The greatest British band that isn't British
Jay Peripheral Vision though!!!! 🤙🏻
@@seriousxsinus what an album 😍
Jay have you heard cutting my fingers off by turnover?
@@alexsmith879 It's my favourite song hahah
@@raikoshumi take my head is mine
I don't remember learning the lyrics to this song. I swear it's just implanted into u at birth. What a tune!
Especially if you're British
The song that will literally never die
Melissa yup because its an iconic part of british culture😂
@@GroinStrain_ Its not just Britain tbh, this song is huge in Asia as well lol
@@GroinStrain_ ONLY if you're British.
This was the loudest performance in Glastonbury history, and you can really feel it even through the video.
That’s insane the loudest !! I’ve been to a few festivals and I remember seeing RHCP live and that was out of this world 90,000 singing a song!!
That's probably like 100.000 singing your song, imagine a million people was there.
Thats funny u say that. U gotta see the Glastonbury 17' i think it was. I used to watch it on tv and would see the people going NUTS!!!!!! No exaggeration they ain't miss one word and they were on shoulders dancing etc. Crazy. Of course thats how it is there with all performances but it was just different with this song. I had never seen it like that before. Pure anthem way of getting down to it. And now i see what u say here and in some other comments here they're saying it IS an anthem for British kids so i guess i wasn't mistaken lol. By the way....why the hell are they not putting those festivals on tv no more?!?!?! I miss it so much. The channel Paladia helped me so much through a dark ass time in my life. Damnit.
Loudest in Glasto history, and the crowd STILL almost drowns them out in places. What a performance, and what an audience.
I was in Vegas in 2004. Waiting outside a shopping mall as they say! And a local guy heard my northern English accent asked which bands were big in the UK at that moment. I said 'The Killers are doing really well!'. 'Where are they from?' was the reply! True story! 😂
An American song that makes me feel the most British feeling ever and I’m Asian
Good of The Killers to play the British national anthem.
I snorted 😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Excuse me, 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond. Both songs make the brits go mad.
@@emilyerickson3488 *wonderwall
Till this day, I can't understand how a band from Vegas sound so British. Also, does Brandon ever ages?
Brandon looked older in Sam's Town era when he had that ridiculous mustache lol
@@gary9432 you must be very ugly and untalented
GaryBlue Fox One the most ridiculous posts/comments Ive ever seen on YT/social media.
This question is as old as the band itself :p
They just love british bands and got a lot of influence of them and more or less ignored US american bands.
When the crowd sings louder than your amplifiers...It's a KILLER from THE KILLERS.
Came for the song, stayed for the drummer! What an absolutely brilliant and energetic performance!
Drummer fucking nailed it
Drummer was on another level. I play everything but the drums and a great drummer is fucking magical
i agree!
Love this comment ❤
Ronnie Vannucci Jr 😊 I love this comment as well, just wanted to add his name here for posterity!
every british house party prepared that crowd for that moment
dylan king that comment is so true it brought a tear to my eye
so true
It's crazy how true this is considering the band isn't even British
dylan king exactly
@@just-a-random-person-on-utube i know its mad
The best thing to see is how happy the killers were to be performing infront of such a mad British crowd
I mean, this song is their national anthem
British,British???I hope there is still some Britishness left in Britain...
@@skiniomira this Man is starting politics on a killers video
@@willieodea4941 So what???
@@skiniomira because it's about music you sad bastard
3:15-3:30 as an artist, hearing thousands sing along loudly to your song must be a dream come true. Especially almost 20 years later.
I don't know why, but just the sound of 50-something thousand people singing "I NEVER!" at 3:15 gives me absolute goosebumps.
try double that. the pyramid stage field is estimated it can hold over 100k people for the closing sets
The glasgow gig is even better
British people come out of the womb knowing the words to Mr Brightside....
Especially if your British
😂 me
Facts
I reckon Aussies as well
The sad part is that the band is American
That drummer looked like he was having the time of his life !!
The best thing about it is that he has the time of his life on every concert. ❤
Ronnie Vannnucci always has and always will be one of if not my favorite drummer!
I saw them twice and Ronnie has the time of his life in every gig. Blowmind
MMQ spanked it
Too right, imagine hitting things knowing that literally everyone within a 5 mile radius can hear it 😂
Man got the loudest crowd ever. Just imagine the feeling.
