i respect a tribute or cover to Dire Straits over any original song by any idiot on the top 40 right now, like turn the radio on now. yep, anything related to Dire Straits is never never a waste of time. a waste of time is covering an auto tne song.
whatever, it sux in comparison but THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY PAYING SOME SORT OF TRIBUTE ( OR TRYING) TO THE BEST BAND EVER- AND THE BEST GUITARIST EVER= DIRE STRAITS. I would listen to all of Dire Straits in a VW bus if my dad had one, duh.
*could be introducted to them." Basically he is saying i doubt we will do the song justice, but maybe if some of the younger generation listen to our version then that will introduce them to the greatness of dire straits. As for the weather he is just commenting on the bands skill, there ability to ignore there drab surroundings and write songs like this one.
@Gez97 mate your in the wrong here id just give up now if I were you, when SuperAmik said brilliance he was talking about the origional dire straits song. Also if you watched the introduction to this video he says and I quote "Romeo and Julet, I think is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I don't know if that's a reason to cover it, because we probably wont do it justice, one of the reasons I guess is mabye a person who is a fan of the killers who doesnt know about dire straits.
Comeback when the killers are as good as the Straits then maybe you can argue the toss, until then unlucky. Nothing wrong with the grammer chump! and dont worry no-one will copy The Killers coz theyre shite compared to Knopfler one of the greatest guitarists of all time FACT and its embarrassing so see a great song put to shame
This version sucks, should be no such thing as a cover, do your own stuff if your good enough. Brilliance?? i dont think so, theres never any brilliance in a copy
Pathetic that you think that Dire Straits dont sound like they come from England, typical yank ignorance and classics should never be covered, stick to your own pathetc music if you thinks its worth it
@Gez97 Take a deep breath and relax there, junior. Clearly you missed the obvious fact that The Killlers were paying deep respect to Dire Straits, Mark, and the song's brilliance. Brandon's point about the song not sounding like it was from England was a compliment, dumbass. England has shit weather, does it not? He's saying this song transcends it. For the record, I'm a huge Dire Straits fan and a passing admirer of The Killers. Yet, I find this cover excellent. Get a grip, twat-boy.

WoW!!! Hell Yeah!!!! Love the Killers! Been listening to a lot of the Killers, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, The Clash, Kaiser Chiefs, and No Doubt....
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a cool edge. Plus they've got a pretty hot chick singer too :-) ...check em out...
respect to killers for respecting dire straits and mark knopfler. the cover was great but it simply doesnt beat dire straits. Dire Straits live performances are wayyy better than their recorded song! so give respect to them and little bit of time to watch them. but im glad they covored it, brings back the real music and dire straits :).
I always enjoy cover versions. They remind me of what I like about the original and sometimes offer nice surprises. If you don't like cover versions, don't click on them to listen. Brandon and the boys handled this with sincerity and respect. They may have been performing on film at Abbey Road but how different is this from you singing a favorite song in the shower with a scrub brush for a microphone? When people love music, they express themselves through it, whether they wrote the song or not.
The Killers is a good band and they do a nice cover of this song, I'll give them that. Is this verion BETTER than the original? My answer is a big fat NO. Not by any stretch of the imagination, in my opinion.:-)
A friendly suggestion, may I? Seach for live versions of this song, watch them, they are even better than the original. Dire Straits seriouly know how to give audiences their best performances!
I like the original still - it had a pureness to it. It was simple. This one adds a few more elements into that in comparison takes away from the words the simple guitar in the back. He sings it a little differently too. Its good but not better.
It's probably impossible to match the guitar work, pacing and dynamics of the original by Dire Straits but the vocals here are really interesting and a fresh take. Great cover.

