Kings of Leon - Closer Live at Rivoli Ballroom (2010)

[@fiucik1]

I'm not a huge KoL fan, but this song... It's not just a song, it's a state of mind. Best song that was recorded in years

[@tylerdwight1056]

fiucik1 probably the best song ever

[@benjones4389]

Can't say I like kings of Leon but this song is perfection

[@shraviator]

personally my favorite KoL song...incredibly relaxing and ingenious in its simplicity...its one of those songs u would listen to on a long drive on the highway under the moonlight

[@kieransteele5953]

I adore this song so much. It's so powerful.

[@MissDLB66]

I never tire of hearing this song. Just might be my favorite. Caleb and Paolo Nutini...oy, what their voices do to me! =-)

[@ashishpereira]

We have the same taste in music. HMU

[@kevbarron8547]

Probably the best vampire song ever.

[@mindphr33k]

such a unique voice! unsurpassable!

[@MarrowEternal]

When creating a song like this they had to know how brilliant it is

[@typedeaf]

They need to get back to this vibe.

[@siezard4663]

Yep

[@lower_y]

I totally agree. This song and Crawl were by far their best 😉

[@bonjovigirl1117]

One of their best songs ever....!

[@jonathanbolger6173]

The most underrated KOL song, but my personal favourite. So well written, "driven by the strangle of vain..." that's a powerful way to describe lovesick vampires.

[@kyrobbins8696]

I believe the actual song is about heroine addiction.

[@jonathanbolger6173]

@@kyrobbins8696 prob both. But I heard him in an interview discuss the vampire thing, that's why I mention it.

[@paigeelycia2426]

this is genuinely the best performance

[@NinTENDOnow]

his voice is god-given. epic song from an epic family)

[@faresadija7027]

what amazing voice !!

[@Svrckica2693]

THE BEST SONG EVER MADE....! .......!

[@seankelly1010]

They always have mad basslines!

[@dangti6]

Another stunning performance as usual. Saw kol in Sunderland in June and they were amazing!! Best band ever

[@nenaaleksova4877]

you can hear the pain from his voice...

[@22cowboyschamp]

One of rocks under rated bands,great music

[@Letemtalk666]

Matt's guitar on this song is just incredible

[@vaneshas26]

His voice is heaven sent.

[@angelagallacher7328]

Can't believe first time hearing, this shook 😱❤️❤️

[@JoyRockzz]

That voice!

[@ochir87]

What a sound?! The best!!!

[@MrRiddleAW]

This song is written like a poem.

[@Mmmkay10]

MY FAVORITE SONG OF THEIRS BY FAAAAAAR!!

[@gabrielapossato275]

caleb's voice is just so pretty

[@mikevokes2216]

Second best era of his voice. It's much blown out now

[@eliiinaaa1]

That's the best word to describe this song!

[@DehumanizedSoul]

it's even more powerful live

[@natenemetz2716]

great footage of a sincerely passionate performance

[@feeks1984]

This song is unreal xx

[@xxooxx14]

[@daymaravalera3322]

[@katiagr25]

[@artlovesymphony]

[@mostafahamdy392]

i heart KOL

[@4TheLoveOfMusic2011]

Matthew is INCREDIBLY talented!!! Can't wait to see these guys in Charlotte August 5th!!! :)

[@carolinamarin6580]

Todos los arreglos de guitarra y bajo son un grito desesperado. La cancion mas epica de KoL.

[@hoobadoobler]

He's not playing with his teeth. He's literally screaming into his pickups.

[@pawcio247]

Thats true. He is screaming into neck pup with delay turned on. That is something I havent seen since I ve started playing guitar.

[@Bee-b7f]

I read this as live at the ravioli ballroom and was thinking dang that's an awesome name for a concert arena haha

[@jonahladd818]

Legends....

[@thezielak23]

Caleb has the best voice

[@lukavg]

woow!

[@IbanezGuitarGuy15]

What worked for me was turning distortion way up, resting my cheek lightly against the strings while my mouth face the bridge of the guitar. Then scream and try to aim for as much feedback as possible (stand close to the amp etc.)

[@FairyMomma03]

It's just a reverb pedal, but makes for a really cool effect. It has to be just perfect or it will sound different for every performance. Saw them here in Austin and it was just amazing.

[@harperonline]

I second that!

[@itsjohnshaun]

Wow this is a raw version

[@alan6448]

Почему так мало просмотров? Только я посмотрела 10000 раз за 8 лет

[@lulu2026]

Realmente dá uma vontade...

