[GucciBurr37]

Brandons not even singing...

[emokiller907]

Worst... cover... ever...

[TattyBobble]

worst version ive heard........bit disapointed in killers

[Misanthrope669]

worst cover ever

[FrenchDonovan]

Well, it's true that this version is the most crap I've heard on youtube but stop shit about The Vines or The Killers. They are both better with their songs

[angelcede88]

Fuck i hate the way mr VINES destroyed this song, fuckin idiot fuck fuck fuck! You suck, I hope Paul hasn't listened to you ¬¬ .

Brandon, you're the man.

[noelchris]

wank cover



[GreekstyleU]

[rasboi]

Who is the asshole screaming ? I hope that is not Brandon

[raw2is2jose]

drunk xDDDD

[MrLis1989]

FAILFAILFAILFAILFAILFAILFAILFA­ILFAILFAIL

[bohssslad]

outstraight thats fucking awful, check out flowers solo version to prove that the killers "support" fucked up so so badly.

[rotuarg]

WTF! this horrible. Que mal canta ese wey! Es una veruenza :S

[XLStress]

The one who was screaming and with the really bad singing was NOT Brandon Flowers. It was the Vines lead singer. So why the fuck are people saying it was The Killers who killed this song.

[tpud94]

so fucking terrible

[Newbomb83]

Terrible

[Sergioterol]

Could they do it any slower and worse?

This is lames fail at an epic win song....

[kekelo3]

FAIL

[auloniadunolwen]

Killed the song... One of the worst cover I've ever heard

[Bullock1991]

Right as much as I love The Killers, this is dreaful. It doesn't help that he isn't capable of singing it...

[edub77]

Wow how does this video not have more views?

[dacal23]

the guy can´t reach the notes.

[lester5192]

no they didn't. they stole this from motley crue. 

[karlosed]

@lester5192 WTF?

[puckgirl22]

@lester5192 are you kidding me? There is a famous band called THE BEATLES and this son was written by Paul Paul McCartney....

[puckgirl22]

@lester5192 are you kidding me? There is a famous band called THE BEATLES and this son was written by Paul Paul McCartney....

[danwilsonviper]

@lester5192 FAIL!

[hillinger1]

Brandon' voice is so amazing in this kind of song, looks like he about to explode at 1:55 to 2:05, so fucking hot.

[scaires2]

dude i love the beatles and the orginal version of the song but i like the killers alot and they did a good job!

[spoonman23]

Great voice and energy by Mr. Brandon Flowers

[blah3189]

@spoonman23 just 'cause they yell, doesn't mean there's enegry

i think this version's horrible

was expecting more from the vines

killers, not so much

[Hubertoooso]

U2 cover is best

[Eljatheheartless]

Okay, the killers really raped this song...

[gerardrock182]

wtf!! fuck you brandon flowers! and your shitty band !!!!

this is an horrible cover

[ccbc23]

@gerardrock182

this is hardly the killers really, the vines dude sings, and kinda really sucks

[Tobunshi]

Oh God, I like The Killers. But what the hell? This is horrific and embarassing.

[totalignoranceinc]

@Tobunshi i can tell you brandon isnt singing this shit it has to be craig nichols

[Tobunshi]

@totalignoranceinc

But even the instrumentals are extremely sloppy.

[JASONANDTRACI]

Satanic music , wake up people, to the satanic/masonic conspiracy for your souls.

Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life.

[BL80488]

@JASONANDTRACI The song came first. Manson then used it as a reason to kill.

[ccbc23]

@JASONANDTRACI

lol really?

[Ariosvaldo670]

The kids are allright!!...

[LoLoyaa]

i preferr the original

[pauu1616]

sounds good of course their nothing like the beatles but yeah nice cover.

[BigJohnWoody]

Strangely, this reminded me of one of those awful Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame performances where they have everyone and their cousins on the stage for a massive big sing-song. Even with George Harrison, Bruce Springsteen, Jeff Beck, etc. it was awful. So what would you expect with these three bands? Exactly.

Everyone is just too busy being excited about watching the other or too wrapped up in their own thing to do the music justice.

To be fair, though, this isn't really hi-fidelity audio.

[GuerillaRadioGR]

parody

[Pure7pazaak]

@RoadhouseSkelter

I was proven wrong about 3 weeks ago, mate

[jimmysere]

This is awful.

