KoL at Pukkelpop

[birs]

Friday the 20th I saw Kings of Leon perform at Pukkelpop (Belgium). The music was really great and amazing, but I was a bit disappointed of their attitude. They didn't smile or say anything. Ok, Caleb apologized for that: 'We're not into being funny and saying a lot, we're here for the music'. But they took themselves far too seriously! It was like they didn't even want to be there. I don't know, maybe it was my imagination, but Jared really seemed a bit arrogant too. At one point, he knocked over his bottle of beer and some man had to clean it up, but Jared acted like it was beneath his dignity to even look at the poor guy or to thank him.

Well... apart from that and from the agressive drunken men in the audience, it was a really wonderful experience They played some new stuff which sounded very groovy and I bought a very cool t-shirt so that everyone can see how much of a fan I am!

Can't wait to see them again (I hope, however, that they'll be in a better mood!)

Love from the Belgian girl

Aaaw sorry u feel like that hun but I'm glad u enjoyed the performance. I doubt it was that they didn't want to be there, they never seem to say much at gigs or laugh or owt like that, its just their thing.

And Jared is a bit arrogant, thats why he may have seemed that way Thats *my* opinion anyway!

[sel]

ooh i know what you mean but caleb was soo much more animated at v! like he held his arms out during trani 'and she'll shine...' bit!

[PrickleyPorcupine]

Oooh I've got a pic of him doing that from Beni, its in that thread somewhere, I scanned it.

[Jaded]

I think Caleb gets a bit overwhelmed and shy at festivals to talk to such a huge crowd. I don't think its that they take themselves too seriously.

Hey!
Well I was there to. Me & my two appleshakin friends had a great time. We had travelled two days from Sweden to Pukkelpop just for the Kings.. and it sure was worth it!

Matthews guitar-solo on Trani was the best ever!
Thank u preachers sons.

(By the wy, I'm new here. A bit shy, but I'll get past that.. )

[Rusty]

The Kings didnt even like glasto did they? Matt was basically invisible. they must be shy. The Datsuns are an amazing gig band they look like they really enjoy every second of it, and the Tokyo Dragons hahahaha legends

Ooow cool that you were there too! And to come all the way from Sweden, that's really amazing! Did you like the festival? Did you stay three days?

Yeah the end of Trani rocked big time. Those Followill boys nearly came, didn't they!

love,
Birsen

[milK]

two days? fuck! credit due. stick around Lilldykaren
and yes rusty, matthew was invisible. read that they had basically just come out of the studio when they did glasto, maybe he was concentrating.
i'll scan and post it soon.
it even has the loveable jared in, no sarcasm he's actually the being the jared we know and love! i almost fell over it was so nice to see!

[Lilldykaren]

We did stay all three days. The festival was nice, I loved the kills and White Stripes. But they were just nothing compared to the kings.. ofcourse. You actually may have seen us, if you where up front. We ehere the ones with the big Appleshakers-flag.

>"Yeah the end of Trani rocked big time. Those Followill boys nearly came, didn't they!"

Haha, actually, I think some of them did...

Why, thank you milk! By the way: who ever doubted Jared was a loveable little man is a shithead!

[PrickleyPorcupine]

May I introduce myself, my name is shithead

[Lilldykaren]

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess i'm just being overprotective.. hihi

[PrickleyPorcupine]

No worries hun, I'm just being mean.

I love the old Jared, I want to seeeeee!!

"You actually may have seen us, if you where up front. We were the ones with the big Appleshakers-flag."

Hey I was up front too! However, I didn't see your flag, but were you the ones who spoke English to each other? And did you sit there a huge amount of time before the performance started?

Anyway, I'm glad you liked the festival, I think it's the best one in Belgium. But hey, we haven't got that many festivals in our small country, have we!

Hehe, well that was us, alright!

Yeah, Belgium was nice. We had great problems finding food- and liquor-stores though... seems like the belgic people only eat bread? but hey, I love bread!

[dirty bird]

so, is that you in your pic then?
bread is great!

[Lilldykaren]

yes it is!
let's bread-feast!

[Jane]

You can't go wrong with some good bread.

[jiffy]

Or head.

Or a woeful lack of street cred.
