Brandon Flowers J-TV interview

[billead]

i want to be his treadmill

[Oceanangel131]

haha did u see the people in the backround they were like OMG its Brandon Flowers from The Killers:) love him

[frodder54]

hard



[doyouwash1]

SEXY BITCH

[brandnew549]

God I want him on my treadmill...

[MrBrandon621]

brandon looks soo cute, he goes on the treadmill, what a cutie, he doesnt need to work out, he is already the best ;)

[MimosaH15]

lol i like the fans following behind them :P

I WOULD!!!

[JG129]

Its so0o0o0o0o0o0o0 trueee, I've just started performing in the band i'm in and my first show i literally was so shy and it didn't go that well but the more confident in yourself you become the better you become on stage . There is a big difference between cockiness and confidence. Cockiness is thinking your better than everyone else. Confidence is knowing you can do it just as good as anyone else !

[melonsgurl5]

there is a big difference between being confident and being conceded. And Brandon is definatly NOT conceded, he is confident in a modest way, but yet not modest....ya know what i mean.....?

[MarcusKiner]

Some dumb questions in the beginning....

[ambsie0]

I love that Brandon Flowers is very religious and very vocal about it. The Killers take me back to the 80's and early 90's. KROQ! Alternative Babie!

[larissaistheshit1]

i want his jacket.

[MissJedi]

I don't know what it is, but everytime he says things like this, I just laugh. He's so blunt, but not really in a bad way. It's refreshing to have someone just say like they mean it, instead of just flip flopping around things.

[hellomimi25]

just hearing him talk makes me melt<3 ugh perfect man!<333

[marwood03]

BF isn't being arrogant saying he is the best at it, he is just being honest.

<3 TK

[Megera2006]

I think he's right about the whole modesty thing. If you wanna be in that business you need alot of confidence and belief in yourself and that shouldnt be percieved as a bad thing. I hate it when stars get all fake modest i'd rather see some one who is good at what they do and just own it. (Without being a complete narsacist/egomanic.) I suppose its a fine line

[herschypie]

yes they r the best arnt they

[Vintagecharm1]

Brandon Flowers Is My Favorite Sing.

The Killers Is My Favorite Band.

And When You Were Young is my favorite song.

[chelseakeepsitreal]

PREACH BRANDON!

hahaha

The Killers are the BEST band in the WORLD no doubt about it.

That band deserves to be able to say they're the best. Don't you think so?? I 100% agree with EVERYTHING he talks about :D

[EmotionITwasElectric]

Very true - there is a big difference between modesty and humility. I would say The Killers are humble and that definitely shows in their music, interviews and performances. There's no ego...what's wrong with admitting you know that you're good at something?!

[Tehn00busters]

I admire and look up to Brandon so much... <3

"I also think I'm the best" lolololololl

[kerplunk89]

he said bullshit...and hes a mormon...i guess mornamism isn't true....oh no

[jacquelinetoronto]

This little 3 minute interview is so good. I love what he says about B.S. modesty.

As a bonus I learned I only need to do 30 mins on the treadmill!!

[flames210]

wait it says the song is bones. its when u were young

[Gustavofromelcajon]

lmfao... check it again.

[bexaroo32]

no. learn some killers buddy.

[susandan110]

no he aint cocky.....he's a lovely guy....he just has the guts to speak the truth....most think it of themselves but don't have the nerve to say it because of people's attitudes like yours....who cares what you think, he's brandon flowers...you aint...lol!!! he's so lucky!!

[ilike999999999]

he is a cocky prick...

[luvena07]

love it

[lifewithbeats]

brandon is sxc :L

[angela123467]

and please, how would you know if he is a fan of Mitt Romney? Brandon has also stated that he does not talk about politics and they are "not a political band". It seems as though you are just pulling information out of thin air

[Adukum]

well put, and that's why i love them so much, they know they don't have to get political to get attention, its just about the music with them

[katey6213]

I Love The Flowers <3

[susandan110]

And they blew my away in concert a few weeks ago, very memorable!

[susandan110]

I couldn't give a monkeys if Brandon sings off key now and again...it's very hard to sing live...he's completely human - I've watched loads of interviews and he doesn't come off cocky one bit...The Killers are one of the best bands to come along for a long long time, I'm old enough to be his mum (so son says..lol) but these guys are extremely talented and I appriciate everything they do...I want to adopt Brandon..lol!

[AcousticRocks44]

Guys The Killers are one of the only decent bands for a while and is that in sydney near the chapel in the city

[ASd5p]

love his jacket

[corretebethoven17]

flowers is such a incredible artist

[generalhippo]

wow hes awesome.

