anyone else dissapointed by the killers?

[kibble]

They weren't as good as 2 years ago...

[Dannny]

they rocked my socks. Even though the guy behind me kept trying to steal my wallet..

No money in it though! haha.

Definitely not a disappointment to me - they were fantastic. I love the Killers and was sooo looking forward to seeing them, I was so happy when they done Jenny and Shadowplay, superb.

We had a really good crowd around us too, I had lost my hubby (who usually hoists me onto his shoulders!) so my friend asked some chap who was happy enough for me to go on his shoulders during Smile Like you Mean it - (thank you by the way!)

We were a little further back than I would have liked to have been, but never mind, the crowd was great, the atmosphere was great and the Killers were great! Definitely getting tickets for their next tour.

The Killers sounded spot on at Hylands, it's just the sound quality which was shit.

Was disappointed when i saw them earlier this year, so opted out, heard they weren't that great. Saw Fatboy instead - AMAZING!!

[trafford12]

brandon wouldnt even have to open his mouth id be happy the fact he did and sounded fooking amazing just made it 4 me its not his fult the speakers sounded shite they messed up when lilly allen was playing too thats money grabbing v for you all the money we pay and they cant even sort that out !!!!

Definately thought they turned the sound down at Chelmsford after the first song, all we could hear from 20m in front of the sound desks was the crowd singing.......we went off to see Pete Doherty and Amy W came running on stage, much better

[Harry MonkFish]

Saw them at chelmsford and wished I had gone to see someone else. the usual songs got everyone going as they would but even they should have been better. Sound wasnt impressive and neither was their performance.

Snow patrol the next night blew me away though.

I think The Killers are one of the best acts around but they never gonna sound that great playing outdoors compared to an arena gig. Same goes for any band really. However i still enjoyed their act especially after i missed them in greece when the whole day of the fest was cancelled due to weather.

[goanmad]

I've seen them a couple of times before and thought they were brilliant, Hot Fuss and Sam's Town are great albums however Brandon Flowers doesn't have a great rapport with the crowd, we couldn't make out what he was saying and to be honest we wandered off after 30 mins.

We saw PeteR Doherty, instead. He was amazing (and BF who's never rated him reckoned he was a highlight of the weekend). Great performance, lovely warm and friendly guy and the riot that broke out when his sound was pulled was a sight to behold.

[Richie7]

Just wasn't feeling an energetic vibe from the crowd not enough people where getting into it, i was getting dogy stares from people who didn't like our groups dancing/involment fun:). I guess this is due to most of the crowd being once a year music fans who don't know how to act at gigs/have fun, i mean fair play if it was at the back but we were 10 rows back and people where barely able to give a smile.

The set problay didn't help with it being too proffessional and commercially done instead of two years ago when the Killers where still finding themselves and enjoying experimenting, but now with the piss poor new album they have found themselevs as being Pet Shop Boys Wannabe's, they should have just stuck with carrying on the good work from Sam's Town .

[mcalli2008]

I'm not a fan of their music at all, but I've seen them twice in the last few years and they are good live.

[indie-rocknroll]

Killers are one of my fav bands I love them, in 2007 even I had to admit they were poor but bloody hell they pulled it off this year, fantastic

[sjc0102]

mixed reviews then! Looks like hylands really did get the raw end of the deal this year! I know the sound wasn't the killers fault but they also played a lot of my least fave songs. I guess thats just my taste though. I don't think Brandon has a very good raport with the crowd, no real charisma. I really noticed that when i saw snow patrol the next night, Gary Lightbody was amazing! Snow patrol saved the weekend for me! Before this weekend I would have easily picked killers over snow patrol but now i'm not so sure!

[tomdsjames]

Wasn't impressed at all after V07 but watched them this year and thought they had improved A LOT. One of the best bands of the weekend for me (at staffs)

[luckysalt]

I didn't watch them but caught some when I was walking from Fatboy Slim to 2Many DJs and what I caught I thought they sounded shite, this was at Staffs, I thought Oasis the night before were outstanding BTW, and Im not an Oasis fan either