dave keunings my idol. writes great, awesome (and i mean this word in it's actual meaning not in the overused way like "DUDE, AWESOME!" songs, and is an overall lad, especially when drunk.
I was really expecting the Killers to do something new with the song and make it somewhat their own but this was a huge disappointment. Playing it straight out as it was written only highlights how bad Brandon Flowers' voice is, compared to Mark Knoffler. If they had changed it enough to accommodate how BF usually sings it could have been really cool and new and still inspired younger audiences to seek out the original. They aren't doing anyone justice here.
Hey all you Dire Strais Fans , go watch and comment on a DS video, and stop hating this. We all know MK was great. This song is all about vocals and I like it better , and yes we all know who wrote it.
@trackdaybob look man, I am a big fan of MK, but they pay tribute to this great artist. They actually did a great job. They are all clearly inspired by the great MK and you need to respect them as they covered a beautiful song and actually covered it well
i like the fact that at least brandon references the song's origins, but why diss england and say he can't believe dire straits were from there!!! think that 'little' island has produced some good bands over the years don't you!!!!
and much as i like brandon (and the killers) , mark knopfler has got a 'man's' voice and that's what this song needs
1981..on a beach in Rimini Italy..I first heard this song..I had no clue who did the song..It was on a loop..I waited and hear dit twice but no name was given...so I went to a record shop and started with the 'A's" and when I got to D ..I found Dire Straits..!
I bought everything they had and have loved them ever since..
@zoologistoyourbee ...Australia..? Nah not to me..to me it says "back when you were young" and lived life to the absolute fullest..no worries..no bills..no nothing but me and the wind at my back.. That's what it says to me and when i here it..I can for a moment go back there and remember..! :)
I Sang This Song To My Girlfriend... She Loved It! Cause She Never Heard It Before, So, She Thinks I Made-Up That Song For Her... Thanks Killers!!! :)
i love this song I heard it once for like 2 seconds on the movie Empire Records and have loved it ever since. I like this version but I like the original better. Great song no matter who sings it though.
" I'm amazed their from England " .................. Yeh Brandon Flowers & the Killers their from ENGLAND and they will rock on in our hearts long after you are gone and forgotten
@mim22070 No reason to get upset, what he ment is if you listened is that the songs sound like they are from the deserts of australia, not from the clouds of england. Listen before you judge.
Please can people stop making comments about the 'X' number of people who dislike 'X' Youtube video. It's not clever, it's not meaningful, it's not funny, and most importantly, it's become really annoying.
@DavieC87 You should probably have different notation: X & Y to avoid confusion between the number of people and the Youtube video. Algebraic naivety aside, the point you make is rather pertinent. It is unoriginal above all else.
@TJsalami I posted the original comment, but this is a new account of mine.
Just so you know, I am not algebraically naive, I just wasn't using algebraic notation. In my line of work (and I assumed generally) 'X' means 'fill in the blank'. When using figures and tables everything is labelled as 'Fig./Table X' until the report is complete. As far as I can see you are the only person who spotted the potential for confusion.
@TJsalami As for the lack of originality of my post, I agree. I hadn't seen such a comment before I posted it, but I should have realised it was inevitable. I was naive in this sense. I'm not sure how my comment is pertinent in the context of this particular video, unless you mean the topic of the posts I referred to - which is a given - or maybe you meant it lacks pertinence. Which ever way, overall your evaluation of my post is condescending and seemingly inaccurate in the point you make.
@DavieC87 is this not one of those comments? do you put this on every video you watch? next time maybe pause and think, because you're turning into one of those annoying people......
Brandon Flowers sings this song so beautifully, even though I love the original it has never gave me goosebumps, but this does, they most certainly did do it justice.
@anotherman08 when? no shit, I really want to know. They make compliments and say they won't do the song justice.....to me that isn't exactly arrogant but if you have a point, please say it...
Both versions are very good, however, what made this song so beautyfull was its lyrics and its guitar, and thats why i prefer the dire straits version, but i am not saying that this onde isnt good, not at all! and mark's voice is a little better and "old".
@UriasGilberto yeah i know, but just cause he went solo because the other killers wanted to take a little break after touring and recording for 6 years doesnt mean he did leave the band....
I love them for giving it a go and their reasons for doing it.I couldn't see any other bands these days attempting a song as big as this.A good version obviously not as good as Dire straits but a good effort just the same.Well done.
its okay but it just doesnt compare to dire straights different generations i guess but i recomend anyone who hasnt heard the original version to look it up
i respect a tribute or cover to Dire Straits over any original song by any idiot on the top 40 right now, like turn the radio on now. yep, anything related to Dire Straits is never never a waste of time. a waste of time is covering an auto tne song.

Brandon Flowers sings this song so beautifully, even though I love the original it has never gave me goosebumps, but this does, they most certainly did do it justice.

@anotherman08 when? no shit, I really want to know. They make compliments and say they won't do the song justice.....to me that isn't exactly arrogant but if you have a point, please say it...

Both versions are very good, however, what made this song so beautyfull was its lyrics and its guitar, and thats why i prefer the dire straits version, but i am not saying that this onde isnt good, not at all! and mark's voice is a little better and "old".

it´s a pity that Brandon Flowers is no more a killer, because he left the band.
I almost cry. :(

@kzojgonlji if you want you can hear his solo song. "crossfire" is the song's name
UriasGilberto 1 year ago
@UriasGilberto yeah i know, but just cause he went solo because the other killers wanted to take a little break after touring and recording for 6 years doesnt mean he did leave the band....
kzojgonlji 1 year ago
@UriasGilberto I'm pretty sure he just started a solo project. I don't think he left the band.

I love them for giving it a go and their reasons for doing it.I couldn't see any other bands these days attempting a song as big as this.A good version obviously not as good as Dire straits but a good effort just the same.Well done.
