The Killers - Andy, You're a Star - LIVE 2004

[bethsnotwearingpants]

Brandon looks like a baby almost. God. Wow.

[lewpz]

brandon is too fine. hate to sound like a 12 year old fangirl, but damn.

[StereOasis93]

The most basic guitar riffs are the best! Love it!!

[lilreaper98]

I feel special. My name is Andy Griffith

[zamehere11]

@lilreaper98 lucky e__e

[kjamafaith]

awesome song =)

[MrsJimena13]

Brandon you are beatiful :)

[icantstopchewinggum]

something i find so sexy about a rockstar playing piano. idk why. freddie mercury, tyson ritter, and now brandon. :)

[Christian91peewee]

He is sooo sexy!!

[iDan5433]

dus this mean brandon fancied this andy man?!?!?!?!

[skitts0fpwnies]

@iDan5433 He said in an interview that it was about this athlete at his high school named Andy, on whom he had a mancrush.

So yes, I suppose he did.

[benmoser11]

The actual meaning of this song is sarcastic. The singer (Brandon Flowers) was bullied by a guy named Andy Messersmith in High School. (Not the baseball player.) Well now Andy is a gym teacher at the same school while Brandon Flowers is the successful man he is today. So the meaning is sarcastic, and he's insulting Andy.

One of Andy's students knew the meaning, went up to him and said; "Andy, you realy are a star." So Andy put him into a headlock.

[QLFILMS]

@benmoser11 where did you hear of that meaning? I've only heard the same one a million times : that Brandon had a crush on some Andy guy, or he just left the meaning open. I always thought there was more to this song, and the meaning you just said sounds a lot more realistic. Thanks for sharing this.

[benmoser11]

@QLFILMS i saw someone post this and i was like "no way. lol" i googled andy messersmith and a few pages down found a link leading to a total douche jock. and talkin bout him failing school, then it leads a link to this song.

[MsKillthewabbit]

brandon ur sooo cute!!!!!!!!!

[TabbyThe]

@MsKillthewabbit He is a bit. :-)

[Kor1neto]

my favorite song

[Zellstanly]

Bradon had a coach named Andy in hs who used to tease him about his athletic skills ... he hated him. So he made the song in reference, sarcastically to get back at him. No gayness.

[MrThepainters]

@Zellstanly is that true?

[EliDegrassiFan]

@MrThepainters no actually he had a close friend named andy and he was an athlete i guess ive seen an interview about it about andys mom said they wrote a song about her son when brandon used to live in nephi.

[ThisDayNDAge]

@Zellstanly mahh, it sounds pretty gayy... :/

[Smallville357]

COZ BRANDON YOU'RE A STAR!

[VFBandi89]

nice song :)

[harikrishnalookalike]

haha, I dont



[ssobocinski7]

The drummer always looks like hes having an orgasm

[youaremybigsunshine]

Orgasmic singing.. FUCK YEAH! xD

[ncbritt1203]

Awe I love this song XD

[TheMartini1234]

Lol he used to be such a bad singer :)

[fourminuteswiser]

god, i wish i was that microphone!!

[scfearless]

i love the way how he sings "hey shut up" so sexy.. i think he changed a lot.. i mean his face.. and the way how he sings too

[Cherrylu100]

@scfearless I prefer his old face and his old voice...

[MarcusKiner]

@Cherrylu100 You like teenagers waka waka



[scfearless]

i like the way how he say "hey shut up" so sexy.. i think he changed a lot, i mean his face..

[Cherrylu100]

@scfearless I thought I was the only person who noticed it. :O

[Altffenser]

Es de lo mejor... The Killers Yeah !!!

[floatingtrains]

What a freaking cutie.

[hellowhatever69]

seriously is it "he shot up" or "hey shutup"?? lololol

[selfmarv]

@hellowhatever69

"Hey shut up, hey shut up, yeah"

[benjaskino]

LOVE the guitar tone in this song

[Coxfullish]

Actually... I have no idea, but I think you can... They're very similar and have very similar sounds and settings, so if you just change some of the settings I think you should be able to receive pretty same sounds ;D

[Gunnerss09]

what kind of synth is he using there. model/brand? anyone.

