  • devils rocks!!!

  • Not going to get involved in the UK-US.origins of The Killers..But I will say ''This band FUCKIN rocks the shit ever song they play''...amazing lyrics..Oh and people, before you enter an argument make sure you know something about the subject you disagree about...Try typing The Killers wiki into google...Thanks for reading

  • Las Vegas is where they are from assholes.

  • my favourite  the killers

  • people need to realize that its better to hate everyone equally, no matter what they are, even your own people, i'm much happier this way :)

  • Oh will you all SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • Is? brandon the fittest man in music like ever ? DANM RIGHT? HE IS! and every one thinks that right? so obviously we all want him to win nme's award for the hottest man in music , SO VOTE BECAUSE HE SHOULD WIN AND EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE'S BEAUTIFUL AND VOTE BECAUSE HE HAS TO WIN , just go onto the nme website and then on awards AND VOTE AND SPRED THE WORD , oh yeah and like the comment so its the top one and every one can see it (please)

    WOOO BRANDON IS SO GOD DAMN H

  • pretty sure they are from England brahs

  • @MrAligaytor You're an idiot.

  • That's music!

  • ...they don't even sound British, what the hell is up with all of these comments?

  • Such a brilliant song

  • Hey, The Killers = Awesomness. If you have a problem with that fact, go back to your Justin Bieber crap and shut up.

  • Daphuck is up with this war of whos music is better? It's all shit so stfu. Only good music the Brits came up with was from late 60's to late 70's after that they can just suck one haha American music kicks ass haha. See how stupid you guys sound?? Geeze all music is good ok as long as its meaningful don't matter where it came from.

  • @FenderGuitarsRock1 I'm not part of this, but...

    "ONLY good music the Brits came up with was from late 60's to late 70's"

    ..."all music is good".

    Bit of a contradiction?

  • GO KILLERS!!!

  • Uh we do realize that this is not the only kind of music people like, right?

  • bands like led zeppelin were influenced by american blues/jazz. bands like the killers were influenced by 80s pop/snyc. Listen to the music people! Keep it INDIE!

  • (8)Higher and higher we're gonna take it, down to the wire we're gonna make it(8)

    brilliant song :)

  • so what if the music is from USA or UK or whatever?? Are you guys going to make another WAR because of that ? It's music, not oil...

  • personi

  • PROUT

    tching a la merguez

  • best bit of the song 3:55

  • Who the hell cares where they are from. Enjoy the music thats all.

  • Most of American music (and i dont mean only from United States but also the whole continent) is horrible from generic pop,pop punk,or "heavy" rock bands to the fucking reageton.I'm not saying that all American music is garbage,you just have to search for the good one :) and the killers are a good example of good,mainstream music.

    The Killers from the UK!? English is not even my main language but at least i can tell when a person has an American or UK accent.

  • I'm yet to find a Killers song I don't like. Or a Brandon Flowers song...they're just too cool!

  • yes, but will it blend?

  • @macscottntosh *facepalm*

  • @zerik12 Well will it?

  • @macscottntosh haha maybe

  • lol i love brits music. Bought this album together with marinna and the diamonds

  • I love this song so much :))

  • Sam's Town is one of the best albums ever, based on the fact that all the songs go together so well.

  • 999 likes? +1 (me) I am the 1000th who likes this song :D

  • This is my favourite song by The Killers. ♥ It's awesome, right?

  • @DevilOfIcecream it took me while to pick my favourite but (inevitably) it was this one

  • Im the kind of man that llten to everykind of music (music not shitty sounds from all decades and different kinds of music because sometimes 1 doesnt fill you like blink 182 rise against peal jam foo fighters stone temple pilots the beatles queen muse sublime lynyrd skynyrd jimmy eat world the beatlesthe fray bon jovi disturbed jonny cash linking park and alot of bands that i like alot but the best are killers i cant believe theyre awesomenes the only song i dont like is get trashed

  • Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Aerosmith, The Doors, the Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Green Day, The Offspring, Sublime, The Killers, Gaslight Anthem, Say Anything, Rise Against, et cetera.

    The truth is the truth resists simplicity. It doesn't matter where you are; there are good bands, and there are shitty bands.

    The Killers, for example, are one of those fucking amazing bands that happen to be American.

  • I love every song of The Killers and Brandon Flowers solo. =')

  • There are bands that I love in spite of the vocals, like the Smiths (no offense Morrissey fans). And then there are bands that I feel are made 10x better than they already are because of the vocals. I love Flowers' voice.

