"I mean, really, does anyone want to sit through a show by the Killers?" --Ryan Adams

After accusing the Vegas quartet of being fame-seekers, Adams posed this scathing question.

Don't know who Ryan Adams is, don't care who Ryan Adams is. I totally agree with what he said. Brandon Flowers is second to Pete Wentz on the Nikki's Top 1 Million Douchebags list and he's a cocky little sucker to boot.

I completely agree. I can't stand looking at the face-chinchilla on Brandon Flowers.

Okay, ALL of you!! BRYAN Adams sang "Summer of'65"....NOT "Summer of '69"
He was mostly popular in the 80s ---kind of pop/rock.
Ryan Adams is the guy in the pic who, although younger than BRYAN (no relation)has been around for a while, too, with bands and solo. If he actually said that about the Killers, then apparently he is pretty arrogant, unfortuantely.

Ryan Adams is my favorite musician. In truth, the Killers are okay as a band, but they've convinced themselves of their own greatness. I distinctly remember Brandon Flowers saying that "Sam's Town" would be the album that kept rock music afloat. Yeah...about that...

I actually saw the Killers and it's a memory I wish I could repress.

Is it just me our does this loser look like a brunette version of Garth from Wayne's World? Maybe that's what he's going for. Not my idea of a guy who should be criticizing rocks bands. Maybe he's just jealous of the Killers success? Funny, money has a way of doing that to you. I bet if you asked him to sign a multi-million dollar deal he'd be all over it.

The Killers are bringing back some retro influences of the 80's Wave; Great new music with some nastalgic beats. I have all there stuff....Never heard any of Ryan Adams music. Sorry he feels that way but The Killers are just that "Killer"
