Byrd's Eye View: Kings Of Leon
Heather Byrd
Last Thursday, Kings of Leon stopped by Exit/In for a short-but-sweet dedication ceremony. Seems that the guys have earned the honor of being added to Exit's Wall of Fame, which also includes such acts as The Police, Johnny Cash and The Allman Brothers Band. Bands must sell out the room twice, or at least be close personal favorites of booking agency Great Big Shows, to be added to the wall.
GBS' Chris Cobb did the honors of hanging the plaque on the wall, as the guys quipped that they like watching people screw. (Screw things into the wall, that is. Get your minds outta the gutter, dirty birds!) The band then pondered where they would head off for a few cold beverages, adding that they have been kicked out of just about every bar in Nashville, including a lifetime ban from The Gold Rush for starting a fight with one of the cooks in the bathroom.
As for future hopes, the guys have set their standards very high. Bass player Jared Followill joked, "First the Wall of Fame at Exit/In, next, our pictures on the bathroom wall at The Palm!" Nice work, guys
