I do not know who that person might be, but I am enormously embarrassed for him and ashamed of his work. The Killers are a dreadful band that is part of this dreadful sub-genre of faux-new wave bands that currently pollutes our world.
When I first heard The Killers "hit" songs (i.e., "Smile Like You Mean It" and "Somebody Told Me"), I said to myself, "Fahgina Christo! Must Franz Ferdinand release a new single EVERY WEEK? I hate this rip-off Franz Ferdinand band, who rips off ideas that should not to have been ideas in first place!"
Then I find out is not Franz Ferdinand. Is The Killers!
But I "check out" this Killers record. For is maybe record of friend.
Is TERRIBLE record. Is called "Hot Fuss"! I cannot make up this joke. Is called "Hot Fuss"!
Why must I have to hate so many bands? I love to love bands, not to hate bands.
But hate I must!
Then I watch Saturday Night Live a few weeks ago -- and it's this band The Killers again in my life. They play this "Somebody Told Me" "hit" song. Was terrible enough in its recorded form, but seeing it performed live made me dislike the band intensely. The band seemed arrogant AND cowardly at the same time. And the song was bad bad bad. Just try to find something good in that chorus. UIghgHGghghgds.
Also, I am generally unconcerned about band fashion, but they looked stupid, too, in that stupid 1980's new wave throwback nonsense way. As obvious as a Von Dutch hat.
On another note, their bio contains the phrase "inspired by seeing Oasis play".
On a scale from 1 to 10, I gave them an honest 2. Who gets a 1? Hole? The Eagles? White Zombie? Sting?
So, yes, a 2 for you, The Killers. And Interpol. And Franz Ferdinand. Everyone of you bands.
I hate you all.

What you said there. The Killers are another soon-to-be-forgotten faux postpunk act, and they are loathsome. Plus, they did a horrible cover of a beautiful Morrissey song, as I mentioned before.

3The Killers are so bad, I feel like crying when they come on the TV. I'm not joking. Everything about them just makes my whole body slump. They make me want to give up. Their existence, and success (however short lived it may turn out to be), and sheer life-sapping shitness makes me feel so empty and sad that I can't even muster the energy to hate them.
When I hear their name, or see an advert for their shameless album on the television, or hear one of their insipid tunes, I hang my head.
There is nothing, nothing at all, of any human or artistic worth in this band. They aren't even a band. If someone would be kind enough to remind me, in a year or so, when - hopefully - this shameless, shameless band of tired fake young men have disappeared from public conciousness, that they once existed but are gone from the world, I will buy that person drinks all night. We'll drink to The Killers' demise.
This is a really horrible thing to say, but I don't think I'd care if every member of this band died. I'm sorry for saying this, but that's how I feel.
I feel the same way about Kasabian, as it happens.
I am not going to even dignify these people with a vote. The Killers make me depressed.

4A silly, silly band. Have you heard "Glamorous Indie Rock'n'Roll"? It is by far the most ridiculous song i've heard for many a moon. It's almost worth finding a copy of the album for. Again, ridiculous.
However, I also refuse to dignify them with a vote.

6I just heard them for the first time. I am giving them a hard-earned crap vote. They deserve it after all that hard work they put into being crap-py.

7CRAP in its purest form. I would almost have to say that this band is worse than Hitler. This whole new "genre" of Strokes, Hives, Vines, White Stripes, Killers, Franz Ferdinand needs to die NOW! I'm at this moment going to listen to Goat just to cleanse myself from typing all those names.

I don't remember any of these bands invading and/or bombing Europe not to mention killing millions of people. Therefore, they can't be worse than Hitler.
Better yet, eat the placenta!!!

A Killers thread just got Hitlered. I didn't think I'd be writing that when I woke up this morning.

That sums up how I feel rather nicely.
I have not heard this "Killers" band from the Los Veginas, but I believe you in that they are of the bad.
please stop "Hitlering" the discussion, folks. They're not that evil.
