How's KIngs of Leon?

[Bub]

My buddy was telling me about this new band called Kings of Leon. Are they any good? I heard they have a southern rock kinda sound but I listened to their one song "Sex on Fire" and I really didn't hear it. What do you guys think of *** group.

[kwami42]

First of all, they are by no means new, *** album that contains "Sex On Fire" is their 4th.

I like them, although they've really changed their sound over *** years. I think I prefer their newer stuff, I enjoyed *** new album. *** older stuff is a little more southerny, as your friend said.

[back_blows]

Meh, nothing special.

[TheDean]

They're good.

[Bub]

Meh, nothing special.

And this is coming from *** guy with *** Chad Kroeger avatar. Don't think I can trust you.

[Bub]

They're good.

Very good detailed explanation of why their good my friend. Best one I've heard so far,

>.<

You've been fo.oled.

[HeyRiles]

I hate their singer, he just sounds awful. Otherwise it would be nice music, but their singer kills it for me

Horribly, horribly overrated in my opinion

Their new song, I can't think of its name right now, but their newest single, was ranked second on *** AltNation top 18 last Sunday. I was so mad. Thankfully, Spaceman came in at #1, and I knew all was right in *** world

[Gowienczyk]

Meh, nothing special.

I agree.

Also lol @ basing someone on their avatar. How childish and stupid.

[Zeleii]

I agree.

I clearly have no knowledge of English music :rolleyes:

[Alright_Computer]

I wouldn't want anyone to base me off of my avatar right now...

My bad bro.

EDIT: They're good. I like most of their songs and they really have some unique and cool beats, but some are just quiet and slow and boring. As noted earlier their singer isn't *** best in *** world, but I like his sound and think he fits with their sound well. Songs I would recommend from them besides Sex On Fire are Use Somebody, California Waiting, Manhattan, Taper Jean Girl, and *** Bucket. All great ones, but picking up their full albums might be a little of a waste as they don't really fill *** albums well, I typically just skip to a select few.

[neckermanncj]

They are SOOOOOOOOOOO BAD!!!

STAY AWAY!!!

[Bub]

I agree.

You always have get crappy with me. No one else would've said something like that. Can't you go away and like... well die?

[Cpt. Overkill]

Overrated.

[afterstasis]

i'd suggest skipping these guys and going for the kings of convenience's "quiet is the new loud" instead. :)

[instantdeath999]

Haven't heard enough to judge, but I have to laugh at them being called overrated when their album isn't even 25% of the way to becoming platinum.

[Bub]

Got their whole discography today and so far from what I've listened to their pretty good. I like the combination of alt-rock and southern rock. Glad I looked into them.:)

[zeldazeppelin]

Meh, nothing special.

this.
I can never listen to them and I dont hate them like I dislike/hate Dream Theater

When I say overrated for new bands, I go by quantity on the airwaves. Horrible, horrible, in my lil' ol' opinion

Gahhh...HMXHenry said he digs it...I just hate, hate, hate the voice.

'nnnhhhaaaooaoaoowwwaow...thisth SZZKX isth on fyyyyyahhh'

SAVE YOURSELF WHILE YOU STILL CAN!! *crying for Bub*

I agree. The single that they play on the radio a lot gets on my nerves.

^This, I was just about to post the same thing!

[rowtheboat]

They are not new their latest album is their 4th, most fans say it's a commercial album so i've heard

[Lolicat]

Hate them, and I'm massively sick of hearing Sex is on Fire already. The only reason they're nowhere near platinum is because the only people interested in such crap music are poor bros with no cash for CDs who just d/l it instead.

[Bub]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Dude I'll always be Mr. Radiohead and Kings of Leon isn't going to change that although I do dig the band.

[SteelersFreak1]

The people who base their opinions of KoL solely on Sex On Fire and Use Somebody make me laugh. They have much better stuff.

[Coldplayer]

Damn, Bub, what have you done!!?

Why did you have to spam this forums. You have a great music taste, you had potential! :(

Too bad, now you're banned. Sorry bud.

P.S.: Kings of Leon are awesome!! Why can't you hear it neckermann?? :(

[Gowienczyk]

Lol.

[back_blows]

Was he seriously banned for spamming the HoR forums with Kings of Leon? That can't be it.

That must be it, because it's on the radio, literally, all the time, and every ****ing station.

[Bub]

I really don't listen to the radio much anymore that's probably why I'm not sick of "Sex on Fire" yet.

[Insane3]

Lol, you have great radio stations. Over here, nothing plays but Lady Gaga's poker face. So please stop complaining. Even worse, I still hear that "I kissed a girl" thing.
