Kings Of Leon really grind my gears, don't get me wrong, I think they're phenomenal, but 'only by the night' has really opened my eyes to the harsh reality of music, if you listen to some of their earlier albums,
'Because of the times' 'Youth & young manhood' 'Aha shake heartbreak'
all classic albums. Listen back on them, like 'molly's chambers' or 'the bucket', well known songs, granted. But just compare them to 'use somebody', you'll see where i'm coming from!
Whenever a band eventually makes it, they haven't got the balls to keep on exploring their musical boundaries for way too many superficial reasons. This is where major labels play their part, when you sign to a major record label, they CAN help you but only if you do WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO!
as Lennon once said,
"i don't believe in the Beatles, I only believe in me"

That sort of mentality will help anyone in this world! don't let yourself fall into the pattern, break the mould! believe in yourself and pay not attention to what's 'expected of you' you'll earn a shit load more respect exploring uncharted waters, than sticking to what you know....
DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON PENDULUM!
