[edit] Artists
Shouldn't Nathan and Matthew get their own wikipedia pages, because Caleb and baby Jared do?
[edit] Voodoo music fest
I think it should be added that the Kings of Leon are schedeled to play at the Voodoo music fest, October 28, 29. Im not sure where it should go so im going to add a new section feel free to correctly put where ever.
[edit] Violent Content
I think there should be some mention of the graphic content of their songs, with NPOV. Trani, 4 Kicks, Soft, Joe's Head. It's often directed towards women, and it's a unique characteristc for a band with such a blues-y, southern rock feel. I'll added soon, and contributions would be appreciated.

Their songs aren't that graphic, well possibly with the exception of Soft, but even that, especially in comparison to most mainstream rap songs and even some pop songs is not that bad.
[edit] "Be There"
I'm pretty certain that the song supposedly first played in Newcastle, Australia is called "I'm on Call" and has been played previous to this gig. I was at this gig, and the new songs I heard I had heard before on YouTube from previous gigs. Should we delete that part of the article? Seeing as no sources are sited anyway.

[edit] Red Light Nights
I'm pretty sure that the Tyson of Red Light Nights is the Kings cousin. I'm not sure if he's second cousin or anything like that but I think my aunt told me that was the relation (I'm Matthew's cousin). Our family has a lot of cousins. Rockerflutist1 23:49, 2 January 2007
[edit] U.K./U.S. popularity
is there any justification for the distinction that they are far more popular in europe, as is currently made twice in the article? seems to be someone's opinion. i think they are fairly popular here in the U.S. too, at least in indie circles. Jwigton 17:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Not number 1 album popular. :p
[edit] 28 million records sales?
I have a hard time believing that KOL have sold 28 million records. For comparison, Nickelback (ugh, but well-known and successful) have sold 25 million records. Someone want to provide a link to back up the 28 million claim? That whole paragraph is poorly written and sounds totally fanboy-ish. Prove me wrong. Greg Salter (talk) 04:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- With no backing references, removed the material. In fact, I did find one sales figure that gave the first album sales of 500,000; in other words, the second and third albums each averaged about 14 million each? Completely unrealistic. Prove me wrong. Greg Salter (talk) 16:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