The energy in the The Killers' performance is absolutely incredible! Johnny Marr's presence made it even more electric! \m/
finally someone mentioned johnny marr
Glasgow version is even better
De acuerdo contigo
Johnie is the cherry on top
In an interview Johnnie just picked up and practiced the song in the dressing room, just before coming on
*The song of 21st century. After 15 years this song is still bad ass.*
Pretty sure it’s been in the UK Top 50 or 100 since its release.
15 years. Jesus were getting old 😂
@@Jboy19881 your never to old for Mr brightside
It was also haven't left UK Top 100 charts since it entered
Yeah no... Hahahah overrated song IMO..
Holy shit...that Drummer deserves more love. What a machine.
Ronnie is a fucking machine
Fucked up charming man tho x
The drummer is killing it. Love the occasionally confused look on the bassist.
I think that's because the song was supposed to be wrapped up, but Ronnie was having too much fun and gave them another 2 minutes. Even Johnny Marr looks round like 'WTF' 😂
I love the way Brandon looks at Johnny. Even your heroes have heroes.
The British Public - Mr Brightside ft The Killers
this had me absolutely cracked up criminally underrated comment.
@@jefffang5691 Glad you got a laugh out of it
Have a look at TRNSMT mr brightside 2018 thats a real crowd!
😂😂😂 so tru

Johnny Marr playing Mr Brightside My favourite timeline
I know, what a great time to be alive
So glad we crossed the multiverse together.
Having Johnny Marr playing on it makes it sound even more perfect than it already is
@Gabi Pina he must not have smiled making anything past the smiths then
Gabi Pina can you enlighten me to the hit records that you have written
Might be the best Glastonbury performance ever.
this is seriously one of the greatest songs ever written. unbelievable how good it is. NEARLY EVERYTHING about it is perfect.
These guys could honestly turn up to the venue, play this song, leave, and call that the entire festival. Would still be worth it
I'd of paid a grand for a ticket just for these five minutes!
To be fair. If they play thing song first, most of the crowd will be gone afterward.
@@rockzs74r Yep! that's why this song is the last in the setlist.
@@jules3951 I highly doubt that Julie XD
@@ozo_man9508 I absolutely would. I don't know about you but I would 100%. Wouldn't say it otherwise :)
Imagine the biggest crowd in the world singing your song - word for word. What a feeling.
And add legendary guitarist join you on the stage
Paddy Thomson and mostly in unison! It’s quite amazing to have such a trained audience who knows every syllable, tempo, and quirk
Well not quite the biggest crowd in the world. We all know that was at Trump’s inauguration.
rockzs74r to quote Brandon “Johnny fucking Marr” + he sang ‘this charming man’ much better than Morrissey
Paddy Thomson not even close to the biggest crowd. Metallica played in front of 500,000 people in Moscow. Rod Stewart played in front of 3 million people in Brazil...
Can we just take a second to appreciate the intensity of the drumming?! ❤
This is for everyone who is a Killers fan. I live here in Vegad, and waited on the Drummer. He is a nice guy, without an ego. He thanked me for being a fan. Legends in these parts.
Love the way he hits cymbals! And he’s so dynamic and carefree.
It's always a pleasure to listen to the british national anthem live on Glasto.
The british national anthem is dont look back in anger
Matthew Everest nah it’s mr brightside
Get a grip
Its bittersweet symphony
Robbie's Angels is better known than the actual national anthem.
The most British band that isn’t British that wrote the most British song that became a British anthem
Like national anthem 😱
@@ivannieves320 not the ceremonial anthem it’s more like the 2000s favourite song
did they change the vocal? he's not the same person in mv
@@enochsuperstar572 it is the same person, he looks a bit different because it’s been a few years between the music video and this performance
@@balakalirajan1396 hahahaha it took me a while to realize
0:14 amazing drum fills
The Smile from Brandon to Johnny Marr - he’s is in sheer awe, priceless One of The Best “Glasto” performances of all time Ronnie Vannucci Jr is crashing those hi hats like it’s his last chance to play - those skilful 16th’s woooohoooo! Brandon’s voice seems more powerful on this performance….(don’t challenge me, I’m a true fan) 😊 I just play repeat play repeat play and yep, you got it repeat 🔁 Thank you everyone xxxxx
Love Brandon’s smile it’s just “wow” “listen they’re fab”
The drummer is sooo underrated... he pushes it all and has a great sense of dynamics!