[Coxfullish]

@Gunnerss09 The red one is Clavia Nord Lead 2, and the second one is MicroKorg :))

[Gunnerss09]

@Coxfullish ...thanks mate, i have a microkorg xl, recently bought, can i make the same sounds?

[x3harlequingirlxoxo]

i hate to be "that guy", but i think a lot of people are missing the point. brandon had a crush on andy in high school. i guess some people don't want to accept that. if a few of the less subtle lines "in a car with a girl, promise me she's not your world" and "leave your number on the locker and i'll give you a call" don't convince you, then the pain and angst in his voice should :/

[RattleAndHum1988]

@x3harlequingirlxoxo I actually think you're missing the point. Like other people are saying, and like I've read and heard Brandon say in interviews, the song is about a more popluar student Brandon went to high school with that bullied him. This song is pretty much rubbing it (Brandon's success) in Andy's face. Sort of getting back at him in his own way.

[QLFILMS]

@RattleAndHum1988 do you know what interviews Brandon confirmed this in? This meaning sounds much more realistic and makes the song a lot more interesting (although it was already awesome)...

[sarahalzaid]

andy was a staff at my fing group home.. and guess what my nose is bloody

[JamieBugajski]

gay/straight/bi... don't matter. this song is entertaining.

[airplanedance]

how is his voice even real. so good so so so good

[betobunkero]

Canción del día

[tobyhawk828]

omg they are good live wwhooa

[7192939]

Haha Andy is my wrestling coach. His placks still line our trophy cases. He really was a star, and a real jerk to brandon.

[FinalLifeline]

@Merrlol Brandon did write the song. Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis?

[Annoyingthing321]

My favourite Killers song, alongside Al these Things I've Done. Killers FTW

[oondyux]

en honor ami yo me llamo andy !¡

[SonicDeeHedgehog]

Good concept for the song but this song sounds terrible

[MrBrandon621]

OH MY GOSH! 3:14... ahhh Brandon we encourage licking your lips

[MrBrandon621]

Ohhhhh he is sooo sexy... I just can't take it, his looks are too flipping wonderful... and his voice is just... ahh.. indescribable. oh Brandon

[misschatty96]

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh he's soooooooooooooooooooooooo gorgeous (':

he has a gorrrrrrrrge voice when he isn't singing as well as when he isn't!!!! >.<

[jjwhitty123]

andy was juabs wrestling coach too

[bans5]

haha thats funny:P

[Cacaophile]

Just an amazing song...

[CelticGurrl3994]

I love this song sooo much......!!! XD

[NewWendyCann]

Brandon your a star.............Hey shutup hey shutup yeah....

[XxNuneexX]

I cant stop listening to this!! I had almost forgotten about this song :( Aaaagh.. Love it.

[vampiiress]

OMG.my aunt went to school with Brandon and she told me there was indeed a nasty jock named Andy. Best of all, she still knows Brandon:D

[ChanVideos]

Everyone the High School that Brandon Flowers went to is called JUAB HIGH SCHOOL in NEPHI, UTAH.

[iheartbubbles12ily]

damn he's C U T E !!!

[Deliah71]

Awesome tune, well, well WELL sexy bloke !!!!

[Deliah71]

Superb song, sexy man, hmmmm............

[iheartbubbles12ily]

@Deliah71 agreed

[melonsgurl5]

i always thought Andy was a girls name in this song............... *facepalm*

[rockaleeex]

I used to love this song and I used to think this song was for someone you know brandon cared for, when I head the real story I liked it even more,

[ChanVideos]

Andy was my PE teacher! He deserves a song making fun of him the bastard!

[iheartbubbles12ily]

@ChanVideos what the fuck? wait whose andy?

[Patopimienta]

he's sooo hot!!

i lovee the killers ♥

[iheartbubbles12ily]

@Patopimienta i know right!!

[fringeofmadness]

You can always tell it's Brandon by his eyes. They've stayed the same throughout the years, despite everything else about him changing.

[brookenmc]

ah brandon is so sexy :D

[iamwavestonite]

i hav a crush on brandon!

[iheartbubbles12ily]

@iamwavestonite who wuldn't! :P

[EmilyMantis]

@iamwavestonite who doesn't?



