[cite]Posted By: colthe3rd[/cite]Loved the first three albums, seen them live twice and was very disappointed on both occasions. Greatest rock band ever? Not a chance, although they might be the best that Radio 1 play
Feel exactly the same. Their first two in particular were amazing, now? Meeehhhhh
youth & young manhood was a great album and really hoped for great things from them. Turned out to be just another over-hyped yank band. To be honest, i've seen better bands on the local circuit.
They are no longer a rock band. These guys are pop, sell-outs.
I was a big fan untill they sold out.
At Reading 2009 they complained that the crowd wasn't loud enough and went on to accuse the crowd of being there for one song (sex on fire). Now thats a pretty bold statement as Reading is the most" ROCK" festival around, with the fans who know what the score is and few or no stages with dance,pop,fake rubbish. Therefore KOL Had a nerve to accuse the crowd of being there for one song!?
Then the band played Vfest the next year. The unofficial CHAV festival, Do you reckon your average V Goer would be able to tell you the lryics to Taper jean girl, or Chamer? Doubt it. So why did they play there, after the outburst at Reading? Oh yes thats it! For money!!

Each to their own I suppose, I happen to think The Quo are one of the best live bands, the uncoolest band, but superb live, seen em tons of times, however you tell people this and they p!ss themselves, the look they give you. I might as well tell them that I cross dress on a Friday night, which I happen to do as well, I just dont tell anyone!
Eh!...... Dylan, Floyd, U2, the Who, Free,Stones, Tull, Clapton/Cream, Zep, Queen,Doors, Hendrix, Lizzy,Kinks,Nirvana,Presley, Beatles,are just some of the bands that may want to claim that particular title, among many others!
I am not even sure that they are the best contemporary group at present!, but then I would say that would I not!
Good support band, on a decent day at Reading, bit like Wishbone Ash/ or last decades 'wonders' Snow patrol/Oasis/Radiohead/White Stripes....... dare I mention Coldplay.......
Definitely not, but they've made a good start. When they've produced as much wonderful material as the Who or Led Zep or the Clash or Ramones, then we can re-assess. To my mind they're a bit samey, but certainly not worthy of some of the comments (glowing and hostile).
[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]Agree with Gary, rock music is crap. Rock and roll died when Elvis joined the Army, Little Richart found God and Chuck Berry went to Jail.
OK the Band, the Faces and the Velvets kept the flame alight but thr rest is rubbish. County Soul and Reggae is all that is left.
Such wise words..... <shaking head smiley>
What are you on? You have the same depth of knowledge of popular music as you do about the game of football - Zero.
Kings of Leon are a bunch of desperate, whining pussies. Try going to a Slayer show, or Deftones, or Faith No More, or Isis, or Mastodon, or the newly-reformed Carcass or the (even more) newly-reformed Kyuss. That's real rock music - not some ponced-up Southern boogie rock pop bullshit.

Feel exactly the same. Their first two in particular were amazing, now? Meeehhhhh

QUO-O-O-O-O!
I liked the 1st album ok. But the 2nd was a co-write, which annoyed me.
The stuff they're sh*tting out now its just plain unimaginative.

Nice try.
Post ironic humour in a band that cannot play! does humour belong in music, ask Frank Zappa!

Next question.