Percussionists in general are so underappreciated but yes, give this man a legend. He's a really good drummer.
He Is amazing
I see
Def agree, although as a drummer, best believe he’s not underrated in that realm!! A much appreciated musician
He Was Doing It Like He Was Fighting For His Life He Was Dying (Sweating)
Imagine getting to play your debut single, a song that was released 15 years ago, a song that has never left the UK charts since its release, to a crowd of adoring fans, with Johnny fucking Marr. Incredible
Never left the charts? Sounds unlikely. Where is it now for example?
@@cozzie49 it's 93 now lmao
Hi!!! I am not british. Sorry for the bad English, but I need to ask why do british people say The Killers are from the U.K.? I know they are american. Thanks
92 now
@@patriciooneill6183 Because it's one of the most well known songs played up and down the country, from small pubs, large clubs, house parties or anything you can imagine. We've sort of adopted them in a strange way. Plus when they first came out we all thought they were Brits so that's just sort of stuck and we kinda pretend ha.
today's teens arent the same now😢..... missing the old-school timessss❤❤❤
I grew up with the Killers so i know all of their songs off by heart. They are my favourite band. To see them get the longest top chart song in UK history is just amazing. Then watching this again. Oh its literally giving me goosebumps. Looking forward to watching them live at the new Co Op live in Manchester later next month. Oh i really can not wait!!!!
holy shit THE SMILE ON HIS FACE... the whole way through. imagine that god damn feeling. Amazing.
completely surreal
I can't imagine the feeling of a crowd that BIG singing along to my song.
And to think this started with a cheating girlfriend and a broken heart, brandon has come a long way
You could see it in Brandon’s expressions to the rest of the band how much he could not believe what was happening. Amazing
the feeling from the crowd must have been electric. He looked full of joy :)
And he knows how to work the stage.
@@davidmeiklejohn9800Just a bit. He is one of the best front men in the business.
Or maybe he was just awestruck by Johnny Marr
One of the most underrated drum players I’ve seen
Matthew helders is pretty epic
I don’t know who is enjoying it the most the band or the crowd . Incredible
I've seen Brendon Urie get tired of playing "I write sins", I've seen Fall Out Boy get tired of playing "Sugar, we're going down", and bands who shy away from playing their hit song. Yet The Killers and especially Brandon brings the same energy as I watch this performance online to when I first saw them live in Sydney. Amazingly enough, Mr. Brightside still remains on the 100 Singles List to this day since its release.
I can't help but understand why they wouldn't be tired of playing the same song. But at the same time seeing The Killers play this Iconic song with so much energy is just amazing
Well those bands never wrote a song as great as Mr. Brightside
Dude, never mention Panic or Fall out boy on the internet. You're only going to get insane fans attacking you for "insulting" them or "real music fans" who go everywhere saying that they suck
you can hear mr brightside at least a thousand times so ya its not a song you get bored of
@@user-py3py5sx2f I feel that now, Thank you for the advice mate. God forbid someone express their opinion on the internet without the wrath. Kind Regards, Cheers!
I love how he seems to genuinely enjoy playing the song, usually you hear about how most singers eventually hate playing their hit singles over and over again, but even after almost 15 years he still looks like he loves playing it
Because it's mr brightside. You never get tired of it
He's absolutely gleaming in here. Well, Johnny Marr is playing his song.
CapitalCrow he’s one of the most positive artists about their own work I’ve seen, like you said after 15 years he still loves his hits. The only other big example of I have of this are the Gallagher’s in their solo careers still play their huge songs very often
Not being funny tho imagine comin to another country for them to absolutely fuckin love you😂its mental
Its because you can tell he lives off the crowd and when The Killers come to Britain, the crowd is fucking mental.
when you're standing on stage like this and thousands and thousands of people are yelling song, which you have written...you know you won at life this performance is amazing
And i love that Brandon could still hardly believe it.
the energy from that drummer brings it to another level! The little extra details he plays... Wauw. Best live version.
