The Killers Say Bands Need To Give Fans What They Want

If you go to see The Killers, you know you're going to see them play "Mr. Brightside", "When You Were Young", "All These Things That I've Done" and a bunch of their other megahits. The guys know that it's what the fans want to see when they are at a show. Now why can't other bands do the same?

The Killers talked to Drowned In Sound and they think that bands should deliver the biggest hits for the people at their shows. 

Brandon Flowers said, “It would be silly not to offer them what they want; it’s arrogant, and it’s rude. If I go see Tom Petty, I want to hear ‘American Girl’, I want to hear ‘Freefall’. If it’s Radiohead I want to hear ‘Karma Police’ and ‘Creep’. You do need to satisfy yourself, and there are things we want to do, but you have to be aware.”

I couldn't agree more. If you shell out $75 for a ticket, $25 for parking, $40 for two beers and dinner before the show, plus $30 for a t-shirt, you're damn right I want to hear the song that made you famous.
