The Hoosiers: 'Boring Kings Of Leon Need To Learn To Dance'

More Kings of Leon

The Hoosiers have accused Kings of Leon of failing to put on a show during their headlining appearance at the Glastonbury Festival last month.

Despite receiving universal critical acclaim for their performance at the festival, Hoosiers frontman Irwin Sparkes thinks the band could have danced a bit.

“I saw them at Glasto and they are good but they just don’t put on much of a show,” he told the Daily Star.

“You want something personal because you know they do it every day – you want them to make it feel special for you.

“We did some dances on stage at Glastonbury. We like to put on a bit of a show.”

The Hoosiers rocked of course!!! They are right, at least they are making some contribution to new music, unlike the kings of Leon - they have nothing new or intersting. Nothing comes close to goodbye mr A or "Worried about Ray" <-- my fave song.

Ed Wembridge... you are a wanker.

I was off my tits on MDMA and Acid when the Kings were on, so I fucking loved it!

Hoosiers? What a bunch of wankers.
~ by Tom 7/17/2008
HAHAHAHA, this coming from the shittest band of the year?
~ by Christo 7/17/2008
Goodbye Mr A a new and interesting contribution to music? Ed were you licking your lips as much as Barry? Mike... spot on.

yea i have to agree that the hoosiers really are quite shite,KOL are awesome and why the fuck would we need them to dance? its about the music not the fucking side show.

Sorry if you guys wouldn\'t know a good song if it slapped you in the face, the Hoosiers rock!!!!

Big Dogs cock
~ by Steve 7/17/2008
Cock you Mike, you know nothing, Hoosiers piss all over Kings of leon\'s chips and you know it. show me a better album than the hoosier\'s and i\'ll eat my piano. xx
~ by Ed 7/17/2008
Steve is not amused - we had a blinder at KOL
~ by Steve 7/17/2008
As a gay man, the hoosiers target people like me, but i just prefer kings of leon, they really rawk!! Its like an albums worth of the top gear theme - what more could you want?
~ by Mike 7/17/2008
Ed knows where it’s at. Kings of Lame are lame. They write boring songs with no guitars. Hoosiers at least play their own instruments and write pop songs that will stand the test of time. TIME! In 29 years they will in the rock and roll hall of fame.
~ by HoosierDaddy 7/17/2008
What a joke!! I agree with Mike...Ed Wembridge you are a wanker-to say that The Bucket, Milk,Charmer,Mollys Chambers etc doesnt come close to any of the gay-crap-pop written by the Who?-siers is a serious crime to music...who says you’ve got to dance around like a tit to put on show??-let the music speak for itself!! KOL rock!
~ by Steve 7/17/2008
83% to the Kings? I think theres your answer Hoosiers.... what a bunch of pricks!
~ by Johanna 7/17/2008
I’m utterly gobsmacked. Good bye Mr A and Worried about Ray are probably the shittest songs to ever pollute our airwaves...EVER! Ed Wembridge, you total tosspot. The Hoosiers are not even worthy of the steam off Calebs Glastonbury dump.
~ by Jen Manchester 7/17/2008
HoosierDaddy you must be listening to a different band!? No guitars???? er??.......tosser!!!
~ by steve 7/17/2008
Hold up - the second Mike comment isn’t by me - I wouldn’’t use words like rawk or refer to Top Gear. Ed Wembridge... I really know you’’re a wanker now!
~ by The real Mike! 7/17/2008
Who is pretending to be me? Everyone the real Mike is a tosser, don’t trust him. I think we all know you rae the wanker here real Mike"
~ by Mike 7/17/2008
You guys would all be less agressive if you listened to some Hoosiers and lightened up. Just accept that they are a better band and enjoy the music!
~ by Ed Wembridge 7/17/2008
LMFAO. HoosierDaddy has absolutley no idea what he is talking about. First mistake: They write boring songs with no guitars. Hoosiers at least play their own instruments Erm KOL use guitars and all play their own instruments (did you not see Glasto? if not then how can you judge?) second mistake: "write pop songs that will stand the test of time. TIME! In 29 years they will in the rock and roll hall of fame." bahahah yeh ok.

What a fucking joke, at least KOL don\'t have to dress up like fucking clowns to get peoples attention!

~ by Andy - Leeds 7/24/2008

~ by me 7/27/2008
too right!! wankers and "shittest band of the year" pretty much sums it up!! omg who the fuck are they to say anything about kings of leon??? absolute tossers
~ by ciara 7/31/2008
kings of leon or one of the best bands around they don’t need to do stupid dancing to put on a show, their music does the talking and calebs moves every so often is enough for me!!! the hoosiers are crap and rock and roll fame they aren’’t even rock and roll their pop!!! and justy look at the vote to see who is better kings of leon 86% odd to the hoosiers like 6% that says it all!!
~ by kol7 8/3/2008
oh my god? the hoosiers are total shit,how dare that ben stiller neandrethal lookalike even dare to pipe up and think that his electric light orchestra ripp off merchants are even in the same league as the kings of leon.im completely baffled by this pricks ridiculous ego??and i would also like to agree with mike and confirm that mr ed wembridge is in fact a WANKER!!.how many hoosiers gigs sell out in a matter of minutes? im guessing none..hope there tourbus crashes and they all burn
~ by mark campbell 8/5/2008
fucking christ how could he say that? id rather be watching the band and how involved they are in the music then having to watch a bunch of shitty dancers dressed up wafting around the stage. the Kings dont need any extra sparkle on stage, they ooze it themselves.

~ by mtstchloe 8/21/2008
theyre such weirdos. he’s a little midget that sings (well, he can’’t even sing tbh) like a mouse on helium. what a prat. long live the kings ;]
~ by Jared 8/22/2008
Actually I know the Hoosiers keep saying they rate the Kings of Leon so I don’t think this is quite right.
~ by Barry, Chester 8/26/2008
no guitars what the fuck are u on?? are u fucking deaf and blind? the hoosiers don’t have shit on kings of leon, can’’t believe there’’s even an actual debate on this!!
~ by ciara 8/30/2008
the hoosiers suck!!!!
~ by dehoosiers 8/30/2008
JEALOUSY!
~ by oneword 8/30/2008
the hoosiers album is amazin tho ive not heard all of kol's new album but sex on fire is great
~ by hoosiersrock 12/12/2008
The guy wasn't dissing KOL, he was just making a valid suggestion to improve their live show. But I guess you can't argue with the annoying diehards.
