The Killers : Reading 2008 - Mr Brightside

[HaNnAhBhAm]

They have GOT to be there this year! They're getting a new album out so I'm keeping my hopes up!!!

[craigsinger86]

probably the best festival i have been too so far!

[shonaiscool20]

This is insane! haha there I am!!! at 1 minute 48 seconds singing 'it was only a kiss' and there i am again at the end saying 'mint yeah' i'm such a geek. ha. stood there for 11 hours!

[afcbrule]

everyone loves this song! like if you fucking love this song!!

[MsShannonfraser]

i have never met anyone who doesnt like this

[dellinger08]

One of my favorites

[xskelevra7x]

One of the best songs of the era and ultimately one of the best bands.

[Pittguy2012]

@1:15 I would

[GloriousBrilliance]

DESTINY IS CALLING ME

[iDSalsa]

The best performance for the best music!!!!

[Grimberg1995]

BEST LIGHTS SHOW OF THE KILLERS

[DannyVainOfficial]

Cant beleive I was here... i was with my now ex. Cant watch this... :(

[decg33]

To get the crowd to sing EVERY.SINGLE.WORD of that song is absolutley incredible. This is and always has been my favourite song for a reason!

[maloking]

amazing quality.

[Kapiwolf123]

fuck, you can hear the crowd singing in the background every word, if u listen closely. fucking beauitful

[raztarfarih]

@marwood03 now i hate this song when they played this i was walking behind the main arena trying to find summit good that was playing. i can understand why all these diluded youths can enjoy this music so much but just remember Radiohead Muse The datsuns the vines and such like who wrote awsome music man!

[AmaneSuganami]

They're so tight!

[neogoth2012]

This one of the best I've been too. The Killers were AWSOME.

[jamesboughtacab]

The Killers were amazing...Hot Fuss is perhaps my favourite indie album of all time, its such a shame that their recent stuff hasn't been nearly as good :/

[marwood03]

@jamesboughtacab Brandon said in an interview that TK are going back to their roots for the next album and basically ditching the Day & Age sound, deep down I think they know that musically, the Hot Fuss & Sam's Town sound is what made them. Their aim should be to write something better than Mr B, Midnight Show, ATTTID, When You Were Young or Read My Mind, also, Brandon has said he "saved an ace" regarding a song from his solo album, and using it on the next Killers album, the next Mr B maybe?

[ccbc23]

i love how brandon changes his style.

from 04 glasto in the striped polo, to 05 glasto all dressed up with the guyliner, to 07 glasto with the yellow suit and the mustache, to this, 08 reading with his new "clean cut" look, to 09 royal albert hall, with his amazing pheasant jacket. can't wait to see what his new style is. hopefully get a glimpse by the years end, or if at worse, 2011. if we go by the delay of the end of sam's town tour, and the day & age tour, we'd see them again in early '11.

[marwood03]

@ccbc23 Not now with Brandon's solo album and tour, they could start writting and recording at the end of 2011 with a summer 2012 release of studio album 4, I hope I'm wrong though, it really depends how much of a break Brandon needs after his solo album touring.

[slyster941]

@marwood03 i doubt brandon needs a break, hes like a little work aholic he is bless him! i hope the killers come back with a new album real soon im dying to see them!

[oliverthomasdyer]

waited so long for them to come on stage after bloc party but it was completely worth it. By far the performance of the weekend for me!

[VacantOccupation72]

hell, yes. mmm.

[youmadatme]

i realized

after each line

hes always gasping for some breath

[sobmadrox]

@youmadatme yeh because there is no audio technician on a computer to get rid of those bits....

[DDydly]

@youmadatme that makes him so symphatic-

[scissorsandink]

@youmadatme It adds to the song and over analysis aspect of being jealous ^.^

[MrDomonin]

@youmadatme

you must be high to realize that

[jencatshow]

First 10 seconds- Dave's head

Gotta love the Killers!

[guitarforlif]

I bet dave is soooo drunk

[marwood03]

This set was good, but The Killers Day and Age tour at festivals this summer has been nothing short of epic, if you haven't watched them at TITP, Oxegen or V you are missing out.

[MoNgO0s3]

i love that crazy drummer dude! :D

[sadiexxg]

this could be the best atmosphere to a song i have ever seen.

killers were amazee.

[skatenollie]

PERU PERU PERU ¡

[TheVideoDisc]

the crowd turn crazy when they started this song...

[lostroxanduknowit]

if i only i could c them live... i so wish they would come back to seattle! its actually a pretty fun city

[speedcomeback]

y eso que ya vienen a lima el 19 de noviembre XD

[aspablo]

eih yo fui al concierto en roma del 14 de julio estuvo buenaso

no puedo creer k vayan a lima!!!!! xD

[ajiyajiy]

I like this song !!! They are awesome !!

