    About The Killers:
    The Killers are a Las Vegas-based four-piece who formed in 2003, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vanucci, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades for their artistic achievement, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, NME Awards and more.Their first album, Hot Fuss, was released in 2004 to worldwide acclaim.The album contained the singles “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me,” in addition to the anthemic song “All These Things That I’ve Done,” which has since been referenced by the likes of U2 and Coldplay.The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss, playing more than four-hundred shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album with legendary producers Alan Moulder and Flood.The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sam’s Town, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200.A b-sides collection entitled Sawdust was released in 2007, followed by their third studio album, Day & Age, which was released to widespread critical praise in 2008, anchored by massive single “Human.”The Killers released Battle Bornin September 2012, which saw them expanding their world tour into countries they’ve never visited before, and finally were honored to perform at the world-renowned Wembley Arena, one of the most monumental and significant shows of their career.After a decade of making music, in November 2013, The Killers released a “Best Of” collection, Direct Hits, which featured two incredible new songs alongside classics from the band’s revered catalogue.The band, who have sold over twenty-five million albums worldwide, and headlined all of the world’s top festivals (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury), released their newest studio album, Wonderful Wonderful, in September 2017, where it landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart the week of its release, as well a stopping the charts in the U.K. and Australia. The album is the band’s fifth consecutive number one in the U.K., and Brandon Flowers’ seventh U.K. number one overall.

    Very few artists can sound like they do on their album, and Brandon is def one of them. No auto tune bullshit needed for his voice . He (in my opinion) is one of the best singers ever.

      @@Stark-Raving I think the mixture of animation and live action with the same characters in the Mr. Brightside video they use for the video for this song, it's the same person looking back at the same moment in time, but with a new point of view, clearer, yet still emotional, as he says in the lyrics - "The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear
      But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear
      Miss Atomic Bomb".

    @sbe79 11 років тому +108

    To everyone who is hating on the crowd... I've been to show tapings. Not Letterman, but others similar. The crowd was likely instructed to act subdued during the filming so to not interfere with the performance. It's not like a concert. You get a major tutorial how to behave before filming begins and anyone who acts out is immediately removed and it's all edited out. Hell, before you even come they send a dress code to your house. You are instructed on what colors are appropriate to wear or even what style. It's very specific and you are judged by assistants the instant you walk in the door even as to even where you sit, because only the ones they choose appear on camera in the sweeping crowd shots. This is a great performance, but the crowd acted as directed if they wanted to stay.

    • @jenniferkonstant5920
      @jenniferkonstant5920 7 років тому +10

    • @sbe79
      @sbe79 6 років тому +3

      Back when they shot, Martha Stewart and Tyra Banks sent dress codes in e-mail. Certain colors would not be tolerated and honestly Tyra gave me a Gap sweater to cover the fact that they hated my green polo shirt.

    You were standing with your girlfriends in the street
    Falling back on forever, I wonder what you came to be
    I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes
    I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' lies
    When I look back on those neon lights
    The leather seats, the passage rite
    I feel the heat, I see the light
    Miss Atomic Bomb
    Making out, we've got the radio on
    You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
    You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
    Racing shadows under moonlight
    Through the desert on a hot night
    And for a second there we'd won
    Yeah, we were innocent and young
    Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart
    So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part
    It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back
    You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack
    Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black
    You should have seen your little face, burnin' for love
    Holdin' on for your life
    All that I wanted was a little touch,
    A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no
    Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time
    Miss Atomic Bomb
    Making out we've got the radio on
    You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
    You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
    Racing shadows under moonlight
    We're taking chances on a hot night
    And for a second there we'd won
    Yeah we were innocent and young
    The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear
    But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear
    Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here
    Sweat on my skin
    And this love that I've cradled
    Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb)
    But I'm standing here and you're too late
    Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate
    It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (it's a proving ground)
    You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn it to chance)
    Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a loser's game)
    You should have seen your little face, burning for love,
    (Miss Atomic Bomb)
    Holdin' on for your life
    But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch)
    When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much)
    There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
