I 90 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Flowers is right about Sam's Town representation of "an America"-- but it is only one of many. Those boys certainly know how to pick a fight. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Even if you hate The Killers music, what Flowers said does make sense. 816100[/snapback] Yeah I agree. It's one thing to excercise your right to free speech here to criticize your country. But in other countries they're being fed so much anti-American crap as it is that we need to put a good face on internationally. Kind of like "Don't argue in front of the neighbors" sort of thing.

apuszczalowski Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 So its OK to diss the US only in the US, go anywhere else and its no longer ok? Maybe the Killers should take a look at the world view on America and see its not because of what Green Day is singing to the crowd Who cares, the Killers suck and are probably only doing this to try to up their popularity and get in the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 waaaaahhhhhhhhh. Flowers needs to tell us all how he was "offended" by the location of the filiming of a DVD music video.

Arkady Renko Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I just thought it was funny that a band would make fun of the intelligence of Americans when its band members only have the ability to learn 3 chords for all their songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loadofmularkey Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 So Brandon Flowers had to wait until the Killers became a legitmate success/their 2nd album was released before he could attack Green Day? Note to Flowers: American Idiot was released almost two years ago and Bullet in a Bible was released one year ago. You've been holding this in for two years??

SilverNRed Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Green Day > The Killers. 816095[/snapback] The Killers are about 100x better than Green Day, and that's a conservative estimate. The lyrics to every Green Day song sound like they were written by a 14 year old ("here comes the rain again, falling from the stars"?? That's friggin embarassing.) Meanwhile, "Mr. Brightside" and "When You Were Young" are two of the best songs of the past few years. And he didn't wait until they'd "made it" to say this. They "made it" with their first album. He waited until their second album was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do they have, one album out? 816499[/snapback] Yes, God forbid we judge bands based on quality instead of popularity. By that standard, NSync may be the greatest musical act of all time. Green Day was a bunch of has-beens about 5 years ago before they decided crank up the anti-American crap (which is something a lot of desperate celebrities do). They even released a greatest hits CD, which is not something bands in their prime generally do. And I'll take both Killers albums over everything Green Day has ever done.

But (and this is another topic) I still don't think Jessica Simpson has ever had a hit song. I think her record company just annointed her "music star" one day without consulting the entire rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buffalomike Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I LOVE Green Day and I like the Killers. With that being said when the Killers have shown that they have anywhere near the staying power of Green Day, then they can talk. Green Day's American Idiot album is a masterpiece and I believe I am right in assuming that it was more popular sales wise than the Killers Hot Fuss album. But popularity doesnt mean sh-- in music so I really dont know what point I am trying to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me and I walk alone" 816809[/snapback] Im starting to get the feeling that the people on this board only listen to the top 40 and not underground or scene music. Greenday was an extremely popular underground/punk/scene band for years before they got popular and changed to pop/rock ... they still have legendary status for their early work even though people have said they "sold out." Their popular song "time of your life" is actually them saying a "goodbye" or more like a "f you" to the underground scene they are leaving behind. Its amazing what people dont know about punk emo and scene music on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
