I was at a bar wearing my Kings Of Leon t-shirt and a bunch of drunken buffoons in theirs 50s with heavy hick accents said that the Kings Of Leon sucked. Then I said, "No way! They're getting a lot of airplay on the radio and even Miley Cyrus likes them... they're real southern rock!" and they all started guffawing and ROFL'ing at me. This old hippie with a long white beard and ponytail told the bartender to play some Allman Brothers to show "this kid what real southern rock is". Needless to say I hated it! The guitar playing is boring, the songs are WAY too long and the singer sounds like a redneck.. for real southern rock check out Kings Of Leon, Kid Rock, Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift!
