It all started with Aha Shake Heartbreak<\/i>. I downloaded songs from the album, burned them to a CD and played them for my sis.<\/p>\n

“It’s his voice!, I love it!”<\/i>\u00a0 I clearly remember her saying like it was yesterday, but the year was 2005, and Kings of Leon<\/a> had yet to make it big with their commercially popular hit “Sex on Fire<\/i>“.<\/p>\n

In addition to the lead singer’s amazing voice, what drew me to the band was the fact it consisted of three brothers and a cousin.<\/p>\n

I recall the stories of the lead singer getting birdshat in his mouth during a concert and walking off stage. Temperamental or not, I wanted to see them live for myself and come to my own conclusion. That happened last Saturday night at Sleep Train in Chula Vista.<\/p>\n

Amazing lighting and technicals, with surprisingly dark and somewhat disturbing images on the massive screen behind them. I appreciated that they stuck to their artistic vision of what they wanted to portray in their music. One shouldn’t compromise to appease the masses.<\/p>\n

The Mechanical Bull tour show was nothing short of spectacular. Enjoy clips of the show, with a couple songs from the new album.
