The Killers - Mr Brightside (Glastonbury 2019) 

Jay Peripheral Vision though!!!! 🤙🏻

@@seriousxsinus what an album 😍

Jay have you heard cutting my fingers off by turnover?

@@alexsmith879 It's my favourite song hahah

@@raikoshumi take my head is mine

Especially if you're British

The song that will literally never die

Melissa yup because its an iconic part of british culture😂

@@GroinStrain_ Its not just Britain tbh, this song is huge in Asia as well lol

@@GroinStrain_ ONLY if you're British.

That’s insane the loudest !! I’ve been to a few festivals and I remember seeing RHCP live and that was out of this world 90,000 singing a song!!

That's probably like 100.000 singing your song, imagine a million people was there.

Thats funny u say that. U gotta see the Glastonbury 17' i think it was. I used to watch it on tv and would see the people going NUTS!!!!!! No exaggeration they ain't miss one word and they were on shoulders dancing etc. Crazy. Of course thats how it is there with all performances but it was just different with this song. I had never seen it like that before. Pure anthem way of getting down to it. And now i see what u say here and in some other comments here they're saying it IS an anthem for British kids so i guess i wasn't mistaken lol. By the way....why the hell are they not putting those festivals on tv no more?!?!?! I miss it so much. The channel Paladia helped me so much through a dark ass time in my life. Damnit.

Loudest in Glasto history, and the crowd STILL almost drowns them out in places. What a performance, and what an audience.

I was in Vegas in 2004. Waiting outside a shopping mall as they say! And a local guy heard my northern English accent asked which bands were big in the UK at that moment. I said 'The Killers are doing really well!'. 'Where are they from?' was the reply! True story! 😂

I snorted 😂

😂😂😂

😂😂😂

Excuse me, 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond. Both songs make the brits go mad.

@@emilyerickson3488 *wonderwall

Brandon looked older in Sam's Town era when he had that ridiculous mustache lol

@@gary9432 you must be very ugly and untalented

GaryBlue Fox One the most ridiculous posts/comments Ive ever seen on YT/social media.

This question is as old as the band itself :p

They just love british bands and got a lot of influence of them and more or less ignored US american bands.

Drummer fucking nailed it

Drummer was on another level. I play everything but the drums and a great drummer is fucking magical

i agree!

Love this comment ❤

Ronnie Vannucci Jr 😊 I love this comment as well, just wanted to add his name here for posterity!

dylan king that comment is so true it brought a tear to my eye

so true

It's crazy how true this is considering the band isn't even British

dylan king exactly

@@just-a-random-person-on-utube i know its mad

I mean, this song is their national anthem

British,British???I hope there is still some Britishness left in Britain...

@@skiniomira this Man is starting politics on a killers video

@@willieodea4941 So what???

@@skiniomira because it's about music you sad bastard

try double that. the pyramid stage field is estimated it can hold over 100k people for the closing sets

The glasgow gig is even better

Especially if your British

😂 me

Facts

I reckon Aussies as well

The sad part is that the band is American

The best thing about it is that he has the time of his life on every concert. ❤

Ronnie Vannnucci always has and always will be one of if not my favorite drummer!

I saw them twice and Ronnie has the time of his life in every gig. Blowmind

MMQ spanked it

Too right, imagine hitting things knowing that literally everyone within a 5 mile radius can hear it 😂

finally someone mentioned johnny marr

Glasgow version is even better

De acuerdo contigo

Johnie is the cherry on top

In an interview Johnnie just picked up and practiced the song in the dressing room, just before coming on

Pretty sure it’s been in the UK Top 50 or 100 since its release.

15 years. Jesus were getting old 😂

@@Jboy19881 your never to old for Mr brightside

It was also haven't left UK Top 100 charts since it entered

Yeah no... Hahahah overrated song IMO..

this had me absolutely cracked up criminally underrated comment.

@@jefffang5691 Glad you got a laugh out of it

Have a look at TRNSMT mr brightside 2018 thats a real crowd!

