Really? Caleb..KOL... Of all of the bands I have listened to throughout my life, you are the best band. Seriously. There isnt a track I do not enjoy listening to. It really depends on what mood I am in. Sometimes I can sit ther and press next to a random KOL song and I enjoy it. My point is DO NOT GIVE A HOOT about what people say or what critics say. If you were a good band, down to the roots, you would forget the feedback and almost freestyle with your voices and instruments to create another album thats only you guys. Original. Thats the only way to describe your band. You guys are a part of the music industry already, big time, why not continue to prevail in the same manner as youth and young manhood. Just because you're getting big and somewhat aged, doesnt mean it's bad. Cheese gets better with age. U2 tried to do what you have done, but they dont have what you guys have. Nathan, Jared, Matthew( saw you in milwaukee up close u threw a pick at me and I missed it ) and Caleb, please dont give up. Like I said, as a fan of a long time, It would be wise to come out with an album that YOU create. This is becacause most people think you have sold out and you arent making what you guys really could produce. Sit down near the river, maybe fish and drink some as I do in wisconsin, and think of something.

All of you should shut the **** up. You can't blame them for not wanting all the douchebags to like their music. I went to their concert and I heard all the "bros" wearing there Ed Hardy and Affliction tees, saying " Man I really can't wait to hear use somebody" I mean come on, Whenever their music turns mainstream, and it's put in a different light. So where the lady in the "mom jeans" is even listening, it's not special anymore, it's just mainstream bull****. I don't want to hear all of you complaining who probably only listen to their Only by the night album, judge Kings of Leon, when you haven't even taken the time to listen to their older ****. Grow up, and stop switching radio stations for you're music scene.

What an asshole. bigger than they wanted to be? they should be thankful that people appreciate their music--not go around criticizing different people for listening to their music and making them famous! I find this interview absolutely ridiculous, and I have lost all respect for this band.

There's an old agage that says "don't bite the hand that feeds you." I wrote an article about this in music blog called Project: Abandon...Popular Bands. http://radiopotato.com/random-thoughts/project-abandon-popular-bands/

I loved Kings of Leon 2 albums ago and granted, this latest album is truly a masterpiece. Now that the world is catching on, though - I think it's kinda BS for KOL to say they didn't want that to happen. C'mon. Just accept it, adapt, and enjoy your 5-star free hotels and the world's adoration.

I'd like to hold your little hand if I could be so bold!! - Ahem back to the point, as a long term KOL lover (and Matt fan, I ain't gay though) i'd like to say that anyones opinion is welcome but only mine counts. KOL have been expanding there musical style and progressing if you will and have done so to the point where they wrote a cheesy and slightly annoying poppy type song. This reached the masses because it had the words "Your sex is on Fire" in it. Lots of people starting liking them and calling themselves fans, though upon further questioning only know two songs. Fair enough if they get into their old stuff, that's good, but if they think that liking a couple of songs from their (in my opinion least good) newest album is being a fan they can tear of their balls and swallow their own cum. Being a fan and liking songs from a band are completely different. I preferred it when they weren't as well known and didn't have a ****ty album called "Only By The Night". People are so annoying these days. Choi

Trani Rules
Matt FOR PRESIDENT!!

the man speaks the truth. the new fans aren't fans at all, just people who are riding the mainstream bandwagon.

i saw kol for the first time in lexington this tour, after waiting for the longest time. the show was fantastic, and the boys were on top form, but the crowd was pathetic. you could tell who the long time fans were. the people that thrashed to songs like four kicks and molly's chambers were the real fans. there were only a hand full of people in the first few rows that could sing ALL the words. true fans deserve to be closest to the stage, fueling the band, and that just wasn't totally the case in this instance. there were actually people in the front row who looked BORED.

but when they played sex on fire or use somebody? the whole place erupted. that angered me to no end. caleb and matthew exchanged this very weird look during those songs- it was half happy and half aghast. sure, it's great to have thousands of people know your songs, but at what price? when two songs completely overshadow a strong back catalogue, it is an issue. the public are eating them up for the wrong reasons, and personally, i think they're better off with the pre-obtn fame.

