[islaeve100]

<333333333333333333333

[szshell]

Wow!!! love your version of one of my favorite songs, and love the beginning :)

[skillzdatkillz900]

brandon says that the dire straits songs don't sound british, but funnily enough i don't think the killers sound american, they sound like a british band to me. hmm, maybe just me lol

[lorenzo152857]

@skillzdatkillz900 indeed, they sound to amazing to be from around here

[ROCKSOLID19]

@skillzdatkillz900 I agree, when I first bought Day and Age I was convinced that they were a British band for 2 months and when I went ont their website, I was shocked and surprised that they came from Las Vegas. Las Vegas does not usually come up on the rock and alt music radar.

[NorcrossMedia]

@skillzdatkillz900 your not alone in that

[HeathyrNasence]

@skillzdatkillz900 LOL I thought they were British too!

[lilymaoas]

@skillzdatkillz900 I started to listen to The Killers because I thought they were English!!

[b24t92]

While i don't like this cover as much as the original (DS version is one of my favourite songs and I'm from the Killers generation), I like the fact these are true fans singing this song in a way that fits their own attitude towards it

[leorodarte]

Loved this song in The Killers Version, sorry Dire Straits, but with them, this song is far better!!

[babadudden]

the looks like nice and humble guys, and its always great to see famous artist honour each other with tribute/covers

[Jrichrocks1214]

LOVE THIS <333333333

[xman342]

i love this!

[brettis87]

Nice but you Cant beat the original!!

[Mr0range92]

Yeah, this isnt acoustic.

[rockbimbo91]

OMG The drummer it's the same as Earl! O.O

[rockbimbo91]

OMG The drummer it's the same as Earl! O.O

[rojasn10]

I am one of the young people that Brandon was talking about

[SpasmodicBrilliance]

Excellent version.

[aaxtubes]

you can tell Brandon really feells the lyrics

[ZNuMbA1GmR]

they did a good job but theyre just not at the same musical level as dire straits

[TimMc333]

powerful lyrics...

[ognam66]

what Brandon said at the start about appealing to younger fans... completely right! I now love the original song, and I love the Killers even more than before ^^

[jennface011]

im in love with this song<3

[adamnfoool]

do you know what acoustic is roland? this isn't it.

[auto4union]

The Killers have another new fan.... ! Cool guys also ! Great that the guy that plays Earl (Karma etc ) has time to be the drummer in a successfull band ! Peace Ye`all !!

[jennface011]

@auto4union the drummer is not jason lee which is the guy who plays earl in "my names earl" its a complete different guy!!!!! but ohmygod they loookkk soooooo ALIKE! so the confusionis understandable.....

[auto4union]

@jennface011 I know sweetheart ! Just a joke ! Are you American? I understand you lot dont get sarcasm ! Anyway, Peace to you baby ! Great TASTE by the way !! Luv fi Scotland !! PS. So glad I came across this ! The Killers are great and cool guys !

[jennface011]

@auto4union nope not american(:

&yess the killers are uhhmazinggg<3

[bean175]

Beautiful love song...

[brockhouse98]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!

[gentmartin]

here here Dods !! well put mate, i totally agree !!

[spiderbazz]

You guys absolutely nailed it! I'm a dj and I play it at my venue nearly every night.  Is that an SM58 you're using on lead vocals?

[RadChik13]

I think Brandon's voice is AMAZING and that it goes perfect with the sound and the lyrics of this song(:

[runtmc3]

Sorry, very good effort... but Mark rules!

[Brendan3875]

How about some more covers. This was just great.

[cdphatty]

very admirable cover

[Inakki1981]

The Killers have stolen my heart!!!!! That's one of that few times that the cover deserves to be listened =D (NOTE: I hate covers.... and I love that one!!)

Thanks to give your point of view Killers!!!!

[LoveAPonytale]

Yes....I LOVE even the Killers.....LOVE NEVER DIES..........Romeo & Juliet.........will be together/forevA+

With True Love..........That's Just the WAY IT IS

[bananaphoneXP]

beautiful :)

[bbigmac25]

amazing cover, love the killers, love this version

[wess74]

not mark but still good job

[wess74]

not mark but good job

[soorajprasad]

Good work.

