Who is KINGS OF LEON?????????

[Estel_Black]

Who are they and why are they U2's starting act??????

 

[Anirban]

personally from the 1 song i heard, i thought they sucked.

 

[Sleep Over Jack]

They're american.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

I like 'em. A really lame way of categorizing them would be by refering to them as "the southern-fried version of the Strokes".

 

[Mr. BAW]

Who do we kick in the nuts for that??? how about Keane? or similar sorts?????????????? uch:

i'm really glad keane wasn't the opener.

 

[MrBrau1]

Keane suck. They should slit their wrists and get it over with.

 

[Mr. BAW]

OK...let me try another one........help out!

 

[zorya]

i've never heard of them either - i' quite curious but from what i've heard from other u2 fans...

i dunno....

 

[Sweet Tart]

i saw them open for the strokes and they are pretty good. they will prbably sound a bit odd playing in such big venues....at least that's what i thought when i saw them and the strokes weren't playing arenas half the size of the ones U2 are playing


the closest band i can think of that they have a sound VAUGLEY (and i use that term quite loosely) similar to is CCR. that sort of southern country rock sorta deal. well at least that's what their first record sounds like...i haven't heard their new stuff yet.

 

[Rono]

They're american.

I think he is talking about U2.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I think he is talking about U2.

they're irish



for the prices they're charging, i would've liked if u2 could have gotten an established act to open, not an up and commer that i may or may not like.

i'll be spending the whole opening act getting wasted anyway... who cares.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

Very nice.

 

[joyfulgirl]

You can download some videos on their site. http://www.kingsofleon.com/kolflash.html

I really don't like them. The singer's voice is irritating.

 

[Bunbury]

I think I will be pounding a couple of drinks during their set, just like last time

 

[shrmn8rpoptart]

what are some decent songs of theirs to check out so i can start getting to know them?

 

[Aardvark747]

I still really am trying to get into their stuff...but i'm finding it difficult! I'd much prefer to see Snow Patrol, and hopefully will if Bono has his way!

Red Morning Light is a fun tune. I also enjoy Joe's Head.

about as loose as a 90 yr old hooker

John Fogherty would probably commit suicide if people started to say that about this band!

There's a LOT of great southern rock...from the two songs I heard on their site, this ain't it.

 

[TheFly7]

Isn't it great that the Scissor Sisters are opening for U2?

Oh, no? Well then at least Snow Patrol...

Oh not SP either? Well I guess the Killers are pretty good...

Orrrrrr Kings of Leon. Right. That's what I was thinking, too.

show your soul

 

[starsgoblue]

They're playing here in Columbus next week...I was wondering if I should go check 'em out cause I can free tickets for that venue if I want 'em...

 

[nickypiemcg]

they are the most overrated band of all time...that's who!

 

[nickypiemcg]

I can usually understand why some people might like a band I really am not a fan of (e.g Franz Ferdinand, Keane). However sometimes a band comes along that I think are so bad that I cannnot comprehend why anyone would want to listen to them. Kings of Leon are one of these bands.

So glad to see people bumping up old threads with postive motives.


I happen to dig KOL, btw.

Velvet Snow and The Bucket are good songs. Growers I say.

 

[*BOOMCHAA!*]

I'm a fan of KOL.
My favorite is Wasted Time

Seriously though, what's the deal with that? It's like people just come to this section to find threads about bands they dislike so they can attack their fans and tell us all how much they hate them.

What a great way to use your time....

 

[martha]

So, those of you who have both of their records: If I like the second album, should I get their first one?

YES!



Exactly my point, mofo. And I just realized that I misspelled "positive". Hmm. lol
