With age, kids, and the cruel stress of the world smashing down on us all it is easy to see why our bodies stop looking as pristine as they did when we were young.
Caleb Followill says his lyrics on the new Kings of Leon album When You See Yourself are the most personal in the band’s career.
He told The Sun, “I try to write and convince myself that I’m writing about something else, but a vein of my personal life flows through these songs.”
The album was going to be released last year to go along with the band’s tour, but since that didn’t happen Caleb says they used that time to really examine the songs and critique little things they wanted to hear.
The new album “When You See Yourself” will be out on March 5th.

Suspect 208, the band featuring the sons of Slash, Robert Trujillo of Metallica and the late Scott Weiland, are already looking for a new singer.
Noah Weiland was the singer on the band’s first two tracks, which came out last year. However, on Friday they posted a note on Instagram that said, “Suspect 208. Singer Wanted. Requirements: Age 18 to 24, Must live in LA. To submit your audition: DM us your cover of ‘Black Dog’ by Led Zeppelin. List 3 musical influences.”
Besides Weiland, the band’s lineup included drummer London Hudson (son of Slash), bassist Tye Trujillo (son of Robert Trujillo), and guitarist Niki Tsangaris.
Saw Foo Fighters on Austin City Limits last night. They’ve been doing archival footage lately and this is probably one of my favorite renditions of “My Hero” from a performance they did back in 2008. Check it out! Looking forward to the band releasing Medicine at Midnight on February 5th… — [eric]
For the first time in five very long years (minus the acoustic taste of ‘Endlessly‘) there is new Chevelle for our earholes!! Their ninth full length will be not be country and not titled ‘Mother Earth’ as suggested by the band at Lollapalooza 2019 (remember festivals?!) It will be called ‘Niratias’ and will be unleashed upon us on March 5. Check out the first offering clocking in at a scathing 5:57: ‘Self Destructor’ <3 Lauren
Lyrics:
How many ways
And how many words
Safe in your lies but can’t ignore it all
You aren’t at all right
Ten million other lives
Well it’s to much to lose
It’s time, or self destruct
They don’t care what the science says
They don’t want to talk
Cuz this time ready or not, This time you fought us all
Cuz time you aren’t at all right, You aren’t at all right
Ten million other lives
How can we save
And how in this time
The lessons we learned
To rescue the mind before it’s gone
Well it’s to much to lose
It’s time, or self destruct
They don’t care what the science says
They don’t want to talk
Well it’s to much to lose
It’s time, or self destruct
They don’t care what the science says
They don’t want to talk
Cuz this time ready or not, This time you fought us all
Cuz this time your doubling down,
This time you’ll work alone
Cuz time you aren’t at all,
Right
It’s like war x2
Bite your tongue this Nosferatu ways
It’s minimal these stomach knots
This conscious can’t hide from his soul
Till now
It’s like war x5
Go Fight yourself
Cuz this ready or not, this time you fought us all
Cuz this time your doubling down this time
You aren’t at all, right
You aren’t at all, right
Guns n’ Roses borrowed Dave Grohl‘s rock throne after Axl Rose broke his foot when the reunited group was about to tour in 2016. And Grohl says he got a great guitar as a thank-you.
Grohl had the throne built-in 2015 so he could still do Foo Fighters shows after breaking his leg in Sweden, and he tells Classic Rock, “So Axl took it out with Guns n’ Roses, then he took it out with AC/DC, and then all of a sudden I became the guy you come to if you break a limb on tour, like Thrones R Us.”
After the throne was returned, Axl wanted to give Grohl a very special thank-you gift. “He had Slash go pick me a guitar. And he picked me an early-’60s Gibson ES 335 Dot, which to this day is the nicest guitar I have ever played in my life. It was an incredibly kind and classy gesture, and I was very appreciative.”
