I love Kings of Leons' high pitched chords in other songs, its so quintessential 2000s indie post-punk revival. So perfectly moody and exciting/danceable at the same time.
@@cam-asherbond5316 that would make them all cousins. Each of them is a cousin of Matthew while Matthew is a cousin of them making them all a Followill cousin.
For me they are like The Southern Strokes. The dual guitar playing is much simpler but still effective, Matt's a beast guitarist but I really love Caleb's simple and sometimes constant playing.
KOL are like Tool in that they show us that guitar work doesn't have to be difficult to play to be brilliant and powerful. It's all in how you play it and arrange it.
Nathan's mastery of stumbling into the melody, using the "dotted kick-and-snare pattern" seems to be Nathan's signature move. I think it's stunning what he can evoke from a drum kit. I've struggled to describe his use of bursts of melodic drumming. This description comes as close as I've heard. All of the members of KOL deserve the utmost respect.
Closer is one of my favorite songs of all time; Though I always thought it was really underrated. Nobody has ever brought it up, at least for me. In telling atmospheric rock songs.
I'm glad you made this video. I think this new album will give the Kings the credit they deserve. Of course, after they 'sold out' with Only By The Night there was kinda a whole ignoring of their 2010s output as a result, but really liking what I hear so far. Hope this video is the start of a positive reprisal of their work in the wider music nerd media.
One thing I noticed about the song it seems so collaborative that each verse each musician has his input driving it til the last part where they all jam. One more thing I'm not a musician I just love this song
I've watched their show in 2019 on Brazil's lollapalooza. The show was great, but it was so "rainy" and Interlagos was so full of mud that, cause I was sitting on a hill to watch the show with my cousin, I feel down and ended up hitting an random lady that was missing the action cause of her phone. That "I'd like to punch the people who are using cellphones in concerts" phrase it's something I can relate more than I would like. Saw the notification and instantly remembered that show, I'll be sending this video to my cousin Igor to share your amazing content Lie, thank you.
By far and away the most influential band in terms of influencing me as a player. (drums, guitar bass) Yeah I know most of their stuff is just pentatonic scale, but it's not about that. Its about having every layer of the band play a large role in creating the sound, or idea, they want a a whole.
Another great video!! Would you be keen to do a series where you dive deep into the guitar theory behind Josh Homme of QOTSA? I know you did a video on them previously. I think Josh's playing style is so unique. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts and/or disect his approach to playing guitar.
You should check out Guitar Moves Josh Homme and Matt Sweeney I think you'll find exactly what your looking for. Hey, while I'm talking to another QOTSA fan, I'd just like to know what your favorite QOTSA album is, what lineup is the best, and what Josh Homme side project you get into thw most.
Thanks. Yes i'll definitely make another video on Qotsa and Josh. Can't get enough of that. To answer Jovan's question, i think i'll have to pick the obvious answer and say the 2002 line up.
@@LieLikesMusic Hey what's up, man!!! Yeah that was a really great lineup, for sure- but I think Dave Ghrol's entry in the band did well to overshadow the awesome lineup that preceded with Nick Lucero on 🥁 circa 2000. To me, the shows from a this time were epic, super tight, yet still kinda loose, and a little bit more raw than the 2002 lineup, therefore I like the 2000 lineup just a wee bit better. Anyways, love the channel and everything you've done, esp on Josh Homme, John Frusciante, The Mars Volta, and Tool. A video on TV on the Radio would be interesting, just to put that out there. Keep up the good work.
He's their cousin... not nephew. And "Leaving me stranded all in love on my own" because she's also a vampire and he's been chasing after her for 2000 years. Yet he's finally getting "Closer". He can feel it.
I admit, I was really hoping you would explore how KoL wrote their riffs generally and not just do a breakdown of one song. But this breakdown was really good. I would love it if you could devote some more time to their other tracks and how they evolved from a three chord adrenaline rock band to a more complex (and at times much more simple) sound. Or just anything at all with Kings of Leon.
I'm sorry but Aha Shake heartbreak is is by far a masterpiece with raw no effects at all. And then they toured with The Secret Machines and Matt got a Boss ME 70 , btw your plays that part on closer w his mouth. Your lyrics explanation is off and has a spiritual meaning, end if days, alone, 2000 years, chasing God.
Hi. I hope you are doing well. Can you react to Justin Bieber's new song Hold On. The lead single of his album Justice. It comes out March 5th (Tomorrow night at midnight)
It's easy to become very knowledgeable of music and break down every little detail about a song someone else created. This is a good example of the difference between analytical and creative skills. Probably why people spend way too much time analyzing and critiquing popular music instead of trying to create something original
Oh hey look I'm so cool I hate Kings of Leon cuz I heard it's the cool thing to do. And I've heard nothing from them except sex on fire and use somebody. I'm so cool!
What band or artist should be next? 🎸🎶
Oasis
Oasis
Iron Maiden!!
The Melvins! XD
Psychedelic porn crumpets
Matthew is their cousin not theirs nephew. Anyways glad to see you talking about them. They’re def my favorite band.
Kings of Leon are magical
Agreed. Mechanical Bull is still on my heavy rotation

Hate to be that guy but Matthew is their cousin, not their nephew. Technically they are all cousins.
Not even being ‘that guy’, just correcting a mistake in the very first point the guy makes...
very well put together video though now after watching it. kudos.
@@JuiceGuy07 Thanks for liking the video. And yes, my bad. He's definitely their cousin.
Jared, Caleb, and Nathan are brothers, and Matthew is their cousin.
@@cam-asherbond5316 that would make them all cousins. Each of them is a cousin of Matthew while Matthew is a cousin of them making them all a Followill cousin.
Closer is imo the most mature KOL song. It stands out musically and lyrically in their stellar discography.
Enjoyed being a part of this!
We should do it again, eh'?
Definitely dude. It was a pleasure working with you on this!
For me they are like The Southern Strokes. The dual guitar playing is much simpler but still effective, Matt's a beast guitarist but I really love Caleb's simple and sometimes constant playing.

