Talihina Sky : The Story Of The Kings Of Leon (Limited Edition Special Packaging) [DVD]

I watched this DVD recently with my son, a fan of the band & although the history of the band was interesting,their background & upbringing was a powerful portraile of their Christian roots & the fallout from that strict upbringing & ultimately their father's alcohol problems & subsequent divorce of some of the bands parents. Having been a 'Born again' Christian ( to use the phrase , though in truth you're either a Christian or you're not) I have seen many sincere Christian people,who in their zeal to see their offspring 'saved' go to loads of Christian meetings,conferences etc and when their kids grow up they rebel and turn their backs on faith. Many of these kids grow up with a sense that their parents love is conditional & by default look upon Jesus as setting the same standards. For many it seems way too hard & so they give up saying "why bother?" Sadly Jesus love for mankind is unconditional as the Bible clearly states 'while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us'. I highly recommend this DVD to Christian parents as a sobering reminder of the price of not showing their offspring unconditional love. I like a lot of their music too (I'm 55)'Ragoo' 'Pyro'& ' Arizona' to name few. I had tickets for their 'gig' here in Bergen, Norway in August this year, but sadly it was cancelled which was a drag.

I wouldn't say this is a documentary more like a bit of insight into their past.Sort of interesting I suppose.

love this footage / documentary behind the scenes look at the lives and times of these guys'' kings of Leon '' excellent band , so down to earth , and real,even though they have there ups and downs ,'' blood is thicker than water '' which portrays clearly the closeness of this family ,it is not easy to work with your family everyday ! but they get through it, and create their '' excellent music material '' which makes it all worth it ! really enjoyed watching this thanks

I loved this. Good to see the boys in their natural habitat haha

A good watch but not worth the price

This is a great look at the 'edited' lives of KOL. Their childhood, to me, is very interesting and it was good to see interviews with their parents. I would have preferred more early gig/tour footage, but I really enjoyed what was shown. The commentary is hilarious and seems unedited which is much more fun!.

Excellent story on the king's if Leon. Bonus features are very good.

A complete load of rubbish. I have no idea what it was all about. I am a fan of Kings of Leon but I would not recommend this to anyone.
