"We’ve been embraced in Britain in a way that I’ll never understand, and it’s such a wonderful thing. But over here [in America], people are still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, those sorts of bands, that nobody else is allowed [to grow]. 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? I just want to knock them all off! And people don’t like that attitude. It’s almost like they don’t believe that it’s possible that anybody else can be the real deal." Wow,so inspirational

Oh No! The Killers At War....
The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers is feuding with his bandmate Ronnie Vannucci.
Tensions between the pair have become so strained 27-year-old frontman Brandon is considering attacking Ronnie midway through a concert.
Police singer Sting infamously had an explosive relationship between his drummer Stewart Copeland - which resulted in Sting being hospitalised for a broken rib after a fight during a 1983 US tour.
He said: "I felt our unit was strong. But every now and then I do have a Sting fantasy where I want to jump over the drums."
When asked why he has taken a dislike to his bandmate, Brandon said: "Why would I want to do that? It's something only I and our drummer can know."
BTW, A, does the band member on Brandon's right remind u of anyone!!!!

Brandon Flowers Hates Beards ?!?
Brandon Flowers has a phobia of bearded men.
The Killers frontman - who sported a moustache until recently - has always had a fear of being molested by people with facial hair.
The 'Human' singer also admits to having another unusual phobia - of the number 621
He said: "I have no idea where the fear came from. Maybe from thinking they were trying to hide themselves.
"When I was six or seven years old, if I saw a man with a beard I'd cling to my mother. I was just convinced they were going to take me away."
He added: "I don't think about it that much. I try to make sure I'm not flying on my birthday and I make sure every flight that I'm on doesn't have the number 621.
"I don't stay in that room number in hotels, that kind of thing."

Brandon Flowers Is Very Modest....
The Killers frontman - who recent ly defended the bizarre lyrics to the band's current single 'Human' - insists his dream is possible and something he will always strive to achieve.
He said: "My ultimate ambition is to write the best song of all time. It's exciting to me that's a possibility and I do believe it is possible. I'm a believer.
"I'd love to write a song like John Lennon's 'Imagine', to have something as cut and dried as that. You wouldn't want to change a word, but that's another gift - it is all to be celebrated."
We want to see where this will take us
Brandon, who admits to having "a drive bordering on obsession", also believes The Killers can overtake U2 as the biggest group in the world.
He added: "U2 are unbelievable but they're getting old. I think it's time.
"We want to see where this will take us. It doesn't make any sense to place restrictions."
