It's been a long time since an American band has written and played as well as this band. Great in concert. Yes, Caleb's voice is very soulful. Their story is fascinating.
Went to rehab. My best friend was all I had left in the world. This song came on the day she came to visit me. She saved my life. I needed somebody. She was there and never left. This song played a big part in changing the outcome of my life.
this album is amazing from start to finish! it was in my cd player when I brought my first born daughter home from the hospital 12 years ago!!!! anytime i hear it thats the first memory that pops in my head.
From about 2007-2012, this was the best pure rock band in the world. If you want some other great ones, check out "Sex on Fire", "Radioactive", and "Back Down South"
I knew the 3 brothers in this band when they were kids. OH MY GOD, they were hilariously rotten. Lol Their parents would tell us the funniest stories about the things they did and said. We still tell them because they were ornery little monsters! Lol I was sad when I found out their mother died. She was very sweet and when we were all young I thought she was so beautiful! We all went to the same church back then.
yes yes and yes to everything you guys said about it..i love this tune. have since it came out in 2015ish. reminds me of a great point in time in history...:) but yea theyve used this in commercials etc.
Caleb Followill has one of thoose voices,i tend to compare him to greats like Bryan Adams,Rod Stewart etc,a voice you recognize within the first couple of seconds singing. Theese guys are all related btw. They named theyr band after theyr father and grandfather that both had the name Leon. My favourite song by them (this one is following right after) is the cool basslined song Closer. If you havent heard that one yet,then its a good suggestion for the future.
Y’all should watch their documentary “Talihina Sky” that’s the name of the Oklahoma( okie girl here too 😉” town they grew up in. Their dad was a traveling Pentecostal preacher for a lot of those years. I still listen to this album. I was in my early early 30’s when they released this one. I’m 47 now and still love all their music 🫶🏼
I’ve always loved this song!!! Thanks for reacting to this song!!! On another note I would love to see you guys react to Soul Asylum - Runaway Train official music video. The video has a powerful message…
Yes i did say in the previous livestream i think yall had reacted to this one awhile ago i think BJ you said you liked the way he says "Use" in the chorus & your interpretation of "I could use somebody" was that he could do with a helping hand or someone to talk to/lean on in that particular moment or in times of need" something along them lines lol
It's just good American rock. Nothing flashy. It's not perfect, his voice cracks, but that's what makes it real. You will not hear an album like this anymore. I did a fair aboutn of recording in the 90s and 2000s, nothing anyone here would have heard, but I know how it worked. Today with quantizing of the little imperfections, pitch correction and the timing being accurate enough for NASA to use just kinda removed much of the human element. If you want to hear an AMAZING record, listen to "The Trinity Sessions" from the Cowboy Junkies. The entire album was recorded in Trinity Church somewhere up in Canada. We're almost in we're almost the entire album they use this singular ambient microphone that they all performed live around, they didn't do separate tracks. If the levels of a particular instrument was too low, they had to physically move the amp towards the mic. The acoustic guitar was too quiet, so be had to play closer. It honestly is in the over four decades of listening to music, the best sounding album I've ever heard. That doesn't include the songs themselves I'm talking about just the tone of the album is incredible. The album itself is excellent too, half of it are Townes Van zandt songs. You might have heard of some: sweet Jane, misguided angel, a cowboys lament, etc. their next album had a lot of great songs too, but they recorded it in the more traditional manner in it just doesn't have the magic that first one did.
48 seconds into this video by you guys my exact thought is this..." they're a beautiful couple". Being a awesome couple doesn't guarantee success. Keep working and ya'lls payoff is going to be so worth it. ~
I never thought I'd hear a black man mispronounce the name Leon. JB Smoove is spinning in his plush ass bed while he's trying to lamp. If you don't get that reference start watching Curb Your Enthusiasm from season 6, episode 1. "Peanut"!
I had to stop this. This is an awesome song and and an awesome weekend. My ex-wife and I saw them in Indianapolis. We also saw Muse in our hometown of Milwaukee. You haven't reviewed Muse yet. I suggest , Supermasive Blackhole. first. Then, go from there. This song is going to kill me. Carry on.

