Kings Show Off "Manhood"

Kings of Leon will tour this fall to support their debut album, Youth and Young Manhood, released last month. The dates start September 4th in Philadelphia, less than two weeks after the band wraps Lollapalooza August 24th in Saint Helens, Oregon.

The tour, now confirmed through an October 4th show in Denver, is the Followill boys' -- Nathan, Caleb, Jared and Matthew -- first full-scale headlining outing in the U.S., though they've already done Japan right. "Fans there were great," singer Caleb Followill told Rolling Stone. "We can't wait to go back to our favorite strip bar in Tokyo."

“Satisfied”

Tom Waits | 2011

Only the genius of Tom Waits could combine the subject of mortality, a reoccurring theme in his work, with wordplay that name checks both Mick and Keith, whom he calls "Mr. Jagger" and "Mr. Richards," and the title of their magnum opus, "Satisfaction." And to show just how cool Waits really is, he even got Mr. Richards to play along, one of nine guest appearances the guitarist has made on three Waits albums. "This growling roadhouse stomp is a late-breaking response to the Stones' greatest hit," Rolling Stone said of the track.
