Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill has criticised the music taste of the citizens of their home country, saying that US types are too into their rap and teeny pop acts. It's not all negative, though, he praises UK audiences for actually liking music.
The musician says this: "Most music gets ignored in the States unless it's hip-hop or Hannah Montana or Disney music like the Jonas Brothers. Kiddy pop or hip-hop, that's pretty much what America is. You may turn on the radio and you hear maybe one out of 10 songs that you'd consider decent. The UK is more open to all kinds of music. The fans are just insane in the UK - they are music lovers. You have kids going to shows to see the bands, not going to a show to be seen there".
