Nashville's own arena-rocking
foodiesKings of Leon appeared as the musical guests on this weekend's John Goodman-hosted episode of Saturday Night Live, where they performed "Temple" (watch above) and "Wait for Me" (watch after the jump) from this year's Mechanical Bull.
As Spin puts it, "accomplished professionalism is the watchword" for KOL's Bull. I take the point — the record is mature and consistent. But is Spin perhaps a touch too forgiving when they describe the performance as "expertly straightforward, almost as if consciously avoiding dramatic gestures"? Were the Kings avoiding dramatic gestures, or is that sort of just the way they perform? Either way, they certainly played well, even if both of the songs in question are a touch less exciting to me than the lead-off Mechanical Bull single "Supersoaker." But what do you you think?
Kings of Leon will play Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Feb. 7, and tickets are on sale now.
