I do believe at 1 point, the guy in the blue shirt was going to take his shirt off. :-\
In their defense, it sounds like its appropriate to cancel a tour if the lead singer is suffering from a) exhaustion/vocal issues or b) substance abuse issues...I would hate to pay a ton of money for a lackluster show...it doesn't sound like their typical primadona BS

The dude in the blue shirt showed a lot of restraint when the chick in the pink & white shirt was swinging at him. She is lucky she didnt get snookied.

I do hope that they get help
HOWEVER
Everything with this band the last few years has been a calculated move to make them seem like this ginormous pop band. Certainly bigger than they really are. I hate to say the timing is suspect, but with the deat of Amy Winehouse, this just screams to me that it's not real. Call me cynical. I used to love these guys, a lot, but less than stellar music, and primadonna attitudes have ruined them for me.

I agree with almost all of this...I doubt it is untrue bc they have detailed there history of excesses without restraint in the past...but then again who knows?
Has anyone seen the trailer for their documentary? I think this is the last nail in the coffin for me...they really come off as ultimate douches
TALIHINA SKY: THE STORY OF KINGS OF LEON TRAILER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL81OT7Uhtk#ws)
This sucks! We just bought an extra ticket YESTERDAY for Hartford so that our son could go with us to his second concert. I got a confirmatory email this evening that the event is canceled. I hope that Band of Horses (the main reason we got tickets in the first place) pick up some dates at some nearby venues.

They (boh) just posted on Facebook that they are weighing their options.
I think his jeans are so tight that they're obstructing the passage of air to his vocal chords, rendering him unable to sing..

I know it sounds lame but, for what its worth, I know where talihina is. It's pretty much a small town that is ran by my native Choctaw tribe.

If your sex parts are on fire, you should consult a doctor at once as this could be a sign a bigger problems. Now if your sex is on fire, remove your shirt for the world to enjoy.

I know a ton about music and have been going to live shows since 1979. I am pretty sure he is speaking metaphorically; I wouldn't worry about it. I have written a ton of songs (and 3 raps) and I believe when he says fire he is implying heat, not a real fire. Friction, maybe? Passion? Some raw emotion that makes to persperiaer sweat? If you're not an artist, like me and Kaleb, you ain't gonna get it :-\

Agree agree agree. Very glad to see I'm not the only skeptic in town.
perhaps the most NON rock and roll move ever at the 15 second mark followed by the most typical rock and roll rhetoric on the planet. Holy shit what happened to these guys?

Caleb is the newest member of degeneration x, apperantly.
I've come to the conclusion that even if their next album is the best thing they've ever done, im still going to hate this band. Kind of sad really.
They used to be so good. Shame really.

It aired on a couple of my music TV channels when it came out, but I haven't seen it in rotation in quite some time. Methinks it was pulled for content and all-round badness.
