You can't compare them to The Killers... that is except for one song... All These Things That I've Done. Probably my favorite Killers song, but they only have one... The Gaslight Anthem rocks my socks everytime
You know, I've heard people compare this band to the likes of The Clash, Bruce Springsteen and Hot Water Music, but I will never understand how anyone could ever compare these guys to The Killers.
Stop comparing bands. The killers are different, have a different tone and style, and Bandon Flowers is legendary. What are you actually talking about, no passion or intensity? You know nothing. The Gaslight are also fucking awsome, and Brian Fallon is godlike, but the Killers are far closer to them than your label of 'generic pop band.' Now shutup the hell up, and enjoy the quality music. (Bam, you just got told by a 15 year old girl.)
@ako2662 check out their website for updated tour dates, also brian fallon is involved with a new band The Horrible Crowes, they are supposed to have some material out soon too
I can't hear the Killers in Gaslight Anthem at all. I can hear hints of Springsteen, but that's because I'm a big fan. Saw both bands at Hard Rock Calling :)
what is this shit omg this is gay! time to go listen to some real music like just bieber and hannah montanna and jay z ooo yea zach brown band too. chicken freid now thats a song with soul not this bullshit that they put out there just make money damn you brian fallon
Honestly great lyrics. These guys are so strange in a good way. This type of music can be so fun but you would never expect the lyrical depth. Awesome. So awesome.
Im not gonna say shit about any other band, all I'm gonna say is that this band, this song, are fuckin incredible in every way, and that if you are any sort of middle class working person i feel like you are destined to love this band
i just started getting into gaslight anthem, i have to say that im obsessed. In their cd before this one his voice doesnt sound as much like the killers (the killers arent bad). Some times his voice sounds a little like rise against, a little like matt skiba from alkaline trio, and a little like the lawrence arms
as much as I would like that to be true (because I am a huge RA and TGA fan) the singer's voice is not nearly as refined and amazing as Tim McIllrath's
Just fyi, you guys are ridiculous. Yes, GA is a good band, but that's it. The Killers trump them in almost every way imaginable ESPECIALLY lyrics. The Killers are a passionate, evolving band with multiple refrains rather than the same line sung (well) over and over and over again in three minutes. If a band doesn't have multiple sounds, they're only good for one song.
you're taking the piss, right? The killers are a generic pop band, Brian Fallon actually knows how to write a song - I unfortunately saw the killers live at a festival about 4 years back and it basically sounded like they put their cd in and mimed with absolutley no passion or intensity (I know they didn't but it was extremely boring) - the gaslight have a much better more real sound live, I hate how people compare Fallon to that Bono wannabe from The Killers.
Despite what style of music your prefer, I don't see how you could objectively say that Brandon Flowers doesn't have as good a voice. I think he's got a much stronger vocal register and wider range than Brian Fallon, but Brian is still a damn amazing singer.
@UnosDosTres: These guy play rock for one reason. They have fucking freaking fun on stage. see them playing with "The Boss" Here: /watch?v=Ul0XCTeJx_o see bruce smiling at brian. and see them playing and singing with full emotion. Which other band, i tell them newcomers cuz they play not really long together, which other band has so much fun?!? The killers? all that mainstream suckers?
@UnosDosTres Wellll, I am a big gaslight anthem fan as well as a big killers fan, and its fine if you don't like the killers music, but i think you're going a little too far to say they have no passion or intensity live... i don't know what show you went to!
@UnosDosTres The leadsinger from the Killers released a solo album last year and it was pretty solid. They are not on The Gaslight Anthem's level but they are head and shoulders above "generic pop band"
Both bands are excellent, sound wise, lyrics wise etc.
The Killers got this slightly more "up in the blue" sound to them (see Spaceman amongst others) while GA are more down to earth. GA sings about more real things, and they do it damn fine. The Killers on the other hand are, as I said, more up in the blue, tad crazier and their lyrics are entertaining to analyze. But GA has one of the best voices I've heard in a long time.
I have posted this video on my channel from hard rock calling 2009 a couple of nights ago, it was amazing! I have bruce springsteen and gaslight anthem playing 59 sound too, so check them out. Gaslight Anthem were influenced heavily by springsteen because they both came from new jersey. they were inspired by his music and his workrate to get out of there. Gaslight Anthem will be the next big thing, they truly are a spectacular band and it was an honour to see them at hyde park. good luck fallon.
A massive prank will be pulled on "comedian" Fred on youtube.
What is trying to be done is get everyone that has a subscription to fred, to unsubscribe. If this is succsesful, then it will make the news, cause controversy, and best of all, destroy fred!
I Abosolutely love the killers but these guys are in a whole different league, its so rare that you come across a band that has this much heart and just pours it out on the stage and in how raw and honest their songs are. GA = The Win!
yeah the gaslight anthem is real music in a time when we lost what real music actually was and slowly this sound will come back. at least that's what I believe
The Killers are awesome but these guys are better. The lyrics to EVERY SONG on this cd are amazing and their sound is better than the Killers'. Kinda like Social Distortion mixed with Bruce Springsteen
well said my friend, i live about 15 minutes from where they are from, they got a pretty good following around here, they are getting some satelite radio play(sirius punk) and on some local stations here. i truely hope these guys make it big they have so much talent. love the boss more then anything, and i feel like these guys are to our generation(im 19) what springsteen was to my parents. nothing but the best i hope for them
I can't believe these guys aren't already huge. They sound like what the Killers wanted to be on their 2nd album "Sam's Town." On that album the Killers clearly wanted to achieve this Americana sound reminiscent of Springting. They did it with limited success. Well here these true Jersey Boys (Porltand boy here, no bone to pick) pulled it off beautifully. This track along with The 59 Sound and Film Noir perfectly capture that ethos. Rock on fellas.

However you did not, you suck, and he's a shit- ton of a better critic than you are.