😂😂😂 so tru

The killer ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zh6cwyHBi0Q.html by

I think that's because the song was supposed to be wrapped up, but Ronnie was having too much fun and gave them another 2 minutes. Even Johnny Marr looks round like 'WTF' 😂

Ronnie is a fucking machine

Fucked up charming man tho x

I know, what a great time to be alive

So glad we crossed the multiverse together.

Having Johnny Marr playing on it makes it sound even more perfect than it already is

@Gabi Pina he must not have smiled making anything past the smiths then

Gabi Pina can you enlighten me to the hit records that you have written

And add legendary guitarist join you on the stage

Paddy Thomson and mostly in unison! It’s quite amazing to have such a trained audience who knows every syllable, tempo, and quirk

Well not quite the biggest crowd in the world. We all know that was at Trump’s inauguration.

rockzs74r to quote Brandon “Johnny fucking Marr” + he sang ‘this charming man’ much better than Morrissey

Paddy Thomson not even close to the biggest crowd. Metallica played in front of 500,000 people in Moscow. Rod Stewart played in front of 3 million people in Brazil...

I'd of paid a grand for a ticket just for these five minutes!

To be fair. If they play thing song first, most of the crowd will be gone afterward.

@@rockzs74r Yep! that's why this song is the last in the setlist.

@@jules3951 I highly doubt that Julie XD

@@ozo_man9508 I absolutely would. I don't know about you but I would 100%. Wouldn't say it otherwise :)

Love the way he hits cymbals! And he’s so dynamic and carefree.

The british national anthem is dont look back in anger

Matthew Everest nah it’s mr brightside

Get a grip

Its bittersweet symphony

Robbie's Angels is better known than the actual national anthem.

Like national anthem 😱

@@ivannieves320 not the ceremonial anthem it’s more like the 2000s favourite song

did they change the vocal? he's not the same person in mv

@@enochsuperstar572 it is the same person, he looks a bit different because it’s been a few years between the music video and this performance

@@balakalirajan1396 hahahaha it took me a while to realize

Love Brandon’s smile it’s just “wow” “listen they’re fab”

Percussionists in general are so underappreciated but yes, give this man a legend. He's a really good drummer.

He Is amazing

I see

Def agree, although as a drummer, best believe he’s not underrated in that realm!! A much appreciated musician

He Was Doing It Like He Was Fighting For His Life He Was Dying (Sweating)

Never left the charts? Sounds unlikely. Where is it now for example?

@@cozzie49 it's 93 now lmao

Hi!!! I am not british. Sorry for the bad English, but I need to ask why do british people say The Killers are from the U.K.? I know they are american. Thanks

92 now

@@patriciooneill6183 Because it's one of the most well known songs played up and down the country, from small pubs, large clubs, house parties or anything you can imagine. We've sort of adopted them in a strange way. Plus when they first came out we all thought they were Brits so that's just sort of stuck and we kinda pretend ha.

Matthew helders is pretty epic

completely surreal

I can't imagine the feeling of a crowd that BIG singing along to my song.

And to think this started with a cheating girlfriend and a broken heart, brandon has come a long way

the feeling from the crowd must have been electric. He looked full of joy :)

And he knows how to work the stage.

@@davidmeiklejohn9800Just a bit. He is one of the best front men in the business.

Or maybe he was just awestruck by Johnny Marr

I can't help but understand why they wouldn't be tired of playing the same song. But at the same time seeing The Killers play this Iconic song with so much energy is just amazing

Well those bands never wrote a song as great as Mr. Brightside

Dude, never mention Panic or Fall out boy on the internet. You're only going to get insane fans attacking you for "insulting" them or "real music fans" who go everywhere saying that they suck

you can hear mr brightside at least a thousand times so ya its not a song you get bored of

@@user-py3py5sx2f I feel that now, Thank you for the advice mate. God forbid someone express their opinion on the internet without the wrath. Kind Regards, Cheers!

Because it's mr brightside. You never get tired of it

He's absolutely gleaming in here. Well, Johnny Marr is playing his song.

CapitalCrow he’s one of the most positive artists about their own work I’ve seen, like you said after 15 years he still loves his hits. The only other big example of I have of this are the Gallagher’s in their solo careers still play their huge songs very often

Not being funny tho imagine comin to another country for them to absolutely fuckin love you😂its mental

Its because you can tell he lives off the crowd and when The Killers come to Britain, the crowd is fucking mental.

