Brandon Flowers, frontman of The Killers, recently talked to nme.com about his theories as to why his band enjoys greater success in
He continued: "It’s not just us; there are a lot of great bands that have been held down or confined by the influence of these people that we’ve put up on pedestals. I’m tired of it, you know?

Bitter much? Flowers rants on, “It doesn’t matter how many great songs we write or how many great shows we play. But we’re slowly chipping away at it. With this last album (Day and Age), there’s been a noticeable shift but we’re still nowhere near where we are in

I don't know.. on one hand I'm also tired of hearing shit like Nirvana and Led Zeppelin recycled on the radio for decades, but on the other hand, this guy doesn't realize that his shit is also plastered all over the radio.

But I just can't buy this "well we're just not Gods in fucking America and that really bums me" crap.
Poop.
