The Killers - The Man (Live)

RandallFlagg

Been hearing this a lot on Radio X, took me a while to get into it but now watching this I don't mind admitting that have a bit of a man crush on Brandon Flowers. My missus called me a Gaylord!

Song was crap at first, but has really grown on me.

Despite his lack of being in tune, he is an awesome front man.  One of the best gigs I have ever been to

Also, i've never understood who owns The Killers name.

Current only him and the drummer touring under their name.  I'm sure his first solo album had all members on some of the tracks.  Also toured without the bassist a few times.

Great live band. I'm not a fan of the new record though. 

As far as the band is concerned, I don't think anyone knows what's going on. The official line is that they're still together but Mark (bass) is going to get a degree and Dave (guitar) wants more family time, so they're not going on tour but intend to keep recording. 

I saw the last show of their last tour (in Dubai) just after Mark quit touring and while most of the crowd didn't notice it wasn't as good as previous gigs (5 I think, all in the UK).

This song has a kind of poppy 80s INXS, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel feel to it.

That fella on bass looks like Jerry Garcia!

I was going to say, close your eyes and imagine Stop Making Sense-era David Byrne bopping along to this.

A little bit of Bowie in there too. Or maybe Belew?

I haven't got the new album yet, but this song has not grown on me so far.

I dig this song. Nice mix on the studio version too.
In that vid the vocals have definitely had some help BTW, he's doesn't sound that good live

You might like this BTW, rest of the album is even better.
