This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I think he’s the greatest rock drummer ever. See the live videos of wonderful, wonderful, run for cover, runaways, even rut he has crazy good feel on. Then there’s the huge hits like brightside and wwwy where he’s just ripping. Obviously there’s a ton of great drummers but I just like what he chooses to do within the songs.
I wouldn't call it one of their best. I think a lot of the songs that the band performed its first Royal Albert Hall concert were the Killer's peak--songs with excellent depth and sophistication, well arranged. This song, while popular, is fairly gimmicky and thin, IMO.
@@richardernsberger5692don’t get me wrong, I can go on about songs about loving the high school jock and also killing your girlfriend are peak Killers…but they have always been a Vegas band and a big personality with a ton of glam has always been part of it. I remember falling off The Killers in my late 20’s feeling like I guess they’re just doing greatest hits arena tours and headlining festivals. Then The Man came out. The song has pure Killers running through is fucking veins. It was the right song that came out at the right time. Gimmicky? Absolutely fucking right it is as much as The Killers ever have been. That’s just my feeling, I think OP nailed it when they said it had the attitude.
One of the chillest, most private dudes (and kind of awkward outside the stage) goes out, doesn't need fancy clothes, coreography, lights, he just goes out there with confidence and his abundance of talent and will blow your fucking mind. I will never understand how he manages to be so captivating.
If you want an answer from someone with a social psychology degree, Flowers is an INFP and he's dissociating himself on stage. He's splitting part of himself off to deliver the song in egocentric confidence while the rest of his mind hides in autopilot.
I know this is completely unprovoked and, to the half-trained ear, there's absolutely nothing similar about their music and/or talent level but, as a frontman, Brandon Flowers makes Adam Levine look like something you stepped in on the subway. The fact that America would rather see some dude pop his shirt off and sing "Girls Like You" than experience a true performer playing music that doesn't make you want to jam an exhaust pipe into your head is a testament to everything wrong with this country. I weep for our youth.
This song is the Killers at their finest......just a fucking awesome, powerful track......Brandon sings that damn song perfect every time I hear it Live.....
The Killers are underrated. So is Brandon. I mean, look at artists wining Grammys... and not them. This performance is EPIC! And their music is beyond awesome.

Brandon explained this song . . . it is all about arrogance. In an interview he revealed that he ‘regrets’ the negativity and arrogance of his public persona when the band first started out. The Man’ is about looking back on his attitude when The Killers first rose to fame - which he previously described as ‘arrogant’. Full of himself . . . It is a story of how he really was was . . . He has grown as a person and is not "that man" now. But the song is still fantastic . . .
There's some musical ideas in this song I really love. I was expecting this performance to really kick, like, a lot more than it did. Perhaps that's the nature of arena size festival performances on tape though.
Oh those drums! And Brandon's voice is infinitely better life. Great song, I'll stick to this version. Did I say I love those drums! Damn he knows how to play them!

Brandon sounds fucking flawless live. He really is the man.
is playback bro
@@pastiy.1970 nah u can tell its not
The older I get the more I deeply appreciate good drumming
Interesting. I've noticed exactly the same thing.
Me too. Appreciate now that’s the dummer is the ‘spine’.
Ronnie Vannucci Jr. is definitely underrated as a drummer. Dude is just so solid its maddening.
💯💯💯....yes.

Brandon flowers is such a good front man and highly underrated
Dyl Ando 100 agree!
Yeah, couldn't agree more. The guy's got it all and then some.
"Bad song..." lol. Sure.
Don’t be silly, he’s beloved my people all around the world and fronts an amazing band. He’s not underrated at all.
He's not underrated he's The Man.
This song is not given it’s proper due. This is one of the best The Killers song. It’s perfect in its attitude.
I wouldn't call it one of their best. I think a lot of the songs that the band performed its first Royal Albert Hall concert were the Killer's peak--songs with excellent depth and sophistication, well arranged. This song, while popular, is fairly gimmicky and thin, IMO.
Yep my favorite

AGREEEEED
You could say this is a......Killer performance.
Well, half a killer performance
Cue David Caruso putting sun glasses and the CSI Miami theme.

Brandon Flowers: You're looking at the man.
Me: I can't stop looking at the man.

That suit is definitely fancy.

