Kings of Leon: 'Americans have no taste'

Kings of Leon have reportedly accused Americans of having a poor taste in music.

The alternative rock band, who are from Nashville, Tennessee, have allegedly stated that American music fans lack an acceptance of different genres of music, reports Angry Ape.

Drummer Nathan Followill said: "Most music gets ignored in the States unless it's hip-hop or Hannah Montana or Disney music like the Jonas Brothers.

"Kiddy pop or hip-hop, that's pretty much what America is. You may turn on the radio and you hear maybe one out of ten songs that you'd consider decent."

He added: "The UK is more open to all kinds of music. The fans are just insane in the UK - they are music lovers. You have kids going to shows to see the bands, not going to a show to be seen there."
