brandon flowers is an egomanical man who thinks that brandon flowers is god. the only person i have ever heard be more arrogant than ted nugent, it flowers. the killers are simply attemting to appeal to the republicans and retards who support our s-called president.... i mean, really. grow up, killers.

his last name is flowers for christs sake, of course he's a fag

way to be a stereotypical homophobe.

and green day as a favourite band? I`d love to see them have the Queers be support with them again.

What annoyed me most about this article is not what he said about Green Day, after all everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but to assume the people, who were at those shows,myself included, are too stupid to understand what American Idiot means, just because we are *not* Ameircan. It is both insulting & patronising.

65 thounsand people went to those shows. Yes, lots of them were "kids" who don't know much, don't care to know much about politics. They go for the music and the fun. Good for them. Music is about enjoying yourself as much as "bringing a message". But there are others who went to that show, and other shows alike, who are old enough to understand what AI is all about and knows what it means to them.

I am a fan of The Killers, I normally respect Brandon Flowers even though he has has hissy fits about Billie Joe and his eyeliner (pot calling kettle black!!) but this just pissed me off. Like I say, he can have an opinion but should perhaps keep his uneducated, diva stropping, jealous mouth shut until he has something a little more worthwhile to say.

you know... I get frustrated enough myself when fans of the band totally miss what the songs are about... but I have to bite my tongue. well I do most times any way. :whistling: but thats down to todays image driven society.

like I said on the idiot club... the guys from green day would probably say "f*** him!" they wouldnt care about it. Brandon wont see all this, neither will the green day guys.

if the band arent interested in this kind of thing.. why are fans? and havent green day slagged off enough other artists?

its down to personal opinion. freedom of speech. and I really dont think its worth throwing your toys out of the pram over.

I`m a huge and long time green day fan. I couldnt give a flying fur ball what other people think! who the hell cares at the end of the day? its not your "honour" you are defending! and if the guys want to comment.. let them do it! quit wetting you knickers over it!

if he wanted to get attention for saying it... you might think all he will get is negative attention. but sorry, a hell of a lot of people cant stand green day and will totally agree with him. all you are doing is wasting your time and emotions over this. and adding to whatever "media attention" he is "supposedly" looking for.

That article just made me laugh realllllllllly fucking hard that they even took the time to write it! Thank you, Mr. Poser, for letting us know your opinion. Watch in amazement as we all completely disregard it!

I just laugh whenever I see these types of things. I'm sure Brandon is just jealous of the fact that his band will probably never be as big (or as talented) as Green Day. And I'm a Killers fan. Besides, why is he commenting on BIAB, now? That dvd came out almost a year ago.

hmm... are we supposed to be upset about something? Who cares what that egomaniac said?

Although it does seem that fandom in countries other than America will drop... I mean, what he said was basically insulting people who sing along to American Idiot and don't live in America. The Killers should really grow up.

WOW, when i first read this i laughed my head off then i thought how sad. brandon is such a desperate attempt at a musician that he knows his career is over, everyone forgot about mr. brightside,and he has nothing left but to critisize those who are better than him. :ermm:

---OR...HE'S A TOTAL IDIOT!!! thats like saying "hey! we shouldn't go on tour for american idiot! they don't know what its like to be in an age of war!"

--PS didn't the killers lose a grammy to green day or something?? :/

First of all, Brandon Flowers is a piece of shit! He's probably jealous because unlike his shitty ass band, Green Day have fucking talent and balls. At least they all have manly names, I mean come on Flowers what a sissy ass bitch! They can sing about what ever the fuck they want to, and to take the risk they took putting out American Idiot regardless of what others would say, that takes balls, which that dumb fuck wouldn't know shit about! So fuck that little bitch, Green Day should be congradulated not critisized for what they did!

wtf the fuck? "a bunch of kids", hell, they're older than you! and thats probably why Billie says before Holiday "this song is not anti- American, its anti waaarrrr!". and i agree with you Andres, he's just jealous cause he's a dipshit singer who has to wear a fale mustache when he plays because he doesn't have the bals to grow one.

i've always enjoyed how you try to be some sort of "voice of reason" and fail miserably.

It's funny, you know?

Brandon is obviously jealous that Green Day has had more success than his band. First it was the eyeliner thing, saying he started that trend. What a load of bullshit. Look back to the 70's and 80's. Alice Cooper, wore eyeliner. So thats just a big load of crap.

Then, he says it was cheap for Green Day to film B.I.A.B. in the U.K.? If he had watched the DVD all the way through, he would hear Billie Joe saying he didn't know he was going to be making a Live DVD at that particular concert. Brandon should get his fucking facts straight, before bad mouthing other bands. He did it purely for the attention. I'm going to have fun watching it back fire on him:)

Overall,

I think Flowers needs to realise that certain aspects of his country suck ass. Everybody knows this - American citizens or not.