  • In Usa music is more "spectacular", in Uk there there is more soul and less business. This is my opinion from Italy. And my favourite bands are Manic Street Preachers (UK), Muse (UK), Placebo (UK), Pearl Jam (USA) and Foo Fighters (USA)....

  • The Killers if the United States but here most people hear the pop trash, while in the UK if you appreciate good music like that of Killers

  • Don't care where it's from, as long as it's good :3

  • I'm going to have to clear this up seeing as I saw all this start. What was originally said ages ago was "The Killers are the most British American band" and some people just didn't read it properly.

    The Killers are from Las Vegas however and it's been quoted by the band and others that they are heavily influenced by British music and the culture (One reason why the Live Dvd was in the UK) but another point about Brandon is he has a 'fake british accent'. So yeah chill out people and enjoy.

  • @93CHIS93 Agree with where you are going there. I don't think where a band is from is as important as what style/feel/sound they choose to represent in their music. That to me is what makes them "whatever country" type of "rock".

  • @93CHIS93 some of their albums came out first in the u.k or something aswell didn't they ?

  • Proportionately the Killers have a much larger fan base in the UK than the States. >300 million people in the States, approx. 6 million albums sold. 60 million people in the UK (and an ageing 60 million at that) and approximately 5 million albums sold.

    Unfortunately (for those of us from the UK), that doesn't make them British, but I couldn't care less. Let's just appreciate great music no matter where it comes from!

  • Heads up: The Killers are from Las Vegas. (Happens to be in the USA.)

  • Alright, all these pompous British assholes should be informed of The Killers' actual nationality.. heh..

  • The killers are American...

  • A lot of people don't like Sam's Town, but I think it's great. This, Read my Mind, for Reasons Unknown, All the Things I have done, etc. It's great.

  • @atlant80

    "All The Things i have done" is from Hot Fuss ;-) , but you're right Sam's Town is the best !

  • is it me or is the only good part the end......(:

  • @CelloBoy13913 it's just you. but the end is fucking awesome.

  • Can you guys quit talking shit about where they're from?

    They're Americans so just stfu and listen to the amazing song, dumbass.

  • @DeanFricknWinchester We can all agree that the Killers make amazing music. thats all that matters.

  • kick ass song!

    .

    u should try: W a t e r m i nd "From the start" or "Other Side"

    .

    .. it´s worthy it !

  • The guys are from Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. You Brit's have enough good music, give us some credit.

  • They're not from the UK. They're born and raised Americans! <3

  • The Killers are so good all these people think they're British!

  • you cant call The Killers a british band, you cant even compare them. Cause they aren't british. period. 

  • The funniest thing is, is that the majority of the UK music was influenced by the music in america. Primarily rhythm and blues. The Beatles. Led Zeppelin. The Who. The Yardbirds. Cream. Even The Kooks were all influenced by blues. The list just goes on and on. So you guys can say whatever you want about the brits being more meaningful and all that crap but just know, it was american music that influenced them.

  • @pepefiregrinder yeah , but the brits still HAVE the gift america HAD

  • @AugsTube I completely agree with you. The music put out in America today is total crap. I love the music the brits put out. I was merely stating that the older American music was highly influential to the brits.

  • after 3:03 I tear up a little bit

  • They were great but fame corrupts.

  • @darkman4747 how? please reply! ooh i love gossipX

  • 26 people didn't want to know about their kings.

  • the music in the chorus reminds me of something else.. but I don't know what -.-

    anyway, great great great <3

  • how do they sound british?

  • So very Amazing :D i love it with most of my soul

  • so good

  • @Nathan2all97 America produces some outstanding talent, the most recent (in my opinion) are these guy's and KOL. Both are now very commercial but who could ever forget the soul and heart put into their equally LEGENDARY debut album's? If you guy's dont want them just keep sending them over to us :-), but you can keep Justin Bieber....:P

  • man this is probably THE BEST KILLERS SONG!!!!

  • Americanz Rule!!!!

  • this song has been stuck in my head all day :)

  • @davidwebb192 Lucky!

  • When I offer you survival, you say "it's hard enough to live."

  • @nipkonx i feel the same way! not all Americans have shit taste in music.. just a lot of them do

  • I love this song and don't belive that it isn't the best.

  • i love UK music and im american soome of the most meaningful and real artists come from the UK, USA has their head up their ass cause were money hungry celebs trying to make a name and a fabulous memory of ourselves rather than sing from the heart and soul like it should be...

  • @nipkonx your damn right

  • @nipkonx um your fucking gay!! how could you bash on your own country?! i think you're full of it. psssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

  • @cerote54 hehe yeah i shouldnt be....im srry

  • @cerote54 it's not bashing,lol,he's just stating an obvious fact.That's like saying our economy is in the toilet.It's the truth

  • @nipkonx The Killers are American though.. so why would you say this?