[JaneeAddy]

I think Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits are music gods and I rarely like remakes but this band does a very fine rendition. Kudos!

[mely8hany]

awesome cover, but the original is AMAZING! i had actually never heard it before, but a couple of weeks ago i made a vow to listen to every killers song ever made and i stumbled onto this one and so i listened to the original and after a couple of listens fell in love with it. I listen to it just about everyday now, so Brandon fulfilled his quest by opening up the dire straits to me :)

[thekillersph]

great cover! well done the killers

[couturecutie367]

This cover is so stunning..The Killers did an amazing job with this :D

[MrYayex360]

NICE SONG¡¡¡¡ ^_^

[vickydonnelly]

fantastic cover loved it

[martykate]

Too much talking and guitar doesn't even come close to Knofpler's. Can't sing it like MK does either. Some songs are just sacred--this is one

[pureDARKbeatz]

dire straits did it first--

[riccardo259]

who did the original

[couturecutie367]

Dire Straights :D

[dogswick]

Ha! was brandon on earl hickey's list ?!!

[sidekickx1]

exactly; #157: stolen identity of cool drummer guy ;D

[lorrization]

he looks like earl of my name is earl!!!

[Irenuni]

@lorrization HAHAHA IVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THE SAME!!!!

[sarkabenesova]

this song is so beautiful, i love Brandon's voice!

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

I agree about the dire straits sounding Australian lol I don't listen to them a lot but I assumed the were haha

[guitargod543]

this isnt acoustic

[specializedconst]

Boys, You did it justice. And I am a big fan of Mark Knopfier. And it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Thanks for the ear full and the goose bumps.

[MackABeenY]

btw u guys do know this is live right? he sounds amazing ya'll are gay lol

[CaptainKubla]

This is basically Kareoke.When you cover a song.....The idea is to bring something new to it? What do they bring to the table?

Answer......Fuck all. Its a good pub cover, In fact no, I have heard far superior covers by tribute bands in pubs in England....No word of a lie.

What a load of fucking shit, no originality brought to it, all the inflections are the same!. (PS I quite like the killers, but this is crap )

[MackABeenY]

fuck off then lol why hate on a band u like?

[garfreeek]

have you listened to bryan at the begining?! he wanted to introduce this song (and the dire straights) to fans of the killers....it worked too ^_^

[Niels644]

Dire Straights? Really...

It's not that they want to prove they're heterosexual by saying it in the name.

Just Dire Straits.

[garfreeek]

sorry i was tired as hell, i even mispelled brandon as "bryan" xD

[yoseproductions]

@CaptainKubla you negative ned ;)

[wileypayote]

no he was right it doesn't do it justice, but it's not bad. It's just that the original is so good. It's weird that this band would cover direstraits, they seem like such a retro pop/alternative band and their music sound like the smithereens or something, or something off the pretty and pick album. Not that I have it, but have seen the movie.

[aldairzinho10]

i thought they cancelled my name is earl; jk, great cover

[clauderoubillie]

sounds of australian desert

[pgfizzleboy]

This cover is amazing. The killers definitely out-do themselves for this. Not as good as the original, but it rocks the pants off the Indigo Girls' cover.

[moach]

so far, nobody has beat the Indigo Girls on this song. It's practically the only time I listen to the Indigo Girls. They blew this song out of the stratosphere.

[StradJoe]

Both versions of the song are truely great, hats off the the dire straits for creating the masterclass and hats off to the killers for doing the cover more than justice. We should all appreciate the greatness of the song and lyrics rather than being fussy which version is superior!

[MZ0007]

What a load of Wubbish!

[an651m]

Dire Straits ftw

[dave39on40]

Della? You exploxed in my heart!!!

[drewsnooze85]

Good job.... excellent cover and I like that they just simply covered it instead of mutilating it in the process.... much respect

[GeordieAndyB]

Not a killers fan but what a great effort,excellent guys wtg

[tomholt112233]

very good effort, nice to see that these songs are beng re introduced to a younger generation

[Giulin92]

Love it!<3

[Benibubus]

beautiful:)

[Greendogvilla]

An honest beautiful effort guys.... TY Killers>>>> Awesome.

