Does anyone here like The Killers?

[donco6]

I'm listening to Sam's Town - it's just f-ing fantastic. I can't stop listening to it.

[eyesroll]

1. When I listen to The Killers, I hear their lighting guy more than anything.

:shrug:

[sammythecat]

2. I know I've heard them a few times,

but right now I can't remember their sound.

I really like their name, though. I'd like to be in a band known as "The Killers". :thumbsup:

[donco6]

4. I'd say Springsteen roots, with David Bowie overtones.

Kinda hypnotic, IMO.

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Their first album was more of a New Order vibe.

They even got their name from a New Order video.

[rockymountaindem]

14. Definately Springsteen roots

The lyrics reflect the Boss' kind of desperate optimism that I love so much. I'm an avid listener to the Killers' music in the car and at the gym.

3. and sometimes you close your eyes and see the place where you used to live...

When you were young...

love them, Love Them, LOVE THEM!!! :hi:

6. Help me Get Down!

My sugar sweet is so attainable
This behaviour so unexplainable
The days just slip and slide
Like they always did
The trouble is my head
Won't let me forget

I took one last good look around
So many unusual sounds
I gotta get my feet on the ground

Help me get down,
I can make it (ohhhhh...)
Help me get down,
I can make it, help me get down
Help me get down
I can make it, help me get down
If I only knew the answer...
I wouldn't be bothering you, father,

This song just kills me - no pun intended.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I don't believe they have ever written a bad song.

I always find myself getting twisted up in the lyrics.

[Jamastiene]

5. I do. I honestly don't think I would be

watching Jericho every week now if they hadn't started their pilot episode with "All These Things I've Done" by the Killers. That's a great song too, btw. What a wonderful song with dynamics that take you out of this world.

[donco6]

8. I'll look for that one, too. Thanks. n/t

[Nevernose]

7. Sam's Town has a lousy coffee shop.

The album's pretty good, though.

[donco6]

10. Hey, I won $500 there last time I went!

Of course, it was because I was so stupid.

I accidently picked a $5 slot poker, fed in a $20, picked "Max" and hit 4 aces. Of course, that was only 4 coins instead of 5. I would have won like $5,000 if I'd known what I was doing. Doh!

[ghostsofgiants]

12. I haven't really listened to "Sam's Town" but I loved "Hot Fuss."

[Wapsie B]

13. No, but I've always loved The Killer

;-)

[judaspriestess]

15. the Killers are an extremely talented band

we really like them alot. I also love OKGO.

[donco6]

16. OK Go - yes.

I like them a lot too. And Modest Mouse.

[mvd]

17. I haven't bought Sam's Town yet, but I plan to

Underrated CD. I do have Hot Fuss and like it a lot.

[donco6]

21. I can't imagine your not liking it.

There just isn't a bad song in the bunch.

[Radical Activist]

18. great band.

I still haven't bought their new album yet.

[Scooter24]

19. I love the song "When you were young"

personally my fave on the whole CD.

[donco6]

22. I like that one, but my current fav is "Why Do I Keep Counting."

I have father issues . . .

[mopinko]

20. DH- killer fan

says- is sam's town the new disc? haven't heard anything about the new disc, except that it is a sell out. they are the best 80's music since the 80's.
