The killers are overated

[deeman12]

I like The Killers, i reckon they are a good band, however they are incredibly overated. Firstly Sams Town was trying to be something it wasnt, Brandon Flowers is a 25 year old kid full of jealousy, his lyrics dont compare to top songwriters like Noel gallagher. Hot Fuss was a great album because that was a natural album, unlike the forced Sams town. The Killers are also with a major label, which makes me question there motives.

Yeah i have to agree with you there. All bands that are on major label are there to produce money and support the devil. How dare bands want to be popular and sell records!

The Killers > My Emo Romance .
And Brandon is a gun. I loved what he said about Fall Out Boy, Emo! at the disco and Green Day.

 

[Arcadion]

Oh and who the hell rates them anyway? They are underrated more like it.

 

[deeman12]

Not all bands on a major label worship the devil. Secondly Greenday have been around for 17 years, i doubt that killers can even get close to that.They arent underated, they are overated. The Killers arent greater then MCR, thats bull man. MCR have so many better songs then them. Finally The Killers didnt have to go on a major label, they just did for money. Ohh and you dont have to be on a major label to sell records.

Did anyone with any musical credibility ever rate them?

And if they weren't American, you'd love them.

Deeman, can you please not create threads in the music forum from now on? You know nothing.

 

[Shmoses]

this coming from someone that started a thread about kisschasy? please.

Hardly, it's just that America are the best at churning out generic pap rock.

A band like Weezer has more to offer than something like the Killers.

 

[Arcadion]

Perhaps if the Killers were emo they'd be rated higher.

Who rates Emo music?

It's not even a genre it's just punk for sad sacks.

 

[deeman12]

Brandon Flowers is no Noel Gallagher, he makes attacks as if he is, come on attacking bands like Panic and FOB. I like Hot Fuss because it is what The Killers are. Sams Town is pathetic, they are trying to be men with that album, the only reason that Brandon has that Pathetic moustache is to look more mature, and the only reason that Ronnie has that terrible hair style is so that he looks older then he really is. I rate The bravery much much more then The Killers. Kisschasey are much more credible then the marketing geniuses in the killers, notice how the killers always had those Billboards with their name on it in all their film clips. The Killers didnt have to sign with a major label, they had a few hits, and made a larg fanbase yet they still signed, so that they could make money.

Such as what bands?

Not me, and thankfully not Bigfooty. But you can't deny its popularity.

 

[deeman12]

I rate Emo music, dashboard confessional are cool, and so are the all american rejects and so on. But lets make this clear MCR are not EMO they are alternative.

"When I was, an Emo!"
Maybe if Brandon wore a cool emo fringe instead of a "pathetic mustache" you'd find him more mature?

 

[deeman12]

Him having a fringe doesnt give him a good voice. Or make his song writing ablities any better.

Greenday have been around for 17 years

Their was one band that has been around just as long as Greenday, had more success and are infinte times better, but they were past it
Can't say one band is great because of it and one is past it, even though they are still selling records and selling out concerts.

And secondly so what if they signed to a major label and want to do as best they can

 

[deeman12]

Coughlan, i dont think that you have been taught the differences between Their, There and They're. Anyway i doubt that The Killers will ever be able to achieve what Greenday have.

Green Day haven't really achieved much. Dookie and American Idiot are two successful albums, sales wise. The other albums didn't do that good.

The Killers have already had two successful albums, sales wise.

Nimrod wasn't a massive hit, but i think we can all name the single from it! - That was a good song that was overplayed, but still was arguably the song of a generation!

Hate knobheads like you who have a go at peoples grammar on a web forum when your own is not up to scratch. You will find that you should have used a capital 'I'... twice. Didn't even spell overrated right you twat.

By the way, You ****ed up when you said you liked them and that they were a good band, but overrated. Who really rates them that high first of all, particularly after two albums? Comparing them with Green Day who have churned out, what, 7 now?
Kisschassy is calling little buddy.

Thanks for dodging the issue dumbarse.

I could pick apart you're grammar but I would be here all day