[zoucoli325]

he's so right he's so cool !

[Katherineo0oEyeliner]

iLove Him So much.. =]

[EpicBonfireParty]

I love this man :D

[VacantOccupation72]

i wish i were as great as brandon flowers

[veronicachic]

hes hooootttttttttt and he IS MODEST. why would someone say hes not :S :S

if you wanna see cocky look at kanye, paris hilton, etc..

[BabyIGotsYou]

Anyone who calls Brandon Flowers cocky needs a reality check.

A few nights ago I had the privelege to see the Killers live, but I also saw Kanye West live a few months ago.

Brandon was totally giving off the modest vibe, every now and then he burst out laughing if the crowd were cheering really loudly and thanking us all!

He sang the Abbey Road version of Sam's Town, and stopped half way through the intro to thank everybody.

Whereas Kanye West just laps it up, HE is cocky.

[frodder54]

@BabyIGotsYou tell me aboutt it

[MegaMuffin4568]

i dont understand how people can twist brandon into some evil other-band-hating monster. clearly, hes a nice guy, you can hear it in his voice... it seems like half the stuff he says gets completely taken out of context sometimes. hmmm...dont always believe what you read, hes a good guy.

[VacantOccupation72]

toootttally

[mymar86]

i agree with him

about the modesty

see tvon the radio interview- so phony.

[nenaghh88]

what did he do to his hair?!! :(

[JohnRhysMusician]

He is really out there for a Mormon. Brandon Flowers is probably the coolest Mormon I know, David Archuleta is kinda dorky. He cursed! That is a sin.

[dobermancrazed]

haha i agree! thank god he isn't one of those super strict mormon guys. :)

hey does anyone know if tana is mormon? or tara or whatever her name is, lol.

[JohnRhysMusician]

Yeah his wife is Mormon. That is how they met. They met by going to the same LDS ward in Las Vegas. He is trying to quit smoking and drinking in order to better adhere to the church doctrine. I am Mormon, so he continues to amaze me. He is also apparently a big fan of Mitt Romney.

[angela123467]

No, she wasn't Mormon when they first met. She converted prior to their marriage. Stop making up rumors about how they met.

[JohnRhysMusician]

I'm not spreading a rumor. They ran into each other at the clothing store she worked at and she was a recent convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I am not making any rumors.

[angela123467]

She converted before they married, like when they first got engaged. He said that even if she didn't covert prior to their marriage, he would have still married her. He has stated this in numerous magazines on numerous occasions. To say otherwise is to start rumors, simple as that.

[ecrocksmysocks]

modesty vs. humility. brilliant

[starroxx12]

i love him<3

[fourminuteswiser]

OMG He looks so young in the Somebody Told Me video compared to now!!

[saylorsoul]

lol

[Starsxboulevards]

"People that you see get on stage and play to thousands of people arent the most modest people in the world."

That made me laughh =]

[1HardcorePrincess]

brandon's so cute n adorable!

[msloverock]

love him!!!!!

[luckyme153]

um...I love him.

[Sapient00Czarina]

"yea I can do a little bit of walking *chuckles*"

what a weird question that he had to answer

really funny

[13Umbrellas]

that movie in the background during "Bones" is, i think, Jason and the Agro, or Jason and the Argonauts. I watched it when I was eight. Little did I know it would come full circle at 15.

[hbyrne85]

god i love brandon flowers!!!! mmmmmmmm!!!!

[cromwell220]

Haha, no not really. I don't think Christians are supposed to swear in general.. Not like you'll be kicked out, I know I do

[theshaggyskinhead]

He said bullshit, aren't Mormons supposed to not swear?

[dobermancrazed]

yeah but maybe hes normal =]

[thereisnonick]

I've always been a huge fan of the band and I think brandon is so cute. but the thing is he reminds me so much of a guy I'm not longer speaking to. they look a lil alike and they have similar mannerisms. It's sad cause every time I see brandon I feel slight depression cause I'm reminded of the guy. And some of their songs remind me of the time I was with him, esp Mr. Brightside and Somebody Told Me.

I hate that the guy is taking away from the joy I feel in seeing the band and listening to them

[MUSEcave]

mate, no one cares. shit. its funny how people put stuff like this thinking that people give a rats butt. no, we dont, all we want to do is talk about the band, and your ex or whatever is not part of the band, we dont want to know your personal life.

[shayteepatd]

^Y%$GRWYNT@^&U%^$

[aamal16]

damn Brandon Flowers is really hot!!!

[freddy1234567890]

so hey can any1 help me find out where did he get that sweater plus where does he shop at !!!!

[rosaandlarry]

humility and modesty are the exact same thing.

i looked it up in the dictionary.

but i respect you brother!

