Even if the sound was bad cos of the wind theres no need to throw a tantrum about it. It would have been the same for all the bands.

I was at Reading and thought the set was pretty much perfect..... Musically a great set bar the Caleb ranting to the crowd a few times.
I was in shock when they went off swearing etc......Still don't know what to make of it really.
I wouldnt associate that kind of behavior with KOL. I'm still pretty gutted about it....

The thing that makes me so confused is that KOL's sound was a hell of a lot better of most of the other bands I heard all weekend?! Even bands who played Reading have put on twitter they can't understand Caleb's problem, and why he's putting down the country that supposedly "made" them

Blaming the fans doesn't really help either way. You spend six years wanting something and the next six being mad at the people who give it to you. I don't know. The whole thing is kind of sad.

Yeah, and they may be sitting comfortably now but if they carry on like this they won't have any fans! I never thought I'd see the day I'd not defend them but I feel a bit cheated I was considering cancelling my trip to the US for them but hopefully it'll be okay by then, I would have got over this by the end of the week I hope!

^ I'd say most of the bands on the main stage had sound problems. If not someone tell me other wise, i may need my hearing tested.

that was the most honest KOL performance since obtn was released, im so glad they're starting to actually show emotion on stage, it makes their whole performance better if theres soul and emotion so im glad and i can see where their frustration is coming from, the song they're least proud of is the one that made them big and that's never gonna be good, lol.

gah i wasnt at reading but of course i sky +ed it and well ive never seen caleb more annoyed to play sof ever i mean i know when i knew it was coming i was like ugh im sober..i dont wanna hear this song but i just felt so..i dont even know what the word is here..hurt maybe for him? i know he said some pretty uncalled for things that night, but i can understand he must be stressed and tired and really sick of touring the obtn album :/ i really just hope they get a well deserved rest and i dont even mind if i dont see them for a year...well thats a lie i would but if it means they come back to ireland happy and with a new album (which i also pray flops in the commerical sense) then it'll be well worth the waiting i would really love to hear alot more of the devil type songs on this next album calebs voice is literally SEX in it (:

im glad people are saying they hope no.5 is a commercial flop, because i think exactly the same! it needs to be an album for the fans... a sexy, dirty, 100% rock and roll album and one that they'll never get fed up of playing! im excited already haha

It doesn't need to be an album for the fans, it needs to be an album for the band. Fuck the rest of the world.

Fuck the rest of the world. i meant as in us who have always been there, not the part timers Having only truly grasped the sheer fabulousness of KoL from about September last year, I haven't "always been there".... the important thing is that they make an album they're truly, madly, deeply in love with.... then we'll all be happy to watch them play it till the cows come home, surely?
