It's been in the UK top 100 since it released as a single Edit, not quite right but it's been in the top 100 for a total of 408 weeks or almost 7.5 years

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
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
@@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.
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
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
@@Home-u6g 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 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' 😂
@@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...
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.
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
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.
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! 😂
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
If 3:10 onwards doesn't make you feel at least a little bit hopeful that humanity is going to be OK, I don't know what will. That crowd transcends. The drummer transcends on a different level to everyone there. Johnny Marr's groove sounds like the soul of Mother Nature floating into the sky. Flowers' perfectly tailored trousers are a thing of beauty 🤤 Humans are awesome sometimes.
I've said this a million times, I don't know what having thousands of strangers singing your lyrics back to you feels like, but it has to be somewhere around Nirvana and Heaven.
I can’t tell you what that feels like but I played guitar for a band in an outdoor festival and I had a lead part. As I was playing I heard it bounce off a building down the street and when it hit me in the chest I thought I was going to die right there. It was a magic moment the likes of which I can’t explain and it has never happened again. It was like I simultaneously had full control of everything on Earth and absolutely nothing at all and it all matched up at the exact point I was standing. I imagine what you’re talking about is what I’m talking about but multiplied by 100,000 and you get to do it whenever you want. That level of “stardom” has to permanently change a man.
Noel Gallagher said despite all the drugs he’s taken and the amount of times he’s taken them, no high will ever amount to that feeling. Truly says something considering his 20s lol
my previous metal band once did a show to 200-250 people. the show started alright but then, the crowd did a circle pit to one of our songs. seeing that pit and all those smiling faces from the stage was so fun, I dare say it was better than sex with the woman of your fantasy. that show felt like the blink of an eye and i wasn't even high on any substance other than whatever energy was going on that night.
I WAS THERE!!! By far the best experience of my fucking life. I was right up towards the front, the crowd was electric. EVERYONE gave their hearts out for this. This whole set was banger after banger. ‘All the things that I’ve done’ was biblical. But this song... this tune will always be remembered as the sound British house parties ❤️
I respect so much that they always seem to to give this song their all. Lord knows they're probably tired of singing it, but it could always be someone's first time hearing it and they know that
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.
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...?
He is so humble, look at his face he cant believe hes there and everyone see their song. Even though hes so famous hes still so amazed and greaful. Look at how he looks at his friend like wtf this is mad. Absolutely love it. True musician, there for the music not the fame.
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.
“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.
"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)."
02:05, the look of a singer who loves how the audience appreciates what his band is doing. I gotta imagine, from looking at the end of the video, that these artists wish these moments could go on and on and on. It must be hard as hell to sleep that night, after having reached that level of rewarded adulation for a job well done.
He's playing at Glastonbury, in front of 10s of thousands of people, all of whom are screaming the song like an anthem and his musical hero, Johnny F*&*ing Marr is on lead guitar. If that doesn't make him smile....
I wasn't on stage, I wasn't even in the crowd, and I'm watching this about 2 years later at 1am in the morning and I still feel the fucking high. These guys must still be having dreams of this moment.
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
I live 10 minutes away from the site, even though I haven’t been able to attend yet, just hearing it and seeing all the lights at night is beautiful enough
Out of the catchment area for tickets unfortunately, only people living in Pilton get free tickets, people living in glasto, street etc get discounted Sunday tickets but they sell out quickly too
If you ever want to take an American summer holiday, we can switch houses and I can go to Glastonbury and you can go explore the East Coast. Legit offer.
Seen them this summer in Edinburgh this nearly 40 yo was singing this at the top of my voice! One of the best gigs I've been too, although seen royal blood aswell this year and they were a close second having never heard of them before lol

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.