[AMJMJ]

@iamwavestonite Who doesn't? :)

[cecyferraz]

[Texasgirl8100]

Ronnie looks cute! and of course brandon does too!

[Zeinishe]

[Jinx9516]

[johannaGreiff]

[ichtygirldotcom]

[batygunner]

[strawberryskittle99]

he's already married

[couturecutie367]

lol...same XD

[candygal32]

brandon is sooo hott

[MissBeachSandSun]

this might just be their best song. what do you guys think? ever listened to this one completely high with your speakers on :)?

the quality of this footage is not that amazing though.

[BenMcCarvill]

I agree

[MarcusKiner]

Good song, not their best.

[sampresher]

Not really his friend. Andy was the "popular" jock and good at all the sports. He thought he was awesome. the song is making fun of him. I went to the same high school as both of them

[LittleBlackSparrow]

dude that is amazing

[AgeOfReclamation]

holy crap! did you really?!!

[couturecutie367]

@sampresher ohmigoodness really? Were you in the same classes?

[ChanVideos]

@sampresher Yeah man Andy was a Gym teacher here in Juab High School. Did you know Andy got fired for choking out a kid for saying "Hey Andy your a star!" haha!

[TheLullyPop]

@ChanVideos omg lol

[iheartbubbles12ily]

@ChanVideos wait y did the kid say "hey andy your a star!"??

[ChanVideos]

@iheartbubbles12ily Because Andy was our Wrestling Coach and Andy was being a Dick and everyone knows that it bugs him when people say "Andy you're a star." to him.

[JacobCollins123]

@sampresher no. u are simply wrong about everything u have just said.

[ChanVideos]

@JacobCollins123 No dude he's not, do your research man. You'll find the truth. Everyone in Juab knows the truth because Brandon went to our school so I guess we have some kind of... "Hey look at us the singer of the Killers went here" Kinda attitude about it. But yeah man do your research before you accuse people of being wrong.

[JacobCollins123]

@ChanVideos wrong. u dont even know man.

[ChanVideos]

@JacobCollins123 Look it up dude. Just look it up. You should probably do that before you decide whats wrong and whats right. You're being Immature about this if you would do your research and stop being such a stuck up prick maybe you would know something other than Halo.

[JacobCollins123]

@ChanVideos i know that u are wrong. completely. and i dont even like halo? sry for not managing my youtube page bro. lol. think about how wrong you are before you reply please. ty ty

[ChanVideos]

@JacobCollins123 There's nothing to think about.... I'm done arguing with you. You can go ahead and be ignorant.

[iheartbubbles12ily]

@sampresher the song is making fun of him?

[Peeto87]

@sampresher You talk shit.

[GoGoPooerRangers]

@sampresher Brandon Flowers claims that "Andy You're a Star" is "free for people to interpret as their own," in a Genre 2005 interview. However in an earlier QLas Vegas interview during 2004 he said it was about his crush on a male athlete in high school. Brandon Flowers has stated that some confusion over his sexuality is "not a bad thing."

[Merrlol]

@GoGoPooerRangers He didn't even write the song, someone else did. That's a misconception.

[GoGoPooerRangers]

@Merrlol he clearly wrote it where do you get your facts from...? Hot fuss the album has flowers as the writer.

[joelibermann]

@sampresher no, the narrator is gay and he's obsessed with Andy.

[rpattzlover10111998]

@sampresher U went to high school with brandon flowers?

[slomo8888]

@sampresher of course you did :D

[manis2197]

This song is for his high school friend Andy.

[Mrerikrivas]

I do not undestand the song

[mauritani987654]

the name is so good, its hilarious.

[Erickcinefilo113]

yeahhh!!! in the fields I remember you are incredible in the car with a girl promise me she s not youre world.....cause andy youre a star!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG IS MY SONG JAJA

[lostroxanduknowit]

hahahaha this song is so not gay! its just a cute little man crush

[ameflowers]

I Agree (:

[couturecutie367]

@lostroxanduknowit haha yes. For example, if I were a guy I would have a man crush on Brandon, unescapably :P

[lostroxanduknowit]

@couturecutie367 uumm who wouldnt? :)

[couturecutie367]

[ameflowers]

[minimalboy92]

[iheartbubbles12ily]

@WALKinMYworld hmm i know right <33

[Zeinishe]

I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG

[beth1234m]

love this song :D brandon flowers :D

[notkroqer2]

i'll definally say Sams town was my fav album of theirs, Yet any album they make will be epic imo. And i definally have them all and im pretty sure i have 2 copies of Saw dust idk how tho lol,

[basicboi23]

Robbie is my Star!

