Well many a year ago (summer 2003 I think) my best friend told me about her new most favorite band in the whole world. Suprisingly I grew to like them. I'd hated most of her most favorite bands in the whole world before then. But I'm still around after all these years

It was when I was only playing 70's music for about 2 months. It's an annual thing I go through.  I was listening to the Allman Bros. and my friend interrupted: "You know who sounds better and looks sexier than the Allman Bros.?" You get what happened next. My ears were opened to a better kind of Rock 'N' Roll. I've praised KOL's music from then on. |

haha I shall answer my own question... For me, I was pretty much bored one night on a couple of Strokes sites reading articles and stuff and I kept reading that a band called Kings of Leon toured with The Strokes. So it gave me a bit of curiosity but for awhile I didn't think anything of it. Then one day I came across a download of Molly's Chambers on a random site and I thought to myself "Oh look theres that band that toured with The Strokes!" So I downloaded it and automatically listened to it. From the first second of hearing Molly's Chambers I fell in love. And i'm still in love with KOL! |

I first hear them on the radio (it was XFM), Molly's chambers was being played constantly and i really liked it, then the video came out and i got a bit scared ( i was younger then) the whole image and the southern accent, gave me shivers, but i just had an instant liken to them. I had mentioned it to my friends and none of them had heard of them.. and believe it or not, most people that i talk to about music are still not familiar with KOL. and i seem to be the only girl amongst my friends that actually knows and likes their music  most of them seems to be boys |

I HATED them at first! I thought it was all about the image and that it all seemed so CONTRIVED. Their whole image was like "who are these guys trying to be?" I then started hearing The Bucket on the radio and TV and was cross cos I found it really catchy and didn' really want to like it and have to change my mind, but, my best friend Emily said they were great - whose music taste I value - and my husbands friend at work lent him ASH and I reluctantly gave it a go and listened to it once, then listened to it straight away all the way through again which I NEVER do and immediately fell in love. Then went and bought the first album and was totally smitten.

well for me it was an accident. i was walkin around this music store, lookin through the strokes stuff. saw YAYM accidently put there and (as you know) the cover was all white, so i thought it was some strokes CD i had never seen, so i went to the listening part of the store and scaned it and it started playin and i was like... "this is not the strokes.............but DAMN its good". the rest is history

i was flattered that they wrote a song with my name in, so felt i should support them in all their pursuits! so i bought that nme with them looking fucking cool in it with the rifles and vintage t-shirts in the park(poster still on my wall ha!) read the interview and was immediately a fan. went and bought youth and young manhood and when i first heard it was like "jesus what the hell is wrong with his voice?", but gave it another go and the rest is history |

Was really into the Strokes. Read that they were touring with a band called Kings of Leon. Had never heard of them before, but I figured that if they were touring with the Strokes they had to be good; so I decided to check them out. Turned out to be wise

I heard them mentioned on MTV2 somewhere and something about their name intrigued me. So I listened to some stuff and I loved it! So good to boogie to. So I bought youth and young manhood and that's been me sorted ever since!! |

It seems like The Strokes played a bit of a role in the success of the Kings. The Strokes made KOL gain quite a few fans! I don't think I would even know who KOL was without The Strokes, which is pretty scary. |
