Romeo and Juliet - The Killers

[myriamm1013]

Those people that want this song for their wedding, do they not know that Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy and they both end up killing themselves?

[rossastan]

Great song, The Killers did a good job. Dire Straits did better.

[RedNails93]

Too many people want to play this at their wedding.

IT'S A SAD SONG, FOLKS, LISTEN TO THE LYRICS.

[Jasss10]

Covering Knopler using a pick? Are you serious?

[Daina2131997]

Not only shall I make this my wedding song, but I am SOOOOOO getting the Killers to perform it :D <3

[MrTonycox123]

Pure Class

[huskar009]

try hear the original one. /watch?v=o7GJgncybV8&feature=f­vwrel this one literally make me cry...dun get me wrong though both singer have their own style...i like the killers but i love the direstraits ! 

[aintfaltering]

i kissed him harder when i heard this song in the background...

[MyNameIsDavification]

This WAS my parents wedding song!

[cXcarolayXc]

this is one of my favorites by them. I LOVE YOU GUYS!

[MegaEmGem]

Definitely my favourite love song. :)

[musicequalhappiness]

i fell in love with this song long before the killers made this cover, i was like bit mad and jealous that they did it, it was a special song to me and i wanted to keep it all for me, it's silly i know :p but now i'm kind of glad cause they made more people aware of this absolutely amazing tune from DS, thanks a million Mark!

[hiball890]

i think that it's a brave move, cant improve it. but it's a good effort!

[StevieWilks1989]

Don't dislike this version, I think it's good they did a cover. But Mark Knopfler's guitar riff is something else in comparison. And the outro is amazing. Just a fantastic song.

[Th3Shyguy]

love both this cover and the original song, so good

[Gallows132]

This song gives me total goosebumps!

[Widy411]

The way he says " Hey la my boyfriends back" it give me goosebumps:)!

[hahaurmno]

meh it's alright, but they haven't made it there own, and you can't beat knopfler at his own song in his own style

[nyguy88L71]

is not a wedding song is a song of lost love!

[nyguy88L71]

very good is all i can say

[luchoman299]

0:27 Earl Hickey from My Name Is Earl!!!!!!

[misszotee]

@luchoman299 no his name is ronnie , dont u think he gets a bit fed up of every one saying that ?

[ElianossT]

Thumbs up if you started this song in 2011 and it didn't finish till 2012 :p

[6taffy7]

what/who is knopfler? im sure direstraits done this originally

[sumgirl720]

@6taffy7 Knopfler is the lead guitarist/singer of Dire Straits.

[6taffy7]

@sumgirl720 well i didnt know that, thanks, i could of had some rough answers from that ha [red faced]

[6taffy7]

@sumgirl720 well i didnt know that, thanks, i could of had some rough answers for a question like that, cheers [red faced]

[guttersnipephil]

@6taffy7 Are you serious?

[6taffy7]

@guttersnipephil your too late for funny questions, read and it will tell you what you need to know [yes i was serious i didnt know]

[OwnardsAndCrisps]

WHEN WE MADE LOVE YOU USED TO CRY !

[thethreeamazingmen]

[melissaetiaw]

Looove it

[miguelsaez340]

[yvan707]

thx! :)

[effysuare]

Sorry to dissapoint you but this cover is magnificent.

[effysuare]

omg, I loooove this song.

[Ajc52]

actually killed it.



[annabananachris]

Every, every every fucking time I listen to this song, it makes me cry, it's just so much feeling in it, and I also think because I'm still heartbroken,

[mylani100]

like the guitar but the cover isn't half as good Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls did it.

[OllieBurtonGuitar]

Just not as natural and laid-back as Knopfler's version, IMHO.

Still a nice cover though.

[livvievloggsforcake]

Beautiful, beautiful song :)

[mbohill]

Generally don't like covers but Class cover especially from Dire Straits

[avitzin]

:3

uuuuuu!!!

[the12thman07]

pretty solid cover right here. love the emotion at 3:50. but all thanks to Knopfler. He is the man

[oXabbeykinsXo]

romeo romeo, where for art thou romeo?

[mjaaalmeida92]

damn! I accidently clicked dislike! time to repent for my sin

[EffyCairns]

genuinly thik this is oneof the best covers of anythig out there!