[sjmac08]

Wow...that sounded great

[dodsonrh]

I'm a die hard Dire Straits fan - from the beginning - lots of feeling in this cover as well as humility in the interview - the Killers have a new fan.

[DanTheMan0909]

I am sure that the old Dire Straits guys would appreciate this effort. It is a cover with a solid amount of feel and consideration behind it. A beautiful addition to the legacy of Dire Straits!

[crowie1978]

Also i think the piano makes this track. Sounds pretty f***ing amazing to me

[crowie1978]

The killers have taken one of the greatest love song of all time and made it their own. I will always love the knopfler version and it will always be one of the most amazing songs i've ever heard. However, this version shows how much the killers love this song themselves, and want to do it justice for themselves as much as anyone else. SUCCESS i say!!!

[LazyScott99]

what's he talking about "might not do it justice" that was exceptional and I'm actually starting to like the killers lol.

[briinxx]

then you exploded in my heart <3

love this song&Dire Straits&Killers...

thanks for uploading (:

[qVICKYq]

Dave's guitar sounds amazing!

[bassplayer54]

Good cover version but it aint acoustic

[bubblerockchick]

Beautiful <33

[nzomega1]

Everyone should listen to Dire Straits!

One of the best songs there is. The beginning part does do Dire Straits and Mark justice.

Cheers.

[almajanemoss]

Mega Song!!

[Tiri1933]

Dire Straits!!!!

[onurerk]

Acoustic or not, who cares?! It's a great cover of a wonderful song. Just enjoy it.

[LuvStruckRomeo]

REMINDER, lilmisscapulet <3

[Amiibee123]

this just made me love this killers more.. for not murdering one of my all time favourite songs.. for not funking it up or rocking it out.. for just singing it the way its meant to be sung.. I tip my hat to you Brandon Flowers..

[AwesomeWolverine]

This isn't acoustic.

[Guenda]

how can you say that?

[AwesomeWolverine]

It's the exact same version as the original, therefore it's not acoustic version, it's just the original version.

[Guenda]

it's not the original version cause it's played by The Killers and not by Dire Straits. And actually it IS acoustic cause both used acoustic instruments. that's it.

[AwesomeWolverine]

If it is specifically noted to be an acoustic version, then there has to be an original. And look at 0:35 or 3:39.

[FalineFrench]

I love that Brandon's wife made him his blue tie thingy, and he wore it. What a man. I love their love. :)

[samedjohn]

Bass guitarist=Jesus

Guitarist=Marc Bol

Brandon Flowers=Robert Smith (just the voice)

Drummer=Earl from My Name Is Earl

I love the killers and i love the song as well, they did this well :)

[phrkal]

hahaha good call

[dannyredcar]

the original is better but still not that bad of a cover

[owens377]

the drummer looks like earl from my name is earl lol good song

[sheila37]

ive always thought this! i even thought he was the same guy... he isnt is he? O.O

[Niels644]

That's a pretty great cover, though it isn't better than the original in my opinion. But still, I had not expect it to be as good as this when I heard of the Killers covering a Straits song.

[definite01]

Super...great cover

[sl0616]

Good band to cover a great song ,sounds great.He He HA HA Love it

[dave39on40]

Della, I love you...

[inluvwithyou0808]

beutiful, f*** you if you dont like this.

[rayben2884]

fuck you for saying that idiot

[drainbead08]

one of the best songs ever made

and one of the best bands ever

[maikyjoe]

sounds like.... um....CRAP?

[williemays2073]

wow you must be tone def if you think this is crap this is such a great song you deserve to be shot if you think this is crap

[suggsintheboro]

how is this acoustic?..........it's also very poor. I love the killers but there are just some songs you don't cover

[averyj]

Very well said.

exactly, it's the not acoustic, it's almost the same way Dire Straits performed it. you just don't touch R&J.

[manrayyy333]

mM friend who just touched Chris Martin also has tickets to see the Killers. Crazy life.This song makes me want to be young again more than anything!

