There's a reason why The Killers aren't getting the recognition they deserve. Hipsters, rock critics, they all want strain and pain and gloom and doom. The Killers are ecstatic and effortless. That is a MUCH harder thing to do. It's easy to be morose.
This is so much like the studio version, you can't imagine if you don't see this video he is performing live. This is AWESOME and feel sad killer didn't release new songs this year.
everyone else sucks compared to the brilliance of Ronnie's psychadelic drumming, Dave's shop and shocking strings, Mark's slick and sly sounds, and Brandon's valuable vibrant perfect pipes....
Haha! At 4:27, Dave is suppose to be doing the vocals with Brandon! But instead, he's doing it alone, and he makes a face like "yeah, he should be doing this too..."
haha, it seems like sometimes dave might do the beginning "oh oh oh's", but not the later ones. i think he was doing the eye thing in regards to the whole "spaceman" looking down on him thing
well, he said in few interviews that he still gets nervous, especially when they're doing something for tv. He does look nervous at the begging but he seems to get more confident at some point later on. Still, I think it's kinda cute :)
when did the killers transform from the early version of spaceman to the album version?
i've seen some performances from august '08 where it has the different intro, without the oh oh oh, but then i've also seen some from august '08 with the album version. i wonder if the album version was changed when they realized something was missing from the intro.
yo creo que estuvo bastante bien, no perfecto porque hay que reconocer que le cuesta mucho en vivo llegar a los tonos bajos /(aunq no tan bajos) y desafinacion jhay unas 3 pero salva
i kinda like this side of the killers. Slowly over the years, their stuff has started to make less and less sense (which I don't mind). A darker album would definitely be nice but I love this stuff too...
Since im a massive Killers fan i love this performance. The band have definitely changed from Hot Fuss, but i dont see that as a bad thing? I think we would all get a bit bored if they didnt change their theme and sound. We dont want every single one of their songs sounding like Mr Brightside and When You Were Young, so i think that change is good. Everyone has their own opinion though :)
hey man you are so fucking right. i totally agree with you. if they kept their sound the same, i would not be the big fan i am right now. those two songs aren't even great. they're just out played. so. yeah im with you!
i totally argee but i really hope they do something darker, with the 3 albums since hot fuss theyve gotten happier and happier and im hoping there forth album will be something dark like hot fuss, or even more dark :D
I love their music very much, but something about this performance doesn't impress me. I wonder why... I guess i think he could do better. I dun know, Nm, I'll be quiet.
Yeah me to it's kinda weird. There's definatley something mising from this (could it be the guitar volume). I am scared for my life that I won't get away with this comment but: I don't like the new Killers theme with the palm trees and animal stuff. They were at their best when they headlined reading last year please don't kill me :S
Flowers is so amazing, I respect him so much to perform like this even with his confidence issues. He builds as the song does, like at the begining of this song he was all stiff and almost quiet... then he just EXPLODES! I love it!
brandon always looks scared. that's his thing though thats whats cool about him. anyhoo, the crew at jools holland always does a great job with sound and everything. i'd love to get on that someday
Yeah he always looks scared (or shy).. I couldn't find out what was so special about him, but that's it! But don't you think he does that for the show?
i'm a bit sad because few days ago when the official video of this song was released on youtube I could access it and watch it... I even watched it a few hours ago...and now, when I refreshed the page... it was no longer available in my country... :(... ha well... I love the killers anyway, so any version of their songs suits me... especially a live one :)... and btw... this song is amazing !
