Kings of Leon are actually growing on me. I had them pegged in the Killers/Strokes category for awhile but I think they're breaking out of that. They're really coming into their own and while they'll never be a kick-ass type rock and roll band, I can't think of another band out there right now who's better.

I have to say, The Kings of Leon are growing on me. They have some hits that play on a radio station I listen to in So Cal. Not bad, it must be their time. Like very fine quality mayonnaise.

You know Mayonnaise has a lot of air in it. I know I use to sell it by the 5 gal bucket. Did you ever know a mayonnaise salesman before? Well now you do and one that likes the Kings of Leon. Yep, those songs I hear on KROQ. I would write a poem about mayonnaise but Frank Zappa wrote the eternal best lines about mayonnaise. A song about a girl from Toronto named Magdalena or something like that.

old and in the way
Speaking of mayonnaise, here at home my personal favorite is Best Foods (sing-along - bring out the best foods and bring out the best). When I was in Belgium a few years ago, we had lunch at a restaurant and they served the steak with mayonnaise that they make fresh on the premises every morning. It was the finest slimy white goop that my mouth has ever had the pleasure of hosting. Delicious!
Food is just better in Europe, dammit. Coffee too.
Now I suppose that this thread will need to be split into a separate mayonnaise thread.

What are you eating and drinking while you are hijacking The Kings of Leon thread? (or smearing all over some young girl's succulent young body?)

I told you so. There is something very sensuous about mayonnaise.
By the way, the Stater Bros. store brand mayonnaise is just as fine as Best Foods. Try mayonnaise and jelly on a sandwich.

Hmmm i don't know if I could do that. Although a turkey sandwich with a small bit of mayo (very very small bit) and a lot of cranberry is not to bad. If I remember correctly, it's been a while.:D

I like Sex on Fire. The rest of the album... well, let's not go there. Let's just say I'm glad I don't pay for much music these days...

Sheeeee's back!
I must say, my mother got me into Kings. I was in her car with her one day and we were listening to the radio... Sex on Fire came on and she's telling me how much she loves the song, who it's by, etc. It grew on me within two or three days. Then she tells me she wants me to make her a mixed CD of all their stuff. So I did, and now everytime I drive with her we listen to it, and it's seriously the best new music I've heard in years. They remind me somewhat of Rose Hill Drive, only better. They got some M. Ward-ish/led zep sound. On some songs I even hear some Marley. It's great, my ears are pleased.

While we work on buk scene 2, on paintings and on other projects
we listen to an "alternative pop music" radio station called kinkfm.
The last weeks or months they play a new song of Kings of leon
3, 4 or 5 times a day.
We want to run away or put the sound off, we feel totally powerless.
mjp, help us out, PLEASE. We consider you as a wise man you know.
The music itself is not great but ok, that voice, the voice of the singer,
unbearable, UNBEARABLE!

They're so hardcore - having a moan at the Reading festival crowd and smashing their gear.

Hey, I tried. Sadly, nothing can kill KINGS OF LEON. They are like space age nuclear cockroaches or something.

Kings of Leon? For a while there I thought you were talking about Fountains of Wayne. I've got a CD by FoW somewhere that should go to the charity shop. This review from the Georgia Straight simplifies KoL for me. Sex for the suburbs. Like Bon Jovi from years back.
Heard on the radio that the brothers Gallagher have split Oasis up again. The station played a song by them that I barely recognized. "Look Back in Anger (Don't)" or something. I prefer by the brothers Trogg.

What? Killers/Strokes category like that's a bad thing? I think both the Killers and Strokes far outshine anything Kings Of Leon will ever be capable of doing... But to your point of not another band out there who's better....

Ahh yes...The Kings of Leon! I used to like them untill I had an emotionally scaring experience at this low rent, white trash, redneck tavern I used to work at.
I remember it like it were yesterday............8:00p.m.......I was standing at the front door of the tavern, reluctent to enter. Sweet Home Alabama droning on the other side, bar patrons chanting along with the tune as if they were paid back up singers. I took a deep breath and entered. "If I hear Sweet Home Alabama 1 more time i'm gonna craw into the fetal position and pray for death" I said to myself........
10:00p.m.....The locals are out! Undercover closet fag getting a hand job under the bar by 50-60 ish toothless, obese, proud mullet wearing beast. "Not again" I said to myself.......
12:30a.m.......The kings of leon; Sex on fire explodes the crowd into a frenzy of sexual tention. The smoke filled room became some sort of trailer park playground. The machine fueld by Mikes Hard Lemonaide and Bud Light. 40 ish, 6 foot ish, 250 pound ish "lady" pulls her Nascar t-shirt up to reveal the tinyist most oddly shaped tits I had ever seen. Her face and dental condition led me to think that she may be mentally challenged. She shook her Bud Light untill it was spraying from the bottle in true geiser fashion, all over herself. 60 ish 95 pound ish "lady" (who I initally thought was her sister) found too much joy in cleaning the hot mess from the scene. The whole crowd cheering and chanting them on as if we were in a hotel room filming our very first pornagraphic movie.
The worst part about the whole deal was that I still had 2 more whole hours to bear witness to this absurd obsinity.........I ate hot cheese balls to mask my horror.
So......I guess you could say that the Kings of Leon just remind me of a time that I could have gone my entire life without having.....but then....I would not have had this story to tell!

Would you like us to start a prayer group here for you? That's starting to sound like a reasonable request.
