Follow-will? Kings of Leon divided by wife-to-be

Caleb Followill has slammed brother Nathan's decision to marry his long-term girlfriend, implying that the woman - she a gold-digger!
"If he doesn't get a pre-nuptial agreement, he's an idiot," spouted Caleb.
"Me and him have a lot invested in each other," he continued to fume. "We started this band. We bought land and houses together. We've been best friends since we were little biddy boys. I don't want him to make mistakes."
But Caleb's concerns are not limited to a personal or financial agenda - he also reckons marriage would be detrimental to the band's recorded output.
"We have friends in bands who are married and their songs start being watered down because they're all about the same girl."
Drummer Nathan, who popped the question to Jessie Baylin over tea in New York, retorted - as any decent man would - though his protestations falter somewhat within their first three words.
"Look at Bono - he's been married his whole career."
There!
"It's different for me than it is for Caleb, I'm pushing thirty. It's always hard when big brother starts devoting time to a girl that would normally be devoted to little brother."
Green eyes or greedy thighs? How am I supposed to know? That's for you to decide.

Fierce Panda day: Fear & Records' Forgotten Favourites from Fierce Panda
I like the way he said
biddy :D
That article
amused me so much I might even give their records a listen.
They've lost it now, anyway.
Aha Shake Heartbreak is a total masterpiece. Its almost 'amazing' at parts. But their latest effort is really really bad. They need to split up before they get any worse.
Well
looks like that may come true. What a tw@t for saying that about your brother's engagement. When I read this earlier I thought the "Look at Bono" quote was actually from the brother doing the original slagging off, following on from the people write crap songs when they get married.
because of the times
is fucking MINT! easily their best album.
although... they're 'popular' these days, obviously...

Who says things like that about their own brother to the press? What an arsehole.
idiot brothers
hyped music, full of shit.
yeah..
I'd be well upset if that were me and my brother/sister started saying shit like that to the press, or anyone in fact! Its a really nasty thing to say about your brother and his future wife to be!
That Caleb sounds like a petulant little child. Spoilt methinks?
They're boring anyway.
i was
very upset to see caleb had cut all of his hair off at T in the Park.
i am also upset that nathan got engaged without meeting me.
