Hahahaha. This is one of the dumbest things i’ve ever read. I mean, how could BRANDON FLOWERS think so highly of himself? How could anyone think of themselves this highly? He thinks he’s better and more deserving than Nirvana AND LED ZEPPELIN? That’s so wack.
Yeah sure, the Killers can write a pop hit, but they don’t have much to say do they? Are they pushing any boundaries? Nope.
He’s probably spouting nonsense like this for publicity, and it’s working! Can you hear me chocking over there in England, Brandon?
I can’t help but feel badly for Brooklyn’s Chairlift, a decent, if silly, band that moved to a major (Columbia). They’re about to go on tour with The Killers. Is this their punishment from the karma gods??

i think they’re from Vegas, not England. Which in no way diminishes your totally valid point about them sucking.

His comments aren’t all that provocative when read in context. What bothers me is their competitive nature. What the hell does “I want to knock ‘em all off!” mean? He wants to replace them? The greatest musicians share the top together…but each occupy their own unique place. They pushed the boundaries indeed, but in different directions. So if The Killers are following the same direction as Zepplin – or Nirvana – they’ll have to a.) pick one or the other and b.) get used to looking up.
