Weenie Roast
Anyone going?
I would, but uncle Jimbob wants to take me crawdad fishing that weekend.
Never mind it's 3,000 miles away.
I'll be at the Pullman Square Weenie Roast later this year, instead.

Re: Weenie Roast
Kings of Leon is the worst band since Nickleback. In fact, I would happily sit through Rockstar 10 times before I would listen to any of that garbage.

That "distant wailing" in "Use Somebody" calls to me in some way, though........I'm diggin' it.Big Media wrote:Kings of Leon is the worst band since Nickleback. In fact, I would happily sit through Rockstar 10 times before I would listen to any of that garbage.
But that song needs something....I've thought of it as "The Little Song That Almost Could."

"Yeeee...it looks like a 'Belt Buckle & Ball Cap' convention in here......"

Re: Weenie Roast
Nickelback sucks compared to Kings of Leon. They're not a wildly great band, but definitely more interesting.Big Media wrote:Kings of Leon is the worst band since Nickleback. In fact, I would happily sit through Rockstar 10 times before I would listen to any of that garbage.
Then again, I'm an unabashed alterna-geek, so I like this type of "sound".
Couldn't agree more. I like it, but there is something slightly "off" about it.Arp2 wrote:That "distant wailing" in "Use Somebody" calls to me in some way, though........I'm diggin' it.

"Sex on Fire" rocks, though.

Re: Weenie Roast
Kings of Leon are about as Alternative as the Carpenters.
Corporate rock is corporate rock, no matter how many tattoos you put on it.

Re: Weenie Roast
I guess this is the part where you wow us with five "real" bands that nobody has ever heard of, yet our lives are meaningless until we hear them.
Actually, Silversun Pickups is the band I like the the most in that lineup. "Panic Switch" is awesome.

Re: Weenie Roast
Naw, I'm completely cynical about it now. I don't believe there is anything alternative. If they're playing at a gig for a radio station, one owned by a major corporation, and they're in LA for gosh sakes, they're not alternative.

Re: Weenie Roast
My two cents: I actually like Kings Of Leon. That's interesting because I hate 311.
That's clutch right there. . . . .

Re: Weenie Roast
You like them because you keep thinking their name is "Spinks of Leon".
