You guys obviously dont know the killers, brandon flowers is an amazing singer, and they are even better live than recorded, this was just a while ago...
@InsanityIsNormality actually the singer (brandon flowers) was sick in this performance, apparently.. maybe you should watch another live performance, he really is a fantastic singer, especially more recently.
Their singer sounds absolutely awful in this acoustic version. He's isn't even close to pitch perfect and the acoustic side drives the song in a new, horrible direction.
well, to be fair, he was under the weather with a bad cold. but this was likely brandon's first acoustic appearance; he didn't know how to really sing a song differently than what he was used to.
That changes things then. If this is one of his first, then I can completely forgive him. Performing something in a different way for the first time is always difficult no matter how comfortable he is with the original.
They're vocalist sounds absolutely awful in this. He slightly off on some of his pitches. Its drives the song in a horrible and unsatisfactory direction.
@PaulaMC269 Still is :) Even more so.....if that's possible!! He is gorgeous...especially during the Day & Age tour...with those tight black pants............
I have read that he was very much ill in this performance... As you can see, his face looked flushed and he sweats a lot and his facial expression tells something is really wrong with him... If it was true, then there's no point in criticizing him, however, we should applaud him for being a professional... that is what a true artist is all about... and come on guys, the performance wasn't that bad... The Killers Kill! lol =)
Wow the singer is reeeally stiff lol his vocals are way too loud for an acoustic feel. He's a shouter so he cant sing that particular note quietly. It sounds great in a loud band with all kinds of effects and synths burning up the track.
@Vieted shut up! dont talk shit about The Killers.....they're probably a lot better than you.....it's not like your dave mustaine or eddie van halen or something.
no......this just shows what a average, nothing special, nothing without all the keyboards and effect, crappy singing they are. I like the killers music....this aint it. you can get pissy all you want....i don't care....I just simply stated the fact that they shouldn't of done this. My opinion. If u like it then more power to ya.
@bigtorquehemi ... I think part of it has to do with their relative inexperience as a band back then. Lots of their acoustic stuff nowadays (eg Sam's Town, Romeo and Juliet, etc) are actually quite respectable. Early projects like this one deserve some slack to be cut.
Uhuh i agree :) I love the Mr Brightside acoustic too. Its fecking awesome and fantastic! And the first acoustic i heard from them.. Are there any other acoustic versions? I ask this, and straight after im gonna search for it anyway o.O lol