[EricaEther]

Two of the sexiest men on the planet rockin' an epic performance. I want to be the meat in that pretty boy sandwich.

[TedMcGinley89]

i think everyone is being a bit too hard on this performance..the energy is good and Brandon Flowers definitely sounds great.

[ROCKYRACCON01]

¡¡QUE ASCO!!

[sacrifyce4]

wow this is terrible

[rory09]

This man can't sing

[DrakrSlyr]

i love the killers but that sucked

[monkeybloons]

honestly im not going to lie but the vocals and guitars FAIL right here

[daedley]

this cover with these great bands is full of win. Man so full of energy and power, things are about to explode there. The Killers, The Vines, Howling Belles, and Louis XIV, all together doing the Beatles. Awesome!

[danbreen13]

thevines frontman murdersthis he actually made it seem gory and the guitar seems out of tune particuarly at the start

[IoEstasCedonta]

...gory? It's got a gory history, but it kind of was meant to be pretty, at least at first.

[MrsRhythmNation]

@IoEstasCedonta

"You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer" is not a pretty lyric. It's a gory rock song and I love it.

It's one of the most threatening rock songs in history and I don't think it can be called pretty.

[Pure7pazaak]

Nah, McCartney actually wrote it in response to a claim by the Rolling Stones that they'd written the loudest, angriest song ever. Obviously Paul succeeded cause this is an amazing song.

Shit version mind you, and I like the Killers

[IoEstasCedonta]

Well...you're wrong in a couple important details. McCartney wrote it in response to a claim by *Rolling Stone* that *The Who* had written the "heaviest" song ever (namely, "I Can See For Miles"). This being 1968, no one was 100% clear on just what "heavy" meant, and Paul had never actually heard the song, so the world wound up with two songs that are "heavy" in two very different ways, one loud and angry, the other more...atmospheric.

And this was Sam's Town era. Who likes Sam's Town era?

[Pure7pazaak]

This man knows a lot more than me lol. I was on the right lines, sort of...

[RoadhouseSkelter]

@Pure7pazaak

Paul wrote it in response to the song " I Can see for Miles" by The Who, you're wrong my friend :)

[ccbc23]

@MrsRhythmNation

mark stoermer is a huge beatles fan.

[blackshadowhorus]

alaridos!!

[cimun11]

you suck!

[JohnAsh16]

Stereophonics and oasis's versions are better

[EccentricFrog]

this is one of the greatest things ever to happen in the history of all humanity

[AchtungBaby1874]

I prefer U2's cover, but fair play, this aint bad!

[KeaneKiller18]

Like alyssatk said it was just for fun. They did it once and it was never recorded. Don't you ever sing a Beatles song in the shower or in your bedroom? There's nothing wrong with singing a good song and to have a good time(:

(I think the singer from the Vines tried a little to hard though:/)

[MrsRhythmNation]

@KeaneKiller18 he's not trying too hard, he's just being himself. he's not trying to sound like paul mccartney.

idk if you think "trying too hard" in music is a sin, because it's certainly not and more people should give more of themself to music.

[PizzaKatana]

Dont flame the Killers man...seemed like the Vines were trying too hard.

[alyssatk]

I think it's pretty good.

A bit messy... but if it'd been just The Killers it would be wayyy better.

They were just having fun, though. Only happened once. No recorded version. I don't understand why everyone's being so damn judgemental.:/

[Lorys0107]

This is a Bad Song and it has to be played in a dirty way . I like this version .

[Tmendler]

why does everyone hate on this? sure its not the greatest, but the musicians had a good time with this......and the crowd seems pumped. no need to hate on someone trying to do their own version of a legendary song. so long as they are having fun, no worries......

[Nick5379]

Perhaps but that doesn't apply to The Jonas Brothers. Because that's just not cool. They even put it in a target commercial >:( I fuckin' hate them.

[lunadamian]

the beatles!!!! the best !!!!

[baldybhoy1967]

my god that was total shit

[leofera11]

What..What the hell is this?? Good vocals?my god, this is horrible!!

[sk8erguy011]

lol.

[Alyssa71808]

I thought this was awesome! all you other people can just bite it

[sRowTL985]

It's kinda sad seeing all of them try so hard to capture the same energy as the Beatles. No on second thought, it's really funny. LOL

[KieranF1Kimi]

oh my fucking lord. this is utter shite.

