Kings of Leon: ‘We are Spinal Tap’

Kings of Leon will debut their documentary movie, Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon , in July and have admitted their story is not only a “rockumentary” but close to a “mockumentary.” Bassist Jared Followill told Bang Showbiz : “Oh, we are Spinal Tap, totally, I don’t know how they got that film so perfect.” Guitarist Matthew Followill added: “You’d think the actors were in a band, maybe they were in a band before, they nailed so perfectly, it was like the beginning years of our band.” In This is Spinal Tap , the hapless eponymous rockers get lost in a maze of corridors as they try to reach an arena stage and Jared confessed it remains all too real. “Spinal Tap was a huge downward curve, the whole film, and when you’re in a band coming up you see the same people and go through the same venues and have the same complaints, it’s really funny,” he said. Nevertheless, Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon is being taken very seriously.