[@ludmilaarruda]

SAI DA MINHA CABEÇA MUSICA! hahaha sai não! ai linda demaaaaaaais

[@kolmars1]

Caleb looks so good here.

[@MultiM1chelle]

I like how he's screaming into his guitar to create a unique sound at the beginning.

[@medusyn]

Luv them!!!! 0x0

[@ivormassiveone]

Right on brother!! They'll struggle to better this one.

[@laballetta]

Damn it!

[@skariz7]

He's screaming/howling into the pickups, there are a few videos of it somewhere :)

[@samuelPxd]

Que musica foda!

[@KillerSockPuppet]

The best KOL song by a country mile IMHO.

[@susannelohmann7313]

meine hr.follow so gute musik und so traurig..wieso...............

[@BlackBearTexas]

totally! I've always wondered that! haha

[@shraviator]

if u had to pick a favorite instrument in this song...what would it be?

[@omerisik1492]

long live KOL

[@jl9307]

Chicago luv this n 2023

[@scarface1999]

Cold Desert is up there.

[@Spqrcrew]

El efecto normalmente es a través de un pedal de distorsión (al menos no se le ve una pua de casco) y acoples con el ampli y en partes tocando con los dientes a lo Jimmy Hendrix)

[@edward.ramirezfpqp]

Anyone know what it is he does to the guitar to get that sound? Is he blowing the strings up against the pick-up?

[@MrMattfox]

nice intro!!!

[@robertdunsmuir2549]

Does anyone know what the lead guitarist (Matt) is doing to create that sound at the beginning?

[@ooziewoo]

@luv4th4eva reckon its the sexiest voice of our time

[@petarmajstor911]

is this live xD sound so good

[@saltysaluteARG]

3:28 maybe it's the best feelin' ever.

[@danijelambrozic]

Voice...

[@sgonzo691]

@kmitzui its actually done alot, claudio sanchez for example

[@miroBGgsi]

Caleb's voice!

[@kylet86]

Jimi Hendrix would be proud of the dental guitar playing. ...lol

[@iRatchet99]

It's actually him shouting into the pickups which makes those screaming sounds

[@MaxRiley]

He's not playing with his teeth though. He's actually "screaming" into the pickup.

[@MAJORSNODGRASS]

Didn't quite catch what the song was about?

[@sgonzo691]

@4TheLoveOfMusic2011 its actually done alot, claudio sanchez for example

[@thedogfromthetoon1215]

Great song, great performance 👍 Funny never noticed before but Jared looking a bit chubby here.

[@pavelmerino3724]

Disculpen mi ignorancia, alguien me podría decir ¿como Matthew hace ese efecto con su guitarra?

[@SerendipitousSean]

some pickups on guitars, if you were to shout or hum into them would pick it up and send it out through the amp he does this and then whacks on some heavy reverb n delay outcomes the guitar sound!

[@TheSuperMouton]

Drums !

[@columbo6661666]

whats he doing when he puts the guitar up to his face?

[@sloanhouseholder6169]

when he blows on that guitar that shit gives me chlls reminds me of my ex she called this creepy lol i said of course it is good music is dark the lyrics mean something

[@pingoJK]

Can someone tell me what he's doing to his guitar at 0:28 :)

[@individualofficial]

Has anyone ever wondered just who's playing the bass. Like the real bass not the melody

[@quentingarreau2568]

That kind of question creates insomnia. I'd say all of the instruments. =)

[@youngnicolette]

this song is an aphrodisiac ....

[@TheTrinisweetheart]

i get so damn turned on by this man voice..awesome band awesome music...KOL forever

[@stevemartin171]

I've trying screaming into my guitar pickups like that and cannot create ANY sound, much less what (Nathan?) is getting. Anyone know how he does that?

[@boyleadfoot5369]

Hollow/semi-hollow body guitar

[@Letemtalk666]

I dont understand, how does he do that ?

[@edward.ramirezfpqp]

Really? Ive never heard of that...and I'm guessing he adds another effect to that right? Like with a pedal.

[@vagyokazsombor]

with a fuckton of distorsion and reverb

[@luv4th4eva]

His voice is so fn sexy!

[@andreaaskim1]

yes ... so hot

[@angelacosta9049]

Guitar!

[@KokoReekO1]

Matthew's Guitar

[@MAYSKORN]

[@Rickk02]

No he's screaming in his pickups ;) With a bunch of distortion you can get that sound.. So i've been told..

[@FairyMomma03]

No, he is humming into the strings.
