The Killers: "we will lower Led Zeppelin and Nirvana from their pedestals"

The Killers - Brandon Flowers

Brandon Flowers, singer and leader of the quartet of Las Vegas (which by the way is on tour in North America), declared for a well-known digital medium that they will take advantage of your presentations to obtain the success and popularity they have in the United Kingdom, although he knows that first they will have to deal with the prejudices of the press ...

"We have had a huge impact in England… it is something that I will never understand how it happened but it is excellent. But here in America people are so obsessed with Led Zeppelin or Nirvana ... with those kinds of bands ... that they don't give other groups a chance"He explained.

"And it's not just us. There are a great number of groups that have gone unnoticed or failed due to the influence of those we have put on a pedestal.
I'm tired of this ... I'd like to get you down from there ... and people don't like that attitude. It's like no one believes that it is possible to be at their level
”He continued.

"It doesn't matter how many good songs we write or how many performances are offered… we are slowly getting closer. With the Day And Age we have taken a step in that direction, but we are still a long way from achieving the recognition that we enjoy in Europe."He added.
