Vote for the Killers!!! newsroom.mtv.com/2011/08/12/best-vma-rock-performance/ WE ARE LOSING AND WE HAVE TO WIN!!! like this so everyone will see it!
well you have to understand this IS 2004 when they first started out, hardly any experience. watch some of the latest perfromances from 2008+. he also gets nervous on stage sometimes so he sounds shakey, but he does great.
@davidlivingston123 well you obviously havent seen him lately have you? Watch "Bones" live on "later with jools holland" or any Jools Holland performance after "Sam's Town" for that matter...Watch his live Flamingo performances and if you feel the same way then you're lying to yourself.
he sings this song with much more emotion than he does now...probably because it was more recent with his cheating girlfriend, its like you can still see and hear the fuckin pain in his face and voice. now his life is good so it doesnt have as much meaning anymore. i love to see their early performances
O comon listen to all Live concerts, Brandon still struggles with his vocals, he runs out of breath, cause no proper vocal compression for higher notes. I guess nobody cares.
yeah we dont....when you feel music nothing matters ....brandon flowers has great lyric writing ability thats why their were their at......amazing solid talent..

it's so amazing how far they killers have come especially brandon in his stage performance like i seen them back in may in cleveland and brandon was running around the stage just having a good time.
I have nothing against this band, but I just don't think that they're too good, at least live. Every single video I see of them, Brandon's voice is always off. People always try to make excuses for it, but it is like that in every single live video of them I've seen.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Honestly, I wouldn't want to see them LIVE after this. The live bands out there that truly are, or were good can prove to anyone that they're good without them having to be there. They can perform live, and have it be a mirror image of the studio version, or they can change it up, and make the song even better than it already is. I don't need to know what it feels like at one of their concerts. I go to hear good music, and that's why I don't like The Killers.
2004, during Inland Invasion in the States. I think this is when they just started to get popular there...they were already selling out in the UK a little before that.
I know what you mean - unforuntaely there are not a lot of bands that sound as good live as in a studio. Also, outside gigs are are a bitch to EQ as you cant account for wind etc
where abouts was this because they never seem to show in any of the songs that they played here...any clues??? thanks the killers tho are just omg amazing live aswell the other night was just mind blowing they try soooooooo hard to make it perfect and it pays offf everytime :)
I usually hate long hair on guys, there are only two guys in my opinion who have ever really pulled it off, and one of them is Dave Keuning, I love his hair (the other is William Beckett). Love The Killers
Wow, I love the first album so much, every song is hooky and brilliant. Things I love about this video: 1. Ronnie (drummer) looks like he's from a 60's beach party movie, 2. The bass player has a constant grimace, as if he's suspicious of the audience, and also the drum ad-libs in the middle.
I think it's so funny you got thumbs down for this. The Killers are my favorite band & I think Brandon is an amazing singer, but you're right. He is flat in some parts here. It's okay to admit it guys! Brandon would agree himself. He's amazing now though..his voice just gets stronger as the years go by.
lol the third live performance ive watched in a row and in every performance you see ronnie going crazy on him drums, the facials expressions and all, he really gets in to the music
Yeah i agree I love this old look (not their newer look that acutally makes them look old) but the killers are still awweeesomme and they still are one of my fave bands..but still..i like their old look best..
lovethissong! gotta gotta be down because i want mit all, it started all with a kiss how did it end uo like this? it was only a kiss it was only a kiss :) <3 i LOVE BRANDON FLOWERS!!
