jyoung Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Just woke up and tried to convince myself that a Killers headline set makes sense because not everybody got to see them last year and a lot of people missed out... But surely that's part of the charm of a 'big band' doing a secret set. Isn't that kind of what makes it special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckles07 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I saw the killers at Latitude last year. As someone says earlier it was pretty underwhelming, Very much Brandon Flowers doing his Las Vegas show act with a session band. Liam joined them on stage and he did his best but it was pretty cringeworthy. I am not looking forward to this at all......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 No one actually thinks The Killers are a one-hit wonder, do they? Just checking before I make use of this Home Exorcism Kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug85 Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Far from a one hit wonder, just because "that" song was played to death doesn't mean it was their only hit. Their "secret" set last time around was fantastic as they played all of the fav's. I don't need to see them again though. I have come to terms with the fact that my week will be full of people singing about coming out of cages and doing just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s also got that one about being a human or a dancer and that one about somebody telling him something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 They're not a one hit wonder but they do have one song that dominates their entire career and it's fair to say that they wouldn't be headlining G19 15 odd years later without it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyPorter Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) It’s not their fault that that song gets hammered at every wedding, Christmas party and indie club. When it comes to indie pop they’ve got some fine songs and never got too formulaic. Edited March 6, 2019 by HeyPorter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscore Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 The "One Hit Wonder" label is less effective when some people here can't seem to decide whether that hit is Mr Brightside or Somebody Told Me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure its one of the longest charting songs in British history. 'With a total of 206 weeks, the song with the most weeks in the top 100 is "Mr Brightside" by the Killers.'

That is fair, but there's plenty of past headliners you can say similar about that didn't get the same level of abuse for it. Hell, you could say it about Radiohead. Albeit they didn't actually play the song in question.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