[noneshero]

I agree with the person below me! I hated The Killers I call that crap Abercrombie Punk! But seriously they did an amazing job covering such a classic song! If you can play this song and sing it and still do it justice, I tip my hat to you! This is coming from a huge Dire Straits fan. My mom told me that when I was a baby she would rock me to sleep to this song and that was 24 years ago! I have literally been listening to them since I was born!! I am very impressed!

[hampden12]

sounds like yir still sookin' a dummy

[olddudeonalongboard]

Well done. I no longer despise the Killers.

[Ituniaaa]

Absolutely blew my mind.

Congratz The Killers.

x

[fdom6776]

I don't think one could say which version is better; I like them both, this is such a great song. Both are beautiful.

I did not know the Dire Straits version, I heard Killers' version first, I got impressed and I thought "Well these guys (the killers) are so talented!" Then I happened to know it was a cover. I am also a Dire Straits fan since then! hehe.

[eduardoqmendes]

yes, it's acoustic!

[Ajisathespian]

No its not...

[GKongTaurant]

k im probably gonna get a lot of thumbs down but i honestly think this is better than the original

[dansmith859]

not acoustic

[ionamann]

i loved this song the first time i heard it. i never thought anyone could do it justice until i heard this version. the vocals make up for the lack of knopfler's guitar skills. great cover, killers!

[LuvStruckRomeo]

I am just another flower in the field without my Juliet!

Does she love me or love me, not?

[samsco1208]

Growing up, Dire Straits were it!! Making Movies was the ultimate album. it is so good to see/hear a fantastic young band, pay tribute and record this song. I am now a Killers fan!! Striking rendition, well done.

[Allissa7694]

I love this song its so AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keepsmilingstripes]

Hey junior B6

Y don't u practice what u preach n keep your thoughts to yourself

2.maybe your the one that's fat if u hav the time to comment to every thing you see.

3.malaria? That's just your own weird hang up, man.

And uh, oh yeah , best wishes.

[ionamann]

i never thought anyone would be able to do this song justice, but the instrumental simplicity combined with the frickin' awesome emotion that was put into the vocals - i was obviously wrong. =)

[an9004]

loveeeeeeeeeeeee it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tigertilda]

this song is som beautiful I love it.

[keepsmilingstripes]

"when you gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong?" that line means so much to me. I won't see him for a little over a year, I guess this song will be my only connection to him. This is going to be a long year. I really love this song, I think brandon flowers should change his name to Martin. It suits him better.

[vivianomoganau]

Lyrics were written by Mark Knopfler, the One. In 1980. Best wishes...

[juniorB6]

Keep your thoughts to yourself Bleedy McHeart.

I just shed a tear, from my arse.

You sound fat and you look lonely.

It's because of people like you that Aids and malaria kill so many.

Follow your dreams, I hope it all works out with your man.

All the best.

[DarkeRlml]

it´s just everything she was to me.....

and i hope i`ve been like this to her....

and i miss her...

this is for her...

[redirectingpoppy]

its great, its not acoustic though

[xlozzielouloux]

and BRANDON !!!!!!!!!!!!

[killersgirl1234]

SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE BRANDON!

[notkroqer2]

Brandon Flowers has one of the most beautiful voices ever.

[svabicurda]

Hahaha great one! XD

[SybellaFey]

actually--I like this cover more then any other I have heard including the original... I have always loved this song--but, this one takes the Cake!

[adilazarov]

there isnt better song than that

[Brairs]

This is a great cover indeed, but it just doesn't sound the same as the Night in London version, that one is still my favourite... but great cover none the less!

[dizzykipper08]

im impressed

[jcamers]

well he did it justice !

[Louwen82]

Agreed

[krazylilme19]

iim goinngg to marry this bandddd

[mercurymaytaylor]

AMAZING!!!

maybe the killers should do: Sultans of Swing?

[Turnschuh90]

that would be interesting =)

[Katzenfreundin]

Don't know the original but I love this version.

[soccerdude98]

But of course, the original is better. right? :-)
