Quote of the Day
Filed under: Quote of the Day > Brandon Flowers
“I was confident about Sam’s Town, even though it didn’t get the greatest reviews. That’s my biggest problem with America — I have a big chip on my shoulder. When I do an interview in Europe I get treated with respect, like I’m David Byrne. They love our ambition, they want us to do well. But not in America. I take it personally. We’re still learning, you know? But it’s not like the Killers are some tragedy. We’re a platinum band, after all. And so far, the reviews (for their new album, Day & Age) are light-years better. It already feels like things are turning around.”

Re: MOOSE-KNUCKLE IN THE JUNGLE!! – I ALWAYS LOVE YOUR PICTURES! I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW HOW YOU TAKE THEM. CAMERA, CELL?
This guy is a bigger douche bag than John Mayer and Pete Wentz put together. No one in Europe likes The Killers either. Maybe they're just more polite. The Killers might be the most pretentious band ever. Brandon Flowers is so transparent. He so badly wants to be important, he so badly wants to be taken seriously, he so badly wants to be poignant. But he's not. He lacks the talent, the originality, the intelligence and the creativity. He will never come close to being in the same stratosphere as David Byrne.
Does David Byrne still get respect?
Re: harrybalsac – HARRY, YOU WERE A BALL OF FIRE YESTERDAY! CAN WE GET MORE? WHERE IS MAJOR???

It is Wednesday isn't it?
boo-fuckin-hoo
see i loved Sam's Town. It was nice to see the band take a step from pop and adenture into their own creativities. I mean Hot Fuzz is an amazing entity all it's own, but Sam's Town showed real growth in my opinion
???????

Re: mama of 2 – Re: Sweetpiece! – Re: Big Black Dick – Re: harrybalsac – Morning….
Ugh, GO AWAY! I've listened to these guys and guess what, they will never be The Cars or The Cure or Tears for Fears no matter how much they try. Try innovating for a change, instead of just being a pretty boy fronting a rip off 80's band. Sick of this mediocre pop crap!
can you say, ego bruised?? how utterly oversensitive of him.
Um, not big in Europe???? The Killers are HUGE here in the UK. They've sold out Royal Albert Hall and the O2 arena and all their albums have got to no.1…i think that's what you'd call big.
I ♥ the Killers! I really, really hope the rest of America will realize what a great band they are with this new album!
Thanks for the post Perez!
never even heard of the killers til i had to play their song on guitar hero, its alright i guess. good luck with this mission dude. maybe more people in europe play gitar hero?
sams town was my favorite album from them….i dont know why it got such bad reviews.
the killers are amazing
They don't get respect in the US, because they SUCK!
I think the killers are quite good compared to other shit thats out *cough* jonas brothers*cough
hey, what was wrong with Sam's Town? i loved that cd
In America, you are only as good as your last hit …now you have to "fall, hit rock bottom, & then make a big comeback." You can pull that off in less than year now… Just look at Britney.
God he's delicious. I'd like to hold him down and shave off that porn stache though. The Killers are a great band. Every album is quality.
soooo dreamy
LOVE LOVE LOVE Brandon Flowers and the Killers!
The Killers are an awesome band, one of the few truly interesting bands getting any major play in the States these days.
my favorite mormon!!
i heart him.
my favorite mormon!!
i heart him. i miss the stache and love Sam's town.
You can only dream of ever being as talented as David Byrne, you fucking greasy cockroach. Ugh. DIE!
I actually like the Killers. What the fuck is he crying about? Are we supposed to kiss his feet when he comes here? You were on SNL dude, that's a dream to many bands.
Nothing wrong with their music but, he's a boring fucker!!
The Killers are awesome… And he isn't crying about not being famous enough, he's just sad that Sam's Town didn't do as well as he hoped for, but he's still happy about the success it did have. Seriously, it's like some of you people don't know how to read.
Aw. I love The Killers.
Sam's Town was actually my favorite album of theirs, I can't comprehend anyone NOT liking it, it's an amazing album…
Re: harrybalsac – I think you have a sick obsession with BF. You are ALWAYS leaving lame ass and quite rude comments to him, but the point here is you take the time to read the article on him, then go even further to login and leave numerous comments. Looks like someone might have a crush or just can't get enough of that "Flowers Fever"
Re: kellibelli – you've obviously never watched him live, far from boring…might wanna check out a performance.
I hate to bash Brandon because I like the Killers but please. You aint David Byrne. Not yet. And, the reason you don't get more respect in the US is because you came out with a glut of boy bandish, punk ultra lite crapola like Fall Out Boy. You really compounded things by putting out a very boybandy video for Mr Brightside, complete with celeb cameo, pretty boy frontman(complete with eye makeup)and slick and silly sets. Can you Byrne making such a dopey video? Hell no. Now, that you're popular in Britain does NOT equal being huge in Europe. Face it, you're big in one country, the UK. Maybe, someday, if you can separate yourselves from bands like FOB, you'll gain repect in the US. Either way, be thankful for what you've got and STOP WHINING. It's so not David Byrne.
Hey, douchebag - don't blame America, blame your lack of talent. It's apparently gotten to the point where a dead squirrel could go platinum, so The Killers aren't anything to get excited about.
he is soooo hot
Re: kit9 – Of all bands, you compared The Killers to Fall Out Boy? Lawl, they look and sound nothing alike, and never did. FOB makes faux punk music for emo wannabe thirteen year olds, and I don't see The Killers with emo fringes and wearing smudged eyeliner (Brandon's eyeliner back in the Hot Fuss days was applied neatly). And the Mr Brightside video was made five years ago, obviously they're not pretty boys anymore. The video was meant to be flamboyant, it doesn't have to be bland and boring because that's what the ~indie anti-boybands do. Oh and uh, you might wanna take a geography lesson - the UK is not 'one country'. It's four.
what a whiney little bitch! GET OVER IT! NOT EVERYONE WILL LIKE YOU!
Re: crtny –
I'll be there too!! Jan 20th. For all of you who commented on the stache, it's gone, yeah. ow he's even sexier. Also, how can an album that sold like 4 million copies be a failure? Some critics just like to hate. Sam's Town IS one of the best albums ever. Check it out.
