[@BenJohnston1993]

Best song ever

[@single8ell]

modern classic..keep it coming. I luv to see u live

[@dyr_glpsn4209]

I always thought this song relied heavily on edition and post production to sound good. It's my favourite song in the studio version but it never sounded convincing live, not in videos, and not when I could finally attend a concert live in 2017. THEN I FOUND THIS VIDEO. This is excellent, they can do it if they want to, they can nail it. Wonder why they changed it so much for they recent live performances.

[@NESherv]

Interesting. Can you elaborate on the differences you noticed?

[@dyr_glpsn4209]

@@NESherv most of it is down to whatever effect they used to add on top of Brandon's voice, that makes it sound as if he's inside an empty soda can. They seem to have ditched it for quite a while now. I liked it.

[@NESherv]

@@dyr_glpsn4209 So glad you brought that up-most people don't notice it. It's a vocal effect called Echo Farm that they used extensively throughout Hot Fuss. Mark Needham, who mixed it, talked about it in a 2014 interview: "There were three of us involved in the production company on that record: Braden Merrick, Jeff Saltzman and myself. Jeff and I had been partners for a few years. He was an entertainment attorney and was shopping stuff, but he actually really wanted to be a producer as well. We set Jeff up with a studio, got him started in recording and since he’s a smart guy, he picked it up really quick. "At that time, Echo Farm had just come out, and that was really the only vocal effect he had. If you open up Echo Farm, the first setting that comes up is the default setting, which overdrives the vocal a bit and sets an 84 ms delay. That was basically what he put on everything [laughs] and it sort of became the default vocal tone on the whole record, plus it worked really great, so we kept it. It changes a little bit on certain things, but it was a fairly consistent effect through the whole record." modernmixing.com/blog/2014/02/01/psychology-of-a-mix-engineer-mark-needham/ I'd be really curious to hear what modern Killers songs would sound like with that effect, because you're totally right: it's so much a part of the early Killers' signature sound.

[@AnnaKrnn]

@@NESherv thank you I really enjoyed this information !!

[@hallgen2013]

You're kidding right? I could pick a hundred examples of this sounding amazing live

[@roseyxp1]

[@ANeonTiger]

That's it. I'm seeing them at Wembley. Coming all the way from Arizona, USA.

[@Lizaschmidt15]

Can you read my mind! I love the killers

[@marwood03]

Every song should have a guitar solo in it - the best Killers guitar solo is in Daddy's Eyes btw

[@fabiolanuris817]

buena musica excelente escucharlo

[@momakesgoodmeatloaf]

they are awesome live wow

[@amaurys1000]

Amazing

[@muhasri1985]

Awesome 😘👏👍

[@KeronCK]

[@Paulandre_sz]

WOOO

[@TacoClips]

I've always thought that!!

[@weezalicious]

Earl is a killer drummer.

[@piccachiou5045]

2021 anyone??????good voice good looking

[@fabiolanuris817]

ti amo

[@khafirvigo4635]

El mejor tema

[@daxbalmeo9768]

Such a time where Brandon's voice was less pristine than it is now. The voice then felt hoarse and was yearning...Not that his voice is terrible now. It's just a nice throwback.

[@xxthegoldengamrrproxx1536]

That is nice song :)

[@MimosaH15]

one of the best vocally best performances of rmm ive heard :)

[@Lkarlos300]

put Chewbacca on me put Chewbacca on me

[@misszotee]

@obblan the drummer's name is ronnie vannuccie , and he looks like himself , he's awesome , the funniest and most out going of the killers and is 36 today.

[@misszotee]

@misszotee omg he does .... but u should use his name , because he's a person not just one of the most amazing drummers in the world

[@lazycrazybum]

I would encourage everybody to check out their more recent live acts. They've improved immeasurably. If you have the opportunity, you really should check out their "Live from the royal albert hall" set. Puts vids like this to shame.

[@grgsc-_-6543]

❤

[@SirLexingtin]

@hellbird999 Not to mention that he has a rocking 'stash.

[@tkmry158]

Why is there wind rustling Ronnie's hair? Is the air con on full or something??

[@LenteDPJ]

El teclado es llenador y satisfactorio, he tratado de buscar un cover del teclado que se apegue al original y no he encontrado

[@joelsotelo1516]

Wooooow Wooooow Woooooow Escucho esta rola y me cago.......¡

[@misszotee]

@miguellica1 the drummer is RONNIE VANNUCCIE and its his birthday today .

[@jerseyjohnnyful]

[@Ssssahhhhh]

[@marwood03]

Why did he change keyboard decor from the disco ball/bird claw, to the antlers half way through Sam's Town tour?

[@KeronCK]

love mylo xyloto

[@obblan]

The drummer looks like Earl in "My name is Earl"

[@Briiiightside]

@tkmry158 he usually has a fan (as in an air fan, not a fan of the band, haha) behind him to keep him cool when he's drummin'. :)

[@mariorocha9598]

😍😍

[@leonardo_pandaboff]

for harmony theory reasons some guitar lines of this song bring Prison Song from soad to my mind.

[@leonardo_pandaboff]

"Can you read my mind [they trying to build a prison 3x to you and me to live in]"

[@jellocase]

@hellbird999 he always is

[@thisguysayslol]

i like brandon's moustache lol

[@sexyshmexy]

Мечтаю иметь такие же усы

@fvkivn He's hitting the lower symbols

[@carlin5462]

B R A S I L

[@daxbalmeo9768]

Is that Teddy Sablay?

[@miguellica1]

the drummer looks like David Arquette the cop from the movie scream

[@tkmry158]

@Briiiightside Or it could be Handsome Rob...:O oh lol

[@djant555]

The guitarist looks like Marc Bolan, and the drummer looks like nirvana's bassist

[@guitarforlif]

@zeppelinpirates its dont shoot me santa claus

[@gamingflixx]

Brandon stuck somewhere between Hot Fuss and Sam’s Town.

[@miguellica1]

@misszotee i know but he looks the same like the cop from scream
