10 reasons why i hate The Killers

1. the suck big time

2. the songs make no sense. Example “Now she’s smoking a cab, and she’s doing her hair, and I’m getting quite bored, rather wrestle a bear...”, or “Somebody Told Me, You had a boyfriend, looked like a ladyboy, I write like a schoolboy...” and so on.

3. If the Rolling Stones hate them that is worth gold Review - "Why, Killers? Why? It's the oldest story in the New Wave book: (1) Boys get famous wearing makeup and acting tarty to impress girls; (2) Boys wash off makeup and act sincere to impress boys; (3) It never works. Loads of the original New Wave bands fell into this trap, the Killers take themselves too seriously'.

4. they are mormons. Now don't read this as some crazy anti-religious plot, because i have nothing against any other mormon. just The Killers. obviously part of the reason they are so crap is because unlike all other excess lovin' rock n rollers', they just have not had enough sex or drugs, or both in large doses. And look how important that is in music making.

5. chances are that if you hate alternative rock bands with heavy use of the synthesizer, you're probably going to hate The Killers. As PopMatters.com put it: Some might be a tad uncomfortable with the prominence of the synths and Flowers' rather theatrical delivery. Tad uncomfortable!? makes me feel positively ill.

6. Lead singer Brandon Flowers refers to the Sam's Town one of the best albums of the past 20 years. Wanker. Enough said.

7. .Flowers has recently gone on record claiming that Green Day's politically driven concept album American Idiot displays "calculated Anti-Americanism." He explained that he has problems with the album content itself and also the fact that the band's recent live DVD, Bullet in a Bible, was filmed overseas. Stating that he feels Green Day's DVD is a bit of a stunt, he went on to say that he feels The Killers' most recent release, Sam's Town, is a much more accurate representation of American culture. What the?

8. the Lead singers name is Brandon Flowers. How more pouncey and Las Vegas do they wanna get.

9. The song Bones: "Don’t you wanna come with me? Don’t you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It’s only natural Don’t you wanna swim with me"? They sardistic freaks.

10. they just suck big time.

"It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument."- William Gibbs McAdoo (1863-1941)

Hi, I actually think their new album is much better than their first. I kinda liked them when they came out with their first record. Their latest LP is really clever and neat though.

BTW, Rolling Stone magazine is for mostly non-hipsters. So they dont know much about good music anyway.

"they just have not had enough sex or drugs, or both in large doses"
Seriously?
I can't believe that someone can think that way.
It's about music not about doing crazy stuff.
First, you should use valid and constructive arguments.
Second, you should search their songs lyrics on google before write it all wrong.
Third, if you can't ear good alternative rock songs that break the monotonie of the futile world of pop music, you should shut up.
Really, although I like The Killers, i can ear critics, but not in that racist way, and you just say that because you don't like this kind of music.

people, chill! the author obviously knew that those weren't the actual lyrics, it's clearly a joke about how childish they sound.

also, it is obvious that the author does not like the killers. if you DO like the killers, i'd suggest not reading this - you are not going to agree.

love

Ha ha!! These comments just prove that Killers fans are stupid and obviously take things far too seriously.
Also, Mormonism isn't a race, it's a religion, so how is the author being racist?
Stop wanking each other off, synth pop twats!!

Anonymous said...

we understand you dont like the killers but a lot of people do. the reason there are critics are to clarify what people don't like about certain things.. a good critic doesn't just say 'they suck big time' multiple times and just throw on wrong lyrics [i get it your just making fun of them but still]. their lyrics ACTUALLY mean something... are you telling us that you would prefer the repetitive 'i love sex' of all the new songs on the radio? i know i sound like an 80 year old but im a teenager and they mean a lot to me.

critics give ACTUAL reasons for why they don't like something/somebody, and we may seem like we 'take things too seriously' but we'd understand if youd give information to support this.. not just saying 'oh brandon flowers? hes so gay.' like so many other posts say... so what? what does that have to do with the music?

fall out boy is good you dick head the killers are shit. i mean in the song spaceman they have a verse that goes
"my global positioning system system is vocal addressed,
they say the Nile used to run from east to west,
use to run from east to west"
it's stupid and sucks and they scare me as well their songs and vids don't make sense!!! WTF???

HUMAN or DANCER? Now there's a great question. I bet he needed something to rime with ANSWER therefore -> DANCER! Wow such inspiration... also, repeat it about 20 times in the song for good measure. The Killers are an example of how deep the music scene has sunk.
Should have put it HUMAN or WANKER. Although I know the ANSWER to that one.

I love The Killers. I hate you.