[tophthegoph]

Modesty is understanding and acknowledging your limits, being humble is not having a overly high view of yourself. They're very close but I think there's a slight difference in their meaning. Anyways, yeah he's awesome!

[Craigi360]

Someone tell me where his jacket is from and what make please, I want it! :)

[harriandmoloy]

Lol, i think it's Dior :)

[oywidapoodles]

I love Brandon. He has opinions, and that's what rock and roll is all about!

[whatwhathahaha]

he's damn cute, and he's so right!

anyway, i luv his voice

[jhonen32629]

He's pretty hot actually

[hihiminxy]

i love that kid!!!!

rock and roller who works out hott!!!

[willthekill3285]

you are the best at it

[kariiiine]

rase toi Brandon t'es mieux en ptit minet!!!!

[itsnotian]

haha this interviewers is a joke, and you can tell that brandon is just having fun with him.

[Addrian147]

on the end he said 147 steps, you know what i`m talking about SNOOKER ?

[jocinondemhaterzmen]

When you...were yoooouuungg. Why the long wait for the new album? aaaargh He doesn't look a thing like Jesus, it's not confidential, it's only natural...

[virginnocence]

"yeah.. I can do a little bit of walking."

lmao funniest part that people tend to miss. The look on his face is priceless.

[marinaisi]

you are the best at it flowers!

[ComicalGenius]

He's too fucking right. Brandon Flowers and the Killers don't deserve the criticism they get from people.

[danriggs80]

Agreed. People are confusing cockiness with confidence. If you don't like your OWN music isn't that kinda sad? If you wrote Sam's Town i'd say you'd be just a tad proud yaself.

[saylorsoul]

i totally agree

[xxDanikaxxAxx]

me and my friend Leah are obsessed with him hes so cute

[XxLeahwxX]

Im more than obsessed Dan hes freakin gorgeous

[Bridie555]

lol u two are jokes

[XxLeahwxX]

i know haha

[saylorsoul]

yep he is great

[girlinc]

fake modesty is a way of vanity... i love this guy.

[danriggs80]

But who's really in the position to call someone's modesty fake? Tis a mystery that only his mother knows

[Born2bRedeemed]

You know, that's a really good point. It's obvious that Brandon Flowers knows the rock star mentality, but no one person can speak for everyone. As far as his synopsis on, humility, though, the man is spot-on.

[Born2bRedeemed]

I stand corrected. Webster's dictionary defines humility A MODEST opinion of one's own IMPORTANCE or rank. Humilty = modesty, and there is no difference...although I do think he's right in that a person needs a certain level of confidence to do what he's doing.

[wolverette01]

jeez... what an indepth comment.. i dont know if im dedicated enough to look something up like that.. which i respect u for ;)

[Born2bRedeemed]

lol....Thanks for that. What can I say. I was bored

[danriggs80]

Oh damn I thought you dubbing brandon with fake modesty (didn't finish the video before I posted) my bad! haha

[motellife]

"dont you wanna cum with me,

don't you wanna feel my skin?

on your skin? it's only natural

don't you wanna cum with me?

dont you wanna feel my bone?"

i know they're not the exact lyrics.

but who cares? it's the thought that counts.

and yes, brandon, i want all that, and much more. ;D

[duckinapond]

I love him. He's honest and writes beautiful songs.

[LokiHeart]

oh man..heck his confidence is what made fans like us!! the killers rock!!! XD

-LokiHeart

[flowlento]

I love him!! people of the back are following him!!

[simpsonsjunkie89]

I think this is the first interview I've seen where Brandon sounds like his singing voice...

[TeamProzac]

Fuck yes he is cool.

[haileyizzle]

i just worship him.

i love his bluntness and that he doesn't have "bullshit modesty".

there is a difference between humility and modesty and i'm perfectly fine with him being humble and not modest.

[Siilenced]

well...the killers are still awesome ..but im glad that brandon decided to stop being a hater...hes cool and all ..but why shold he dis on any band...so your the best...let the music speak..not your mouth..(i love the killers...{dont shoot me santa is the shi right now....}

[SoulDad]

Wow. Brandon has a lot of confidence, a bit too much actually. But I still love his music and he is so hot!

[goofykristy109]

His so HOT !

ahhh

[enisse93]

i like when brandon says:

"...here we come from the desert...and tell to the world...ok, we believe it...eee...and people don't like that...they want...they want modesty...i call ballshit modesty...and i don't like it, i don't like seen people...people that you see get on a stage...

mm...well, that's it..

I LOVE BRANDON FLOWERS...BESIDES HE HAS CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF...LIKE NONE!!!

