The Killers

[Axl Z]

Just checked Play.com, here in the UK The Killers have a huge following and their new album is out the same day as CD, from the looks of the pre-sale chart its out-selling it too!!

Do you think CD being a straight number one album matters? Would you feel like it wasn't a successful comeback if The Killers got the top spot?
I'm gonna hold back on buying it until the week after CD, just curious for other peoples thoughts!

killers first album = good
killers second album = 
killers new single = 

im in uk also, and dont understand the fuss concerning the killers. i think it WILL outsell GnR, because the uk has no clue.

I don't understand why people are excited for the Killers new release. They have one pretty cool album, but their last album was underwhelming (there was maybe one memorable song on it), and the new single seems to continue this trend of mediocrity.

killers.

indie.


crap.

The Killers stand a good chance of beating CD to number one. Our charts are very media driven and at the moment it's important that the younger, hyped band continues to have its fifteen minutes. I shouldn't spend any time worrying about it.

The truth is, The Killers started out good but got bad quickly. Many haven't caught on to this yet. Unfortunately, we're huge fans of bad indie in the UK. At least CD should beat the likes of Razorlight and Kaiser Chiefs in sales.

True, I don't think the UK Indie scene ever recovered from Be Here Now!
I remember reading an Oasis interview where Noel said the solo in Live Forever was inspired by his secret love of GN'R!

lol seriously?

Yeah! It was in Select Magazine around '94-'95, he wanted the solo to be double the length but his producer refused to let him!, He was stood on the side of stage at Rio once too and congratulated them after!!

awesome stuff.

i always wondered whether they were fans of guns or not.

i remember them dedicated a song to him at the Rio show they did when i watched on youtube, but i thought that was out of tribute to his onstage madness!

There used to be an interview with Oasis on that show and Axl Rose but its not been on the net for a long time.

if someone could find it, gimme a link!!!

Anyone know where gnr members past n present. including Axl of course stand on Oasis?

The Killers are Irrelevant in America now days. Well it appears that GNR will fucking kill them.

okay, not sure why this was moved to off topic as asked a few questions in my first post but there you go!!

Day & Age leaked a few days ago, it's very good - I'm happy they chose more of a sound that resembled the first album rather than Sam's Town.

I'll buy it next Tuesday.

I really like this band, specially Brandon?s voice...The new album is The Killers back to basics, considering Sam?s Town(which is awesome btw) is a guitar record. The new one is new wave 2008!!!

[Eazy E]

Hmmm.. I just read the recent posts in this thread, you guys really thought Sam's Town was a bad record?   I liked half of their first CD, but I thought on the whole Sam's Town was much better. 

I'm going to wait until Monday to buy the new CD (I think having Chinese Democracy should make the wait bearable).  I was definitely not blown away by "Human", but I still have hope for the CD.

Guns N' Roses, Kanye West & The Killers releasing CDs in the same week..... I'm almost POSITIVE that I'm the only one, but I think this is just amazing.

Never got into them. I liked Mr Brightside, havent really got into anything else.

Did you ever listen to the 2nd album?

second album only had 2 good tracks IMO, kinda the same goes with the first record, maybe 3-4 good songs on the first

Thats because they fucking suck. To be frank.

Sorry but when it comes to this movement of artists, i fucking hate the lot of them.

I have all their albums, I even think their b-side album is great!
but all in all, Sam's Town is my favourite album.
both Sam's Town and Hot Fuss have barely any filler material IMO.

I like their synth sound more.
