I think this is the first time I ever talked about the Killers on this blog. I've noticed a new phenomenon over the past month. Everytime I talk to someone new about my interest in music, I get the same response. "Do you like the Killers? I love the Killers. My 5 year old niece loves the Killers. I'm in love with the singer to the Killers, etc, etc, etc." The Killers are definitely a household name.

It's like when I go home for Thanksgiving and everyone asks if I've read "this book called The Da Vinci Code."

Oh lord. Don't tell me that now you're going to start covering The Bravery and The Kaiser Chiefs too now, and any other major-label-backed-trying-to-cash-in-on-a-trend bands.

I'm with solace.

the killers suck. if you like the killers you are either a hip-wanna-be piece of shit or a girl, or a homosexual with no taste in music.

I was friends with one band member of the killers, until they became famous. I guess I'm not cool enough to be in the presence of those who bask in reflected glory.

The inside side scene is as annoying as you'd imagine. Lots of ego, San Francisco politics, and inflated self importance.

And one other thing, I agree The Killers' music is gay.

The Killers suck, well...because they dissed Green Day for HAVING THE BALLS TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT OUR DICTATOR IN CHIEF!

fall out boy is just more emo cookie cutter shit, excreted from the placenta of bratty late 1990's california skater pop-punk and temper tantrum bullshit nu-metal.

the killers may not be the best, but they are one of the more unique and sincere rocks acts to grace empty-v and billbored and NOT whine about suicide or their parents/girlfriends not understanding and/or rejecting them. killers are pretty catchy and fun. fall out boy is lame and immature, nothing but a boy band with guitars. pete wentz is a fecking whore.

btw, how can music be "gay"? or are you just a closet homosexual?

Arguing about fall out boy and the killers?? heheheheh...Actually the killers music dont suck when u dont have to think about the type of people who listen to them. Decent song writing...80s vibe yeah I get it...big deal..
Okay Fall out Boy totally BLOWS in the same way that third eye blind sucked or sugar ray or whatever ghey crapola rock muzak the powers that be want to shove in your face over mainstream radio. Ughhh...Somethings will never change...like bands willing to spread'em wide and whore themselves to fill that slot to play crapola rock muzak for sheeple so desperate in finding their identity! Fall out boy? Ghad..Get over it tards, if your smart, a few years from now you will look back and say what the hell was I thinking of listening to that safe cliched emo crap? Its crap! Their music is like a steamy turd landing in your drink...PWLOOOOSHHHH!!! ;o)

look, you can slag off the killers all you like. you can say they sold out. you can say that "posers" listen to them. whatever. but, you see, the thing is, hot fuss sold five and a half million copies. and people who say that signed indie bands are rubbish are just stupid. theres a reason that these bands got signed. they're the best thats out there. and no, im not a fan of fall out boy, but if you're reading this and you have a band that you think are "like, the best" take into consideration that they too have sold millions of cds. and anyway, your band probably sucks. no offence.