Is she still apart of your life? Please update us brother! I am in recovery
@darkforestLied Stay strong! You got this! Been in your shoes brother! Always here if you need someone!
Such an underrated band. Check out "Sex on fire" for another banger.
Still one of my all time favorite songs. One of those songs that you never tire of.
This was a good song. Has never gotten old.
this album is amazing from start to finish! it was in my cd player when I brought my first born daughter home from the hospital 12 years ago!!!! anytime i hear it thats the first memory that pops in my head.
Aww I love this! What a great memory to have and the songs not to bad either :)
Just seen them in concert about 4 weeks ago, absolutely awesome live, 3 hours of sing along greatness
My favorite band. Awesome in concert. I love this so much it’s my husband’s ringtone!

KoL are a great rabbit hole to dive into...Their sound has changed so much over the years as they have grown and matured. Caleb's voice is such a gem.
Man I miss this band soooooooooo much great early 2000's band......great reaction guys!!
My high school buddies & I LOVED this band! The Kings of Leon are all related too (3 brothers + their cousin). 🔥🎸🥁
This is the greatest band cos they’re from my home town

This sing was everywhere when it came out. Still love it! This was a crossover hit for them.
This won the Grammy for Record of the Year in 2010.
yes yes and yes to everything you guys said about it..i love this tune. have since it came out in 2015ish. reminds me of a great point in time in history...:) but yea theyve used this in commercials etc.
Brilliant I love Kings of Leon. My 2 favourites are "WALLS" and "100,000 People".
I can’t find a single reaction to Back Down South by Kings of Leon. Would love to see you guys make that video!
Great song. I'm not real familiar with their stuff, but I've heard a few of their songs that I really like.
Love this song! This whole album is amazing 🎶 plus his voice! So good 🎶
This is probably their most popular song but y’all should check out “Molly’s Chambers”…such a hard-hitting banger!
Such a Great Song 🎵.. brings tears to my eyes

He sounds exactly the same live. Check out Closer, Fans, Family tree.
I saw them live in Toronto. It was awesome
Three brothers and a cousin whose grandfather's name was Leon. Hence they are all 'Kings of Leon' 😎
Love his voice 😊
A) went to high school with the bassist and B) they’ve been one of the best bands over the last few years
Awesome band
Asia was saying background music. To me it sounds like something you would here in a movie. Blessings guys, awesome reaction. 👍🎶
You guys should check out Blue October-Hate Me. Great song with deep, heartfelt lyrics.
There's a Presets Remix of their song "Closer" that I listen to all the time.
Another song that is a banger from them is called Manhattan
Love kings of Leon. This is a smash 👍
These guys are family...brothers and cousins!!🎶 Dive deep!!🎶🎵
Awesome song by Kings of Leon. Listen to their other big hit Sex on Fire.
i think you guys would love Carolina Liar "Show Me What I'm Looking For" it was a fantastic song!
Great band live! Top 5 bands ever for me. Talent!!
Kings of leon are fire🔥🔥🔥
Seen them live one year, suuuch an emotional set. Love them
Someone like you, somebody. Someone like, use somebody.
Kings Of Leon a great band to hit up. Some more songs from them:
"Sex On Fire"
"In The Water"
"On Call"
"Knocked Up"
"Fans"
It’s called radioactive not “in the water” 😂😂😂
I love their entire first albumn 💥
I’ve always loved this song!!! Thanks for reacting to this song!!! On another note I would love to see you guys react to Soul Asylum - Runaway Train official music video. The video has a powerful message…
Their debut album was fantastic too.
Sex on fire is also a banger. No pun intended. 🤘
Closer is so haunting
Yes i did say in the previous livestream i think yall had reacted to this one awhile ago i think BJ you said you liked the way he says "Use" in the chorus & your interpretation of "I could use somebody" was that he could do with a helping hand or someone to talk to/lean on in that particular moment or in times of need" something along them lines lol
I loved playing Rocksmith because this was one of the songs to master but I've heard it on a lot of other games too.

You have to listen to Closer by KOL!!!! So good ❤
This is a great song. Would be cool to see you react to the cover of this song done by Haley Williams of Paramore. She did a nice job covering it.
Should give their song Milk a try. Been a long time but it was one of my favorites growing up with em. Liked the reaction!
48 seconds into this video by you guys my exact thought is this..." they're a beautiful couple". Being a awesome couple doesn't guarantee success. Keep working and ya'lls payoff is going to be so worth it. ~

I never thought I'd hear a black man mispronounce the name Leon. JB Smoove is spinning in his plush ass bed while he's trying to lamp. If you don't get that reference start watching Curb Your Enthusiasm from season 6, episode 1. "Peanut"!