[Jmd21985]

this is going to be my wedding song

[RocMe100]

@Jmd21985 really good song for a wedding but i think Mark Knopfler's version is better. check it out!

[vitornevesxj]

@Jmd21985 as maiores felicidades, e que esta musica tok muitos e muitos anos nos voços corações.

[rosemarydragon]

@Jmd21985 I thought I would make this my Funeral Song!! Seriously though I really love this tune, so maybe that isn't such a great idea!

[magdafilipa1981]

and my wedding song to:)

[RedNails93]

@Jmd21985 It's a song about love lost rather than love gained; perhaps not the best choice for a wedding song.

[GabrielBissey]

@Jmd21985 Listen to the song more carefully and you'll change your mind about that.

[BenchedMagic]

@Jmd21985

The same thought totally crossed my mind, but alas, the lyrics are depressing, not to mention it is about two tragically doomed people (the dice was loaded from the start).

The song is really beautiful, the guitar melody especially in my opinion.

[dragonsfanful]

Forget Romeo... i love Brandon!

[skywardism]

Brave cover. Sounds cool

[bearmonster121]

you and me babe how about it? ;p

[xazykrazy1102]

even if I love The Killers, this just feels wrong.

[kitschmarsh]

she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back

[Misterslicker]

The BEST version here => /watch?v=6-P4DVCsd70 <= AMAZING!!

[lbwannabe]

@Misterslicker :DDD for me the best version is this one: youtube.com/watch?v=64vvX6-d_J­Y&feature=related

[NataPTKillers]

holy shit this man should always wear skinny jeans

[MrPentagonal]

i didnt know earl hickey played the drums!

[grimmyx22]

After 30 yrs, how prophetic. wonderfull.

[cynthiaperez09]

i hate the play,

love the song

;)

[xXpAnDaDeMiCXx]

I love you, Ryan, my Juliet. =)

[DanskeSange]

@xXpAnDaDeMiCXx Ryan? That sounds more like he's a Romeo? :)

[SillyPinkey]

luv this this song means a lot to me :) :(

[88Blackmaple]

No. Just NO!

[dianekelly87]

I think that 7 000 000 of these views are just mine lol

[brandonsavedmylife]

prefer this to the original ..... brandon flowers voice is incredible

[rudygetsplenty]

Sorry, this really doesn't cut it

[96fed]

it would be a nice song... if i hadn't heard it played by dire straits and mark k!!

sorry killers, no deal

[singhthesongs]

mrlunarwolf21...Country music? You poor, confused person.

[mrlunarwolf21]

Much better than the country music that is Dire Straits

[EyeShotFirst1]

I appreciate that they appreciate Mark Knoplfer, but as a guitarist, I find their cover to be lazy.

[Thurzotron]

I love The Killers but covering Knopfler with a pick? Are you fucking kidding me?

[lerlo]

@Thurzotron With a pick!?! Thats a bloody insult!!

[blitzd808]

@lerlo Pretty sure he's talking about how mark knopfler played guitar...

[lerlo]

@blitzd808 I know, I meant they played it with a pick which is an insult to MK who didnt use one. Plus the played the damn thing note for note, I mean seriously, theres covers and then theres copies..... and for such a reputable band, they could at least try to have their own rendition of it.

[KillSwitch05]

@lerlo How is playing it with a pick an insult and playing at least according to you closer to the original an insult too?

Truth is I hear the dire straits in this cover for sure, the progressions are too characteristic, but then again as soon as I hear it I recognize it is a killers cover, that's how I heard it the first time on the radio. And I liked it, personnally I like the original better, or even lisas version, but I can't see your point here.

[klwarns]

@lerlo How is it an insult to play a song with a pick? You say they should've made the music different, but the method should be identical? How does that make sense.

[lerlo]

@klwarns Exactly, it doesn't make sense, just like what the killers did, it does not make sense. If it doesn't fit, u must acquit!

[beardyvegie]

@Thurzotron C'mon, dude, don't be so hard on them. We all know Knopfler is a renowned fingerpicker with the most unique style, not many can play guitar like him.

[abegonzal]

@Thurzotron isn't it a dire straites cover?