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
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.
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
Ben Monk overrated Don’t look back in anger is better
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”
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
British people come out of the womb knowing the words to Mr Brightside....
Especially if your British
Facts
I reckon Aussies as well
The sad part is that the band is American
i think everyone around the world comes out of the womb knowing the lyrics to 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
If 3:10 onwards doesn't make you feel at least a little bit hopeful that humanity is going to be OK, I don't know what will. That crowd transcends. The drummer transcends on a different level to everyone there. Johnny Marr's groove sounds like the soul of Mother Nature floating into the sky. Flowers' perfectly tailored trousers are a thing of beauty 🤤
Humans are awesome sometimes.
Grrreetings in grexhood. As a non-human, I agree, sometimes.
I've said this a million times, I don't know what having thousands of strangers singing your lyrics back to you feels like, but it has to be somewhere around Nirvana and Heaven.
I can’t tell you what that feels like but I played guitar for a band in an outdoor festival and I had a lead part. As I was playing I heard it bounce off a building down the street and when it hit me in the chest I thought I was going to die right there. It was a magic moment the likes of which I can’t explain and it has never happened again. It was like I simultaneously had full control of everything on Earth and absolutely nothing at all and it all matched up at the exact point I was standing.
I imagine what you’re talking about is what I’m talking about but multiplied by 100,000 and you get to do it whenever you want.
That level of “stardom” has to permanently change a man.
Dave Grohl said you can sing a song to 80,000 people and they’ll sing it back to you for 80,000 reasons
Noel Gallagher said despite all the drugs he’s taken and the amount of times he’s taken them, no high will ever amount to that feeling. Truly says something considering his 20s lol
@@rebeccans7729 must be quite the high
my previous metal band once did a show to 200-250 people. the show started alright but then, the crowd did a circle pit to one of our songs. seeing that pit and all those smiling faces from the stage was so fun, I dare say it was better than sex with the woman of your fantasy. that show felt like the blink of an eye and i wasn't even high on any substance other than whatever energy was going on that night.
This song never gets old
Yep, one of the most iconic songs of the 2000s
Ashwin Nair like Bollywood songs
I WAS THERE!!!
By far the best experience of my fucking life. I was right up towards the front, the crowd was electric. EVERYONE gave their hearts out for this. This whole set was banger after banger.
‘All the things that I’ve done’ was biblical. But this song... this tune will always be remembered as the sound British house parties ❤️
RP that’s a major L
@RP the crowd looked pretty entertaining, and at least it looked like you didn't have to deal with an onslaught of crowd surfers.
@RP I saw footage of a security guard going HAM during Kano in 2019. I don;t know how you can keep at your post, I'd be off!
Oh my God... That must have been massive!!! Lucky you!!! 🙌❤
@RP It's been 8 months so a bit late but he didn't mean it in a rude way
I respect so much that they always seem to to give this song their all. Lord knows they're probably tired of singing it, but it could always be someone's first time hearing it and they know that
The drummer is good. His timing is impeccable
He’s really good
actually killer.
ronnie Vannucci jr. is very well regarded in drumming circles
Indeed, he plays that beat so tight and thats a hard beat at the tempo they played here. Awesome drummer!
Niever Lugue almost like he’s been playing this song for 15 years 🤷🏻
Man the drummer is killing it.
.. and it’s taking control
Well, he is a Killer
He's having a lot of fun
He has a name, you know
@@mitchellhughes5180 cry about it
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...?
He is so humble, look at his face he cant believe hes there and everyone see their song. Even though hes so famous hes still so amazed and greaful. Look at how he looks at his friend like wtf this is mad. Absolutely love it. True musician, there for the music not the fame.
Only music can take me so high and get me that emotional
Chris Rev ever tried heroin
Drop an E ...
Have you ever tried hating yourself? That shit will get you emotional
Ikr🥴🥺🥰
So true
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.
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.
“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.
"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"
02:05, the look of a singer who loves how the audience appreciates what his band is doing.
I gotta imagine, from looking at the end of the video, that these artists wish these moments could go on and on and on. It must be hard as hell to sleep that night, after having reached that level of rewarded adulation for a job well done.
He's playing at Glastonbury, in front of 10s of thousands of people, all of whom are screaming the song like an anthem and his musical hero, Johnny F*&*ing Marr is on lead guitar. If that doesn't make him smile....
That's the face when you have Johnny Fucking Marr as your lead guitarist.
@@akwilson1676 Yep, Mark Levy was right when he made that point.
He says to the guitarist “this is amazing”
Or “oh my god” one of the two
I wasn't on stage, I wasn't even in the crowd, and I'm watching this about 2 years later at 1am in the morning and I still feel the fucking high. These guys must still be having dreams of this moment.
One day I will listen to this song live under the summer night sky in the middle of a huge crowd of people just living in the moment.
J L You must, it's incredible!!!
I did, best day of my life
It’s one of the greatest experiences ever!!
J L That’s what I did a few weeks ago and it was a dream come true. They put on such an amazing show!
do it for us claustrophobic people
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.
Nobody is gonna talk about this dude’s absolutely INSANE fit??
It's giving Rick Astley Freddie Mercury realness
I was literally gonna lol
No.
like a mix of John Mulaney and Harry Styles
They don't call his home city Fabulous Las Vegas for nothing.
hes played this 1000 times live and still brings the full energy
What a shoulder
Es lo que digo ...se siente una energía sin igual en esta canción en vivo
When the crowd sings louder than your amplifiers...It's a KILLER from THE KILLERS.
Got goosebumps on the first few notes. Also, what a kick-ass drummer
Ladies and gentlemen please stand up for the national anthem of united kingdom
By an American band. Lol
Earths national anthem dog
no mate
@@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
mad props to the drummer. hes given it like 400% and it shows
I live 10 minutes away from the site, even though I haven’t been able to attend yet, just hearing it and seeing all the lights at night is beautiful enough
Emily Reece no free tickets ?
Out of the catchment area for tickets unfortunately, only people living in Pilton get free tickets, people living in glasto, street etc get discounted Sunday tickets but they sell out quickly too
Same I could hear all the music.....
If you ever want to take an American summer holiday, we can switch houses and I can go to Glastonbury and you can go explore the East Coast. Legit offer.
@@lockergr where in the east coast, I live in glastonbury
I love that everyone in that crowd sung every word!
Apparently The Killers headline set this year was the loudest in Glastonbury's history @ 106 decibels
Only 106? measured from a mile away? :P. I would be so stoked to be a part of that. That many people just singing the entire song that loud.
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
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.
Leon Rudkin 😂 fr
Comment Connoisseur another good choice!
I'm so moved by this. The whole crowd singing in syn to the song. Tears are coming down my cheeks.
Oh wow, I’m glad to see that John Mulaney’s career has really evolved and soared to new heights.
T.R. Foussard OMG STOP
Omg I was thinking the whole time that Brandon looked like John mulaney aha
lets all put our hands together for the uni student national anthem.
Yes

