Kings of Leon

"Beautiful War" (video)

BY Alex HudsonPublished Nov 22, 2013

Kings of Leon's new album is called Mechanical Bull, and their music video for "Beautiful War" centres around bulls of both mechanical and literal varieties.

The six-and-a-half-minute clip for the climactic ballad tells the story of a rodeo bull-rider and how he ended up behind bars. We see lots of ultra-slow-motion shots of the protagonist riding a bucking bull, but he doesn't seem too pleased when his girlfriend rides a mechanical bull at a bar.