[Alesanafreaks]

wie geil !

[MegaMuffin4568]

i tried to close this box like 3 times, but i just couldnt bring myself to look away from all the glory :)

[youmadatme]

is tht sharapova ?????

[davicente]

i don´t think so xD

[marwood03]

Quite easily the best song of the 2000's

[kloaStoawonga]

haha thats funny, maby ur right maby not i would say in my head from queens of the stoneage is, and than every body would start to post his favorite song from 2000 till now

[xbox9788]

totally agree

its my favorite song of the 2000's

it still listen to this song everyday lol

its my alarm clock hahaha

[01mhall]

mr marwood any muse song is more better than this and no where near to been the best is a good song that got lucky.

[marwood03]

@01mhall ANY Muse song!?, I don't think so, that statement isn't very creditable.

[MuSiCsNeAkErS]

@marwood03 quite easily the best song ever written x

[ThePsychologie]

The Killers... AWESOME!

[xLilymuffin]

I wish a girl would cover this and sing Miss.Brightside :)

Ahh! I love the kILLERS! :D

[luvena07]

love it

[skiri987]

This performance is AMAZING!

[DeadPixel00]

What genre would you classify The Killers as? I think they have definately moved out of the Indie label, and probably more Alternative. Not sure to be honest..

[yoyoyo348]

neo post punk

[YRMNH]

Great word .... I'm Mr Brightside TOO!)

[YukikoHideki]

that's a one big hi-hat

[Beefluggs]

all his cymbals are huge its ridicules

[Knightoftheorient]

Was that Sharapova in the crowd lol :) looked like her!

[frobidoug]

the killers are poo, thier 1st album was SOOO good on of my fave albums ever, but after that, they just became shit, with like 2/3 good songs to come from their next 3 albums,

[ScrubberJ66]

Exactly what i think, they're just turning into a pile of crap...

[amazingidiot]

you'll get over it

[7702id]

they are good

[lilsennitt]

That is crazily hard on guitar. the intro i mean

[Craigi360]

They have more than one guitar playing

Its much easier acoustically

[chaoticspear]

It actually really is quite difficult :P took me a while to get the hang of it... Dave is a very capable guitarist when you see past all this 'indie guitarists suck' bullshit.

[Theocl]

its tricky you just have to get your fingers used to odd positions... but yeah

[V1NT4G3x]

(L)

[Jordcrush]

im goin to see these in Hyde Park XD

[EruptionINmyPants]

the distortion on the guitar is pretty nice here

[mintyninty21]

EPIC

ANTHEM

[RawrZombieXxX]

This was amazing!!!

[xfuxu]

awesome!

[spudgungladiator]

absolute anthem of the naughties

[JosephS2008]

so true.... its a classic!!!! will never get old!!!

[annamaria285]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[VacantOccupation72]

[scienceguyJ]

Holy Jesus I love your momomomom.

[caligirl2191]

that's a good one

you're funny guy

[VacantOccupation72]

hey that is a good one

-eh

[beng1lh00ly]

Ronnie is the best drummer around atm.

[scienceguyJ]

Yeah just like your mum is the best dick around.

[beng1lh00ly]

I'm glad you agree with me about Ronnie (you said "yeah") but as my mother isn't a "dick" I'll have to disagree with you on the second part of your comment.

[keviwevi]

fucking aye! :D

[frobidoug]

the killers and bloc party should of being the other way around. bloc should of headlined

[Pancakesatthedisco]

its true bloc party are more headline material i stayed through half the killers set though

[shaydenbassist]

but then you wuld be like fucked for bloc party

you'd want as much energy as possible for bloc haha ;P

[frobidoug]

haha, its good to be fucked, but bloc party are a band you want to really listen to, so youd just have to hope youd of come down abit when bloc are on :)

[Jazb123]

they were fucking amazing

[oliverthomasdyer]

I wanna go back!!!!!!!!!!!

[sluffy85]

Seeing them tonight with Coldplay, woo hoo! can't wait!

[BRODEURizDABOMB]

i cant wait to go to their concert on april 26th....its gonna be so fuckin awesome! KILLERS 4 EVA!

[TrYxXsEn]

The killers .... yeah i go there at the 6 March 2009 in Munich

[LeBolzOfSteel]

Great Song.. haha..

[TacoDeLaOslo]

Epic!

[edwardh40]

because its in reading england but you say it like reding

[ouchbalaboui]

Amazing performance, according to me, their first album was their best! By the way, why is it call : Reading Festival?

