What the hell are the Kings of Leon doing? Music Universe officially believe that they have lost the plot. In a move which will surely further alienate their original fans from their first two albums, Kings of Leon are set to follow the massive commercial sell-out success of 'Only By Night' by releasing a remix album featuring Justin Timberlake. It's sickening.
The remix album will also feature work from Pharrell, Mark Ronson and Linkin Park as well as previously released mixes of 'My Party' by Kenna and Pharell’s fellow Neptune Chad Hugo and Lykke Li’s version of 'Knocked Up'.
Drummer Nathan Followill spoke with Billboard recently about this new disaster. “It’s neat to have these people who we would’ve jumped at the chance to work with ourselves… coming to us before we even get a chance to ask them. It’s amazing to hear your song played by these people who are so creative. Most of the time it takes me two or three listens to even wrap my head around, ‘Oh man, that’s our song…’”
Followill also said that the band has “a good eight or ten ideas kicking around” for their next album. He even joked that the working title for the record is 'Aha Shake… But By Guys That Are a Little Grown-Up and a Little Better at Their Instruments' He goes on to claim that there’s “stuff that sounds like Radiohead. Please. Someone needs to pop your big head very soon. "We’re pretty much to the point now where… we can be experimental and try stuff we would’ve been scared to death to try on the first couple of records. Now we find ourselves being a little more adventurous.” Oh god.
In our heads, Kings of Leon have made two and a half albums. 'Youth and Young Manhood', 'Aha Shake Heartbreak' and 'Because of The Times' possibly. It saddens us to say this but 'Only By The Night' was not the real Kings of Leon and do not listen to it whatever you do. If you have it, burn it, throw it away, give it to your worst enemy.
A live DVD is on the way too. Filmed at London's O2 Arena in July, a fitting locale because, as drummer Nathan Followill told Billboard, "England is really the first place we broke ... We figured what better place to make a live DVD than where the fans have been the craziest for the longest?"
Oh yeah and appraently Followill is set to make a guest appearance as a judge on the tv show 'Iron Chef'. Need we say more.
For the full chat.
