Kings of Leon Home Videos are Terrible

Why the hell do I continue to watch these terrible videos day after day? None of them were in the least bit interesting and are actually starting to make me dislike these guys.
I love the music but damn, these guys are idiots. These look like videos that 12 year olds would post on the MySpace or YouTube. I don't even know what is going on in some of them- oh look a guy fell through a roof, hey there's a guy washing his hair, now it's time to snort something. What in the hell made them think this was a good idea!?!?!
I was hoping for videos that had substance, like with each clip dealing with an issue in a certain song or the actual recording process (which the 1st video had a little bit of). I can't imagine that the band watches these and think its doing any good for them.

I mean it's not like they were ever that good. But at least their older material was fun. They suck hard now.
That's a little extreme. They are a rock band after all.
I mean, for God's sake, Eddie Vedder destroyed his dressing room in Carnegie Hall when he appeared with Pete Townsend, and wrote "It's my generation, baby," on the wall. If that's not being a fucktard, please tell me what is.

great music though
In theory these videos are a great idea but this subject came up between a girlfiend and I and our general consensus is that we're not sure if we want to see the rest of the videos because they're kind of diminishing them in our eyes and neither of us likes that. I told her, "They look like 12-year olds, don't they?"
Yes. Yes they do.
But they still rock and the new album does, too.

I was only really watching them to hear snippets of the new album, but now it's leaked I've given up. Just seemed like them goofing around to me, which is pretty harmless, no?

absolutely my good man
Exactly, why should they pretend to be people they're not, just for the cameras?
I didn't think anything was weird at all. It was like watching a video of me and my friends.
I'd pay one of my friends to snort a line of wasabi too

If I released a bunch of videos of myself like that I'd probably get canned from work and become socially ostricized. Some of us live in the real world.
On the other hand, I'm not sure what you were expecting. This is Kings of Leon, seems to me most of their music is about partying and sex. They've always been a style before substance kind of band. Did you expect videos of them sitting around reading? They have a super cool image to protect.
They are in my mind a party rock band...and a very good one at that.
Could you explain what you mean by that?

Cool to see Ed kickin' it and having a good time w/ the boys.
i think they have always had a marketed look all the way back to their first album............
the music rocks...........vocals are great.........but i wish they would continue maturing on the lyrics / hype thing.

Hell, I don't think I've eevn seen one of their videos.
I know they're not the most ground breaking or original band. But I think they're good and I like 'em.
When I stop liking them, I'll stop listening. But videos? Not gonna change my mind.

not music videos we're talking about dude.. did you even read any of this thread?
they have been releasing HOME video footage of them making the new album... a short segment every day has been released.
we're not discussing cinematography of The Bucket
Yeah, I grasped what the thread was about, but still feel the same.
That kind of thing isn't gonna sway what I feel about music.
Whilst you mention The Bucket, I stuck that on the jukebox in the pub last night. What a fucking song.
They may be shit at making home videos, but they can make pretty decent music!

Great stuff.
