Kings of Leon - Supersoaker

[lowdowner]

I was watching Jules Holland earlier in the week and Kings of Leon were on promoting their new single 'Supersoaker'. I'm not really a KoL fan, but am I the only one to think that the bass line was kinda groovy? It may make me go and listen to more of their stuff - any other KoL bass lines I should check out?

I watched it and thought that the bassline was the only part of the song I liked. I used to like KOL in their earlier days but have gone off them now. Probably due to the popularity of Sex on Fire, which is ridiculous really, as I love the song. It`s just that everything else fades in comparison to that for me.

Lets hope the hoards of pub bands take it up soon..... Only so many times you can listen to SOF.

The first two albums are brilliant to jam along to. The third is good. The rest aren't so good....they got too polished! Personal favourite of mine is Slow Night So Long....ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba..........

"ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba.........."

Kings of the Rodeo is one of the best American rock songs in years.

The Bass Player in the band has got better and better, clearly listens to Kim Deal, sounds like genuine rock.

I like 'Family Tree' off the new KoL album too.

I used to love them when they were raw, hairy wild men. Now they are all ponsed up with haircuts and designer jackets. Also, all their music sounds like it's been fed through a planer, there's no edge anymore. It sounds to me like all their songs were cowritten with Bryan Adams. It has that popular touch but no soul whereas before it was the exact opposite. f***in record companies.............

Oh yeah..... My favourite is 'the bucket' predictable, I know, but what a song.

For all I actually loathe kol and what they stand for, the bass sound is awesome in this song. I did notice that live, he seems to be using an audio kitchen rig- somewhat similar to Alex James at the final blur gig. Loved that sound too! This could be expensive!!!

I think it's a great song, love the bass line and sound. His playing has come along way. I also recommend watching the Talihina Sky documentary, it's brilliant, especially Uncle Cleo!
