@@edpearson8973I feel like calling hot fuss the best album you’ve ever heard is a pretty respectable take. All of the singles are iconic and there are plenty of non-signal tracks that are as good as or better than the singles. Plus the flow of the album from one song to the next is incredible on this album.
The song is so effortlessly sinister, the way the chorus changes from “she couldn’t scream as I held her close” to “she kicked and screamed as I held her throat” and the fact he refers to Jenny in the past-tense “she WAS a friend of mine”
Great song and cool to see that crowd go nuts. I bet it was pretty awesome for those in attendance. London you did the world proud... Also RIP Jenny Levin... Didn't know this song was about your story until I heard the case on the My Favorite Murder podcast and they mentioned the song was inspired by the interrogation of Robert Chambers after he killed her.
Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine is an underatted track but it's amazing. That catchy, singy bassline is the first thing of the Killers that you get attached to. I'm glad the band realized how memorable that bassline is that the crowd sung it.
*This* is why my dream is to write a one-hit wonder. Don't want to perform it. Just want to see a moment of perfection like this without any of the people knowing it was mine.
@@politicalbandwagon4989 I want to be, not saying they are. They're actually in the middle of making a comeback, though they never really went anywhere.
@CallmeA_B they never went anywhere?? Jeez you have high standards for what equates to success. They're one of the most successful rock bands in the UK this millennium.
@NiallDornan Clarification obviously needed: "They never really went anywhere" as in they've continued to sell out arenas and continued to make music. But yes, my standards are that high. 😌
@@CallmeA_BEvery album went number 1 in the UK and they have had some actual artistic variation in their sound (unlike the vast majority other post punk bands). The Strokes, Monkeys, Kaiser Chiefs, etc, great as they are, could never write a song like West Hills
look for the "murder trilogy" or something called like that. JWAFOM is the last part of the story, Midnight Show and Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf are the other ones. In live versions, brandon sings "she kicked and screamed while I held her throat" instead of "while I held her close", showing that he was actually the murderer of his girlfriend.
I think it's cool how they change the lyrics sometimes, "she couldn't scream while I held her close" to "she kicked and screamed while I held her throat" ... Kind of a scary song when you think about it! Wonder where they got the inspiration for it.... :•
I had no idea until my teacher in a criminal justice class started telling us about the "Preppy murder" case, and it was exactly like the song. It was inspired by an actual murder in the 80s.
Yo tenia el disco de ese concierto. Desafortunadamente lo regale en mi edad de escuincle baboso (14 años) a una amiga de la cual hoy no se nada de ella. Me lo regalo mi tío. Hoy le arrepiento mucho de ello. No por alguna historia triste. Pero estaba bien chido, hasta la portada era hermosa. En ese entonces no estaba tan corrompido y no escuchaba regueton. pibche biega, debuelbeme mi puto disco :'v
We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go She couldn't scream while I held her close I swore I'd never let her go Tell me what you want to know Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on There ain't no motive for this crime Jenny was a friend of mine So come on, oh come on, oh come on I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time For me to go, so let me know if it's alright I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth She couldn't scream while I held her close I swore I'd never let her go Tell me what you want to know Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on And then you whisper in my ear I know what you're doing here So come on, oh come on, oh come on There ain't no motive for this crime Jenny was a friend of mine Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Freaking love the killers Ronnie is a brilliant drummer, Ronnie is one of my favourite bass players Dave is a one of kind guitarists and don’t get me started on how much of a outstanding frontman Brandon is and his voice is blows my mind it amazing. Thanks for my whole life the killers
That bass hook is really tremendous.
“Barbarism Begins at Home”
Hooky is the best. Long live New Order/Joy Division!
@@arthurandrade7437 the smiths**
@@IAMJAYX yes. I love the smiths as well!
MOGWAI - Ex Cowboy
Love when it's the bass players time to shine
the unsung heroes of a lot of bands
Leaving a comment here so that everytime it is liked it reminds me to come here again
that bass...nice job...
Bass guitar in this song... pure gold
That’s Mark Stoermer.
I just revisited hot fuss and it’s better than every album I’ve ever heard
You need to listen to more music.
@@edpearson8973 sure there are better albums, but hot fuss is an excellent album 10/10

@@politicalbandwagon4989You need to listen to more music too. I like hot fuss but there's a lot of music that sounds better
This was the peak of the Killers
Great live band, worked at a music club saw them on the hot fuss tour blew me away, cheers
You weren't blew away enough.
I was there. Superb night and my fave track by TK.
lucky you! this concert is amazing
Omg you are so lucky!!! I so wish I could have gone
Every song from this concert is incredible! That crowd seems like one of the hypest that I've seen from live concert videos.
0:35 is what I live for
The song is so effortlessly sinister, the way the chorus changes from “she couldn’t scream as I held her close” to “she kicked and screamed as I held her throat” and the fact he refers to Jenny in the past-tense “she WAS a friend of mine”
The band sounded great and the crowd was as well. Great show for sure.
That place looks packed and on and poppin lol great performance!
Jenny was not a friend of the six people who gave this video a thumbs down
0:34 se me pone la piel de gallina. Increíble.
Tienes que ir a verlos en concierto fue un experiensa unica
☝🏻😎 That Bass line🎧🎶 is Amazing...
l know right? I'm medically unable to play my bass anymore. But if I could I would sit down and play and I wouldn't stop until I nailed it.
@@Kodeekat 😔sorry men , I hope in God that everything it's better with you now , and you can do whatever you like and used to .
They lifted it from barbarism begins at home by the smiths, another great song!
Great song and cool to see that crowd go nuts. I bet it was pretty awesome for those in attendance. London you did the world proud... Also RIP Jenny Levin...

