I don't get the love for Wait For Me...it's not bad...just a little boring....

My favorites are Rock City, Temple, Don't Matter and Comeback Story

Well like Ed said in the latest interview with Judd Apatow, sometimes a song means something a little stronger because of where you were or what you were doing when you heard it. For me my fiance was just about to leave across country after only having been home for a couple weeks. Her job is in Arizona and we only get to see each other a few times a year (excluding things like Skype). Maybe that's why I love it so much.

Kings of Leon could plan a Canadian Tour in February and March:

I'm really liking the new album. After really liking their first three - Youth and Young Manhood is my favorite - the next two didn't do much for me. I had very low expectations for this album, but I like 7 or 8 of the 11 songs on it. After listening the new Pearl Jam album once through, I'd say Mechanical Bull is probably better overall.

-DUCKS-

So I got drunk last night and posted on facebook that of the three new albums that I've bought and listened to over the past couple of weeks from bands I love (Placebo, KOL, Pearl Jam) I actually think Placebo's is the best. My husband made a really valid point though, that being that because I love Pearl Jam and KOL SO SO much, I had much higher expectations about those two albums than Placebo's and so therefore Placebo is better in my mind because there were no expectations for it to live up to. I thought that made sense.

Having said that, I love love Mechanical Bull, but my favourite is Because of the Times - and yep, Knocked up is an awesome song! My all time favourite Kings of Leon song is Revelry though. I just love it - takes me to a whole other place when I listen to it.

Now that I have listened to Lightning Bolt several more times, I like it more than I did on my first and second listens - but I honestly don't think it's as good of an album as Mechanical Bull (or Loud Like Love). So I'll join you in ducking for the bullets now!

I'm really starting to like this album. Good stuff. Will definitely be checking them out when they come to Chicago.

I have 2 lower level pairs for sale for the Minneapolis show on March 6th. Face value e-tickets, $150 a pair. One in section 113 and one in section 110. PM if interested.

Hoping they return to Great Woods in Mansfield for a summer show.

I won't likely have the cash for their February date after three PJ shows and the holidays .

I last saw them their on 09/11/09.

Wow! What a show!

What the fuck?? I'm just thinking about seeing KOL in Vancouver and looked at the ticket prices on TM. Um, floor seats start at $250?!???!!! :-O Who do they think they are? Paul McCartney?

KOL are great live. My fave albums are still youth and young manhood and because of the times.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised at the setlist they played last night. 27 songs, and a good mix of new old. True Love Way played for the first time in six years. Probably not enough for me to go and see them this month, but if they come back around this summer, maybe. Be anxious to see if they stick to the same set every night, or if they mix it up. They certainly have the catalog to do it.

27 songs?! That is really unexpected. Makes me feel disappointed that I won't be able to go see them when they're in Toronto on February 26.

Was gonna say: that's impressive. Brought back some songs last night that had been shelved. Hope they keep playing this amount of songs. Would love if they start mixing up their sets like PJ does. With 6 albums it's easy to start doing so.

This used to be my favorite band second to pearl jam for a long time. Saw them a bunch of times before they blew up with OBTN. However, when I saw them last it was at the TD Garden in Boston in 2010 and I thought the show was mediocre at best, and short. New album is good though and hopefully the time off did them good. Glad to hear they are playing more songs and mixing up the setlists, especially throwing in True Love Way. Such a great tune! Maybe I will have to give them another chance.

Now bring back camaro!

I went tonight in Nashville, definitely the same songs. I think some of the order may have been a little different. Trani was definitely moved to the encore after Crawl. The production level of the show is high enough I really wouldn't expect any huge setlist changes.

i'm with you. used to love them a lot then they hit it big, saw them just about everytime they came to the philly area. I like Mechanical Bull a lot, kinda underrated i think. They are playing near me in another week a the wells fargo and eventhough Gary clark jr. is playing with them i'm gonna pass, too much money for me.

Welp, looks like I'm going to the DC show...pumped!!!

See, I find that disappointing. They have such potential as a band, no need to just pump out the same generic setlist every night.

oh i completely agree. i bought both within a week of each other and i base it on the fact MB had more spins that LB haha.

nachovision on Instagram - get on it!

hanging for the Aussie mechanical bull tour dates, ughhhh!!

was tempted to go to tonight's show in philly but passed.

I went... Good show, nothing special. One and done seeing them live at least for a few years for me. I couldn't believe an usher came into our box and handed us print outs of the setlist before they went on.

I lost a lot of respect for KoL after that move.
