Members misterstomach Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 I think we're missing the point here. If King of Leon would let the {censored}tard "Nacho" take care of their gear, it's safe to assume they don't give a {censored} about nice gear. Lots of big bands tour with nice {censored}, Kings of Leon is not the standard. I totally forgot about that. I saw that video. That dude was an idiot.

Members captions87 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 What I'd like to know is exactly when the hell does Caleb even use ANY of those {censored}ing rack effects during songs. A POG? Really? I was a really big fan of theirs right up until Only by the Night, which I still bought, and never really heard anything coming from Caleb's riff that sounded anything other than a broken up amp and maybe a boost pedal.

Members big69 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 I liked them better when they had less gear and more hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. HCFX is getting their panties in a bundle because a big band doesn't have massive booteek pedal boards, but their music doesn't really call for that {censored}. They play pretty simple rock n roll stuff with just dirty tube amps, not because they're "blue collar" or whatever, they just use what the music requires.

I think caleb turns the POG on for the chorus of radioactive they use delay quite a bit, octave stuff etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reaganomics! Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 FWIW: I think buying boutique pedals and carrying them around yourself on a Pedal pro is way way way more blue collar than paying Nacho thousands of dollars to lug a rack of your cheap Boss and MXR pedals across the ends of the Earth and having it all tied together with some midi switching system more complex than the computer on the {censored}ing Apollo Capsule.

Members guitardustin Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 he's that {censored}ing edgy I think caleb turns the POG on for the chorus of radioactive they use delay quite a bit, octave stuff etc. You're missing my point, I'm saying what they use works for their music. Yes they have some delay and a POG, but not 3 timefactors 3 pitch factors like some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members big69 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 he's that {censored}ing edgy SO AM I. It's really not that hard to do. I've barely heard Kings Of Leon outside of what I want to hear (their old albums). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members big69 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 I do, but I usually don't process it at all. I don't bother finding out who is playing the random drivel I hear on the radio. Sure, I've probably heard pop band X or Y, but I wouldn't know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members misterstomach Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 So you've never heard a pop song playing anywhere? Do you not go out? i don't go that many places that play pop music. maybe i've heard them, i don't know. what i meant was that i don't know what they sound like. i didn't mean to make it sound like it's this big deal. i've never even heard their name other than being mentioned on here. i stay kind of out of the loop on pop culture most of the time. you'd probably be amazed what i haven't heard.

Members |\|\|\ Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 yeah i dont know if all the pubs we've heard about in england just blast kings of leon, that would really break down us-uk relations i think around here we have bars like b side and slow that wouldnt be caught dead with kings of leon on their jukeboxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were just a bunch of greasy lookin' dudes making solid rock and roll. I liked some of Only By The Night (okay just Closer) but that was definitely the end of them for me.

Members guitardustin Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 Really? I liked them then and still do. The songs are still there, they just have much better production and bigger crowds. Maybe I just dig his voice, kinda sad sounding but still rockin.