[LornaCullen]

no spamming but if you look at all of the live concerts, 2004, 2005,2006,2007,2008 brandons singigng gets less and less "good" becuase he has got really cocky and i wish he would just go back to the way he was in 2004 :(

[ZanessaFan4Lyfe28]

yeah i get what u mean. but i dnt know i like him more now. since he got more cocky he knows how to put on a show. just saw them in concert oct 1

[LornaCullen]

i know what you mean :) as long as he is good on cd and concert

as long as his voice goes completey rubbish but he is less shy now and smexy when he gets in to it LMAO!

[killafan99]

that is so true..and ive gone off him a bit aswll

[MarcusKiner]

Funny, I thought he has gotten better...

[LornaCullen]

i know what you mean, he has gotten better and he has gotten worser but i think its just becuase he has changed his style and we need to get used to it

[MarcusKiner]

Face it, the old style was for preteens and O.C. clones.

[LornaCullen]

HEY i liked his old style

[MarcusKiner]

Well it's true, look at the attire, and the songs are more on the poppy side.

Hot Fuss=Pre teen pop hipster stuff, it was okay when I was like 14/15, but you grow out of it.

Sam's Town= EPIC WIN

Sawdust=EPIC WIN

Day and Age= Something new, but still EPIC WIN

[ETCksft]

I love HOT FUSS

[LornaCullen]

THIS RIVER IS WILD!!!

[Underthegun369]

One of my all time favorite albums!!

[pinballwizard8394]

i'd KILL to be andy...

beside the fact, ronnie is SHMEXY!

[Hitman56907]

Wow dude , where are you from?

[regmorg16]

Nephi...

[regmorg16]

Andy is my history teacher! not even kidding, same Andy... Brandon lived in my town before he moved to Vegas...

[LornaCullen]

lol

[CrazehMike]

"Andy" is a PE teacher...

[regmorg16]

Correct, He teaches PE, History, Last year he had a "weight lifting" class, which was actually a wrestling class. And he is a wrestling and football coach.

[CrazehMike]

What are his views on this song?

[yourmutation]

Whaaaaaaaatt?

Hey shut up!

Really??

[motorlarimaviliklere]

I miss his indie hair

[amkd215]

the killers are AMAZING performers

[irockyoursox]

I agree! I saw them live not too long ago...AMAZING LIVE!!!!!

[Pedrotankian]

It's pretty hilarious how people spread false rumours and believe the assorted crap that others spread. Brandon Flowers is married, a dedicated husband and father, and expecting his 2nd child with his wife. Give the b.s. a rest people and grow up.....They are probably the best touring live act out there now

[add1ctedg33k]

I wanna cover

[LSbaseballfreak4]

im srry but this is just me if i was in a band which im not and sum1 wanted us to play a song bout sum girl or dude that i dont really kno i wouldnt do it but prob unlike the killers the band knos him.

[zantihanson]

I think he´s bisexual. I love him anyway.

[welovejuniorband]

I dont think he's bi, just curious :)

[xxfnordxx235]

He's checking the microphone volume and says "get down, heyyyyyy". just to test the mic.

[anagabriella1]

ummm nooo

that part is actually in the song originally

[jonhalevi]

look at 1:31

i think he says: now get down andy... or something like that... isn't he?

[yourmutation]

Jaja

Maybe

A little bit gay

[StarsiderZes]

Andy IS a star.

2:49

[Jesso21]

brandon flowers has the best voice ever. he also looks great with longish hair, i wish it was like that now :)

[LEOFLOYD1225]

best song of the killers!!!

[Zeinishe]

epic

[thekillersRULE221]

can i ask one very simple question. WHO DOESNT LOVE THIS SONG?!?!?!?!?!
