Were you guys who said it was shit even at the right concert?

One of my mates that was at it also said it was pretty crap, and the beer throwing crowd weren't helping, so she left early.

I didn't see any more beer throwing than you would usualy get a t a gig. I didn't see the support band (Manchester Orchestra) but I thought the KOL were pretty good - guitar foul-ups aside. I thought the sound was pretty good and, having seen KOL when they only had one album out, I think they've made a lot of progress on the dynamics front. I also liked the little cameras they had on the mic stands etc which displayed their images on screens either side of the stage.

Back to the guitar foul-up - Caleb looked furious especially after they had restarted the song only for his guitar to fuck up again. He did have a back up but there appeared to be something wrong with it as well. I think if it had been me I would have been pretty pissed off as well at being made to look a tit in front of an arena full of people. To be fair though, from where I was standing most people in the crowd seemed not to be that bothered by it and kept clapping and cheering regardless.

Can't say it's something I go to any gig expecting. It doesn't matter how many beers are chucked... one is too many.

I thought it was a poor gig, certainly the worst sound I've ever heard at the AECC. Kings of Leon had no banter whatsoever, and seemingly no interest in the audience, it wouldn't have surprised me if they didn't even know that they were playing in Aberdeen.

The audience was pretty rotten too, I don't think that there was 30 seconds that past without somebody barging past me....

I'm feeling a lot better about having to sell my ticket now. I was rockin' the kareoke mic and singing "boyfriend" by Ashlee Simpson instead. Yas!

I thought musically they were spot on I really enjoyed the gig. They could have done with a bit more banter to make the crowd feel more involved in the show but Caleb is just a man of few words. Not as good as the Foo Fighters gig but excellent nonetheless.

I enjoyed the gig, thought the music was great. I agree with most that there was not enough banter and interaction with the crowd.

Kings of leon are not about banter, if you want banter go to a stand up comedy night instead. Kings of leon played an ace set and never messed about. I thought they were really good, much better than the usual rubbish that plays the aecc
