Jesus – U2, in their endless efforts to jump on any bandwagon going, get someone from one of the most musically desperate bands going, to get onstage with them.

If you’re in Vegas chaps, why not drag Britney Spears onstage. At least she’s funny…

And Bono, TAKE OFF THOSE RIDICULOUS SUN GLASSES

the reason there won’t be “the next u2″ is that u2 never came up in the ranks by trying to fill anyone’s shoes, or match what earlier bands had accomplished. no band that has made a meaningful impact has ever looked to be the next big thing, they simple became it.

ha ha, yeah he definitely says shatter of light. that HAS always bothered me about this version. but i think his voice actually really suits the song. i’m not some big killers fan, but i do think their first album was full of some really great pop songs. i enjoy them more when they are doing their cars/duran duran thing rather than their let’s be u2/springsteen thing. $.02

I think Brandon said _Shatter_O’Light, not Scatter. I would take offense if that meant something to me
How many really good bands have we seen come and go since U2 became popular? Good luck, Brandon, you’ll need it!

I like the Killers. I don’t think they’re the next U2 as big as U2 is now, but they could certainly be U2 as U2 was back before JT, if they stay consistent.

Caravox, thank you so much for posting this!

I was at that show on the Vertigo tour and it stands out as one of the best “U2 moments” I’ve ever experienced.

You brought back a great memory (and prevented me from being disappointed in Brandon Flowers, who I’ve always liked).

Thought there was a simple explanation like that … just got a little excited I guess.

Thanks!

The Killers album is due Nov. 24-25.

It might not be clear from that excerpt, Cameron, but the article does go on to say that “the U2 record later shifts to next year.”

So Paul McGuinness told Brandon on Aug. 20-21 that the U2 album was due out on Nov. 17-18, but then later Brandon found out that the U2 record got delayed until next year. (According to the Observer article).

So … if the new U2 album drops a week before The Killer does anyone know when the new Killers album is expected?
