and so do you, you just called England a mini America, which is possibly the most ignorant shit i've ever read.

K, I'll admit back in 2004 I was all "Yay Green Day, American Idiot" but now i've thought back on all that, and I have realised what a twat I sounded. Right now i know where my head is at, and Brandon Flowers isn't exactly going about his statement the right way, the only possible thing he can be jealous of, is the fact they're working with U2, which i know is one of Brandon's favourite bands, silly really, but whether you like him or not, he has a point about Green Day's intent, I mean why film it in England? Seriously why not film it in America? Because the reaction wouldn't be as big, coz England is generally Anti-America for really, no reason, only the president apparently, to have Billie Joe parade in what looks to be Nazi get up, and bash America through the entire concert is really a fucked up thing to do, no wonder Brandon is a bit miffed.

I was talking about politicians and how ours follow americas lead in everything without questioning if it is the right thing to do...I'm notanti anyone just thought i'd clear that little matter up...

Have you gone up to a politician and questioned them?

Personally I think Mr. Flowers is a bit off-base but he certainly has a right to his opinion. No big deal.

Posted

haha, Flowers... He has facial hair now :lol:

Posted

Who gives a shit what he thinks? To be honest, I understand his view point, but it is a SONG. Not everybody will understand it, not even every American. (Sad as that is)

Posted

he is full of fucking shit- i've never heard of Sam's Town, or whatever the fuck the name of their cd is. its annoying that they bash a band that has fucking talent and knows what they are doing- just because the killers suck ass doesn't give brandon fucking flowers the right to bash a band that has talent coming out of their asses. he's pathetic.

Posted

So he can't diss a band, but you can diss his?

Posted

I care. Wait...No I don't!

Posted

*gasp* Someone has their own opinion! My life is over! I cannot go on.... Wait- oh yeah I don't care.

Posted

Who cares that Flowers doesn't like Green Day?? I don't care, i think he is just jealous :bored:

Posted

haha, Flowers... He has facial hair now :lol:

You mean he finally hit puberty?

Posted

Brandon Flowers thinks his band is superior to any other, he's an arrogant fuck.

Posted

He thinks it's cheap to let people in the U.K. sing "I don't wanna be an American Idiot", I think it's cheap offend another band so that your own band finally gets some publicity.

Posted

what me angry about what he say is that he even try to understand the all meaning of the song. many time Billie explained that the album or the song is not anti-ameica song/album and the part that they did the DVD in UK... so what!? they not the first American band that film a DVD not in america.

well I guess he just another one in the Green Day haters list.

Posted

You mean he finally hit puberty?

no... i think he just stopped shaving.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! IT'S CSPULL'S NEXT BIG HIT!!! "BRANDON FLOWERS LOST HIS RAZOR!!!" :woot:

Posted

He makes no sense.

I'm reading what he's saying but I'm not understanding where he's coming from.

Jerk.

Fuck Brandon Flowers (and his moustache)- he's just jealous that their last album was nothing compared to AI and that the Killers will never be as good as Green Day. (not that I'm bias towards GD or anything :whistling: )

But still... he makes no sense! And he says it's bad that BIAB was filmed in the UK - they only filmed it here cos it was one of their biggest shows. Besides, is he saying that us Brits can't be against the whole 'Idiot America' thing too?

Billie has said loads of times that he's not anti-American, he just telling the world how fucked up today's society is, and he's right.

I know everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but he should at least come up with some good reasons for hating Green Day before he starts moaning about it :dry:

Maybe they made BIAB in England because..

dun dun dun!!

That's where two of theier best performances were. Dik'edd. If the best performances were in in he USA or wherever then that's where they'd have filmed, it's just we had the better venue and the most prestigious concerts. If Poland was staging a massive GD-fest, then they'd have filmed it there.

I'm pretty sure he says that for Holiday, not American Idiot. I think he made a valid point, but then again I don't think it should be Billie Joe's job to have to explain the meaning of his music. People should be able to take what they want from it and he leaves a lot of his stuff up for interpretation on purpose.

As for the filming BIAB in England; it's not as if Green Day suddenly forgot about the US. They did 3 tours across the USA after American Idiot. Just because they didn't film BIAB here doesn't mean Green Day decided to disown the US or it's fans here.

The best we can hope for is a letter from Billie Joe telling him he's full of shit.

He says it before Holiday; know what? I'm hoping he has a lot better things to do than respond to this piece of maliciousness - shouldn't the Spirit of Liberty award send enough of a message in itself?

Brandon Flowers is a crap ass bum licker who is just jelous.

Hmm, eloquent and correctly spelt!

Brandon Flowers has a pop at anyone popular just to get a little more publicity. He's saying we don't understand American Idiot? Well, he wrote a song about that murdered Scottish schoolgirl. How can he understand that?

Hypocritical, disco loving twat.

Posted

Out of the limelight or not AI sold almost 13 million copies in 2 years - that´s enough to make some people jealouse - not to mention all those awards they won- and not the killers,who had "Hot Fuss"out at the same time.

come on guys. you're pissed at brandon flowers becuase he criticized green day, so you retaliate by criticizing him and his band? besides, if he cuold never know if you understand the song at all, how the hell are you going to know if he understands other things? it's the same thing...
