So revving up the hype machine with Rolling Stone, Killers front man Brandon Flowers dished dirt on whether or not there was a political influence on the new record, crying at U2 shows, and the lasting impact of ‘Mr. Brightside’. The song was a massive smash off their breakthrough debut ‘Hot Fuss’ in 2004, and still retains emotional weight in the alternative music universe. Just pull the song up on Youtube, it’s video has been viewed over 237 million times. Yeah, that does’nt ‘open up your eagle eyes’ to it’s success, than what will?

When asked about the song’s long afterlife, he said the following: ” I hope it doesn’t eclipse anything else we’re doing. It just keeps snowballing and getting bigger. That said, anybody that’s ever started a band envisions something like that happening to them. It’s incredible. I can’t complain.”
