what happend apparently they told the crowd to fuck off and they were only there to hear sex on fire.
christ i'd be shaking everyones hand in the audience and thanking them for making me a millionaire :D
pretty odd but if it's windy the signal to microphone gets lost and the amplification doesn't travel well, but still thats part of festivals and or playing outdoors.
Kings Of Leon's Nathan Followill has slammed the Reading Festival crowd he played a headline show for last night (August 28), describing them as "cold".
The drummer and his band played the first Main Stage headline show of the weekend, but after the set he posted a message on Twitter criticising the fans for giving them a poor reception.
"Reading? What the fuck?" he wrote. "Zero love for the kings. I know it was cold but holy shit, y'all were frozen. I can only hope Leeds is in better form."
Kings Of Leon are set to take to the Main Stage in Leeds tomorrow, while Radiohead will headline tonight.
Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill has had another temper tantrum on stage, this time during the band's headline set at the Reading Festival (Aug 28).
Just a month after Followill had a tizzy-fit on stage at the T in the Park Festival he has once again lashed out.
As with T in the Park he ended the band's angry set by smashing his guitar. The set at Reading had already been marred by poor sound quality.
Despite starting the gig on a high note with some good banter with the crowd, the cold night and an overlong, downbeat set with muffled sound changed the atmosphere for the worse.
Earlier he said to the crowd: "I know I say this every night, and I don't want anyone to think I have a problem, but I want to get drunk and party."
However, he later ranted at festival goers, saying: "I know some of you are sick and tired of the Kings of Leon but we have worked really fucking hard to get here. "
During the set the band played a mix of songs from its debut album 'Youth And Young Manhood', together with newer crowd-pleasers such as 'Sex On Fire' and 'Use Somebody'.
Despite a series of prestigious festival headline sets, this has not been a summer the Followills will care to remember.
As well as the T in the Park incident drummer Nathan Followill accused the American music buying public of having poor taste, earlier this summer.
The drummer said that the US is too obsessed with "hip-hop or kiddy pop" and praised music fans in Britain and Europe for their musical taste.