Mr.Brightside is such a legend song.
Almost everyone has heard of it.
You have to really think about lyrics when it comes to The Killers.
For the people who have a problem with the lyrics? Oh I'm sorry that they don't rant on about sex and drugs and hoes.
The Killers are an amazing fucking band and if you disagree then okay, just don't go on and on about how much they "suck".
They're famous aren't they? They've won award for "Best Album" haven't they? Yes.
If they "sucked" so much, they wouldn't have made it this far, jack-asses.

romanvagabond said...

I don't care for your opinion much, especially not since it's stated so poorly. Anyway: It's just the singer of The Killers who is a mormon. The bass player is an atheist, the drummer is catholic and the guitar player is raised Christian but I don't know how religious he is nowadays.

And a last name is a last name, it's actually because he's from Scottish descent and his forefathers took that name from Scotland.

Carlodys Almeyda said...

Hey man don't leave your cave... The world has changed a lot since you decided to stop thinking like a rational being.

What amazed me is that your opinions are very good fundamented...
1) They suck big time
10) They just suck big time.

PD: I'm worst than you, because I'm replying to this thing :P

Brett said...

You and your "review" are absolute jokes. Half of the reasons you list are hardly legitimate. Learn some grammar, get your facts/lyrics straight and try again, maybe people will actually take you seriously. The Killers are probably the greatest band of this new century. Pay a little less attention to minuscule and irrelevant facts such as the lead singer's name and find some actual dirt if you're going to make a valid attempt at criticizing them.

Your argument is that the band The Killers “sucks.” However, you have made a very bad argument because your premises do not support, or make it rational, to believe your conclusion; The Killers are a bad band.
Your first premise states that their songs make no sense. However, the lyrics you have posted are incorrect. The first set of lyrics you’ve posted are from the song “Mr. Brightside” and go “Now I’m falling asleep, And she’s calling a cab, While he’s having a smoke, And she’s taking a drag” which makes perfect sense in the context of the song. The second set of lyrics you posted from the song “Somebody Told Me” go “Well somebody told me, You had a boyfriend, Who looked like a girlfriend, That I had in February of last year” which also makes sense in the song’s context. So you’re point that their “songs make no sense” is invalid.
Your second premise is that if Rolling Stone hates them “that is worth gold.” This premise can easily be disproved simply by looking at the quote you’ve provided. Nowhere in the quote does the word ‘hate’ or even ‘dislike’ appear. They simply state that The Killers take themselves too seriously, which could be said about many successful music groups and has nothing to do with the quality of music produced by the band.
Your third premise is that they suck because they are Mormons. You basically kill any validity this premise may have had by saying this does not apply to any other Mormons. That implies severe prejudice against only this one band and that refutes all your credibility in making a rational argument. Also, there are many other musicians that practice the Mormon faith and other strong religious beliefs including David Archuleta, Dishwalla, Kaskade, Arthur “Killer” Kane, Low, Switchfoot, and Anberlin, who safely prove excessive sex and drugs are not necessary to be successful musicians.
In your fifth premise you state that Flowers, the lead singer, said that Sam’s Town was one of the best albums of the past 20 years and this is a reason to dislike them. However, in 2009 Rolling Stone readers voted it the “most underrated album of the decade” and it is Platinum in the U.S. and 4x Platinum in the U.K., so there are many people who would agree with Flowers’ statement.
Your seventh premise indicates the audience should hate the band because the lead singer’s name is too “Las Vegas”. However, he has never changed his name and Brandon Flowers is his legal name he was given at birth, therefore should not be taken into consideration in a review of the band.
Therefore, your argument is bad and invalid because your premises do not support your conclusion (that The Killers suck), nor do your premises make it rational to believe your conclusion.

The killers are terrible because they're a band created by the industry.

The music is a pale comparison to the new wave bands they imitate.

The singer looks like a complete douche even in their videos, and is painful to watch on a stage.

And he's calling green day unamerican? Do we need more reasons to hate these toolbags?

I like the Killers a lot. Your argument was poorly constructed and childish. I like the variety that they give out. I've never heard a song by them that was similar to another. I'm not one of those fan girls who talks about them constantly and has posters all over her wall but they're still my favourite band. I don't see why you be so childish and make a thread about why they 'suck'.

Anonymous said...

Okay, we get it you don't like the Killers and I'm not judging, not everyone likes them. But you saying that they're not good enough for you because they don't have enough sex and take enough drugs? WOW... Real good role model because that's what makes people "cool." Do you note the sarcasm?

What he was implying was that in the age where rockstars enjoyed making music because they had sex and drugs whenever wherever, they wanted to put effort into it; Love your job? Good, well just keep doing it, do it good, and you can reap the benefits. <- It's a good enough comparison without breaking it down into ethics but you can understand my point.
