harper11 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 they have even slowed down most of their old good songs live as well sounds half arsed they need a good dose of reality they released a terribly bland main stream album and atttract a crowd that only know sex on fore and use somebody and the crowd should be saying a band is shit not the ther way round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymp Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 kol = terrible band, maybe people are finally realising this. why people would want to see kol over faith no more anyways - god knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart1966 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 We watched the festival on tv last night and we commented how the crowd were sh*t not just for KOL but for Kaiser Chiefs amongst others even though the Chiefs put on a great show! The Reading crowd just semed so apathetic towards the bands!! Maybe the Reading crowd need to watch how the Leeds crowd react Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardboard Box City Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 They were the bollocks for their first two albums, but I doubt many of their Sex on Fire fans have heard them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper11 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 caleb said this to the crowd at reading towards the end "We know you're sick of Kings of Leon. We're f***ing sick of Kings of Leon too. But we get up here every night and I thank God for everything I've had. "So for all those who don't give a f*** about us, I understand. But we've worked hard to be here. We're the god damn Kings of Leon, so f*** you." hes lost it, take a year off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think the wind was blowing the crowd sounds away from him cos it was plenty loud. His diva strop was pretty ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irons Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 Just seen it on the telly on Friday, but c'mon the crowd were shit. Apathetic/drunk at best. Is Reading a fun free zone? Take a leaf from T in the Park or Glastonbury, they went down well there singing the same songs. The Arctics got a better reception last night on 3 average albums.

benissright Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Shit crowd yes. But kings of leon were hardly electric. Most of the crowd literally only knew sex on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm afraid benissisright its how festival crowds have become! I find festival crowds at the minute so rude and arrogant! Was nr front for bloc party and some dick threatened to punch my lights out as he was getting squashed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benissright Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Basically what happened was, Caleb was angry that the reading festival seemed to be "sick" of kings of leon. What actually happened, is that the reading festival crowd werent aware Kings of Leon had been around for longer than a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiestaDave Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 is that the reading festival crowd werent aware Kings of Leon had been around for longer than a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymp Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I was there in the crowd and its true, only a few people including myself were singing along to the old songs. The only song most people knew was sex on fire. Seems Reading has become more and more 'trendy' for high school leavers with no music taste.
