Title: Kings of Leon Post by: janaage on Monday, April 16, 2007, 15:44:22 Did anyone go and see this lot at the Oasis on Saturday night. I did, they were pretty good musically, but lack a hell of a lot of personality.
"Hi we're Kings of Leon, ....thank you Swindon.... thank you for appreciating music..." Nothing to make it feel unique. Just one date on a long tour. Shame really as like I say their music deserves better. Love their new song "on call" Title: Kings of Leon Post by: blinkpip on Monday, April 16, 2007, 15:47:23 Nah, I went to watch Swindon. But I did see Kings Of Leon at the oasis last year, or was it the year before? They said the same thing back then also. I pefer their old stuff better 8)
Title: Kings of Leon Post by: mattboyslim on Monday, April 16, 2007, 15:51:53 I saw that tour 2 years ago too, 'Thankyou this is the best gig we've ever played in Swindon' as much charisma as a hole-punch!
Title: Kings of Leon Post by: McLovin on Monday, April 16, 2007, 15:54:14 They're a bit good though, regardless of their lack ofc enthusiasm!
Title: Kings of Leon Post by: janaage on Monday, April 16, 2007, 15:54:51 I went two years ago too, I wasn't going to bother on Saturday but my mate had a spare ticket.
They didn't play red morning light again either. Bastards. Title: Kings of Leon Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, April 16, 2007, 17:29:12 I thought they were damn ace last time. They're not exactly your sort of band to put on a 'show' and it is Swindon ffs - what did you expect?
:D Title: Kings of Leon Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Monday, April 16, 2007, 19:33:01 didn't go but went to the last one. great band and i love the new stuff!

They're not exactly your sort of band to put on a 'show' and it is Swindon ffs - what did you expect? :D A little interaction with the crowd that had paid £25 to see them, that's all. Title: Kings of Leon Post by: spacey on Monday, April 16, 2007, 21:31:05 Kings of Leon: Woooo! Hello Swindon!
Janaage: Yeah! Woo! Kings of Leon: It's great to be here! Janaage: Yeah! Woo! They like it here, maybe they'll move here and be my best friend. Kings of Leon: You're a great crowd! Janaage: Yeah! Woo! They think that I'm great...I think they're my new best friends Kings of Leon: Thanks for spending 25 of your English pounds Janaage: My pleasure Rest of crowd: Fuckin' get on with it! Title: Kings of Leon Post by: janaage on Monday, April 16, 2007, 21:39:37 Funnily enough, the first 4 lines of your Kings of Leon script is exactly what they said, which made it fucking shit.
BUt like i said their music was top notch, which is what counts I s'pose. Title: Kings of Leon Post by: larwood on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 07:28:35 They were still advertising tickets at the Oasis for the gig....on Sunday,brilliant :?
Noticed Mcfly are playing there Friday,could be carnage :) Title: Kings of Leon Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 08:49:12 Most band "interaction" these days is to complain about George Bush or cruelty to animals etc - which is all well and good but not when people have paid money to watch a gig.
I saw KoL at Plymouth Pavillions in 2005: they didn't interact (except a brief "it's good to be in Plymouth of the 4th of July" sentence) but musically they were superb - especially in the horrible venue that is the Plymouth Pavillions. Title: Kings of Leon Post by: mattboyslim on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 09:01:52 Exactly RP - the best gig I ever saw was orbital and they hardly said a word all night - but it was an awesome night, then I've been to other gigs when the band have been really interactive and it is really nice but tbh only if they actually mean it, Kings of Leon seem like the kind of band who are on soem endless European tour primarily to satisfy their record label and any interaction would probably really false.
Title: Kings of Leon Post by: Bushey Boy on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 09:07:51 OK shit music but scissor sisters were good at interaction, spoke loads
Title: Kings of Leon Post by: janaage on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 09:44:45 Foo fighters were the best "interactors" I've seen, but then again Grohl is a top class entertainer. Music was shit hot too.
Title: Kings of Leon Post by: McLovin on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 10:07:02 Springsteen is the one who puts on teh best show musically and with crowd interaction in my eyes. The bloke's a god.
Title: Kings of Leon Post by: janaage on Tuesday, April 17, 2007, 11:31:05 Didn't Springsteen inject himself with HIV , live on Stage in Utah, before singing a beautiful rendition of "Philadelphia" once? Now that's entertainment.
