I’ve been waiting for this for a while now. Too bad it couldn’t have been during Youth and Young Manhood or Aha Shake Heartbreak….or even Because of the Times.
I hope the article is well written.

^^I agree.

Agreed! They’ve done better work than their most recent release but that doesn’t minimize the fact that the Kings deserve this. RS still stinks though….had to say that, because they rerally didn’t give KOL the time of day until they became radio friendly, over played, and over exposed. At least the world knows that the Kings are a force to be reckoned with….it just took RS and others some time to catch on to that fact.

The Kings of Leon today are basically The Band in 1968… And I dig it.

Is it just me or is King Of Leon the 38 Special of this generation? I don’t mean that as a diss. 38 Special is a solid southern rock band with poppy songs.

I had “Aha Shake” and listened to “Sex On Fire”. I just don’t get what is so great about King Of Leon. Like I said, they are not bad. Just not that great.

I would have loved to seen the photos be in the same vein as the album package. They should have used the guy who shot the package “Ray Lego” he made them look so amazing and dreamy.

took you long enough to notice them RS they been around since 03 and you guys just got around to give them a cover??? …. idiots ….

I am so glad that people are starting to see that there is still good music in th world. It is very rare to come across aband as talented as the Kings of Leon; especialy now. The Followill lads are great in the studio but also great live. So thanx RS for finally putting them on the cover. Alot of bands could learn from them.

Better 5 years late than never I suppose!!
KOL are an amazing band who not only are flawless live but have the most impressive back catalogue of songs of any band around. I’ve seen them live 5 times now and each time they somehow improve on perfection!

No need to trash RS for just now putting KOL on the cover. RS was all over these guys five years ago…that’s why I bought their first album. RS has ALWAYS jocked KOL (especially the Smoking Section). Kudos for a great cover shoot!

god im so proud of them.They really deserve this they have work their asses of since 2000 ,so i cant think of anyone that deserves all this as much as them.Ive been a fan since 04 and ive seen them grow so much as artist and people, and their just lovely talented boys,that deserve all their recognition for their hard hard work.good job guys!

Kings of Leon are the greatest rock band on the scene. Great live shows, great music. I’ll never get sick of em. Let’s hope they put out some more music soon…

Kings of Leon are nothing less then spectacular. I do not agree with those 10 songs though
“cold dessert” definitely should have made it on that list along with “Revelry”
“Milk”
“True Love way”
“Ragoo”
“Fans”
“Arizona”
“Manhattan”
“Soft”
“Wicker chair”
and last but not least
“The runner”
:]
CHYEAH

Awesome band, have followed them for years, great on album even better live! Its great to finally see America realize what the have been missing that the rest of the world has known for a while. Kudos guys for making the cover

omg! im gonna have to start buying rolling stone again! best cover yet!!!
it’s great that KOL are filally getting the recognition they truley deserve. it’s not often that you come accross an awesome band that write their own stuff and play their own instruments. the new album is godly.

KOL at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, 2009. Wow! Report to follow…