And i love that Brandon could still hardly believe it.

thats somewhat disrespectful smh dumb weeb

@@handslomeguiy7790 how is that disrespectful? It's acknowledgement of how big this song is

False Name ‘The singer’ has a name that’s partially why it’s disrespectful. Brandon Flowers.

@@Coolmethgamesfan I'll admit it was like 2AM when I wrote that, and it's not like it doesn't make sense without his name

@@Coolmethgamesfan And how is that disrespectful again? Not everybody knows his name and he is the singer of the band after all. I swear people are offended by everything these days.

Maria SAME

I can confirm I did 😢❤️

I was at their concert in cologne and I've cried when they played that song

neon nature they will never come to my country and I’ll never experience this :(

@@halaotb3192 really? :( Where do u live? Maybe there will be a concert in your neighbour-country, not too far away? :)

The glasgow crowd are even better

21th century maybe?

Nah, it should be knighthood at this point.

@@ZanraiKid nah, cant be knighted a british knight if your not british

Ian Hamilton that was the point

Ladies and gentlemen Sir Brandon Flowers :)

Damn this whole time I thought they were British lol

Such an underrated drummer!

I don't think it's possible to ignore. I'm not a massive live music fan (I'd rather watch live performances on youtube lol) but man it must have been an experience

Are we just gonna ignore the fact that no one is the comments is talking about Johnny Marr on Guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!

No sir we are not.... Epic... Just Epic

And the band isn't aven british too lol.

Think how much pride it wakes up for us Brits

누가 깃발에다 한글 박아뒀네ㅋㅋㄲㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㄱㄲ

JY_ J 엌ㅋㅋㅋ한국인ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

And the Band is American.

hahaha!

It's called holy water my friend😉

Maybe Mormon water

Just order both Holy and Mormon water from Amazon!

Cryostasis is cool.

Leon Rudkin not just drunk mate

Very true!

Chelsea Dagger mate.

Leon Rudkin 😂 fr

Comment Connoisseur another good choice!

claudio polanco Glastonbury is the best!

@@Ross-zg3mx woah that's not cool

Ya got to agree

Ross Glastonbury was like that this year too haha

AGREEEE

Ronnie Vanucci is the best!

Pure passion

real talk: Ronnie Vannucci Jr. is the single most underrated drummer in all of music.

Yep

Yes, he's amazing. And wouldn't you?

idk my name yes pls I’ll join!

idk my name saw them this past year in Boston around that time was a great show!!

This live at the end of a gig is insane. 40,000 people at Bolton last year were bouncing I've never experienced noise like it.

I did ✌️ it was very good

Just go to one of their concerts.

Yes

@@JostCrystalite fuck off

Big Daz easy man

@@JostCrystalite that belongs to Jerusalem, Abide with Me or Don't Look Back in Anger

liam cuthbert hell yeah

For what it’s worth - We Americans really appreciate The Stones over here. Beatles are still worshipped too

@@jamesdeininger3759 And the Who and Zeppelin and the Smiths and Black Sabbath and Bowie.......I think you forgot a few, jerky

@@chadwickwright2833 is jerky slang in Britain or are you just a dick

@@chadwickwright2833 calm down

Anthem for Canadian kids too, probably kids all around the world

Ronnie is awesome!

masetodabase he’s good but unprecedented? Lmfao

GOAT

Ronnie is so underrated

Wearing an old T shiet

oh god no not a referendum

Joe_H111 lmao

My vote is on don’t look back in anger.

Imagine if we could really have this as our nationa anthem, our country would be the most badass country

@@UpWithTheBirds23 Could be either. Both songs have a strange resonance with the British public - this one being slightly the stranger since it's American, but still...

Yes we are 👌

Psh! Over here in US we are obsessed. Especially here in LA where half the band is actually from!!!!