[valy0193]

@Thurzotron

[makintoshist]

Soso

[Floodlezoot]

knopfler is so much better than this that I won't even finish listening to this shit. 

Thine,

Juliet

[RoodleyRumple]

@Floodlezoot I take it you're trolling

[Floodlezoot]

@RoodleyRumple sort of.

[nikk395]

great cover, love the feeeling , but my favourite is still knopfler :)

[olivia1910]

who, I wonder who on this planet, comes watch this video and thinks 'ouh well it's not very nice, let's dislike!'. Seriously. They must be some kind of robots

[SuperBlackout33]

Hay esta cancion esta tan cabrona

[SuperBlackout33]

Oh my fucking god i love this song its so touching

[hiball890]

i just remembered these lot covered this song, grew up with the original, and hold it in my heart.. think this 1 will take a few loops to be accepted! lol

[madiemelonlily]

i mentioned this song in my romeo and juliet essay, i was told this song was not a reliable source. pfft, what do teachers know

[Shaunatheexplorer]

@madiemelonlily i remember hearing someone bring up this song in a romeo and juliet speech thing before, teach thought it worked well. your one must just be fucked (Y) dont worry, they all are XD

[tstakland4]

@madiemelonlily I remember when my teachers said that no Internet sources were trustworthy... academia can lag behind reality several years.

[tiagovlima]

perfect song. love in letters

[sim9025]

buena cancion de los dire straits en las voces de the killers nunca la habia escuchado en esta version pero me encanto...muy buena

[lankstarz4eva]

still amazing no matter how many time i listen to it



[yuffiehighwind]

I like their performance of it

[yuffiehighwind]

ha oh dear I only just found out this is a cover. yay internet

[Sydneyy24]

when are ya gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong...juliet?

[JaZZnSOuLROmeO]

Dammit...I knew it..I just knew it..dam Juliett

[Franbielle20]

best song forever

[DekaKro]

"I'll love you like the stars above , i'll love you 'till i die" ..

[Thelouse152]

very good music

[Skeedont]

knopfler might be the best songwriter ever. 

[merrychasing]

@Skeedont Yea pal, he is. Ever heard of a 14 mins masterpiece called Telegraph Road? That song alone is enough to convince me that his songwriting ability is absolutely top notch.

[kubilove91]

good



[otursdag]

i think it's pretty awesome they covered this song, 'cause it's dire straits best one. even though it isn't near as good. but funny to hear anyway :))

[theview089]

I cannot believe this has got more views than Dire Straits' version.. The is quality but come on!

[69sniperghost]

Dear Romeo, My death isn't the only thing I've been faking... Sincerely, Juliet

[DarthPraun]

@69sniperghost "i also have a penis..."

[olagus100]

Polska czeka na THE KILLERS ;p

[Mitrofang]

I like The Killers, but this song is much worse than Dire Strait's. Great voice, but what happened to the guitar... Sounds totally different (and bad)

[orrginall]

Julia and Romeo on sunset with this song from air they feel love for kiss, i tell you

is amazing song :)

[footyfan05]

number 65 on my list, join the killers

[TheBarraBaja]

This is not just the perfect break up song...This is also an amazing cover!...

[TheBarraBaja]

Add to my favorite list...Check!

[siddharthjoshi91]

well it isn't sad at all. this is just as great as the original. the vocals are just amazing- full of emotion but Knopfler's guitar is unbeatable.

[siddharthjoshi91]

it's kinda sad to see that this has more views than the original version.

This one's great, but the original's the best.

[TheForrest1996]

Dire straits does it 100 times better!

[fatcaesardlb]

Brandon Flowers- Coolest Mormon rocker ever!!

[sild99]

Your music saves my usually depressing life,

[weirdandproudofit1]

I love the original so much cause it's full of memories for me... but, with all respect to an amazing band, I love this version even more somehow...

always loved dire straits nd ive heard so many covers of this song but this is the only one i've ever liked

[97footprints]

Well I prefer this version but that might have something to do with having known this one before the Dire Straits original.. :) they're both great but i just like this one a bit more, i love Brandon Flower's voice!

[lovethud]

my favorite Dire Straits song + The Killers = an incredibly happy person right here!!! :D

[VaughanWalters]
