Kings Of Leon Cancel St. Louis Concert Because Of Bird Shit

I haven’t been posting often because I am a busy guy, but I need to write this on my blog so that I will forever be reminded of the respect that I have lost for Kings Of Leon.  KOL has been my favorite band for some time now, I love the music, and it makes me feel good and I think they have a disgusting  amount of talent. One of the best bands to come out in years.  I didn’t think that I was going to be able to get to the show but last minute, I found a real nice dude on craigslist that sold me 3 tickets for the pit at a really low price, and I was totally psyched.

So we got to the show to find out that it was 100 degrees with 100% humidity, and they were charging $5 for a bottle of water. BS.  It was my first time to the venue and to my amazement, they build the venue in such a way that the sun set’s right onto the stage which I think is absolutely asinine for St. Louis because of how disgusting and hot it gets here.  That didn’t stop us. We waited in the pit for 3 hours, through 2 bands.  The first band was pretty awesome, new and refreshing and the second SUCKED and was completely torturous.

During the first 2 sets, we could clearly see that bird crap was falling from the ceiling onto the bassist’s of both bands.  Pretty nasty I know but what are you going to do about a nest of baby birds? Maybe the venue should have put in preventative spikes to stop them from nesting up there but regardless, it was happening so they resolved it by moving the bassist’s a few feet to the left, and that was the end of it.. we thought.

Finally, KOL comes out and we all went crazy, it made me feel like the 3 hours spend soaked in my clothes was worth it.  3 songs in we see bassist Jared Followill got shit on his shoulder from one of the birds, and he stormed off of the stage.  Then the entire band followed him off and nobody is writing about this because they didn’t see it, but I did and I will tell you right now that Caleb was pissed off about Jared’s  choice to cancel the show. I could see Caleb arguing with a look of WTF on his face, and I am only hoping that it was Jared he was arguing with about being a pussy and not taking sides with his asshole brother instead.

Anyway. I have been to over 500 concerts and thought I had seen it all but this one tops it all. I’ve seen bands play in the rain, snow, blood, mud and the list goes on.  One pussy gets baby bird crap on his shoulder and runs off stage crying.  Spoiled pussies. That is what they are.

I will always love the music but these guys have lost my respect.  I will never buy another ticket to see them again, and I will never pay for another album.  I only wish that a riot had started, if it meant getting arrested I’d have gladly stormed the stage and destroyed their entire set and all of their instruments.

FUCK YOU Queens of Leon.

Here is a video someone took of this happening.  If you listen to about 35 seconds in you will hear me yell FUCK YOU.  I was so mad.
