i've never seen such an uninspired band of fucking pussies. i went to their gig last night expecting some kind of rock act, but what i got was a bunch of little girls PMSing.

they came on stage and already looked like they couldnt wait to leave. i think it was the second song when the singer had a hissy-fit and threw his microphone stand on the floor - someone had to come on stage and pick it up for him.

4 or 5 songs into the gig the singer tells us his throat is sore and he cant sing anymore. the band wanders off stage. some guy comes onstage and says theyre having a band meeting about what they should do, and we should just be patient.

10 mins later the same guy gets on stage again to let us know that brandon has been 'drinking some tea' and that they're going to come back and play 3 more songs. he says they REALLY REALLY want to finish the concert for us. yeah right. more like their management is worried about having to give people refunds if they stop now. we're told to be supportive and understanding (ROCK N ROLL!!).

so the killers grudgingly play 3 more uninspired numbers and then they fuck off. no one cheers. no one yells for an encore.

funny thing about this is: the whole time the singer was complaining about how shit his voice was, he sounded FINE. just like he does on the album, in fact.

just emailed my friend about what happened and she had this to say:

"I'm having a dejá vu right now. Exactly the same happened last time in Hamburg! The only difference was that he left stage after two songs. I can't believe it, you can't take this band for serious anymore!"

i wonder if i can get my money back...
