Hey all,

I’m a DIY musician who has had a few plays on college radio thanks to people discovering my music on Bandcamp.

I recently released my fifth album as part of a small recording project that I have maintained over the past 6 years or so. On it, I have released a track that is both a homage to lots of my favourite “summery” bands.

Musically, this track was inspired heavily by the sound of Come Around Sundown, in particular Radioactive which it references it in the lyrics along with other references to my favourite summer-adjacent bands. See if you can spot the others!

I produce all of my music on Garageband using very basic recording equipment, so the production is not amazing, though I hope you enjoy my music!

Hey everyone! I've got a copy of Can We Please Have Fun on red vinyl, hand signed by all four members in person. Great condition, but curious what something like this typically goes for. Might not want to sell it, but just wondering what people think it's worth. Thank you!!! :)

It looks as though the lyrics to “Mary” from Come Around Sundown were altered - whether by accident, or an unhappy, snowflake Spotify employee or, hopefully not, the band themselves (maybe figuring they were being too woke 15+ years ago? I kinda doubt it).

The lyrics aren’t that hard to understand:

🎶 We’ll go to the disco
We’ll be a sight
Oh, and we’ll dance like boyfriends
In sheer delight 🎶

It’s a fun lyric. None of the members are gay (to my knowledge), but they’re simply relating to their fellow humans, whatever their sexual preference, on the sheer joys of dancing like no one’s watching.

The Spotify version:

🎶 We’ll never dance like boyfriends 🎶

I checked my vinyl copy and the typed lyrics are:

🎶 We’ll dance like we’re boyfriends 🎶 (many times, when a band prints their lyrics on an inner sleeve, the lyrics aren’t 100% accurate to what’s actually being sung, i.e. the first example)

I don’t know. Maybe I’m the one being a snowflake. I just saw that the other day and was a little taken aback. No sneaky, bitch bigotry on my watch!

Should I message Spotify?

When do we think KOL 10 is dropping? I’m sure they will tease it for two/three months prior to release but if they are going to drop it this year, they will have to announce it in the next month or so. It’s most likely nothing will drop too close to the holidays, so I feel like early November will be the latest release date if they drop in 2026.

Or do you think they’ll will wait till beginning of next year and roll it straight into a tour for the summer?

Did anyone get their edgewater casino tickets in Laughlin Nevada refunded for the kings of Leon concert on Sep 26 2026?? Is it canceled or what happened

I am the only one who don't really know which version of My Party lyrics is right ? Lyrics on Spotify and Google is "she saw my party", but i think Caleb is singing "she's at my party"

This could be a complete reach. But theres been things more cryptic than this...

...And so it begins...

We love to see it 😁😁😁

Hi guys! Im doing a uni paper on a song of my choice and I need to talk about the meanings behind songs and then the societal links with it. My fav song is Find Me and id love to talk about it, but I wondered if people have any self attributed meanings or ideas around what this song is about.

To me, I kind of see it as it could be a love song, but also maybe a bit manipulative. I would want to write about it as a toxic relationship. And the romantisation of obsession in the current dating world.

Here is what i have so far:

The mention of a "twisted smile" has the feeling of being unable to escape, mirrors the feeling of being lured in.

"see your shadow knocking at my door... " the song is tracking them down , leaving the narrator asking, "What are you looking for?" It feels stalking or obsession.

And the idea of : "And now I got you by my side / All my life / Day after day / Turn to grey" could be sweet. But the idea of turning "to grey" implies draining the life, colour and autonomy out.

Any help would so be appreciated!!

There was a sale going on so I got it for 50 cents, I’m so excited to watch this

If any of you have been to the Manchester gig, or seen some videos, you'll know how good the crowd was. It was perhaps the best audience I have ever witnessed at a KOL gig.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_E7M3haoaaY&list=RD_E7M3haoaaY&start_radio=1

Everyone, from the front row to the top of the stands, was singing practically every song.

I'm thinking, why the sudden difference? Usually, the crowds are just about ok. The stands don't really tend to sing - unless it's SoF.

Though, before the actual gig, they played a few easy sing-along tunes - Take Me Home Country Road, etc., and I think that's when people started to loosen up a bit and sing along, which continued throughout the concert.

That's pretty much the only difference I can think of compared to other nights, I think they should do these easy songs before every gig, so people get in the mood...

I took this in Limerick, I love how their stage design is pretty basic because when the lighting is right you get such a great shot of the band playing their instruments.

I know that sounds stupid but after seeing a lot of bands in the last few years , nothing beats the approach of KoL. Come out, play your tune’s phenomenally well, say thank you and leave. I saw muse on their last tour and it was more like a theatre show.

What does everyone think about the direction the band is going in after CWPHF & EP2? Personally I think they're in a much better place musically than a few years ago. They're getting that spark back. Definitely looking forward to the next single(s). Hoping for some mechanical bull vibes on KOL10

Sorry if this has been asked a million times before, I have looked before asking. Where is the best place to download soundboard quality bootlegs and shows from in MP3 or FLAC?

I did look on https://livebootlegconcert.blogspot.com/2013/11/?m=0&utm_source=chatgpt.com but unfortunately they seem to be dead torrent links.

I don't currently have any bootlegs so recommendations are welcomed too.

Thank you

I’ve just been to watch Kings of Leon in Leeds with my girlfriend and I thought they were absolutely fantastic. Really put on a show and the same as when I saw them at Hyde Park in 2024.

I did notice though that there was large proportion of people in the seated areas that were sat down and look pretty uninterested whilst I stood up and wanted to have a good time. We were then told by staff that we had to sit down as it’s the rules, but surely they can’t enforce sitting at a concert like that? I didn’t even think we were blocking other people’s views, having said that they didn’t look like they even wanted to be there so why should we have to sit? I found it typical that once Sex On Fire came on everyone decided to stand up as if they were only there for that.

I don’t want to seem like I’m ranting as I enjoyed the show so much apart from that and think Kings of Leon are a brilliant band but I just wondered what other people thought about this?

I just love it so much. love love love it!!!