  • @nipkonx The Killers are from Vegas. The English only noticed them first.

  • @nipkonx the killers are from nevada!!!! they spent some time in the UK but they are originally from US

  • @nipkonx They are from Las Vegas.

    Yeah.

  • @nipkonx Are you saying you like the Killers or not? They are american..

  • @nipkonx if only freddie came back from the grave...

  • @nipkonx amen to that.

  • @nipkonx The Killers are from Las Vegas...

  • @nipkonx And not a hint of stereotyping!

  • @nipkonx They're not british idiot.

  • @nipkonx -Bright Eyes. -Queens of the Stone Age. -Red Hot Chili Peppers. -White Stripes. -The Flaming Lips. -MGMT. -Jimi Hendrix. -Talking Heads. -Sublime. -Pixies. -Grateful Dead. -Nirvana. -The Velvet Underground. All from America, nothing more needs to be said. Now, with the 22 likes you recieved.... You may have thought it was alright to remove your head from your ass, but you can go ahead and stick it back on up in there.
  • Comment removed

  • @nipkonx except for the fact that The Killers are from the states ahahahahahaha

  • @nipkonx Dude, you took the words right out of my mouth.

  • @nipkonx gb/2 Haterz club. America has had some great artists over the decades. And The Killers are American. So, you're contradicting your statement by being here.

  • @nipkonx You're wrong. I'm British, but some of the most influential artists have been from the USA. The UK isn't perfect. No offense, but I think a lot of Americans idolize the UK, when they know very little about it. We've had our fair share of awful artists. Yes, we've had people like David Bowie and Queen, but that's not all our music. We're not perfect. Plus, The Killers are American. So, you're contradicting yourself.

  • @nipkonx The Killers are from Las Vegas, Nevada.

    lol xD

  • People should stop commenting on Horse Face and on how many people thumb down videos.

  • wow everyone has thumbs up!

  • The killers are heroes i love all their songs i wouldnt be me if i neveer heard em

  • Probably my favorite song by them.

  • Q. Why do some American band's seem love the uk more than the usa?

    A. Because the Brit's love good music!!!

  • @Neil51442

    Let's say Europe, ok? (:

  • @Neil51442 So does America!

  • @Neil51442 well actually in the 90s they were signed by a british company, more for the money than the music on the companies part but yeah.

  • @Neil51442 the first time i heard them i thought they were british!!!

  • @Neil51442 The Killers originated in America...they were just signed by a UK label...It's an American band....

  • @Neil51442 Also everyone is into terrible bands and rap. And songs based on reproduction. It's sad, and I'm sick of it.

    T_T

  • @Neil51442 us Brits also have the best rock ; D

  • @Neil51442 MOST American bands (AND music) SUCK!! :)

  • @nZombi23 The Killers is an american band....

  • @iSwimInMusic I KNOW THAT. I AM THE KILLERS' #1 FAN! :)

  • i love that album cover its so awesome

  • @Fecetious a month old reply :D, but no, Brandon is from Utah, the band is from Las Vegas

  • that last few lines are so beautiful. it's like saying "anyone can hold on for the ride when things are easy. but you'll thank me when you get through this." i can definitely relate to Brandon's situation.

  • what a great track, indeed!!!

  • The beginning sounds kind of like a Pink Floyd song.

  • @themongboy exept that pink floyd suck

  • @Captme1

    your either a troll or an idiot.

  • @AgeOfReclamation no i hate them but that is my opinion

  • Brandon Flower's vocals "it's not so bad" yeah right... It's amazing!

  • which kind of version is this? i think the original from sam's town sounds a bit different

  • @Fecetious brandon was born in vegas but moved to nephi utah then moved back to vegas. 

  • Amazing... SO amazing. I love Brandon's voice. The way he sings each and every line... some of the sounds COULD easily sound crazy, dramatic, overdone, or weird but he makes it flow and sound good

  • aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hi Mom <3!!!!!!!!!

  • No such thing as British, lad! English, Scootish, Welsh 'n Protestant Irish! And you're right, all the same

  • i awoke on the roadside, in the land of the free right... great song by the best band

  • @bobwise2 please sell your computer. there is no excuse for that sort of comment. I don't even know what the hell you just said. you have wasted a small portion of bandwidth to post a message of absolutely no value to the internet.

  • @Exarian no im good =) u cant tell me what to do im 23 and i can do what ever i want (almost)

  • @bobwise2 I doubt a 22 year old would go "I'm almost 23 so you can't tell me what to do"
