Elsewhere on MTV TWO this week:
KINGS OF LEON: GONZO SPECIAL
Sunday 16 November, 6pm (rpt. Monday at noon)
With the doors of Studio G firmly barred against the rabid, screaming fans (and that’s just the MTV TWO boys!), Zane settled down for a lengthy chat with possibly the hottest band in the world right now: Kings of Leon. They talk about bad YouTube renditions of their songs, having their record leaked by a guy called Pedro in Mexico, meeting strippers in Madame Jojo’s and being told to act sexy in their videos. It’s a frank, funny and revealing interview with Caleb and Nathan – the dudes that guys wanna be and girls wanna be with.
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE vs FALL OUT BOY
GREEN DAY vs LINKIN PARK
KINGS OF LEON vs MUSE
ARCTICS vs KAISERS
KILLERS vs WHITE STRIPES
