WITH OVER 20 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD WORLDWIDE.

THEIR NEW ALBUM "WHEN YOU SEE YOURSELF" IS OUT NOW AND IT'S

FANTASTIC.

PLEASE WELCOME THE ALWAYS COOL, KINGS OF LEON!

IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!

THANKS FOR BEING HERE.

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL ZOOMING IN FROM DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

JARED, HOW OFTEN HAVE YOU GOT TO BE TOGETHER IN THE SAME ROOM IN

THE PAST 12 MONTHS.

>> OOOH, MAYBE THREE OR FOUR TIMES.

I THINK THIS HAS BEEN THE LEAST WE'VE SEEN EACH OTHER IN A YEAR

EVER IN OUR ENTIRE LIVES, AND THAT'S MAYBE THE ONLY HUGE

POSITIVE OF THIS WHOLE PANDEMIC.

>> James: BUT THERE'S A RUMOR YOU WILL BE GETTING TOGETHER

SOON BECAUSE IT SAYS ON THE INCIDENT THE KINGS OF LEON HAVE

TWO SHOWS IN JUNE IN BRITAIN IN NEW CASTLE AND LEEDS.

NOW I'M GOING TO BE THERE AT THIS POINT.

IS THIS TRUE?

IS THIS RIGHT?

IS THIS HAPPENING?

WHAT'S THIS FIRST GIG GOING TO LOOK LIKE WHEN YOU GET BACK ON

STAGE?

ARE YOU CONFIDENT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO THESE GIGS?

>> I DON'T THINK THAT THE TWO SHOWS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE

GOING TO HAPPEN.

>> James: OH, ( BLEEP ) OFF, NATHAN.

SCREW YOU, MAN.

JUST LIE!

JUST LIE!

>> I'M SORRY.

WE CAN DO A HOUSE PARTY FOR YOU IF THEY LET US, MAYBE.

I DON'T KNOW.

>> James: I'M READING BETWEEN THE LINES HERE.

ARE YOU SAYING EVERYTHING I READ ON THE INTERNET ISN'T TRUE?

( LAUGHTER ) WHAT?!

>> YES, I WOULD SAY A MAJORITY OF IT IS NOT TRUE.

>> James: AH...

BUT WHEN WE DO GET TO BE BACK ON THE SHOW, IT'S GOING TO BE

EXCITING.

I'VE SAID BEFORE THAT I THINK THIS WILL BE ONE TO HAVE THE

ONLY SHOWS WHERE WE ACT LIKE THE CROWD SHOULD ACT, AND THE CROWD

IS GOING TO ACT HOW THE BAND SHOULD ACT.

WE'LL BE THE ONES WHO ARE ALL GIDDY AND EXCITED.

YEAH, SO IT'S GOING TO BE AMAZING.

I CAN'T WAIT.

I WISH WE WERE PLAYING THE SHOWS IN JUNE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY NOT.

>> James: OH, MAN.

WELL, WHEN YOU DO, THAT IS GOING TO BE SOME NIGHT.

CALEB, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE BRILLIANT NEW ALBUM.

CONGRATULATIONS.

IT'S BEEN A FIVE-YEAR WAIT FOR THIS RECORD.

BUT YOU FINISHED THIS RECORD A YEAR AGO, SO BEFORE THE

PANDEMIC.

WHAT WAS THE REASON TO WAIT UNTIL NOW TO RELEASE IT?

>> OH, MAN, IT WAS WEIRD.

WE WERE READY TO GO.

WE KIND OF HAD OUR FINGER ON THE GO BUTTON, THEN, OBVIOUSLY,

THINGS HAPPENED THE WAY THEY HAVE.

I DON'T KNOW.

I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES ALONG WITH MAKING AN ALBUM.

YOU KNOW, AFTERWARDS, WE ENJOY PLAYING SHOWS AND PROMOTING IT

IN A WAY THAT KEEPS THE EXCITEMENT GOING.

YOU KNOW, IT DID FEEL RIGHT AT THE TIME TO GO AND TRY TO

RELEASE SOMETHING AND, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE

HAVE BEEN OUT OF WORK AND STUFF, WE DIDN'T REALLY WANT -- WANT TO

EXPECT PEOPLE TO GO SPEND MONEY ON OUR MUSIC.

SO WE WAITED, AND WE'RE HAPPY WE DID.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALL EXCITED.

I THINK THE WORLD'S READY TO HEAR SOME MUSIC, AND WE'RE JUST

HAPPY TO BE THE ONES GIVING IT TO THEM.

>> James: WELL, AND WE'RE HAPPY THAT YOU'RE GIVING US

THIS.

MATT, YOU AS A BAND, YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING, WHICH IF I'M

HONEST, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING REVOLUTIONARY WITH BLOCK CHAIN

AND CRYPTO, WHICH COULD -- THERE'S A CHANCE THIS COULD

CHANGE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

JUST IMAGINE YOU'RE TALKING TO AN IDIOT -- I KNOW THAT'S

DIFFICULT, BUT IMAGINE YOU ARE --

( LAUGHTER ) -- WHAT IS IT YOU'RE OFFERING

THE FANS HERE?

>> WELL, FIRST OFF, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ME

FOR THE NFC QUESTION.

( LAUGHTER ) I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT FULLY.

>> James: GOOD.

I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE FEELS THAT WAY, BUT, BASICALLY, THE

WAY I LOOK AT IT IS, LIKE, DIGITAL MERCH YOU CAN GO AND BID

ON, LIKE, ONE OF TEN ITEMS THAT, YOU KNOW, COULD BE YOURS, AND

IT'S A DIGITAL ARTS BASE.

IT'S NEW AND, YEAH, THEY TELL US WE'RE THE FIRST TO RELEASE OUR

ALBUM AS AN NFG, WHICH SOUNDS AMAZING.

I DON'T WANT TO FORGET TO SAY WE RAISED OVER HALF A MILLION

DOLLARS FOR CREW NATION FOR OUT OF WORK CREW MEMBERS.

SO THAT'S ALL COOL AND RIGHT.

>> James: THAT'S FANTASTIC.

THANK YOU.

>> James: WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU'RE HERE.

CONGRATULATIONS ON A BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT ALBUM.

WE'RE SO HAPPY YOU'RE BACK.

DON'T GO AWAY.

WHEN WE COME BACK, KINGS OF LEON ARE PERFORMING RIGHT HERE ON

THIS SHOW.

COME ON DAK, EVERYBODY.
