The Killers covering 'Forgotten Years' by Midnight Oil - AFL Grand Final pre-game show

[@theflint7692]

"don't forget to thank God for Midnight Oil" ...Amen, brother

[@rosachavez5808]

From your lips to God's ear, friend.

[@brudzool]

wrong country for the god nonsense

[@jamiefoyers2800]

They were brave to cover this track. Garrett has a powerful and unique vocal but this is a worthy cover. Love the lyrics to this track...especially in these times.

[@fransbuijs808]

You only realize how powerful Garrett is when you hear this. But, they do their best.

[@LJY08]

These guys were one of the best opening acts we've EVER had for the AFL grand final. They really tapped into the energy and just had a good 'ol time! They were wonderful!!

A lot of great original songs by The Killers, but are they also the world's best cover band? So many great ones, including this one.

[@gmc4108]

Yes sir

[@brianhale8537]

Brandon Flowers and Eddie Vedder,the worlds best cover singers

[@thedcmac]

The greatest AFL grand final performance in history. Perfection.

[@milo99]

The Killers were good too

[@garryablett100]

[@garryablett100]

Agreed .

The Tigers weren't to bad either.

This could’ve easily gone wrong, but dear god this was amazing!

My wife is a Killers fan, I am a Midnight Oil fan. She told me about this and I came running to find it

Took your time seeing this 👌👌

You both seem to be a good match then.

One of my Favourite Midnight Oil tracks and they do a FKN EPIC cover ❤

[@h.stuckycatherine7469]

This band did Midnight Oil proud. The greatest AFL grand final performance in history. Perfection. How apt... 1981-2016...the forgotten years...

[@milo99]

You better believe it !

[@kateemma22]

These guys have done covers of a few of my favourites songs and not got one wrong yet. What talent.

[@alexv1211]

Not bad… this is a truly “killer” jam - no pun intended. The boys from Las Vegas can hold up their heads for this tight rendition. Much appreciated

[@aitanademichelli9068]

Brandons voice is just amazing. They do the greatest covers i've ever heard.

[@fransbuijs808]

But not as great as Peter Garrett's. They do a good job, but nothing beats the Oils.

[@Alan-mj5ms]

They did kill it. I was there. Great game, Killers pre and post game. Will never forget. Best act

[@stingaaa1251]

Took the biggest risk by playing an Aussie classic on the biggest day on the calander but it was unbelievable.

[@davelaye7003]

Great band, covering another great band. Amazing song

[@RafaelOliveira-vd2mz]

Can they play the Grand Final every year please??? Sensational!!

[@milo99]

Yeah and lets get the Killers to do the entertainment too!

[@SlowGraffitiVideo]

These guys are the cover kings. They know thee best music.

[@aaroncanniford9237]

Great cover tribute to the mighty Midnight Oil

[@discodean123]

Wow, just wow!!! Brandan Flowers is the best in the business today.

When covid is finally over, the AFL should sell the farm to get these guys back on Grand Final day.

[@EASTEASTEASTLONDON]

Absolutely nailed it 👌

[@livianegidius9772]

for me all Midnight Oil covers are bad covers. This band`s song could never be made covers= there`s simply not enough passion and magic in it. MO is unique,
