Jared Followill has admitted that he probably wouldn't like Kings of Leon if he wasn't in the band.

Followill said that if it was solely down to him, he would change large elements of their music.

"In every song there's something I wish I could change," The Guardian quotes him as saying. "If I wasn't involved, I can't imagine liking us a lot, just because I only control 25% of it."

The bassist also confessed that the band get concerned when frontman Caleb claims that he is writing new music because they believe that he will take all the royalties.

"I got a call from Caleb going, 'I'm sitting here writing the next album by myself'. And we're like, 'Oh no, you're not!' We ended up going to his house so that when the record comes out he can't go, 'Dude, I'm getting 70% of this s**t'."

Guitarist Matthew added: "We basically go [back] to his house for the royalties."

Kings of Leon are currently working on the follow-up to 2008's Only By The Night.