MAM the killers are from Vegas

@@Janthdanl Vegas is LA's backyard

@@TheForeverRanger Vegas is in nevada

No, mate

not the only one mate

It was literally only about 2 years ago I found out they were from Vegas. Always thought they were British 😂

Everyone thinks they're British because thats where they got famous. They tell the story about how America basically ignored them and then they got "discovered" by British fans. Hence why it seemed like they came out of Britain.

Brandon Flowers sounds like a British name to me

The song is just too awesome

If I wrote a fucking Banger like this I'd be playing it on repeat and never get tired of it

Very true. Fitting in with some of the previous comments about how The Killers are bigger in the UK than the US, Radiohead's Creep was a hit on US college radio before it was a hit in the UK. The band rarely play it live now. The song did a lot to establish the band, but they aren't too keen on it themselves.

Simon Gamble exactly why I consider The Killers to be a far better band than Radiohead. Wouldn’t be surprised if the former is selling out more shows than the latter.

@@nicholascauton9648 You consider The Killers to be better because Radiohead's most popular song (a grunge song that doesn't fit their current aesthetic, sound or fanbase in the slightest) is disliked by them...?

He completely stole the show, which is saying something since he’s up there with Brandon Flowers and Johnny Marr!

Did a shit job on this charming man though

Whiplash vibes

his wrists may be tired

Them fills are hard

Underrated

Baby not wrong tho

😂😂😂

Fuck yea mate

Underrated

zibari27 awh that was such a wholesome moment

Sophie Heritage I know, right? 😍

Yeah he's blown away!! Each year they perform live in UK, more and more people in the audience sing the words.

Well he’s headlining Glastonbury festival, playing a song that everybody’s singing word for word, with JOHNNY FUCKING MARR playing lead guitar. That’s the most badass party that’s every happened ever.

The brits gave us the Beatles and Queen and we give them just one song 😂

Muse the most american band

Indeed

@@kiidgeniius that song happens to pretty much be our national anthem though

the strokes

I saw them when this song came out and they were just as energetic then too. It was one of the most memorable concerts I've been to and was one of my first. They played a really small venue back then in the middle of nowhere in Utah.

I dont think you can be tired playing this song, not with these crowd

By an American band. Lol

Earths national anthem dog

no mate

@@GUITARTIME2024 killers 100 million times more popular over here than in the states , it's a UK record recorded in the UK so

National Anthem of the Universe*** you uncultured swine

It's the best festival in the world 😁

No Way... have you been to both by the Way?

Glasto seems to be about Music while Coachella just seems to be a fashion thing

Coachella is for people who like to brag about going to Coachella and put it on their gram just for the sake of it. People who actually go for a good time and for the music are the type of people who go to places like TRNSMT, Reading/Leeds and Glasto. Coach: For Influencers. Glasto: For Music Fans and Friends

Because it’s about music and not about fashion and “starts.”

I dont get it :(

Her mother named his sister rose because she loves roses while his dad named him the title cuz its his favorite i guess

Also sorry for any wrong grammer

Gotta be the unfunniest thing iv ever pissed myself laughing at

Should have been : "You're welcome Mr Brightside"

right? especially at 2:08 he says something like 'fuckin hell' or 'oh my god' to Johnny Marr haha love it

Amen

Our national anthem is wonderwall or don’t look back in anger but mr britside still a banger

Peanut Turner Arcade Fire are from Canada

richard brooks you get the idea tho, they’re not british

Thing with The Killers is that American record labels weren't interested in them, Lizard King Records / Marrakesh Records were interested in their Mr Brightside sample and took it back to the UK, then signed them.

US bands that became big in Britain before the US? A long list. To name a few off the top of my head; Strokes, White Stripes, Killers, Kings of Leon

Foo fighters don’t sound British you gobshite

im listening to it whilst being in corona quarantine as well

@@urdad5130 Hope you are ok!

Love and strength from Spain 😢 Let's hope we can still live this 🙏🤞

Same here! Can't wait to go back to (for example) Woodlands Campsite at the British F1 GP and shout this song with thousands of fans. Damn I miss this.

@Kate Crossley Thanks. I hope the UK is taking care too. It's where I'm from. I hope everyone everywhere takes care.

Must've been nice. I don't think I'm posh enough to be in the posh pit...

I was pretty much next to you then! Def one of my top glasto moments
