From the article.
The first offense: The band had security reserve a row of showers just for them. Writes Cato:
Out of nowhere came a very large man. “Reserved for the Kings of Leon” he said, “and so is this half of the artist toilets”. It’s hard to believe that someone actually phoned their agent and said “Listen I know that Paul Weller, Kasabian, Florence, Stereophonics, Groove Armada + co are all sharing the artist village and facilities, but we require that you put a fence down the middle of the toilets and showers and put a large man there to keep them just for us.” But somebody did.
The second offense: Clearing pathways so Kings Of Leon and their entourage can drive around unimpeded:
…4 blacked out Range Rovers came round the corner. One for each King of Leon. As it became clear what all this presidential fuss was about, tom gave the worldwide one fingered sign of dislike as the cars went past. The last one stopped. The drummer got out making “come on then” type gestures. “Come on then” Tom gestured back. Instead, the drummer went back behind his bodyguards, and, pointing towards Tom, Paul Weller, and the various other musicians who were pinned by the side of the road, said “I want them removed.”
Cato says the promoter came and smoothed over the impeding fight. But after their show (Groove Armada headlined a different stage), they were once again asked to pull over in their shuttle van to and from the artist area so that Kings Of Leon could pass through. They exited their bus to “salute” KOL, who, according to Cato, once again left in four separate vehicles. He also says that other artists sent the band two cases of champagne for standing up to the Kings.
Heh, I thought it was an improved version, raising quality to just "fucking awful", as opposed to "take my ears, lord, this is fucking, hideously awful."

Wow... your appreciation for Nickelback, along with that gay purple hat give me a legitimate reason to question your sanity / sexuality.
OK, so Fly by Night sucked, and Because of the Times wasn't alot better, but they still get credit, in my opinion, for Aha Shake Heartbreak and Young Manhood. Just because they sold out in 2008 doesn't mean the music before hand wasn't good. And to be honest, I would rather have to endure Sex on Fire and Use Somebody 10 times a day each, then be forced to listen to Seven Nation Army, or The Denial Twist one time.
I saw them at bonnaroo on Friday, they were by no means great, but I enjoyed the show. I think I actually enjoyed Metallica's Friday Night Set from 08 more (And I broke my fucking ankle at that show), but I still enjoyed seeing Kings of Leon. I seriously doubt I will see them again, unless: A; they are at a music fest and nothing else is happening, B; they redeem themselves with a good album... the former of which would be more a likely situation.

sarcasm... All I can come up with is that Kermit loves Ms Piggy, and that this is funny to .50. The gif doesn't really suggest anything else.
Perhaps you are fuzzy with the meaning of sarcasm. Sarcasm is most often defined as witty language used to convey insults or scorn. Maybe you intended to quote something else. It's OK, you can try again if you like.
The idea of listening to Sex on Fire 10 times in a given day gives me hot flashes, I'm not sure if you should really be questioning Bisohp's sexuality with your taste for QoL

On the real, though? Damn, this is the most heat I've ever gotten on this board... for making a joke about how much KOL suck and wearing a ridiculous hat, of all things, lol.
@ Bishop - That was a joke. While appreciation of Nickleback w/o a pair of ta-tas does usually indicate that someone is atleast "metro", the hat is something only a heterosexual, whom is very confident of his sexuality would wear. I have a couple of gay friends, and neither of them would get caught dead wearing that.
@ Bandeto - I didn't say I would enjoy listening to Sex on Fire. I did actually enjoy listening to Use Somebody the first few times I heard it, but hearing it every 90 minutes on the radio ruined it for me.
@ nodepression - Can you provide further insight to the GIF he posted, or better define sarcasm?
I was a lurker on this forum early this year to read the clues and some of the explainations. Recently, I returned to find topics overflowing with complaints.
Complaints about the heat... obviously Ashley Capps is fully at fault on this one.
Complaints about the lack or, or quality of water... You can buy great tasting drinking water by the gallon at walmart, and its suprisingly cheap, this way, you always have cold, refreshing drinking water at your camp.
Complaints about the wait to get in or out... Get use to it please, it will always be this way. There aren't that many roads that connect bonnaroo to the outside world, and when 50,000+ show up in the span of 10 hours, there is bound to be traffic.
Complaints about the porta potties... Been in way worse situations then bonnaroo. Once, in a boyscout camp, and a fukkin snake came out of the toliet seat while I was dropping a heavy.
Complaints about general orginatizion... Look at bonnaroo, then look at woodstock 99, and afterwards, try complaining about bonnaroo not being organizied.
Complaints about theift... If you don't understand that you should lock up your valuables in your car, out of sight, then please don't come to bonnaroo, and whatever you do, DO NOT procreate.
Complaints about your (insert illegal substance here) being taken... Try being sober. Its awesome being able to remember off hand what happened yesterday. Once you have been sober long enough, you figure out that life is just as enjoyable, if not better, without substance abuse.
Complaints about the lineup... If you don't like the lineup, dont come. Its simple. I didnt like the lineup for 2009 (never been a huge fan of the boss, and I hate phish), so I didn't go. It really is simple.
Same goes with this entire thread. You guys were so discontent with KoL that you bragged about something as trivial as eating a sandwich instead of seeing them in concert. I mean, if your so possessed with the idea of showing your discontent, you should have do so in a much more organized and interesting way. Perhaps bombing the stage with urine filled water bottles, or printing and wearing tshirts that said "Sex on Fire usually means clamidia". If nothing else, atleast it would have been funny.

@ Bandeto - Its cool, you dont have to agree with anything I say. I still wish I knew what that GIF was suppose to mean.
@ Bishop - I dont think I asked a question just now, and im almost positive I never asked a question about your hat. I may be confused though, its been a long ass week of work, and thanks to work, I missed the Drive By Truckers show last night. Possibly the last decent concert until November
My "support" of NB and my gay purple hat "reason to question your sanity / sexuality."
" the hat is something only a heterosexual, whom is very confident of his sexuality would wear. I have a couple of gay friends, and neither of them would get caught dead wearing that."
For the sake of argument and simplicity - I'm 50, your Kermit listening to Use Somebody. I question my faith in all mankind and then realize, it's only one "green" little man (note: as a production sound dude; green is often used to mean new, unknowing... like you probably didn't know I stole borrowed that GIF from NoD)
...and then I proceed to drive out with 'Seven Nation Army' bumping, hard to tell in its current pixelated form
all those party favors and dirty porta pottas and being mad at Ashley Capps for the great wrongs she's done to me, must have gotten in the way of my clarity