THAT'S WHY I LOVE HIM!!!

If he continues thinking this way always he will be successful

[brandonflours]

I want to be his skin

[beautifulugly1]

personally i think hes very intelligent, o loke it.

[ComicalGenius]

They ARE the freaking best band ever. And he's right.

[ZakaTV]

ppl you don't understand what he said. He said inorder to feel confident on stage you need to belive your the best. And not be modest

[amda00]

You really are the best!

[liopleurodonmagic]

At least he's honest about his huge ego.

[cranberrylove]

how i wish i could b the one walkin with him!!! i dont care wut he's said bout other bands cuz the killers actually are the best band ever!!!!! its good they know it, he is so down to earth!! and talented, i saw them live and it has been the best feeling in my life, he sings better live than in the records! os course sams town is doing great, its a masterpiece!!! i love the killers and brandon is the best

[ggallen99]

seems very down to earth

[Bailon15]

AT 2:14 WHAT BRAND JACKET IS THAT?!??!

[Bailon15]

AT 2:14 WHAT BRAND JACKET IS THAT?!??!

[merro05]

The Killers are the best...and the best band live ever

[xxblackparade]

i love mcr to death but i gotta admit they suck live

and the killers concert was the best night of my life :)

they were awesome!

[meowkatt2002]

I just love him. He's so honest & real. People are so used to bulls**t that when someone tells the truth about his feelings they bash him. He's a rare man. Plus he just looks sooooo good too.

[xDjFx]

his voice sounded a little shaky ..

[omganime2]

what brandon meant to say at 2:38 is "I feel well"

[ToranasaurusRex182]

everything he just said slams it in the face of people who say he is arrogant. they should clearly watch this interview.

[sxcmofo11]

brendan flowers is beautiufl

[30lozmola30]

gerard way tries ot be like brandon flowers but its just not workin out lol, dont get me wrong i mcr but brandon flowers is soo mcuh mor etalented than gerard and so much more hoter lol

[bobfish2]

ure comparing gerard way to brandon flowers?.. yeah its pretty obvious whos better... BRANDON

[nurdanmekan]

brandon flowers is ok. gerard way is soooooooooooooooooooo much more hotter. he doesnt have a moustache and is a waaaaaaay better singer.

[ROCKABLE92]

.....no, he's the best.....xD

[Nico9414]

he should have a huge level of confidence but he shouldn't say he's the best, because he clearly isn't, but he is still good.

[charvelguitars]

the reporter...yeah i agree.

[jooshavenosoles]

i hope he dies soon

[PeruvianJew]

He's so right. If you're putting yourself out there as a musician and getting on stage, you're not necessarily going to be the most modest person out there. You wouldn't be doing it unless you thought you were good at it.

I love that he's honest about it and I think he's absolutely right.

[haileyizzle]

at 1:39,

that is the quote.

i love it.

he's so right.

keep speaking your mind, brandon.

[wiwitash]

at last an honest "celebrity"..

after seeing this interview i feel he's much more like me and closer to me than any other famous person.. it's kind of weird- but it makes him even more awesome

[MUSEMCRisMYRELIGION]

Robbie Buck is a legend and so is brandon

[stingdrago]

What I love about this guy is the level of confidence he has for his work. He is, indeed, an amazing singer who not only has a distinct voice but that also sings songs with very intricate and original sound. I think he's often mistaken as cocky because, like he says, he is good and the best (at what he does) and he knows it. I don't think he believes that others suck but that as individuals should believe in ourselves. See, I'm good at everything I do and I know it.

[sophierose23]

I heart brandon flowers! he is so cool and so hot! Bring on the Brandon at V festival! Long live the Victims!!!

[cheryljmuir]

Yeah, I totally agree with surfgld (and HanaKay & McAshelyT too!!) about him looking really relaxed and natural in this interview. One of the best Brandon interviews to date!

[allergictoalgebra]

he = my absolute favorite in the entire world

[surfqld]

This is the best interview I have ever seen of Brandon. He seems very good natured and natural. Robbie Buck is a legend... anyone that has seen his beastie boys jtv interview will agree :)

[HanaKay]

MARRY ME, GOD DAMN IT!

[McAshleyT]

Isn't he a great man!? I love that he explained himself. He seems like such a nice guy!!! Not to mention he's freaking GOOD looking!!! He's my new love.

[SamsTownsFuss]

such a wise man.

[haileyizzle]

i like the fact that he explained himself instead of looking like a cocky asshole.

[BBBrandoNNN]

sob sob sob ..........

[danielle711]

If only I could watch Brandon working out on the treadmill... :P

[nellieBqt]
