A counterview... KoL - hardly kings

Business Live says that while the music was technically superb, the concert at FNB stadium last weekend was "nothing to write home about".

It says that there was no difference between going to the live performance and watching a DVD of the group in the comfort of your own home. The band is berated for having no stage personality, for being uninterested and distant.

Compared with the recent live shows such as U2, Coldplay, Metallica and 30 Seconds to Mars, says the Business Live report, the Kings of Leon show was bland, dull and boring.
