Kings of Leon - My son and I met Nathan and Caleb before a concert...

Chance encounter with Kings Of Leon lead man Caleb Followill and drummer, Nathan Follwill. My son and I and our brush with greatness. I also made a prediction about the new heights the band will go in their own country, seeing as the UK embraced them before the US did, only to become the biggest band in America. The world as far as I'm concerned. Looks like I was right. Also how some have sold them short. I talk of the chance encounter my son and I had with KOL at an establishment before a concert and how we were treated very well by Nathan and Caleb, of the band. Especially Nathan because he was awesome and got my son and I free tickets because when we tried to buy them, they were sold out months before the concert. Really cool, down to earth guys...

you were right...they blew up shortly after this video

[bossyboo29]

@Rorix9 I think that's why Nathan got us back stage passes the next time they came to town. Possibly because of my prediction. I did call it though, huh! =)

ar you going to die after this

[bossyboo29]

@CORRIGEEN71 In fact, yes I am... As will you and everyone else on the face of the earth seeing as we're all born with a death sentence over our heads. But it was pretty cool though.

holy shitfuck you see hendrix ?? !!

you're a luckey man

[bossyboo29]

@Milaan222 lol. that's one way of putting it. yea, I was about 15 or 16 when he came to play at the Ventura fairgrounds, where I used to live. for what it's worth, I hope some of that luck rubs off on you. if I could just win the lottery, then I'd really consider myself lucky. But I'm not complaining... Thanks!!! =D

kings of leon are the best!!:D

Very cool story. I'm so glad to hear that you and your son got to meet half of your favorite band. It's such a great experience to meet musicians that you admire musically, but who are also straight up gentlemen (or women).

Congrats! I really dig KOL also.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience! KoL have been one of my favourite bands since I was 14. I'm now 20, and really hope I get to meet them too. They're going to be coming to Australia in two months..fingers crossed

Thank you for sharing your encounter. I enjoyed listening to you. I agree, KOL are the best around.

[Rorix9]

Also, thanks for sharing this story, and don't be so humble. You da man.

@bossyboo29 You sure did...and I am so very jealous. Since my freshman year in high school, Modest Mouse was my favorite band, hands down. When "Because of Times" came out, I was hooked. I was so impressed...but it was only one album. I then back-tracked to "Youth and Young Manhood". I was even more impressed/intruiged. By the release of the "Come Around Sundown", KOL overtook MM in my favorite band. They are a modern day Led Zeppelin. The chemistry, artistry, emotion, etc. is phenomenal
