[So it's not a stretch for Flowers and his band mates to wear makeup and pressed suits.] It's part of the show, ... Vegas is about the show. |
Arm wrestling with scorpions. |
For me it's more of a spiritual thing, but I don't want to give it away because it will change how people react to the song, |
I don't know. My mom would say it's because they are jealous, |
I grew up loving a lot of English bands, ... That has a huge effect on you. If I was listening to hip-hop as opposed to Morrissey when I was 13, I would probably be a very different musician. But that's what I was drawn to when I was growing up. |
I just think it's the whipped cream... on top. The Killers are the pie and I guess [my] looks are the cherry. |
I think rock music is getting better. The best (selling) music has been hip-hop for quite a while. So those guys are making the money and making the videos. |
I thought we were going to win best rock video, but you just can't beat those Green Day people. |
Music makes my blood flow. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a favorite song. I just want to be the messenger. |
People who were in their 20s back in the '80s have told us that we remind them of their favorite bands from when they were younger, ... I understand them. When I was a kid I loved those bands, too. We have that in common with the people who come out and see us. |
That's my instrument, ... It's been underutilized over recent years. |
This is the last time in America for 'Hot Fuss,' but we will be back. |
This song is the last song we're playing in America, but we'll be back. |
We can't wait to make the second album, ... We learned a lot on the road. When we made 'Hot Fuss' we recorded the songs just the way we played them when we were playing bars in Vegas. This time out we're going to take our time with the guitar and keyboard sounds. |
We're holding on to it. It's our ace in the hole. It's a pop song, but when you hear it, it makes you feel dirty. Everybody's going to love it. |