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
I need to see this band live. That first album i was 15 and im still singing mr brightside at the top of my voice 34 years old. These are fantastic.
They are incredible live.
Seen them this summer in Edinburgh this nearly 40 yo was singing this at the top of my voice! One of the best gigs I've been too, although seen royal blood aswell this year and they were a close second having never heard of them before lol
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...
I was pretty much next to you then! Def one of my top glasto moments

JOHNNY MARR OH MY GOD, why is nobody mentioning the fact a literal british music legend is playing mr brightside.
Ellie Xo it’s blowing my mind how many comments on here and so few are that Johnny Marr is playing with them.
Sean Mesler right? it’s johnny marr for fucks sake, legend.
I saw a comment saying I didn’t know al Pacino was in the killers I immediately said that Johnny fuckin marr you cancer
MAX it was a joke man...
He was in the Smiths, get a grip.
Crowd said it all. What a band!
Wow, the crowd energy there is unbelievable! The Brits really love them! I wished I was there.
Whenever Mr Brightside flares up again, the world seems to make more sense for a brief moment in time! What a hell of a song!
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

@@rogergarcia816 technically it actually isn’t, north and South America are the continents and it would sound really weird referring to Americans as united staters instead 😂
One of the moments in life I’d want to transport to in time. Right there. Singing every word.
I didn't expect to see guitar god Johnny Marr to be playing in this. I'm still waiting for a Smiths reunion.
Like morrissey will agree to that 😂😂
Yeß
You'll be waiting until death buddy
About bloody time
What's the point of a smiths reunion itll jsut be morriesey preaching racism would rather see the others reunite without morriesey and have Johnny sing
Anyone else watching during lockdown 3 and thinking they’ll never take experiences like this for granted every again?

@@chrisofnottingham Nope, they're ours. On second thought, we can have shared custody 😂
They're honorary Brits at this point, this song in particular has become a British anthem.
I think they're signed to a British record label though
Damn, I never realize how much of a beast Ronnie Vannucci is as a drummer! Dude hits like a tank!
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.”
He literally could have said one word and the crowd would have sang the rest, Great Britain are conditioned to know all the lyrics
hell he didn’t even need to say anything, all he’d need to do is start the instrumental and the crowd would do the rest
Elian Williams that’s something I’d actually love to see
Why? Can someone explain me please.
Vaea Schweig why what?
3:15 That "I NEVER"
Echoes across many generations.
The greatest British band that isn't British
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!!!!