I swear they don't even need the singer anymore. Just have someone say "I'm coming outta my cage" and the audience will do the rest themselves
thats somewhat disrespectful smh dumb weeb
@@handslomeguiy7790 how is that disrespectful? It's acknowledgement of how big this song is
False Name ‘The singer’ has a name that’s partially why it’s disrespectful. Brandon Flowers.
@@Coolmethgamesfan I'll admit it was like 2AM when I wrote that, and it's not like it doesn't make sense without his name
@@Coolmethgamesfan And how is that disrespectful again? Not everybody knows his name and he is the singer of the band after all. I swear people are offended by everything these days.
I would've cried of happiness if I were in that crowd, straight up
Maria SAME
I can confirm I did 😢❤️
I was at their concert in cologne and I've cried when they played that song
neon nature they will never come to my country and I’ll never experience this :(
@@halaotb3192 really? :( Where do u live? Maybe there will be a concert in your neighbour-country, not too far away? :)
I could watch this performance over and over again. The energy of that crowd was unreal. You don’t see many performances like this anymore
The glasgow crowd are even better
The best song to see out the old year and see in the new.
The killers should just be given British citizenship
Nah, it should be knighthood at this point.
@@ZanraiKid nah, cant be knighted a british knight if your not british
Ian Hamilton that was the point
Ladies and gentlemen Sir Brandon Flowers :)
Damn this whole time I thought they were British lol
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that my man Ronnie is playing his heart out on those drums?
Such an underrated drummer!
I don't think it's possible to ignore. I'm not a massive live music fan (I'd rather watch live performances on youtube lol) but man it must have been an experience
Are we just gonna ignore the fact that no one is the comments is talking about Johnny Marr on Guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!
No sir we are not.... Epic... Just Epic
This is one of the defining songs of the early 20th Century, but this performance is just incredible. Johnny Marr plays like he was part of the band. Such a brilliant guitarist.
21th century maybe?
Imagine Marr's playing your song with such a crowd. Must be a great feeling.
This song just wakes up the british pride in me and i ain’t even british.
And the band isn't aven british too lol.
Think how much pride it wakes up for us Brits
누가 깃발에다 한글 박아뒀네ㅋㅋㄲㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㄱㄲ
JY_ J 엌ㅋㅋㅋ한국인ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And the Band is American.
How is it possible that Brandon looks younger? He must be drinking whatever Keanu is drinking.
hahaha!
It's called holy water my friend😉
Maybe Mormon water
Just order both Holy and Mormon water from Amazon!
Cryostasis is cool.
This song never gets old
Absolutely every artist want a crowd like that
This song is like a drunk national anthem for us Brits at this point
Leon Rudkin not just drunk mate
Very true!
Chelsea Dagger mate.

Comment Connoisseur another good choice!
How is people who say that coachella is the best festival in the world, nahh, the best festival on the planet is Glastonbury
claudio polanco Glastonbury is the best!
@@Ross-zg3mx woah that's not cool
Ya got to agree
Ross Glastonbury was like that this year too haha
AGREEEE
nothing is better than thousands of crowd singing your song in tune.
The drummers skills are absolutely amazing
That drummer is having the time of his life.
Ronnie Vanucci is the best!
Pure passion
real talk: Ronnie Vannucci Jr. is the single most underrated drummer in all of music.
Yep
Yes, he's amazing. And wouldn't you?
Imagine listening to this outside at night wow that’s what I want to achieve in life
idk my name yes pls I’ll join!
idk my name saw them this past year in Boston around that time was a great show!!
This live at the end of a gig is insane. 40,000 people at Bolton last year were bouncing I've never experienced noise like it.
I did ✌️ it was very good
Just go to one of their concerts.
Dam wish I was there. This song is newly 20 years old. How time flies.
Imagine your hero playing your song, damn dude they must feel really special

Every day, every day this song saves my life. THANKS.
After a few this is an absolute corker of a song even in 2023, dunno why but us Brits love this song unconditionally.