[26scottfaze]

first album was amazing since then they went downhill but got more and more famous.

[19Aussie92]

Yeah, I completely agree. "Are we human or are we dancer", what the hell is that about.

[foxheadspeed]

god thank you!!! that annoys me man. Brandon appealing to the teen ballet dancer that have a crush on him.

[Mckanii]

great concert, awsome sound quality.

I like their performance in 2007 T in the park more tho :) They just lived up a bit more on stage then

[dakshman]

not really into killers but this was a good set

[tib1702]

I really am not a killers fan so i went to see gallows instead but i can honestly say i wish id seen this and when you were young cos they are two massive tunes

[PushingPies]

LOL! 1:22 - Sun shining out of Daves ass - litrally. Sorry, couldn't resist.

[jaffacake18]

definately the best song of fest!!

[snare123]

no.

didnt see any of rage at all then?

[tib1702]

Yeh agreed. Apart from all of rages set. O and qotsa set. And Cancer bats. And Flogging molly. And Gallows. And dropkick murphys. And Serjs set. And Dizzee. And Feeder. And Tenacious D cant forget them. Also forgot Metallica as well. Apart from that i couldnt agree more....

[maruree]

Great night. Some stranger hunks took me and my friend on their shoulders, so we got great view :)

[Paraflash]

i saw them few days later in austria on a festival but it wasnt that good, even tough i LOVE the KILLERS

[hellomimi25]

oh im so jealous, that looked like an amazing concert, and of course my brandon looked gorgeous as always. oh god i love him =)

I LOVE THE KILLERS!!!

[Brainstewmess]

It was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was out of this world.

[bittersweetcatherine]

oh my that was without a doubt the best weekend of my life, RAGE! This was the highlight by far :)

[fnsuper]

maldoomedz im with you on the 'off your face on mdma!!! haha

[rossmcdonald4]

Its all the people who whine and cry about the festivals noise who live there.....its three days a fucking year!!! Makes them enough money but still whine about the noise

[MaldoomEdz]

fuck the council for making the volume to low, i was off my face on mdma though so it was sick from what i remember.

[tudotough]

You know how great this was because Mark actually moved

[amairaniflowers]

the killers los amo en especial a mi brandon flowers

[dizzinicol]

who was there up front with me shouting

TURN IT UP!! TURN IT UP!! TURN IT UP!!

Cant believes theres a volume restriction on the main stage fucking stupid!!

[scaleboy22]

this was an amazing night :D credit to them it sounded awesome, spine tingels when i hear it, yes it really was that good :D

(this is coming from a dissapointed Ax7 fan because they pulled out, contrast in music taste i know)

[k8iedirecter]

I have seen Arctic Monkeys muse and the killers and tbh I think fare enough muse musicaly are alot better than all three live however brandons aura and stage presence combined with his sparkly numbers cannot be ignored as major crowd pleasers....in my opinion Arctic Monkeys arn't worthy of being compared to either of the other two bands, they do not match up to the sound quality of muse live or the voice of brandon flowers

[ComeToTheBrightsideX]

Oh yes, oh, no no no no! *spine tingles* Ahhhh

[ComeToTheBrightsideX]

ooohh my spine is tingling...

[willyward19]

I give sbliar a credit for being honest, hey freedom of speech right? U guys, umm...dancing on pegs? if you cant stomach negative comments i would suggest u should go and visit your gradeschool again. I like the killers, i've seen them live twice. They are not the greatest band out there, but they are ok for their genre. Gotta agree with sbliar about the Hulk thing though LOL.

[DancinOnPegs]

i was it this reading and killers put on a really good show.nothin more could be asked for the thousands simply wantin to get blown and have fun.

sbliar, have you been HEADLINING any major festivals lately? oh no? didnt fuckin think so. comment something where people will actually care about your say. killers arent my favourite band from a long shot. but the two festival headline slot appearances iv seen them. they can do it and do it fokin well. fair play to them

[sbliar]

the drummer looks like Hulk.

[ComeToTheBrightsideX]

No he doesn't! Ronnie is really cool, dont be mean!

[sbliar]

Brandon looks like a stupid church boy. He wants to be cool so bad, it does not work that way. Either you are cool or you are not. In his case, no matter what he does he will still be this insecure moronic wanna-be. The Killers suck. They "try to" imitate The Cure and Morrissey. The Killers should change their name to Wannabes. And their lyrics are so infantile (somebody told me you have a boyfriend looks like a girlfriend?????)lmao. SAD....................

[BabyBoyBoom]

Redsox, Muse and Arctic Monkeys are MUCH MUCH better live than Killers, but I do suppose that the Killers have improved their live act. Surprised me quite a bit. Really good quality live performance. Great job!