Kings of Leon is easily one of my favorite bands of all time. Come Around Sundown being my fav album. 😩🙌🔥
Legit one of my all-time favourite bands. You’re killing it, Lie!
Would love to hear ab Cage the Elephant, PUP, or Interpol

I’m named after kings of Leon
I’m sorry
Thank you for making this video man, much love towards the Kings.
You’re like if Paul Davids and Rick Beato had a kid
Thanks :) That's a big compliment.

Thanks for this, loved watching it! I'm nor a musician and don't know anything about instruments, but love Kings of Leon! Learned a lot!
That’s great. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
Finally someone talking in depth about their music!
UNDERSTANDING OHMS BY DEFTONES, PLEASE! I KNOW YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS NEW MASTERPIECE!
Yess !
Wow this video is so interesting, never noticed these stuff but indeed thats what makes Kings Of Leon so great
Because of the Times is a masterpiece imo
Nifty stuff! Interesting to hear they good reviews at the start from Ireland 😁🇮🇪

love that song
I'm a big fan of their music. I own every album after only by the night
You should talk about Warpaint! They’re so underrated
i was hoping you were gonna talk about their good early stuff
Some aha shake or because of the times would have been nice
@@Brynnoodles Maybe another time ;)
@@LieLikesMusic ooooooh i honestly think that’s a great subject, Youth and Young Manhood and Aha Shake Hearbreak are such incredible albums
He's their cousin... not nephew.
And "Leaving me stranded all in love on my own" because she's also a vampire and he's been chasing after her for 2000 years. Yet he's finally getting "Closer". He can feel it.
Closer is a great song to focus on. My favorite of theirs. Jared is probably the most underrated drummer of our time, next to Abe from Deftones.
I can see why everyone underrates him as a drummer, since he's a bassist tho
you should do “want you” next that’s my fav song by them
Hell yeah , Max is here! Hey make him listen to Karnivool lol
Both of us already do! :-)
The echo in the drum makes me think of foggy manchester daybreak
Can you make an understanding the smiths video please I’ve been listening to them a lot
"Biggest rock band ever" is way too far fetched , nobody talks about them anymore, this is coming from a huge fan. Great video though.
Bigger than the Beatles :p
Hairiest, maybe.
It’s because they’re underrated.
When he was talking I was expecting biggest rock band of it's generation or something like that.
Biggest rock band ….in their block…maybe 😂
Ps I’m a fan of them
Can you do understanding danney Carey or Jonathan Davis please
Yessssssss
This song feels very similar to Souvlaki Space Station by Slowdive. I wonder if KOL have any shoegaze influence
Thanks for the video! Love watermelon sugar!
They released " a ha Shake heartbreak" after "Youth and Young Manhood" as well you forgot that how could you forget that
I didn't forget that. I just chose to focus on something else for this video.
Umm, Mat is not their nephew, he's their cousin. Come on man.
Matt is their Cousin not Nephew
Also Caleb's name is pronounced (kay-leb)
Understanding Björk pleaaase
Watch 30 days of night and then listen to the song
Kal-ibb...?
I have nevet even heard of this band 🤔 Im from Finland but thats odd anyway...
Vampire lmfao
This song is not about a damn vampire lmao.
Yes it is
Matthew is their cousin, not nephew.
Hi Lie, sort this out Matthew is not the nephew of the three brothers, he was their cousin. Try remember it next time
Wow get your facts right! Man. Mathew Followill is there cousin not nephew
Angelo
KAYLEB

Cousin, my bad

The first three albums were the real Kings of Leon.
So the rest of their albums are the fake Kings of Leon?
Dude cool video but you’re killing me lol. It’s pronounced “KAY-LUB”.
Second
41st
First!
And worst
They're one of the biggest bands of the 20th century, but ever is a bit of a stretch 😂
Kings of Leon fan and I agree
But like why would you want to write riffs like kings of Leon?
Huh lmao
Oh hey look I'm so cool I hate Kings of Leon cuz I heard it's the cool thing to do. And I've heard nothing from them except sex on fire and use somebody. I'm so cool!
@@nathanwright1201 nah they actually aren’t that great, but keep your panties in a twist, champ
@@Louzahsol music is subjective. If you don’t like them then that’s your opinion. Personally I think they’re underrated
@@los_reyes9517 **overrated** FTFY
Kings of leon died 2013
They lost me 2008. But somehow I am really amazed by the two new Songs.
@@mrfoogaba2005 Maybe they're back for another solid run of music
Looks like either your ears or brain died in 2013. 2013's Mechanical Bull had many gems in it like Beautiful War, Tonight and Temple and Wait For Me.
@@nathanwright1201 Mechanical Bull was the last one
@@Hero96 walls was a little let down but the new album is really good.
its a terrible song that youve made worse by talking it to death
Yeah ok your band picks have stunk for a while now. Good luck... outta here
Alright, cheers