The commitment and passion of the drummer is unprecedented, he gave his all and then passion in his playing, god damn he can bang the drums
Ronnie is awesome!
masetodabase he’s good but unprecedented? Lmfao
GOAT
Ronnie is so underrated
Wearing an old T shiet
Once the Queen has passed, we deserve a referendum on our national anthem, my vote would be on this!
oh god no not a referendum
Joe_H111 lmao
My vote is on don’t look back in anger.
Imagine if we could really have this as our nationa anthem, our country would be the most badass country
@@UpWithTheBirds23 Could be either. Both songs have a strange resonance with the British public - this one being slightly the stranger since it's American, but still...
Legendary, Johnny Marr with The killers.
One of the greatest things about The Killers is Brandon's clear delivery and professionalism. They deliver for their audience as opposed to getting lost in self indulgence. Love them. Saw them in Southampton at the Guildhall as part of the NME tour before they were big and loved them since.
There is genuine joy on this lead singer's face - Mr Brightside is THE Uk's song, even tho the artists may not be British we are the country that loves it most.
Yes we are 👌
Psh! Over here in US we are obsessed. Especially here in LA where half the band is actually from!!!!
MAM the killers are from Vegas
@@Janthdanl Vegas is LA's backyard
@@TheForeverRanger Vegas is in nevada
Considering how big this song is in the UK, I can't be the only one who initially thought The Killers were a British band, right?
No, mate
not the only one mate
It was literally only about 2 years ago I found out they were from Vegas. Always thought they were British 😂
Everyone thinks they're British because thats where they got famous. They tell the story about how America basically ignored them and then they got "discovered" by British fans. Hence why it seemed like they came out of Britain.
Brandon Flowers sounds like a British name to me
Johnny Marr's guitar play was absolutely excellent and intoxicating.
“Second verse same as the first.” Timeless tune that blows my mind every single time. “I never” grow tired of it because of its HUGE sound and universal message.
I just love how this song is adored by the band that created it. Many bands out there crank out a song, it becomes popular, and suddenly out of the blue, the song is hated by the very band that created it in the first place. Hats off to The Killers for giving the same love of their own song the same way their fans love it.
The song is just too awesome
If I wrote a fucking Banger like this I'd be playing it on repeat and never get tired of it
Very true. Fitting in with some of the previous comments about how The Killers are bigger in the UK than the US, Radiohead's Creep was a hit on US college radio before it was a hit in the UK. The band rarely play it live now. The song did a lot to establish the band, but they aren't too keen on it themselves.
Simon Gamble exactly why I consider The Killers to be a far better band than Radiohead. Wouldn’t be surprised if the former is selling out more shows than the latter.
@@nicholascauton9648 You consider The Killers to be better because Radiohead's most popular song (a grunge song that doesn't fit their current aesthetic, sound or fanbase in the slightest) is disliked by them...?
Yo the drummer's performance is outstanding damn
He completely stole the show, which is saying something since he’s up there with Brandon Flowers and Johnny Marr!
Did a shit job on this charming man though
Whiplash vibes
his wrists may be tired
Them fills are hard
One of the best truthful songs about a relationship.
Got goosebumps on the first few notes. Also, what a kick-ass drummer
Baby out of the Womb: Baby: c c... Mom: "omg his first words" Baby: *"Coming out of my Cage and I've been doing Just fine"*
Underrated
Baby not wrong tho
😂😂😂
Fuck yea mate
Underrated
2:08 Not even Brandon himself believes how badass party they’re giving. 😄
zibari27 awh that was such a wholesome moment
Sophie Heritage I know, right? 😍
Yeah he's blown away!! Each year they perform live in UK, more and more people in the audience sing the words.
Well he’s headlining Glastonbury festival, playing a song that everybody’s singing word for word, with JOHNNY FUCKING MARR playing lead guitar. That’s the most badass party that’s every happened ever.
1:44 the moment where he thinks “is the crowd gonna sing it?” Then realises…yes, yes they are……every single one of them is!
i will experience this at least once in my life.
The Killers: The most british band that is actually american that ever existed
The brits gave us the Beatles and Queen and we give them just one song 😂
Muse the most american band
Indeed
@@kiidgeniius that song happens to pretty much be our national anthem though
the strokes
it's fun to see how brandon is having an absolute blast. some bands are really tired of playing their greatest hit but they're having a great time
I saw them when this song came out and they were just as energetic then too. It was one of the most memorable concerts I've been to and was one of my first. They played a really small venue back then in the middle of nowhere in Utah.