I completely agree. I am a huge KOL fan, and it just irks me when people think they can call themselves "fans" when the only two tracks they know are "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire". Don't get me wrong, I love all of KOL's songs, old and new. But people just need to get out there and hear their old stuff. It's absolutely amazing. I'm hoping they have some songs on their 2010 album that are like their work on Only By The Night, but I sure hope they have some tracks similar to the ones on their first 3 albums.

P.S. Trani is AWESOME. It took my breath away when they played it live :)

Someone put "thank God Bono, Bruce, or Paul McCartney never turned their back on us fans." Well thats because you are their age. I am 26 so I am around the bands age and when they grow older I will grow older and I doubt they will be disappointed when a fan (their age) shows up to one of their shows 15-20 years from now. I would love for them to win 4 Grammy's for USE SOMEBODY because my fan-dom for the band out weights my dislike for that track. Plus I will look at it as "Those four Grammy's are for all the amazing songs before 2008." Its beyond thunderdome that Caleb has to stand there nite in and out saying "Only By The Night is not our first album, its our fourth." Even E! News Daily Ten doesn't have a clue, and they report on celebrity stuff. I think Sal said "Ah yeah, that Sex On Fire, the new single from Kings of Leon's second album." Do your research. I hope their fifth album is like their first 2, meaning all these "fans" do not buy it. How do you call yourself a FAN when you only know TWO songs out of 53-56 tracks. Im all for you saying "Yeah, I like that song." PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER YOURSELF A FAN UNLESS YOU SEE THEM DO "TRANI" LIVE.

EXACTLY! I second this. there are too many "fans" at their shows waiting for them to play "sex on fire" or "use somebody". the true fans love their old stuff... and new...and certainly would love the "devil song" (as it has been named by the real fans)...
:) im so psyched for their next album. if it's anything like that. its gonna be amazing.

Im so bored of this guy. Interview after interview before Only By the Night came out all he and his bandmates did was complaint about how they wanted to be BIG in America. So they abandoned the hard rocking sound that made their band so good (powerful and raw) before and went with an incredibly commercial, catchy, pop sound, i.e. they sold out, and now they are complaining because they got exactly what they wanted?! Give me a break.

In response to "Casie the Bitter Mom" and your comments about not spending a dime on the Kings of Leon:
On behalf of Caleb and the band, I will say......Thankyou and Good Riddance!!!!!! The band and their real fans are tired of all the teenyboppers, fratboys and middled aged soccer moms that are claiming to be fans. If you can name three songs from their first album without having to google, then you are more then welcome at the shows. If you are only there because "Use Somebody" is sooooo catchy, then pleeeeeze spend your dimes elsewhere. Going to a KOL show used to be a really cool experience...now the show is full of souless d-bags standing with their arms folded until they hear "Sex on Fire".....no wonder the band is annoyed.

As a musician that would be grateful to be able to make a living enough to keep making music, that sounds like being spoiled. How about giving all that cash back to your unwanted fans, KOL? Perhaps that would make you feel better.

all this bores that are mocking the band should better go and pruve themselves if they are so experienced and capable and also not to Forget champions in throwing" the first rock".This guys do what they can with what they've got while they can and they succed too !Stop throwing with mud !

The fans who are fighting the good fight for Caleb and defending him are as crazy as those American Idol fans who spam articles defending their favorite no matter what. Caleb is clearly an ass, and a pathetic one at that. Most artists appreciate all of their fans, but he's way above that. If that's being true to himself, that's being true to being ****. So that's what he is. Defending him on it is laughable. Not to worry, soon enough he'll be a hasbeen because karma is like that and then he can live happy in obscurity of his own arrogance.
