The Killers - Somebody Told Me (live-David letterman)

[EpicRainbowLollipop]

Brandon is really nervous here

[andandres29]

+ 10

[phishinvan]

Dave looks just like buffalo bill from Silence of the Lambs. I just can't shake the image. Jame Gumm. "put the lotion in the fucking basket!!!"

[avzeolla]

Here's a hypothetical illustration: He's talking to a girl ( jane) saying "hey jane! My friend dave just told me your last boyfriend john looks like this chick sally i used to bang last winter. That's creepy they look so much alike, it's almost like i was banging a guy... Nasty! (or "cool" depending on his sexual orientation....)

[Tidebeckons07]

Ok, so this song can be misleading in that he could have either had a "girlfriend" that was actually a guy, and he just didn't know it... Or... okay okay... forget it. I'm confused. Great song, though .. dance rock

[Brutusbeefking]

killer song from the killers!

[Bounty7041]

lovin' this drummer!

[roboisok]

wow it seem like they can record every song live O.o

[bellevillerendevouz]

so young! : )

[KamaPaints]

awww small, young killers, makes me smile :)

[cossack77]

Absolutely love their drummer and how he moves around, always seems like he's having fun.

[logan16wol]

I like the way he dresses both solo and with the Killers!

I have a mega crush on him! love the way he sings!

[greatguitarist]

listening to the lyrics, is he gay and lost his "girl friend" who turned strait, or is it he had a girl friend that turned gay? idc catchy song

[NeonTiger24]

@greatguitarist he basically just said that he had a boyfriend who looks like a girlfriend. yeah, idk and i dont really give a crap, great song....

[JohnDavid731]

Brandon's voice is so much better now then it was here

[keegancalmes]

Who the fuck disliked this? Yeah the levels were a little off but the killers are the only truly overall legit band out there.

[thekillers1stfan]

@keegancalmes apparently you have yet to learn about The Strokes and The Libertines

[tittiboy100]

@thekillers1stfan yea, strokes are the greatest of this decade BY FAR

[doorsfan173]

@thekillers1stfan Two very excellent bands. Can't recommend 'em enough, either.

[mook5555]

@keegancalmes RADIOHEAD

[johnkeith21]

Wow they have grown so much

[pinballwizard8394]

@ccbc23 actually, he was born in vegas, moved to utah when he was 8, then moved back to vegas his jr year in high school :)

[fabiobrsp]

annoying guitar

[dolanalod]

Heard on the radio a while ago that Mr. Brandon Flowers had a choice when he was a kid. Become a professional golfer or singer. I want to thank him that he choose singing, even if I like golf.

[reneebigsur01]

fast forward to killers on david,,,5-11-09, dustland fairytale!!! brilliant

[jackTKbrightside]

@reneebigsur01 by far there best performance. takes my breath away

[TheMusiclover1967]

Awesome!! This band is from my home town! Las Vegas, Nevada !!

[ccbc23]

funny how his voice sounds exactly the same now as it does here, but on albums it varies significantly. overproducing of the albums. :(

[deathtrack15]

lol brandon flowers looks like an opera singer

[shakemeshakeme]

reminds me a little of like the 1940's

[MrBrandon621]

Everything Brandon does, moves, speaks, his hand movements, laughs, dances, sings, and even gives looks with his eyes and holding the microphone is sooo seductive! he cant do anything ugly... ahh Brandon Richard Flowers :)

[galloloco89]

I miss that's The Killers

[WALKinMYworld]

i really don't like the look of brandon here in this video, he is so much cute in others

[Gellis2009]

Is the singer american, sometimes he sounds british, i cant work it out lol.

[tkarsenal27]

@Gellis2009 He's American, they all are.

[LaurelParawhore]

@Gellis2009 he's scottish :)

[OfficerMudkip]

@LaurelParawhore He's American...

[ccbc23]

@LaurelParawhore

lol no, he was born in nephi, utah.

he's of lithuanian heritage, but was born in nephi, utah & lived there and las vegas, nevada his entire life.

[MrHenrick1]

@ccbc23 Good knowledge!! Lol/

[bezimenakorisnica]

i love them ,

i like this song

but I just DON' T like this song live:(

[SmartGuy212121]

Vocals were so on point, it was like identical to studio! o_O

[EpiR0]

"the only thing you KILLING is your time" (C) Doherty

[mrplaybuddy]

This band is awesome! It doesn't matter how this guys moves on stage cause when you have "It" nothing else matters.

[ayansb]

For everybody wondering why some of these Letterman performances aren't always the best, whether it'd be the Killers or any other new band growing popular, I'm sure most of them must've been pretty damn nervous, and I can't say I'd blame them.

[conradsz]

I love the bass line in this

[golyg]

is this the reincarnation of Robert Palmer?

[gameexplorer100]

he missed a couple of notes that he did on the album but still good

[rutjeputje]

Imagine they're like 10 times better now.....they're just so good

[evilnarc]

HOT

[afishiswhatiam]

i love them & the song (:

[plzhealme]

literally fuck new youtube.