I dont think you can be tired playing this song, not with these crowd
I’m so glad…..What happened in Vegas did not stay in Vegas - Thank you The Killers 🎤🥁🎸🥰😍🥰💖 xxxx
Ladies and gentlemen please stand up for the national anthem of united kingdom
By an American band. Lol
Earths national anthem dog

@@GUITARTIME2024 killers 100 million times more popular over here than in the states , it's a UK record recorded in the UK so
National Anthem of the Universe*** you uncultured swine
Coachella has nothing on Glastonbury. Glastonbury is a million times better.
It's the best festival in the world 😁
No Way... have you been to both by the Way?
Glasto seems to be about Music while Coachella just seems to be a fashion thing
Coachella is for people who like to brag about going to Coachella and put it on their gram just for the sake of it. People who actually go for a good time and for the music are the type of people who go to places like TRNSMT, Reading/Leeds and Glasto. Coach: For Influencers. Glasto: For Music Fans and Friends
Because it’s about music and not about fashion and “starts.”
I like when the singer and guitarist looked at each other and had a chuckle, and I would bet it was because they couldn't hear the vocals over the crowd singing lmao Every band dreams of that moment, when they play their biggest hit, in one of the biggest places, and people sing every vowel of every lyric perfectly in chorus. Best band ever? Maybe not Best moment ever? you bet your ass it is
Living in Scotland at the time I can say it’s true!, 😍🎉🏴
"Dad, how come my sister is named rose?" "Because your mother loves roses son." "Ok, thanks dad." "You're welcome The Killers - Mr Brightside (Glastonbury 2019)."
I dont get it :(
Her mother named his sister rose because she loves roses while his dad named him the title cuz its his favorite i guess
Also sorry for any wrong grammer
Gotta be the unfunniest thing iv ever pissed myself laughing at
Should have been : "You're welcome Mr Brightside"
Gotta love how stoked he was that the crowd was so into it, it's almost as if he didn't realise he wrote our national anthem
right? especially at 2:08 he says something like 'fuckin hell' or 'oh my god' to Johnny Marr haha love it
Amen
Our national anthem is wonderwall or don’t look back in anger but mr britside still a banger
It’s been on their official chart for 9 years straight now.
hope the coming generations sing this banger ever and ever !!!!!!
I love how we Brits have taken certain American bands under our wing like they're one of ours over the years, from Foo Fighters to Arcade Fire, so much so that they end up sounding more like a British band than an American band, maybe even gaining a bigger following than in their home country. The Killers are a prime example of this and it's not like we're trying to take credit for them or anything but it just makes me so proud when we show our brothers from across the pond the warmest welcome.
Peanut Turner Arcade Fire are from Canada
richard brooks you get the idea tho, they’re not british
Thing with The Killers is that American record labels weren't interested in them, Lizard King Records / Marrakesh Records were interested in their Mr Brightside sample and took it back to the UK, then signed them.
US bands that became big in Britain before the US? A long list. To name a few off the top of my head; Strokes, White Stripes, Killers, Kings of Leon
Foo fighters don’t sound British you gobshite
Listening to this during the Corona crisis. I hope we‘re gonna have moments like this again soon. :( Makes me also realize that we shouldn‘t take these for granted. Stay healthy everyone!
im listening to it whilst being in corona quarantine as well
@@urdad5130 Hope you are ok!
Love and strength from Spain 😢 Let's hope we can still live this 🙏🤞
Same here! Can't wait to go back to (for example) Woodlands Campsite at the British F1 GP and shout this song with thousands of fans. Damn I miss this.
@Kate Crossley Thanks. I hope the UK is taking care too. It's where I'm from. I hope everyone everywhere takes care.
One of the finest rock performances ever.
FOR F SAKE, I GOT GOOSEBUMPS! I came here after watching Glastonbury 2004 version and someone recommended I check this out. It's absolutely surreal!
I had the privilege of being smack in the middle of that mosh pit, about 20 feet out from centre stage. A life-affirming experience to say the least.
Must've been nice. I don't think I'm posh enough to be in the posh pit...
