One of the GREATEST talents in the business today. Killer rock. He’s a Rock N Roll Hero.

Real and meaningful music provided by Brandon once again. He and The Killers are the most underrated musicians in the USA. More people should listen to stuff like this rather than the annoying Katy Perry, Kesha and yes…Justin Bieber! This is real music. That’s just my opinion. Long live Brandon and The Killers…I am a fan until the day I die!!!!!

Congrats Brandon on your solo career. Saw your gig at the Troubadour, it was truly an honor and your songwriting skills are beyond words. I truly enjoyed “Playing with Fire” and “On the Floor” and the rest are amazing as well.
Once again…congrats. your hardwork paid off and you are truly an inspiration.

Hasn´t that drive and Magic than Songs like ” Mr Brightside” f. e. – ” Human” sounded like some Stuff of the Petshop-boys and this is a Mix of Sting und other smootie Songer- Songwriters.
My Partens both dead. I am very hapy, that there is someone who cares , not only teake care of Buisines. Maybee Flowers is a gentle good man, good looking ,I dont´know him personally, but this Kind of Music is a self- therapie perhaps, not this, i will oder, sorry.
