I tend to totally hate the third album (not enough guitar and riffage for my own state and too much synthe) but I'm a big fan of the amazing "Sawdust" they released around the same time.

BTW My Top Killers Tracks

1.All These Things That I've Done
2.Somebody Told Me
3.Sam's Town
4.Move Away
5.Daddy's Eyes
6.Under A Gun
7.Bones
8.Why Do I Keep Counting ?
9. Bling (Confessions Of A King)
10.Shadowplay

see i like d&a cause its diff but it doesnt havealot of guitar riffs, you right

ooh i really love sawdust as well, considering my fave song is off of it lol, but thats a very good list! i love all of those as well!!

Hey just my very opinion :)

I don't say Day And Age is "bad" and I'm all for a band trying to evolve and not doing the same stuff on each album.

Sadly I could not "connect" emotionnally to the third normal album.

Does not change the fact this band is brillant and I'm enjoying fully their Royal Albert Hall DVD :)

ooh i really love sawdust as well, considering my fave song is off of it lol, but thats a very good list! i love all of those as well!!

Thanks , just my humble opinion and personnal taste ;)

I tend to enjoy the tracks where the guitar/bass and drums are shining :D

I'm surprised it wasn't made a Sam's Town single at has a kinda single-like anthemness to it.

And to think, I was surprised when Bling made the Day & Age Tour set in the first place as I thought it was surely gonna be dropped.
Still, it sounded great live.

We got Sweet Talk and River is Wild too, which are both fantastic tracks live.

i was suprised as well. but it is amazing live.

ooooh im so jealous, i have yet to get sweet talk at a show and i saw them 4 times last tour.

ooh sams town is. i love it

Though I do own others of theirs of course, like All These Things That I've Done, Read My Mind, Somebody Told Me, etc. - the obvious ones. I've been thinking about buying Hot Fuss or Sam's Town though. Which one is better? :$

I was going to jump out and say "SAMS TOWN!!!!11111" but I guess it depends on what you enjoy the most. If you really like the synth sound, dancy sounds, then go for Hot Fuss. If you enjoy the guitars and a rawer sound, then Sam's Town should work for you.

Now I'm thinking of buying Hot Fuss to complete my collection (I already have ST, D&A, and Live RAH).
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Spaceman!! I don't know why but it's the song that I can relate to personally. Oh, and The River is Wild, too!

ps: and Why do I keep counting

lol i only warn people because i absolutely love it and some people dont lol :) i fell in love imediately with it :happy:

ooh you need to get sawdust too, for b-sides and rarities its really good as well.

Well that's definitively the last person I was thinking about to collaborate with them but since I like them both I'm totally fine with it !

Tom is well known for being very open minded musically and he has a voice that will compliments Mr Flowers one perfectly (like Lou Reed low pitched one did on Tranquilize).

Should be fun but my main concern about the next album is the overuse of synthes from Day and Age, and it's domination over the sound of the guitar and the bass on the last album...

Truly hope they're gonna change that, the guitar and bass are total part of their success and sound and while I do appreciate a track like Spaceman a lot live, I was bored with it on the album because of the total dominance of the keyboards over any guitar or bass...

BTW Sawdust stands more and more than an epic album , so much better than Day And Age .

A bullet in your WHAT ?

It should be spectacular. The Killers and Tom can sing Tom's greatest hits "What's New Pussycat?" and "It's not Unusual". :LOL:

Then they can do some songs off Tom's new gospel album "Praise & Blame". At the intermission, a preacher can lead us in prayer.

What's New Pussycat, whoa, whoa.......

A very very big bump but it appears TK are playing 3 shows in London next week - 2 at the Scala and a Hyde Park show.

With the dream of Muse at Reading now dead, I'm gonna come to one of these... but which one to go for... :erm:

Shows at the Scala in London 22nd 23rd June. Knowing the Killers the tickets for this won't be that cheap. I'm guessing £42.50 + p+p.

Maybe go to the one closest to you?
Scala is next to Euston station, where the trains out of the nearest station go to in London. So there, but I plan to be @ college when they're on sale.

Yeah just saw it. The only three people that I know would go - ones having a knee operation and the other two are at Glastonbury. Wondering whether its worth going on my own. Don't mind going on my own because theres no waiting for others for trains or anything. Saw Placebo on my own as well. Suppose it is a tiny venue so the price would be steep

Having seen Green Day alone and dealt fine I'm willing to try for either of these alone... but I'm not sure which one.

Supply and demand would seem the key but its more expensive to do Hyde Park. Though for that I presume that fee also goes to Kaiser Chiefs and James, who are playing before Brandon and co.

A Dustland Fairytale is one of my least favourites on the album :erm:. And Goodnight Travel Well and The World We Live In - all the others I enjoy.
Day & Age is a pretty good album, I don't think it's as bad as people make it out to be. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do for the 4th album ;)

This. Some of the songs really came into their own live too, Spaceman being an obvious example. Got to admit it's my least favourite Killers album though, I even prefer Sawdust.

MartinSM

16-06-2011, 06:47 PM

Dustland is possibly my favourite Killers song, it's so gorgeous. Couldn't care much for most of the rest of the album though. Human could have been on Hot Fuzz and I quite like Spaceman and Goodnight, Travel Well, but there's nothing else on there that does much for me.