[sometimesoonfan]

its cool that there are bunch of people up on the stage havin fun with the song. But performance wise this is pretty bad, vocals are distraught and music is sloppy. I still haven't heard a better version than Thrice's version of this song.

[MushroomBoom]

I thought that was horrible... Brandon's vocals really don't fit in this song ;/

[beardseekingmissile]

the beatles WISH they were the vines ;)

[omgtwisters]

the vines WISH they were the beatles .

if it wasn't for the beatles music wouldn't be what it is today.

[beardseekingmissile]

"craig nicholls is my muse and my idol. alright, alright, calm down, calm down."

- John Lennon

[omgtwisters]

john lennon died when craig nicholls was three years old.

the vines didn't exist until 1994, 14 years after john lennon died.

sooooooo? fake quote? i think yes.

[stoberto06]

taking the piss? haha

[Guard3226]

o man i was expecting better but he sounds horriable live

[pakanasielu]

WHAT is this shit?

[alyssatk]

Brandon Flowers sounds really good, but the others... wish I could say the same.

[idntgiveahoot]

i think this is pretty good ..if i was their i wouldn't leave... unless i needed to pee

[66revolver]

Bloody amateurs.

[lalaveroo]

if you guys dont like it...then dont watch it...

[JoeyRavn1]

How would you know whether you like something or not if you don't watch it before?

[lalaveroo]

what i meant to say is that people dont have to make rude comments if they dont like something...i wasent trying to be rude or anything

[JoeyRavn1]

I know. But people are entitled to have their opinions. You may agree or disagree with them, but you can't tell them not to express themselves. If someone thinks this guy sucks at signing, well, good for him.

[lalaveroo]

ok im sorry...i didnt mean to start anything...like you said i was just saying my opinion

[jonathanr0ckz]

Jesus Christ, that dude sucks at singing.

[JorgEbrio]

the original is so kick ass!!

the beatles the best band ever!!!

[qldninja27]

The Beatles are the original and the best at this song.

Hands down.

[JanineBloodshed]

the killers do NOT have the right to screw up a classic like this!

[Zakic2]

u2 has got the best cover of this

[dalekkilla2]

i like the killers but this is a bad cover, aerosmith and oasis done it well

[SuperGers09]

love the killers but this is quite a bad cover

noel gallaghers was much better

not as good as the original tho

[saskxoxo]

Brandon is so fucking awesome.

<3 The Killers

[Bestym8bo]

man its only a bit of fun, and i think it looks it :)

[MillyKilly]

brandon <3

[GeorgeDeadsonTV]

not raw enough.

[DazzleBezzleBabe]

BRandon's voice was the best in terms of quality its whole unlike the other dude whose voice is RAD too but a bit too cracky.... if he keeps on singing that way he'll lose it fast.

[samianeCHS]

sooooooooooooooo FUCKIN AWSOMELY GOOOOOOD

beatles, killers aaaaaaaah the best

[hornyoldman69]

i honestly think this cover is good, i think both voices go well with the song, especially craigs.

[mrleefosho]

man.. this is good :D

[b0x3r4ll]

What the fuck why you think that of this song?

I think is a great performance

Not a disaster

perfectly played

No one need a kind of voice to play a song

if you had your own kind of voice you can sing anything

[Mr6292]

I don't usually get too negative on attempts at cover versions, but this is not good, sorry. Perhaps the overall sound is compromised by the recording device, but there is no getting away from the out of tune singing, especially at the start of the song. Plus, all the guitars on stage and you can't even hear the downward scales after each 'Helter Skelter' on the chorus? No sorry, this one is not for me. Still, at least the band tried and I hope the sudience had good time overall.

[mundanelifeof]

jesus fucking christ this is TERRIBLE. i usually don't mind covers because they give other artists a chance to present legendary music in their own artistic way... i actually love listening to a variety of covers... but this is total fucking SHIT. The Vines can probably pull this song off... but The Killers should get the fuck out... especially that horrible-sounding kid/vocalist called Branden?

[yaymynameisalyssa]

what r u talking about?!

brandon was singing way better than the other dude.

the other guy is screaming... and it sounds girly.

i will admit, however, that its not a great cover.... but it was an admirable venture.

:/

[mundanelifeof]

McCa's Helter Skelter is one of the early basis of punk rock. And The Vine's style and its vocalist's voice is fit for the song. Brandon's pop voice is not.

