WHAT?
I like this, but..."Better than the original"?
Never
Kings of Leon made one of the best songs of 2009 & no one is going to make a better version, thats like someone saying Youmeatsix's version of Pokerface is better! Lol

The original was way better, and Kings of Leon are better than Paramore, but I still like Paramore!! And not JUST because Hayley Williams is megahawt!

Ironic, this article. Paramore was played on Radio 1 this morning, whilst I was on my way to work. Now given I'm not overly familiar with Paramore's music, I waited until the vocals came in - and then I shoved my mum's Kings of Leon tape in. Because they're better.
And for the record - this version is rubbish compared to the original. Paramore make this song worth listening to? HA!

bleh
i have been a fan of kol for about 5 years now, not just since sex on fire came out.
this version is alright but still not better then kol's
so all the paramore teeny boppers grow up learn more about music and stop thinking this is AMAZING.

OK AT BEST
How can this be better than the original, KOL wrote the song and the music pluss this isnt even a full band version.
Its OK AT BEST.
Kerrang! please cover another band. Even when paramore had no intension of reasing a record you still covered them, same with you me at six - BREAKING NEWS - HAYLEY WILLIAMS BREAKS A NAIL - FRONT PAGE!!! Cover real stories like blink 182 getting back together, a band that influenced paramore and you me at 6 and every other pop punk band out there. Or brand new's new record 'Daisy'. A band that spends ages writting lyrics and music not a band that records an album in a few weeks. Brand new evolve on evry record!!! I wonder if paramores new record will have the smae guitar and drum structure as riot, mmmm i wonder.

This is an INCREDIBLY risky song to cover, its been done a hundred times all of which ended up sounding horrible. This is not better than the original, but Paramore do a damn good cover. i am not a big fan of Paramore but i can admit this cover is the best ive heard

Kings of Leon suck dick
I know so many dicks who think they're new all because of Sex on Fire and their newest album. I used to like some of their older stuff, now I hate them and it altogether.
I hate the word sell outs and I find it to strong for KOL, but they still suck.
I Love The Song.
And I Love KOL.
But Paramore is much better.
Paramore is just..
Awesome.
I love it.

Paramore. RULE.
There's no question about it people.
You Me At Six rule harder, must be said, but Paramore STILL RULE.
Don't be so negative. You'll never get anywhere.

In comment to Paul....Dude, did you even listen to PokerFace by Youmeatsix...they suck! obviously, that was one of the worst attempts to make a cover. Paramore, topped the chart. In a really nice unique way. They are two different styles and okay maybe you cant always BEAT the original but to compare youmeatsix cover of pokerface to paramore is a sad sad thing. Not even a close comparison.
KOL suck - i hate them so much, come on 'your sex is on fire'? It looks like he's cumin in the vid.
Paramore kick ass - josh farro is hot! Paramore's version is like 20 million times better! :) I do have to say to you Jayda that Daughtry are wicked ;)
YAY!! IM GOING!! ME AND MY SISTER!! SO EXCITE...