[snappypappy1871]

i agree muse wer the best reading evr but killers second

[up4theparty]

one of the best performances ever of mr brightside i think personally. I've seen a few too.

[JordanConlin]

whats happened to earl!! HE HAS NO TASCHE!! SAY IT AINT SO... EVERYONE!!!!!

[Redsox07rbeast]

amazing. Not only was it a great song, but this is the first band in the 21st century that doesnt suck live!!! its amazing. lol

[frenzi15]

brandon woz brill at reading!can't wait for royal albert hall november 3rd!!!!!!!!!!!sandra.

[ComeToTheBrightsideX]

You were there? ME TOOOOO! I was in the east choir block ;) BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!

[up4theparty]

F'in Tune

[imedarooler]

I like how he's singing in the Hot Fuss style that he recorded this song with. I know that in past live shows, he sang Mr. Brightside with a deeper, "rounder" voice he used with Sam's Town.

Can't wait for the new album!

[loridesta]

if you were playing to thousands and thousands of people wouldn't you be shaking? and then theres what millions watching them on SNL.

[zukomukomomo]

does he hav parkansins desease? idk how to spell it but ive seen him on SNl playing human and he was shaking a lot

[mrsginabrightside]

no he does not have parkinsons you idiot.

[MrSnowman786]

Its Parkinsons disease IDIOTS !

[Redsox07rbeast]

No no, thats just his form of dancing... Jeese, dont insult brandons awesome style

[zukomukomomo]

i didnt kno, ppl say he has that

[gomen91]

he sang so much better here then

during the sam's town era =]

i heard he quit smoking

could that be the reason

his voice is so great??

[djostreet2]

possibly it'd be good if he did

[xchloe1x]

hes started again now

[sabitanclip]

i don't like how he sings it here

[Marauder501]

What, you mean like every other time he sings?

[Meloennimo]

ohh yes, ohh no, no, no !

love him !

[SpacePyjamas]

marks beard is kick ass! xD

[Crinni1]

yeah the sound on main stage was a bit naff all weekend... friday was shocking! couldnt hear any vocals! Friggin' love these guys tho. Want to be back

[deepz1209]

These lads were quality at Reading! well at the front it sounded amazing.

[BrownieSyndrome]

BUTT SCRATCHER!!

[sfcmitch01]

haha memories!

[ComeToTheBrightsideX]

same! if you listen closely, you can hear my voice!! Joking :P such lovely memories of the best day of my life. i took some paper confetti and stashed it in a little box :)

[slipeheron]

ronnie at 3.03 to 3.07 amazzing!!!

[lorrypants]

i dont know what you lot were on about i thought they were brilliant, me and my mates had such a good night, deffinently the most fun we had.

[Sids88]

fucks sake the only reason they were quiet is cos the council told them to turn the volume lower but it was so quiet no one at the back could hear and even people at the front were shouting to turn it up, and it got so rediculous that they had to turn it up later in the set. know what your fucking talking about before you slag someone off

[lors999]

totally disagree, the sound was a bit dodgy, but the atmophere, the effort and passion the band had lifted the volume up, loved it!

[slipeheron]

lol..ur wrng ...look at ronnie..!! does he look like someone who does not want to be there? and the rest of the band?

[lors999]

i'm wrong? who said the band didn't want to be there? :s

[hippiedude0]

they were poor at reading

they didnt look like they wanted to be there and the sound was rubbish and too quiet

[majicrabbit]

maybe the sound was a bit low, but it wasnt there fault, it was reading council who put a court order to. apart from that they were brilliant. i was by the sound desk and i could hear just fine. dont be so negative! they definitely wanted to be there, just look at them in the video! shutup your face.

[kinetix2006]

i thought they were terrible , but this song was awesome

[rbeer37]

i am a gr8 killers fan

but tbh they were awful at reading

me and my friend walked off after this song

[sarcasmmister]

were you expecting alot more new stuff cos i was

[joereidy3]

yea i was. shud have substituted stuff from sawdust for a few new ones.

[joereidy3]

bullshit. at the front it was awesome

[XmaXimilianX]

agreed. I will never forget it :)

[17pmr]

AMAZING!!!!! I was there and screaming! Love The Killers so much - especially this song!

[BrownieSyndrome]

BUTT SCRATCHER!!

[mogs9999]

BUTT SCRATCHER!!

[91et13]

soooo good...

[lorrypants]

haha, but scratcher!

[Bailey808]

i was right next to the devon flag at the front was awesome!! i have to agree possibly the greatest song ever

[reptilia82]

love it !!!!!!!!!!!!
