Collect Call From: The Killers
These Flashy Las Vegas showmen called into Blender for a week straight letting us know what they were up to.
Collect Call From: The Killers
On our final day together, Flowers gives us a ring from his hotel room in London.
“Yesterday’s gig was really fantastic. The French didn’t dig our last album, Sam’s Town—almost every other country loved it, but in France we saw a massive decline. They’re back on board with this one. I was confident about Sam’s Town, even though it didn’t get the greatest reviews. That’s my biggest problem with America—I have a big chip on my shoulder. When I do an interview in Europe I get treated with respect, like I’m David Byrne. They love our ambition, they want us to do well. But not in America. I take it personally. We’re still learning, you know?
“But it’s not like the Killers are some tragedy. We’re a platinum band, after all. And so far, the reviews are light-years better. It already feels like things are turning around.”