bro he's The Man

You know what, you are right.
Steady on lad,get ya point but easy man.
It's almost like people enjoy different things. Really weird right?
He's too busy being the man to give a damn about what the other boys are up to.
🙌 🙌
I am obsessed by this song, I can listen to it 10 times in a row. A true all time great worthy of the R&R hall of fame.
Lol i just did ...
It's catchy,creative.
I'd love to be one of those backing singers singing this over and over! LOVE IT!!
Dawn Dixon so true!!! Amazing!!! 😍🌟
Those background singers are pitch perfect. The whole stage is solid.
he exactly sounds like the actual recording. there are really few people like that. love it
That opening is THE MAN!!!
I think every single woman with a pulse knows that Brandon is "the man" 😍😍
Cheers for Krist Novoselic on drums!
I knew I wasnt the only one who think they look alike
The mark of a real singer - always nails it live.
I had to wait like 12 hours in the blazing sun in the pit line to get in front for this but MAN was it worth it!!!
Absolutely the best performance of The Man I've ever seen. I'd even say one of the best Killers performances of all time for me.
He is such a dad, this was such a good show
wow that energy they are sending to the crowd is amazing !!! now i need to see the killers live!
You should! They're amazing 💗
@@misswinter3361 I should too, but as a 16 year old german it's a bit difficult. 😂
Восторг, уважение. Поклон, достойное произведение современного искусства... (одним русским словом, - ахуительно)
63 and this is freakin great 👍
67….and it’s STILL great.
His voice is perfect live
Exactly I agree
A Killers song which doesn't sound like a Killers song but that is top 5 of the band easily. That's what Flowers does. The man is pure talent.
This song is the Killers at their finest......just a fucking awesome, powerful track......Brandon sings that damn song perfect every time I hear it Live.....
Been to concerts for these guys all over the us!! We follow them anywhere, best live band I have ever heard!!!
That intro is amazing!
WOW what a performance! I can't believe I missed this song until now!
They need to do the SUPER-BOWL halftime show like… ASAP!
Most underrated song of all time
Awesome performance! My favorite song, the best!
He is really enjoying this and that's amazing.
I tried this at karaoke. How the hell he hits those notes in full voice is crazy.
Perfect song for Mike Patton and the boys to play on their tongue and cheek style!! Great performance this!!
I was there, it was faaaaantatsic
Diana Mojanoff
I want to see them live! Where they on tour or just a show in your city?
I hear the Talking Heads in this.
Joe Mancusi oingo boingo too
Very much so.
I also hear some Queen and Elvis
Yes!
100%
No lip syncing here... This is a awesome live performance :P
That's what happens when you don't see a live pop performance
It was the most amazing performance ever
I can't really call myself a Killers fan, but this is a great #@$% song!
You're a fan. They got at least 20 songs that are this good or better.
3:44 Brandon Flowers, such a good rapper
Brandon Flowers is definitely my man xx
What a performance!!!
Love this love anything he sings his voice is golden
I wish i could hit those high notes as effortlessly as he does.
I love this song so much. Thanks Vice!
The Killers are underrated. So is Brandon. I mean, look at artists wining Grammys... and not them. This performance is EPIC! And their music is beyond awesome.
Brilliant. Pure Art.
Absolutely. Amazing.

I know the score like the back of my hand
Them other boys, I don't give a damn

I just want to see them in concert again. 💓
Damn is no one gonna say anything about that ABSOLUTE BANGIN power chord entry by the backup?? Ladies - nailed that.
One of my great lifetime regrets--------not being 4th row back from the stage at this concert.
What a performance 🔥🔥🔥
The lyrics strike me as something Neil Fallon from Clutch would say. That fun, tongue in cheek kind of attitude.
I wish the Killers released more stuff like this. Brandon Flowers can totally pull off rock star.
“The vice-presidency is a mostly symbolic job.”
Great artist! real singing no lyp sync. Flowers and the band are flawless.
Who's still watching this in 2022!
August 2024
I love this man❤
2:05. When I'm on the beach and no-one's around, I sing this song and walk just like this.
😂🤘
Genuinely believe that the Killers sound so much better live than in the studio
Love This Song...!!!!
Cool performance 👌😍
I love the killers!!
I love the woman and man stage set!
Very energetic track.... nicely done guys....
*USDA CERTIFIED LEAN!!!*
"USDA certified, lean" Love that line 😂😂 Shiiiettt it doesn't get better than that does it, Mr. Man?
The buildup is so awesome

He's the MAN 😍
Imagine this performance at Wrestlemania for Becky Lynch
Lmfao brooo
100% perform it live!
She doesn't deserve it, she's woman, not a man. Can't be the man without a dick
This would be the SHOWSTOPPER!!!
@@allknowing145 that's an embarrassingly deliberate way to flex your transphobia but ok
Loving this Killers inspired Bowie era I gotta say!
I wanna see Brandon Flowers and his outfits on Victoria's Secret runway not those dumb models 😂 he is such a fashionista
Cv killed good days of good music
I love this opening, I'd love to be there😍❤️
Finally Ric Flair has a theme song.
Who wouldn't want Brandon in their Flower?
This is so badass!
There's some musical ideas in this song I really love. I was expecting this performance to really kick, like, a lot more than it did. Perhaps that's the nature of arena size festival performances on tape though.
My fav 💖
He's having a lot of fun with this song
One of the sexiest songs. Love it . Makes me happy and dancey. 💖💖💖💖💖😱🤪👍🏼
Yes yes yes
Smashed it! 😍
So true!!🥰
Great guitar part from Dave.
Pretty amazing!!
Porrada ! 🇧🇷
Temazo ⭐
Here to see the face of the bass guitar
Oh those drums! And Brandon's voice is infinitely better life. Great song, I'll stick to this version. Did I say I love those drums! Damn he knows how to play them!