hot crowd.... great bass..... great song
I am in awe!
A Masterpiece
Sooooo, who's got a time machine..if so take me back to this time please!!!
I saw them a few weeks ago at Lollapalooza Chile, they still pretty amazing, I recommend them 100% :)
Sick ass bass playing

The bass and druns doing show
Ryan Reynolds is literally playing the drums. Fantastic.
And Brandon Flowers is literally singing. Wow. Whatever next.
Mexican Ryan Reynolds sure.
No it’s Brett Gelman!
Pre Blade Trinity? lol

Great band mark great on bass would of loved to have been there
In this version, it's as Max quoted it. They change it sometimes during performances. Brandon did it last night at Wembley as well :)
This song is amazing.
That was BADASS❤❤❤
Perfectly crafted song.
Bahhhh that bass solo 😍😭
This is so dark but I love it! 😍
play this version at my funeral.... :))
Can I help with that?
I'll never forgive their sound guy for how low they mixed the guitar on this tour.
BASSSSSS. ALWAYS MORE BASSS! brilliant
I can feel Talking Heads influence. Really great
I like this song all. The time❤
I had this cd
love jenny 2021
"London, WHAT YOU GOT!" 3:30 on.... Brandon and London make sweet music babies
Absolutely blows, incredible scenes
Saw tiempo twice, 2007 and 2012.
Mark!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍

McKenzie Sumsion The whole first album is a concept album, focusing on the murder of Jenny 👍
@@chrischarlescook nearly right... it's the last part of a 'Murder Trilogy' with Midnight Show and Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf
check out middle 8’s video on the murder trilogy, really interesting:]]
❤
14 anos se passaram e ainda sou apaixonado pela menina que aparece aos 2:39
Yo tenia el disco de ese concierto. Desafortunadamente lo regale en mi edad de escuincle baboso (14 años) a una amiga de la cual hoy no se nada de ella. Me lo regalo mi tío. Hoy le arrepiento mucho de ello. No por alguna historia triste. Pero estaba bien chido, hasta la portada era hermosa. En ese entonces no estaba tan corrompido y no escuchaba regueton. pibche biega, debuelbeme mi puto disco :'v
La cagaste, viejo. :L
What? Pardon?!? You know this place is for English speakers only, surely. No hablo espangnol etc etc etc
Tha bass line is very strong
Holy FK wasn't expecting that at 3.30, what an ending. Would kill to have been there
Go mark
I find it funny at 2:54 the way he says I know
MARK!
🙌
This song makes me want to by a bass guitar so bad.
We took a walk that night, but it wasn't the same
We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain
She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you want to know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
I know my rights, I've been here all day and it's time
For me to go, so let me know if it's alright
I just can't take this, I swear I told you the truth
She couldn't scream while I held her close
I swore I'd never let her go
Tell me what you want to know
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
And then you whisper in my ear
I know what you're doing here
So come on, oh come on, oh come on
There ain't no motive for this crime
Jenny was a friend of mine
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
just learned the bass line
hello jenny my friend
*"THERE AINT NO MOTIVE FOR THIS CRIME!! CUZ JENNY WAS A FRIEND OF MINE!!~"*
Of all the inane comments here, you win my friend, you win.
Could someone explain what the song is about? Love? Infidelity?
THATS SOME MEAN BASS THERE
Freaking love the killers Ronnie is a brilliant drummer, Ronnie is one of my favourite bass players Dave is a one of kind guitarists and don’t get me started on how much of a outstanding frontman Brandon is and his voice is blows my mind it amazing. Thanks for my whole life the killers
Mark for bass player
Ronnie does bass and drums? This is new to me lol
Спасибо холмам за ссылку) кто знает, тот поймет)
Pardon?
MAGIC 98.73
heather was a friend of mine.
They had everything and judt screw up
I'm pretty sure it's "While I held her close." ;)
I prolly woulda killed Jenny myself just to be at this concert 😍
You do realize that Jenny was a real person, right?
How can you even say that?!? You bastard, Jenny was a friend of mine, yer know...
Kylie Jenner has omniheal (Ground/Fairy) Charli(e) XCX
Too fast
Is it just me or does the bassist low key look like Kurt
clearly inspired by the Smiths- Barbarism Begins at Home
"She kicked and screamed while I held her throat"
Going with a bass line live just doesn't hit like it should
Cannot hear the guitar in this mix at all. Sound engineer was awful
🥺🥺 temoooooon
