Saw the music video, mind blown when I saw it was the same girl as in Mr. Brightside, then Eric Roberts. And it being a sequel.

Damn.

 

[Fry]

Omg Brandon... it was Ramirez!!

:lol

 

[Balphon]

That was quite the nostalgia bomb at the end. They even snuck a clip of the Mr. Brightside video in there.

 

[Fry]

:lol he's so funny.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

He looks so much older than the Mr. B vid, it almost kinda sorta ruins it. But not really.

I'm more disappointed with white girl's dancing, it's a clear step down in this. Just a lot sloppier, but maybe that's the point...?

But of course the entire thing is worth it.

 

[dave is ok]

Their concert tickets are kind of priced ridiculously on this tour btw. It's at least double what it was for Day and Age.

BB is twice as good as D&A so it works out.

I'm so addicted to Happy Birthday Guadalupe. I considered it my least favorite christmas song of them, which says a lot about how I like all of their songs.

I looove HBG. My second fave behind Cowboy's Christmas Ball.

I looove HBG. My second fave behind Cowboy's Christmas Ball.

It really grew on me.

She gave me coffee and tortillas to console my head
Prepared the slippers on my feet before she made our bed
And blew the candles from my favorite cake
And we kiss beneath the mistletoe
And I pulled her body close to mine
I had just one chance
I whispered "Baby will you marry me for just one dance!"
Infatuation
The things you say
I got scared and I left that night

This part is sooooooooooo good.

 

[Solo]

Man I love the MAB video. Nostalgia nuclear bomb. So good. I love that these guys not only did a song sequel 8 years later, but a video sequel too.

 

[Fry]

=(

 

[Balphon]

=(

It was all in his head.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Jealousy, turning a saint into the sea.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It was this moment. This brief, all too fleeting moment.

No music video I watch will ever reach this moment again.

 

[Fry]

What's the next single? Here With Me?

I remember reading the video clip would be directed by Burton.

 

[killertofu]

I can't believe you guys like this video.

It could have been so much better. It's so cheap looking, ughhh. The animation, the lighting, blargh.

I haven't felt this way since seeing the All The Things That I've Done video

 

[ThatObviousUser]

It does look cheaper than the Mr. B video for sure. But it's more that it has its heart in the right place than its budget.

 

[Fry]

Yep, google says Tim Burton directed 'Here With Me' video and it has Winona Ryder.

 

[killertofu]

It does look cheaper than the Mr. B video for sure. But it's more that it has its heart in the right place than its budget.

Same director who did Runaways.

Bleh.

When You Were Young is still the best lookin' one imo.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

WYWY is almost movie quality.

Anywayz:

Dave's is the only one that looks kinda off but it could just be the lighting.

 

[killertofu]

I don't understand why they had to make it some steampunk kind of thing...

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I don't understand why they had to make it some steampunk kind of thing...

It's a weird mishmash of the Brightside burlesque style, a steampunk city, and realism (for the "future Brandon" parts.) Kind of amateurish but I think it fits together OK enough. The bigger issue is the schism between the animated and real parts.

The future Brandon had some steampunk elements to it. The RV especially.

Either way, what the hell. I could have done a better job. Mark my words Killers-GAF, I will direct a Killers video in the future. BELIEVE.

 

[Fry]

my only grip is that they used the fucking radio edit version.

 

[Balphon]

I like the animation. Reminds me of Aeon Flux.

Though I can understand how that might not be a good thing for most people.

Hopefully the much better Flesh And Bone.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Hopefully the much better Flesh And Bone.

Indeed. And if the rumor of Burton doing the vid is true, I can see him going for Flesh and Bone too. Double nostalgia music video sequel explosion.

 

[Fry]

Please be advised that The Killers concert performance scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden on December 14, 2012 has been cancelled.

In addition to cancelling Thursday evening’s show at Camden, NJ's Susquehanna Bank Center, The Killers are forced to cancel their show at New York City's Madison Square Garden due to lead singer Brandon Flowers coming down with laryngitis. Organizers hope to have a new date for The Killers' return to NYC very soon. Ticket holders are encouraged to hold on to their tickets for this future date; refunds are also available at point of purchase.

Jesus christ, that's awful. I'm worried about him.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Laryngitis isn't that big a deal but that's gotta really suck for him. Get better Brandon.

Here With Me

Video

 

[Solo]

The fuck? Who releases two videos in the same week?!

 

[Fry]

The fucking Killers do!

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That was creepier than all of Lady Gaga's vids put together. Wow, wtf.

Fricking Tim Burton man. I just don't know.

Flesh and Bone BETTER be next.

 

[Fry]

Flesh and Bone BETTER be next.

Making of Here With Me

 

[ThatObviousUser]

What is he saying? All I see are "Suck that Brandon."

Which, uh, isn't any kind of Freudian slip btw.

:lol

'You're goddamn right'

 

[ErasureAcer]

Both new videos have their moments but aren't as good as some of their earlier efforts.

Cassadee and The Killers - Here with Me

 

[Medalion]

Damn, how I missed this thread

 

[Fry]

Damn, how I missed this thread

Where have you been? In the banned valley?!

 

[Medalion]

That Miss Atomic Bomb video hit me pretty hard with the nostalgia of Mr.Brightside.. pretty fitting cuz it has a similar riff in the song

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Miss Atomic Bomb named #1 song of 2012 in Rolling Stone reader poll.

Unrelated:

 

[Medalion]

I can only take so much Edward Scissorhands from Here With Me... great song... video was meh

 

[Fry]

Wow, that's surprising. Very nice, it's an awesome song indeed.

 

[Balphon]

Cassadee and The Killers - Here with Me

Why is the lead singer of Hey Monday a contestant on The Voice?

 

[killertofu]

That was a pretty good list.

Did that girl in the Voice video win?

 

[Fry]

think so.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

MAB video is awesome, not sure about Here with Me.

 

[Exterminieren]

Have we heard the Christmas single this year yet?

I Feel It In My Bones.
