So I'm a sad sack that has to watch things on tv.... but please does anyone know why the set was cut short on BBC3? The official reason was that they were unhappy with the set

I think that was the real reason. I don't think they were happy with the crowd but there will probably be a ton of things written about it after tonight so lets just wait and see what gets said.

I really feel for the band! The crowd must have been dead for them!!! It must be awful for the real fans in the crowd to be hearing them asking for some support!!! What the hell was wrong with them? ?

The Crowd Did Sound Dead; Until sex on fire; Then they kinda went dead again; and Caleb Didn't look happy about that.

Excuse my language but that crowd SUCKED! esp' for a Reading crowd. fucking hell!! How cheap could they make them feel. Sex On Fire made me go cold, seriously. They suddenly found their voice for that song. It was just lame. Really bad. It started off so well, the band really put the effort into creating a great show for their audience - the gibson was back and the fan songs were there, Red Morning Light ( ) Fans, Revelry, i found it really emotional, i felt loved and appreciated, i was actually crying for most of the first 20 minutes, i've been crying a lot recently but anyways - so when the crowd isn't there for them it feels like some awful relative has turned up for this big bash and pissed in the koi pond! I really hope everyone is ok cause it did not look like they were having a good time up there, i just hope they're not tearing chunks of flesh and hair out of one another. I honestly thought Caleb was gonna proper smack Matt after Slow Night, So Long, i've never seen Matt do that before or ever seen how much it seems to hang by a thread for them. I'm really not surprised they cut the coverage short, Jared and Nathan were, it seemed, just avoiding getting in Caleb's way. Nathan looked like he was still on the xanex, how relaxed can one person be playing in front of that many people. He looked kinda cute, so did his gf, fiancee, was she the one wearing the shorts? I've no idea. but hey, you may be feeling like you had a not so fantastic gig tonight Kings of Leon but at least no one's pissed in your koi pond and you're all very cute. There you go have some encouraging comforting words from a fan. awh i bet you feel better now. I'm so useful <--- that's tongue in cheek btw i don't actually think telling them they're cute and that no one has relieved themselves in their koi pond.. if they even have one. it's tongue in cheek! Brilliant gig up to SoF, Closer sounded amazing and Be Somebody! Caleb's got to own Sex on Fire, it really did make me go cold hearing that crowd but it's their song, he can't let the crowd throw it back in his face like that, he's got to own it under all circumstances, no matter what. Love KoL xxxx

^^yup you hit the nail on the head whiskers. SOF just killed it It really upset me to see caleb so upset before it..i was like "why play the fucking thing if you know it pisses you off". Matt looked really fucked off at caleb at one point too, and there was no interaction between any of them and at times they just looked bored.(i nearly died when i saw matty during SNSL) I know people are blaming the crowd but at the end of the day these guys came from playing small clubs where they had to win a crowd over..if they cant get a buzz from standing in front of that kind of crowd then i feel really really bad for them and they obv need to take a break and get back into the groove and rediscover the music that they want to play.

I can handle if he was being bored. It just doesn't sound like Matt to get angry. I read on the official forum that someone said they thought it was Caleb's guitar, not Matt's...i'm praying that was true but then I feel bad for Caleb too, but at least I can believe that.

I think caleb needs to realise you cant just expect everyone to know and love EVERYTHING. When I saw them in Cardiff I felt like we (the crowd) were putting them out or making them be somewhere they didnt want to be. Is that what Reading felt? Still love them though!

If you think that it was only a year ago or so that at every gig every single person knew every word to every song - and sang it. Perhaps it's a bit of a comedown. I've got a solution - but they probably wouldn't buy it - go back to smaller gigs and advertise them through here.......then they wouldn't have to be disappointed in the crowd

Just watched BBC SNSL - KOL could'nt have done less obviously not into it at all (maybe they just hadn't woken up)- matt just leaning back having a fag. The crowd sang revelry sounding good
Also just talked to someone who watched from the barrier - they couldn't believe how bitchy they were being saying the were 'going to rush thru the next few songs to get it over with' and caleb saying that he was sick of KOL aswell . smashed guitar and amps - Caleb having trouble with sound again - terrible attitude to people watching apparently
Also they were being really shitty to camera men to stop them filming during the last bits