[fenerliadam]

this guitar player is a natural, doesnt flinch, just jams, hes gonna be a icon 10 years from now, maybe is already:)

[Satanus66]

this is a pretty sad performance, nothing against the killers but i hope they dont play their concerts like this. doesnt seem like any of them are into it ya know?

[rozzcozz]

didn't realise eddie izzard was in the killers

[UrNightmare66]

Is it just me or does he seem not to be too much into it?

[blacktwink]

@UrNightmare66 that shows your a cool musician when you perform look like you not into it lol! Just kidding.

[benrox26]

shit haircut brandon. but this song has an awesome bassline

[fenerliadam]

luv the bass line....

[NothingSerious]

The drummer has some of the coolest second-note beats ever.

[testpatternindian]

Full of spunk.

[efwiz]

These studio audience performances always come off as so awkward, I don't know what it is. Especially with a high-energy song like this.

[mwendyc]

so young, so spunky, i miss this. but they are still amazing.

[PGL5]

Some very Ian Curtisesque poses.

[harlin14]

Funny the way he performs..he's like a hot dork

[mikebott]

it's been a few years now, but it's still a good instance when this comes on the car radio...

[ameflowers]

Yeeaah! I loovee tha mty's conceert!

[GingersAreHot]

I love this song + brandon. he is quite hot but cute aswell :) <3

[DaeganSat]

lol brandon awkward hand movements

sounds pretty good live though

[afitera]

Killers in mty :')

[TheMusiclover1967]

Love this band cause they're from my hometown Vegas baby! They're awesome!

[eoipa]

lol they all look so young

[ichibannotobi]

Amazing band. Love them!

[goodrichter]

all you bashers suck

[gumb74y]

you will never amount to anything in life.

[purplepotatoe92]

aww brandon looks so adorable. he looks so shy, but now he owns the stage. and you are nuts if you think ronnie is a bad drummer. personally i think all four of them are fantastic at what they do. i can't think of a negative thing to say.

[Pandabot3000]

@purplepotatoe92 Anyone who says Ronnie is a bad drummer should probably check out the four awards he won for pop drumming

[raulbarrientos007]

bitchin drummer

[JimCarrey3276]

I love this performance.

[cossack77]

Like the way the drummer moves around.

[hhspsoav]

ah soo good. gta luv the flowers

[MarcusKiner]

LOL he does!

[birdiedetemmerman]

How cool are the movements of this guy?

[lobolitagauchita]

@birdiedetemmerman the BEST - can watch him all day

[naatee]

@birdiedetemmerman Yeah, they're really enthusiastic with their music. I like watching the drummer, Ronnie, especially. He gets really into it, like in the intro to this video.

[punkedout47]

@birdiedetemmerman u mean how he basically walks back and fourth?

[LeGreatRobn]

@birdiedetemmerman you should watch some Peter Bjorn and John live, peter has some really cool moves...

[MarcusKiner]

O_o shut up please lulz

[ChrisMcann182]

they must be one of the best live bands ever

[Cintiadr]

pretty blond brandon!

[tany3000]

this is the first time i see this vid!! i hadn't seen it before, it's totally worth it!! thanks for sharing!

[PSVeindhoven12]

I saw him at the Pink Pop festivAl in the Netherlands playing with the boss, Bruce springsteen

BEAUTIFUL!!

[acole583]

are you kidding? its in the title, lol

[kurtcobain628]

funny very funny NOT

[someone1020]

dude killers bass is always awesome

[gldnkss]

i love the bass for this song

[HollowVoices]

i love them. they are so talented. they sound just as good live as they do on their albums. <3

[Dunderhead36]

Amen to that

[Bladesman943]

@HollowVoices

Lol no they really don't - or at least Brandon doesn't. I like The Killers a lot, but anyone who's seen any of their other live performances can tell he's lip syncing here. As awesome as their studio recordings are, he really can't sing live. Shame, coz its probably the only thing stopping them from being one of the best bands in the world. :(

I'm gonna get hated for this, huh?

[123iceheart123]

@Bladesman943 I'm gonna hate you for that...

[thespazing]

@Bladesman943

this is definitely live.

[adidumi1]

ur mom's wayy gay xD

[Tehn00busters]

He's so hot *______*

[jsn167]

the beginning bass riff is so kick ass

[TonySlater123]

He isnt gay haha, he has a wife and kids

[dizzotizzo1]

I give Brandon so much credit for having the talent and the balls for what he does but you can tell with his interviews and some performances he needs more confidence, probably a woman fu*king his head up.

[bigjokk]

in interviews hes incredibly shy but i find that endearing about him

check out the t in the park 2009 vids, brandon is blossoming into a stunning front man, he owned the stage and had the 80,000 crowd eating out his hand

[JefferyHunt]

I like this. But Day and Age is a way better album

[Soddsuppe]

back in the good old days...now they suck

[ninraven1817]

they mature with each album. typical fan that wants nothing but the same thing each album

[caligirl2191]

maybe you suck

0.o

[01355]

Gid damm Ronnie is good!