I preffer Sawdust to Sam's Town, to be honest, although I don't think any of their albums since Hot Fuzz are in the same league.

I wish they'd go back to that kind of sound, not this Bruce Springsteen on hallucinogenics crap.

forevermusic

16-06-2011, 08:06 PM

Sam's Town is my favourite Killers record, followed by HF and D&A. Sawdust comes last because it has too many cover songs, although All The Pretty Faces, Sweet Talk and Under The Gun are some of my favourite TK songs.

They've started work on the 4th album :)
The Killers have begun work on their fourth studio album and have already written a series of new songs, according to singer Brandon Flowers.

Speaking to Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 last night (June 21), Flowers said that the band had reconvened and were now working in earnest on new material.

Asked if the band had written any songs for the follow-up to 2008's 'Day & Age', Flowers replied: "We have about four or five. We've put them up on the board and they're sounding good. We think they're strong."

Heading to Hyde Park tomorrow to see the Killers. I'd read somewhere a while back that each member was going to play something from their solo projects.

Here's the setlist for Scala night 1:
'For Reasons Unknown'
'This is Your Life'
'Somebody Told Me'
'Smile Like You Mean It'
'Bones'
'The World We Live In'
'Bling (Confession Of A King)'
'Shadowplay'
'Tranquilize'
'Human'
'Spaceman'
'Dustland Fairytale'
'Read My Mind'
'Mr Brightside'
'All These Things That I’ve Done'
'Change Your Mind'
'Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine'
'When You Were Young
Pretty much the same as the last tour. I wonder if they'll play any new songs at Hyde Park?

Burning_October

24-06-2011, 03:24 AM

Anyone know if they're still playing Smile Like You Mean it acoustically?

Also, For Reasons Unknown seems like an odd opener, though I suppose it could work given the right build up.

EDIT: New song played live!

Just back from London. Great gig Friday at Hyde Park...despite the weather. Don't think I've been so drenched at a gig before but it did actually add to the fun. Loved the setlist, a real mix...glad they didn't stick to the most recent work. The crowd were on top form and I'm sure it was down to the fact we were all drowned rats. Brandon looked great despite the fact he'd been to a bad hairdressers.

I went to the Hyde Park gig and it was possibly the best thing since Muse at Wembley Stadium! I am soooo happy they played Bling!!!! :D I really wanted to hear that! I'm a bit sad they didn't play Sam's Town and I think ending before half 10 is a bit of a let down but it was still amazing!!!

I know what you mean about the bad hairdresser, I much prefered his hair when it was a bit longer, but becuase of the rain and my glasses kept steaming up I couldn't see too well anyway!

I really like it, sounds a bit like ADF at times, or a Sam's Town era song. Nothing adventurous or drastically different though, and the live recording doesn't do the vocals justice either so maybe recorded it will sound a lot better.

So do you think they would pull out this new longer song live next tour? I am judging by the title it would be synth heavy.

And I think Goodnight, Travel Well will be pulled out on down the line much like Believe Me Natalie was.

Brandon said something about going in a more rocky direction for the new record - maybe like Sam's Town (which works for me as its my favourite TK record) but then the quote he said was 'real rock music'. Make of that what you will.

Next year we're gonna find out though.

As long as it's not another Day and Age. It's by no means a bad album, but it just didn't really work for me. It looked good live though! Especially Spaceman. I still love the other 3 though. Hot Fuss was the first album I ever bought :happy:

At Hyde Park the D&A numbers we got (Spaceman, Losing Touch, Human, A Dustland Fairytale and This Is Your Life) sounded a lot more beefed up then on record.

ADF in particular was amazing - very moving intro, huge rocking middle and a lovely performance of Moon River as an outro.

I think there needs to be less production - in a way it can be felt D&A had too much of a too electronic/pop production, whereas there's a better blend of rock and pop on Hot Fuss and on Sam's Town.

I missed them live as well, I really want to see Dustland live. It's probably my favourite studio song, at least from Day and Age and Sam's Town.

Hopefully they do go back to a more rock sound, but I'd preffer them to go back to the sort of sound they had on Hot Fuss, it was much more energetic and exciting. But I've also heard Brandon say the new record will have a sound half way between Sam's Town and D&A, which I really hope doesn't happen. It's not like their bad albums, but as D&A is essentially Sam's Town on acid, I can't see that working.

Album news.
The Killers' next album will have a more guitar-heavy sound, according to drummer Ronnie Vannucci.

Speaking to NME, Vannucci – who makes music as Big Talk – hinted that The Killers' new sound would differ from 2008's Stuart Price-helmed 'Day & Age' album.

He said: "The next album is going to have more guitars. It’s about fucking time!"

Vannucci also confirmed that the band were set to hit the studio. "In October we’re going to start recording in Nashville," he said. "It’s up in the air who's going to produce it, I can’t officially say." He continued:

We have some people in mind, but I don’t want to piss people off and say who it is. All last month we’ve been writing some great Killers songs, it’s really happening. I’m really looking forward to doing this next record, it’s going to sound fucking great.
