Every time I see a Killers' performance, I'm always amazed by the level of audience interaction/participation they encourage and use throughout their performances, simply amazing. There's a reason they're one of the best live performers around.
I've been watching youtube videos for about 10 years, and for the first time ever, I literally clapped watching one... at the end of you playing with The Killers and you stood up and adjusted your suit like a badass! Absolutely timeless!
Wow thank you so much that's so awesome to hear! to be honest I was adjusting it because it was riding up on me so I just wanted to make it fit comfortably but now that I look at it, it comes across completely different lmao!!!
Hey bud, thanks to you and your video I took a shot at making a sign and they pulled me up to drum in San Diego last night!!! Thank you for initiating this, there were about 10 other people with signs it's becoming a thing!! Cheers man
Adjusting your suit at the end showed how you have owned everything during your show. I have seen this exact clip many times. It is just timeless and keeps on amazing everytime :) Great job Brandon. I will be seeing The Killers live at Rock Werchter this year in Belgium. I will think of your skills during this song.
Thank you so much my friend! I appreciate the kind words and that's so awesome! I'll be seeing them in September in Toronto and it feels like it's been forever so I know we're both in for a great time at our local shows :)
At first I was skeptical. Then I saw you actually did play. Then you didn't just play but KILLED the entire song, and not just "oh it was good". No man, I'm a drummer (and not just some guy who says he is but never practices, I'm in school for it and practice daily, gig lots) and you absolutely nailed all the parts, picked up on all the little live tricks they wanted to pull and were tasteful too. Great job man, you got it!!
Dude, I don't know you at all -- I found this video through Reddit, where people are CLAMORING for you to do an interview. But let me tell you something, man. Good fuckin' job. You brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy this moment, man. This is yours.
Wow, that means alot Thank you so much for that. Trust me when I say it's been a wild last few days. I was able to feel like a rockstar from playing on stage to doing interviews and having everyone message me.
I was there, and like other people are saying, this was a highlight! One of our own, up there with the best, killing it, rolling with the changes of arrangement to include the audience! So glad you got these shots of it too, congratulations!
It's Christmas Eve in Chicago, I'm trying to wind down from a stressful week and I found myself wanting to watch your performance again. Thank you for killing it. Thank you for grabbing the brass ring. Thank you for giving hope to us all that dreams, even those that might last for just a moment, are worth reaching for. This is a great song, but seen thru the prism of your performance it means so much more. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is soo good. I always liked this song but I feel like I have a new appreciation for it. I freaking love these guys, saw them for the first time in Vancouver and I will try my best to always see them when they come!!
cameback to watch this again after saw your Q&A's video! man this gives me goosebumps! congrats once again, and thanks for sharing that moment to the world. cheers from indonesia!
Having seen one of those moments of temporary celebrity and experiencing a completely unforgettable day myself a few years back, I completely understood what you meant about the surrealism of it all and that feeling of positivity permeating around you. It’s so true that if you have a dream and put your heart completely into something, everyone and everything can suddenly fall into place and it can happen against all odds. Thanks for that reminder with your inspiring Q&A video. I was at the show and I’m glad to have witnessed such an amazing moment in your life even if you’re a stranger! You did so great! Congrats!
My friend and I were so thrilled to see you get called up on stage. Then, you totally killed it in front of a crowd of 9,000 people! Much respect, fantastic job!
I was watching a couple other performances this evening and found myself agreeing with this particular observation. I'm very surprised that I didn't notice him before given how many times I've watched your performance in their performance of others, but what strikes me is your restraint, your professionalism, your ability to maintain a backbeat without trying to make it about you. It's five years later but this performance gets better with every viewing.
you did a really good job dude I WOULD DIE TO PLAY GUITAR WITH THEM ON STAGE I wish you played drums for this song when I saw them in Boston on the 7th
¡Muy bien, pibe, te felicito! Salvo por el detalle de que parecías estar más pendiente de tomarte una selfie que de saludarlos; Brandon te tuvo que abrazar ._. Pero fuera de eso, me alegro por el momento que pasaste.
I *love* the way you fix your jacket at the very end of the tune. You stand up and can say to yourself, "Yep....fucking *nailed* it!" Such a great experience for you man. Really good shit!

I thought exactly the same. At the end you just stand up like saying "look and learn kids". Amazing performance Brandon
As a drummer and Killers fan, this was so sweet! Loved that you added your own little twist to it, too awesome!

Great performance man, loved it from start to finish!