Mon the Killers!

[baseball2532]

I'd really like to know how many people that comment about the quality of live bands actually have any musical experience or ear training because brendan flowers is one of the most pitch perfect singers there is.

[melsz21]

good song!

[plzhealme]

look at the drummer.. oh my god..... I don't know anything about either the guitar, bass, or the vocal.. but as a drummer myself... I know that this dummer is a very good drummer...

[tommaster123]

yes...Ronnie Vannucci is a drumming legend, absolutely fantastic drummer, always amazing live! Credit to all of them, the Killers are out of this world!

[yoigurustim]

gunna haft disagree bout the drumming part, but best live singer

[cthomas1111]

you must be crazy to think ronnie isn't anything short of brilliant, his technique on the kit is second to none, he's fantastic

[yoigurustim]

i think he's brilliant, just not the best

[mikejb28]

wow, thanks for the reply's. i was never much of a killers fan tcuz thier music sounds to retro, but after day and age i really started getting into them. they rock! id lose all my pride if every woman i dated turned into a lesbo.

[mikejb28]

somebody told me that you had a boyfriend that looked like a girlfriend i had.....does that mean he dated someone before or after they had a sex change?

[APOaffiliations]

both girls he dated turned into lesbos.

[BlackHappy46]

hahahaha that's actually kind of amusing. I feel bad for the poor guy, but amusing nonetheless

[wolf90]

"somebody told me you had a boyfrien, who lookes like a girlfriend that i had in february of last year"

woah that's so fuckin' awesome...

it's probably not their best live performance but it's a great song

[30lozmola30]

Does everyone else just love Ronnie's facial expression when he plays? hehe it's like he's biting something :P

[FrankyRamone16]

PERU soon!

[xPoisonCupCake]

what's wrong with his haur?

I like it. ö

[456katia]

i don't think they actually sound bad... they have improved since then but still this isn't bad. Look at Gwen Stafani live if you want bad!!!

[bertrand1049]

if the killers would of been goodl live then, they would of been the best band in the world

[lowco23]

good old days wen killers dressed high roller

[bgregarek]

too bad rolling stones gave them alot of crap for dressing like that. but i agree.

[takeit10]

i miss those times...

terrible hair btw

[VanCityKyle]

Back when Brandon had really bad hair!!

[Bandrews20]

aha i agree, little blond highlight at the front :P

[dobermancrazed]

i think this is actually pretty great for their early career..

[crayola342]

he actually sounds good this time

[brooklynbees]

they've come sooo far

[Groundbase]

definitely a band thats shown insane amount of improvement in live performances

[karti3r]

good video wonderfull band

[carnophobia]

i love his voice.

[charcas67]

Such a baby band here--they've improved so much from this performance, but their potential is very evident here.

[jojo1821]

i like his dance moves :) especially the last one :D

[daymon48]

fo sho

[MusicSavvy0419]

And a few years later they'd come back to Letterman with an orchestra and perform "A Dustland Fairytale" in a way that can't be described in words except maybe "beautiful" or "stunning". And even those words can't fully say how amazing their performance was. :)

[botneva]

horrible hairdo. wonderful perfomance =)

[thekillersfan11]

i watched the dustland fairytale one, and then this one.

brandon's grown so much. :)

[offpsring123]

hes 23 here... people

[barranquillababe]

LOL he looks like a bird pooped on his hair........in a umm really hot way Ö_Ö

[noumenah]

naaaah

[MSUmateo1375]

I think the lead singer looks kinda like Matt Damon...

[chazsama]

wow thats amazing for a live performance

[KarmaThrash]

Офигенная песня!!))

[hbkezmahava]

Ага:)) Не устаю ее слушать)

[YewLogs026]

he looks so young and nervous here. hes so.. professional and flamboyant now. lol

[BillyViBritannia]

i love this song.

[john22chicago]

Brandon Flowers looks different because he lost about 20 pounds and got a stylist-

Marcellula has bit of a shoulder chip, and you know what xMedlahx's point is about. They are totally correct. Live singers have good days and bad days. Unless your Barbara or early Whitney you probably need a little studio audio help. U2 is also one of the best concerts ever, but beautiful voices?

[xMedlahx]

is that brandon flowers? if so he looks well different from how he does now

[MARCELLULA]

watch the liverpool mtv awards..when they performed "human" live..and..trust me..I m not the only one who think he could do better live!

but still..I think they re one of the best bands of the last years

[MARCELLULA]

oh..well..if you think so..you ve probably never seen amazing singers live!

[MARCELLULA]

I didn t say killers are crap..I actually like em. just said that live he can t sing as good as he does in studio.

you recognize good singers live..and he s definitely not!!

anyway..I like the band and the songs!!

[littlepaasan]

Are you kidding me? He's amazing live!!!

[Whelen3016]

I think he's a good singer but very nervous in this video.

[neverunseen]

lol...naw, thats how he always performs.

[MARCELLULA]

crap voice dude!!

[Sawyer1419]

hello can someone reply me what year was this perfomance on letterman in?
