This song causes earthquakes at British Festivals.

[@Killeenster]

I was never a diehard fan of The Killers. Just liked their songs on the radio and used to sing along when I heard them. But when I saw them at a Festival I was blown away. One of my favourite festivals sets ever.

Miss Atomic Bomb

[@davidjames3080]

The live version of this, when they play in the UK, is a sight to behold. It's normally their encore song and is accompanied by the mother of all light shows.

[@Texy88]

Strangely enough, when I caught them on their Battleborn tour they actually *began* with _Mr Brightside._

[@davidjames3080]

@@Texy88 I think in the rest of the world they start with it or it's near the end, but not the final song. In the UK, as it's regarded as a second National Anthem, it's nearly always the final encore. The Wembley, London concert of the Battle Born tour definitely had Mr Brightside as the final encore song, and it would have been the same for most UK venues.

[@Texy88]

I’m from the UK and when I first caught them in London (which was in the O2) they opened with it. However, when I caught them a second time (which I recall was at Wembley) they did conclude with it.

255 weeks in the UK top 100 as of this week. Its actually moved up to number 68 this week! And yet it only peaked at number 10 in 2004. It's a crowd pleaser all right! Maybe we should also adopt it as our 'coming out of lockdown' song?

Eric Roberts was a hot commodity in music videos at that time. He also appeared in "It's Like That" and "We Belong Together" by Mariah Carey (he was the jilted groom) and "Smack That" by Akon featuring Eminem. The video won Best New Artist video at the MTV Video Music Awards (back when MTV still played videos). This was the first song that The Killers ever wrote and was based on a relationship that lead singer Brandon Flowers had in which his girlfriend cheated on him.

Killers guitarist Dave Keuning wrote this about lead singer Brandon Flowers' ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. Flowers recalled to magazine March 2009 how he discovered her with another man at the Crown and Anchor pub in his hometown of Las Vegas: "I was asleep and I knew something was wrong. I have these instincts. I went to the Crown and Anchor and my girlfriend was there with another guy." Flowers added that the song was "born" at the Crown and Anchor.

This is the British national anthem even though they're from Vegas. They love this song. The video styled after Moulin Rouge. The older guy is Eric Roberts. The name Killers was taken from a New Order video "Crystal" which was the fictional name of the band in the video. Crystal is good for you to react to. Everyone just does Blue Monday.
