Simple question.

  • @MsBubbabong The Hold Steady, Okkervil River, Yo La Tengo, Wilco, Band of Horses (the opening act for this show), Beach House, No Age, Titus Andronicua, The National, Foo Fighters, Queens Of The Stone Age, Smith Westerns, Real Estate, Spoon... shall I go on?

    Almost every other American band at that's around at the moment.

  • @andrewkoole Il give you Foo Fighters and QOTSA, I have never heard of some of the others, how many of them or other American ROCK bands (Apart from the Foo Fighters) have played a concert to 80 thousand people ? And I said ROCK bands, most of what you named are indie bands. And my original argument is to nastyhedgehog who said KOL are just a footnote.

  • @andrewkoole okkervil River sucked live, they were an absolute bore, I couldn't stand them, Saw spoon as well at 80/35 music festival and they weren't great either, just good. Yo La Tengo is a good band for sure. Also saw Band of horses in Des Moines Iowa and they were definitley spectacular, I would definitley consider the ones you named in the Rock Genre, or Alt. Rock. KOL isn't so amazing, just because they've gotten big enough to fill a stadium, that doesn't determine how great a band is

  • @buttnhole1 I don't think it was drug problems. Apparently there is internal strife within the band and exhaustion due to extensive touring. (also, lol them going down in history)

  • e took acid.

  • this is really sad. and i was gonna buy tickets for their DC date too . . . all the negativity about the band, how the music sucks, or how he's soft for not playing the whole show during the heat is really not necessary. it's not right to be happy about other people's misfortune. the band is obviously going through a hard time, and the additional shit they're getting from haters is not necessary

  • next stop vh1 one hit wonder show

  • @heyitsmejason1 As much as we dislike them...they've already had at least 2 hits...so...

  • Wow, to be a fly on the wall in their dressing room after this.

  • @realdavidpowell yeah really eh !!!

  • It is not the heat to blame. I blame the douches that would buy tickets and go to a Kings of Leon concert for giving this loser band the idea that they were big enough to ditch out on a show for being drunk.

  • What a douche. He make Kid Rock look cool and I used to think he was bad.

  • No matter what he says the retards in the crowd cheer. 'Your mom's a whore!'

    wooowooowoooowooo!

  • You'd think one of the guitarists could fill in for him.

  • He did the audience a favor. 3 less songs sounds good.  Should have been 20 less.

  • What'd he spend the entire concert saying he was hot and fucked up? This is insane.

  • WHAT are these people cheering about? The 'singer' says he wants to drink then the crowd cheers, uses the worst language then the crowd cheers.... 

  • another talentless hack bites the dust.
