Kings of Leon's "Live at the O2 London" DVD Out November 10th

Kings of Leon's sold-out three-night stand at London's O2 Arena will be the subject of the Followill clan's first DVD, Live at the O2 London, England, due out November 10th. The DVD itself was filmed on June 30th, 2009, with the band rocking out in front of a packed house of 18,000 fans. The 22-song set list hits on all four of the Kings' albums, stretching from "Molly's Chambers" to "Be Somebody" and all those essential tracks in between. For the technologically advanced, Live at the O2 London, England will also be released on Blu-ray on November 24th.

As Rolling Stone previously reported, Kings of Leon have also recruited Justin Timberlake, Pharrell Williams, Mark Ronson, Lykki Li and Linkin Park for an upcoming remix album the AMA-nominated Kings have in the works. The former Rolling Stone cover boys have also been sound-checking eight to ten new songs recently. If the band wasn't busy enough, Caleb Followill will also guest-judge on an upcoming episode of Iron Chef: America.

“Weird”

Hanson | 1997

Accomplished tunesmith Desmond Child co-wrote "Weird" with the three brothers that make up Hanson. Credited for dozens of cuts, including songs by Kiss, Cher, Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, Child told Rolling Stone that "Weird" holds a special place in his heart, "because it's about being different--and I grew up poor, I grew up being Latin, I grew up being gay, and now I'm fat!" The song was included on Hanson's 1997 album Middle of Nowhere, which sold more than ten million units.
