Kings of Leon - Recording of Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004) Making Music

[@jtproducer4629]

Early Kings of Leon had something special.

[@kurtistheturtis5331]

All of Kings of Leon’s albums are good I don’t know why everybody hates all the new albums I believe every album They make are special And bring something cool

[@MrKarmapolice97]

Hell yeah they were so raw and visceral and young and hungry

[@robertstanley7314]

Damn right

[@philipbrister]

The first 2 just sound so different.

[@pharaoh8681]

@@kurtistheturtis5331 they just turned too pop for some of us. We loved this raw KoL

[@Goshawtyitsyobday]

i dont think they give their earliest albums as much credit as they deserve. this was literally the best album they have IMO. four kicks, king of the rodeo, like all of the songs were hits to me. i could listen to it over and over

[@jackcross8616]

I think that they would say this is probably their best album?

[@zachdavis6432]

When I first bought the album I did listen to it over and over again. It’s a classic album, probably my number 3 fav of all time.

[@stephenm5327]

The first 3 albums IMO were the best the ever did, Aha Shake Heartbreak, Youth & Young Manhood then Because Of The Times, in that order - Their albums still sound amazing almost two decades later. The entire album track list, one after another was just music I couldn't get enough of.

[@DanielPyle]

Not only their best album but one of the best albums ever by anyone. I bought it the day it came out and have listened to it hundreds (maybe thousands) of times, and I never get even a little bit tired of it. In fact, I'm going to listen again now…

[@Reqnr]

Best album by far

[@livetransmission1949]

I seen them at oxygen 2006 when I was 15, vintage KOL takes me back to growing up, they never sold out they grew up. Real fans are still supporting them whatever they make

[@denachtconducteur7070]

There with you seen them in 2007 during Pukkelpop in Belgium. Could sing along every song and that has never changes I think I was 15 too around that time

[@alfonsorodrigueznieto8078]

I still love kol You're Damm right

[@kaleb9388]

I'm a real fan of their first 3 albums. They used to jam the fuck out. Changed their style to appeal to the masses... the definition of selling out.

[@mollflower725]

@@kaleb9388 agree they were a genius band before they sold out. I’ve never seen them and now never would because I’d hate half the set.

[@joshua7233]

@@kaleb9388 I don't think they necessarily sold out. Selling out is making a conscious decision to change in order to gain more appeal. They grew up. People change, taste changes, and creative approaches change.

[@amjh4lah809]

Their best album imho.❤

[@morrissey07]

This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Every aspect of Aha Shake Heartbreak is perfect to me. It's up there with Panic Movement, Is This It, Up The Bracket and No Wow

[@henryglarsson2635]

Panic movement by the Hiss? Ffs that's a band I'd completely forgotten

[@cobb_thedrummer]

Omg no way! That’s awesome. This is one of the best albums period.

"what have you got" "Kings of Leon CD" "Great well that's useless isn't it" "It's not useless it's a blinding album, it's better than there first one and they came up with it really quickly" "Thanks NME"

[@noelteter3398]

This man right here is the only drummer on KZbin I've heard talk about Nathan Followill's unique drumming style. Great stuff

[@weraswero]

Wow - 20 fuckin years ago... these lads were the soundtrack to my youth

[@TC-vu9wv]

That Milk intro is just soooo fucking good

[@kortneee1120]

Jared's bass is magical for sure

[@wjones284]

This album is straight up brilliant, start to finish. Although it was missed or overlooked by many, it weathers so well that it's destined to be a classic. May just be my favorite all album of all time

[@blakeb.8871]

Straight up I got it tattooed on my neck

[@sineada2810]

Beautiful. Caleb has such a beautiful soul. They are so talented and pure.

[@mollflower725]

He is miserable but his voice is magic!

[@fraserovgy]

Piano part at the end is amazing

[@MrMishal03]

Hands down their best album, and one of the great Rock and Roll albums of all time 💯

[@MDE128]

The first three KOL albums are so gold and some of my all time favorite albums.

[@enzo48]

Peaked with Because of the Times. Still a great band but been way middle of the road since then. The rawness of the first 2 albums was so special

[@MrKarmapolice97]

I always said that after BOTT the got to big sounding too arena rock

One of those albums that just puts you on another level when you are feeling high

[@taracampbell1811]

Still to this day my favourite album ever, milk, four kicks, bucket can't beat any of the songs on it ♥️

[@rebeccahopkins9522]

This is forever my favorite KOL album. Besides being a rock and roll modern masterpiece with absolutely raw incredible music, it means more to me than that. Cause it’s tied to a very specific place, in a very specific period of time, and a very particular person in my life then. A person I loved who loved me. And is now forever gone. We listened to this album all fall together when it came out, all those many years ago, in my car, on his motorcycle, cutting through the night with a world of stars above us. I miss him. I’ll love him forever. Can’t believe it’s been so very long ago now. But he and this album will always have a very special place in my heart. A heart that was broken, and healed crooked. A heart that will never beat the same again.

[@1Lance1984]

The power of music will always mean they are with you. 🤟

Greatest album of all time..... period

[@briankushner1113]

I edited this and put it together with a good friend at the label.

[@Smilga.z]

First four albums were produced with the same ppl. Thats why they feel like follow up of one another, they just have that similar vibe! Then the producers changed and the sound changed and the mood changed. It still great music,but these four albums are masterpieces !

I miss this KOL. 4 great albums then someone shaved a beard and it was fucked.

[@mollflower725]

First three albums were genius and they sounded like no-one but themselves. It’s a shame they tried to be U2 and ruined the magic.

[@palacerevolution2000]

Totally agree; first 3 were really extra special. They had the big hits then, and fell into such a formula in the writing. They sound passionate here in this clip. Caleb talking about the lyrics "not expecting you to understand"; and recording on to tape! They lost much of that. IMO way to early for a band to become jaded. As good as the music still is; the songs, arrangements, individual parts -[ they have become boring on live stage. But I say it again - those first 3 albums don't have one weak moment o them; not one, exciting from start to finish.

[@mollflower725]

@@palacerevolution2000 totally agree - they made three flawless albums and clearly had more to give. Instead they’re now floundering around trying to make something more commercially successful and generic sounding. It is such a shame as their musical genius is rare.

[@Gorgonzola0987]

I feel like this album has been lost due to how poor the bands output became

[@lom218]

I hate when people accuse artists of selling out. You grow or die. You’re so special. Artists should stay poor and never change just for you. My favorite albums are the first few albums but even Sex On Fire, Closer, Use Somebody, Cold in the Desert, Supersoaker were bangers. They kind of sold out in the beginning by wearing lame 70’s clothes n’ shit. These church boys are special. Bob Dylan always gave the finger to everyone once they told him who he was. I respect the hell out of that. Making money is not evil unless you do it like P. Diddy or Harvey Weinstein. These are a group of guys that have continued to play in a band with people they unconditionally love for 20 years, and they keep each other in check. They never sold out. You just want Christmas to be like last year. If they sold out, then the Beatles sold out before they became innovative and that’s bs. You have to adapt and grow. I’m sure Caleb would be dead if he stayed the same wild kid in this doc. Are you a sellout if you work hard, implement new ideas at work, and get promoted to a job where you make a substantial amount of money compared to the hourly slave wage you thought you were stuck with for life?