[AcidDP]

what's shit?

[redhotchiliangel]

really bad performance!!:(

[fillywinkle]

oooh. i do remember this night!

awesome!

[KevinS1988]

they should be killed

[p1tertyler]

what a piece o'shit!

[num1Beatlesfan]

If Paul was out there now he would rape that performance so bad, this is clearly not a good performance but the idea of theme doing this song is nice

[robnlarry]

not bad

[romoo]

this sucks...come back to kindergarden and lear how to sing

[daniilovesyou]

so to learn to sing.. you go to kindergarten?

[gg5574]

the guy singing first SUCKED.. Brandon did ok.. there is too many people singing and playing guitar..

[rainbowsareneat]

this is quite a bad cover...

[nick4man3]

Flowers does it great. The fellow from the Vines really loses it though.

[faygohomie69]

Not too bad I guess. The Beatles will always be the best though.

[sebas12354]

The Beatles?? U2 did it much better, that's the best Helter Skelter version

U2 is the best band in the world!!!

[faygohomie69]

Well the best version of course is going to be from the creators of the song. The Beatles. And U2 is a terrible band in my opinion. I think they are boring and a lot of their stiff sounds the same. Bono is extremely overrated and will never be better or anywhere near what The Beatles are. And U2 is definitely not the best band in the world, not musically, artistically, and personally. They are boring and there are tons of bands that are a million times better.

[rainbowsareneat]

your mom's boring.

[faygohomie69]

you're real intelligent.

[rainbowsareneat]

thx =)

[SeanCambo]

U2 are a shite band, the jam, stone roses, kings of leon, joy division, even killers are better than them irish cunts

[daniilovesyou]

thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard anyone say. ever.

[romoo]

that was the worst performance i saw..ever, brando can sing bullshit like a kindergarden girl and use synths with two fingers...thats ok with me, but come on dont fuck with the fab 4 for god sake, go to fuckin las vegas and try to be indie

[daniilovesyou]

you're seriously getting way to upset about this shit.. first off, it's a COVER it's for FUN. it's a dedication, they're not trying to prove anything and they're obviously not trying to be bettter than them because its impossible..

[daniilovesyou]

wow.. the fab 4 arent U2.. the fab 4 are the beatles

[SeanCambo]

why what did i say i forgot

[Juanluisrestrepo3193]

que locura

[elleviesmusique]

I've never seen this! This is crazy. Clearly not as good as the original,but interesting as I was at one point a huge fan of theirs. I still dig it,though. Who knew Mr.flowers had it in him.

[strat339]

i wish they had a studio version of it

[estabamob]

HORRIBLE!!!

[ynnor2z]

Only The Beatles can do this!

[bseenmedia2]

I agree that only The Beatles can do this song. U2's version sucked, so did Rob Zombies, and even Paul McCartney's solo live version isn't very good. I guess it's a studio song.

[ynnor2z]

If this was the only version Charles Manson ever hear, it had been no murder. He would hopefully take his one life!

[moustacheman001]

what about the motley crue version

[Luken89]

Oasis version is the best;)

[Fanpire913]

Yeah, this is not very good at all.

[nerdheadbanger]

The Vines rule all!

[Uniquenesssss]

Lmao I was just listening to In A Little While with U2 and Brandon Flowers and I was thinking: HOW cool would it be if The Vines and The Killers did something like that...

I'm sooo happy they're my two favourite bands :]]

[Anysound12]

Craig Nicholls owns allllllllllllllllll.

[Zombeatles1964]

Craig Nicholls singin The Beatles is always a lovely sight / sound. :)

[gibsonsg91921]

then check out I'm only sleeping

[Zombeatles1964]

yeah that's basically what I was refering to!

[madameantoine]

yeah him and brandon flowers.

[ZiiggyyStardust]

wow, that was awesome, i love beatles, and i really think they did a great cover on this :)

[Takeninake]

good moment in perspective

[thekillersfan4ever]

That was incredible!! :)

People should that don't like this version should at least give these great bands some credit. This song is hard to cover and/or pull off.I think they were amazing!

Great job guys!!

[Porkserloinburger]

impossible to top the beatles, but it's still awesome

[CHACHEL1]

suck`s!!!!

[itachiifan]

When I first saw this video I flipped.

I LOVE it.
