You don't have to be a jerk to be manly. You can be soft spoken, generous and humble and still be super masculine

If you want to test your abilities as an interviewer, interview Brandon Flowers. He’s got a lot to say but it takes a lot to get it out of him.

If I could pick any frontman to study it'd be Brandon Flowers. He's an extremely layered, conflicted, unsure individual. He seems to never think he's done good enough and never satisfied when he's done extremely well. He never quits and his ambition is incredible. He wants to continue upward and hasn't fallen victim to drugs or alcohol. He's a spiritual man which is rare in rock and roll and is committed to his family. But yet there's something beneath the surface that's always questioning.... But yeah anyway good interview haha

I love this interview. I'm not watching 'Brandon Flowers' from The Killers here. I'm watching Brandon as a person who just plays music for a living and has a family. It's very refreshing to watch this interview.

“…the country (USA), just to be completely honest, doesn’t change from president to president that much. The perception of the country changes a lot” -Brandon Flowers *PURE TRUTH*

WHO'S THE MAN? BRANDON FLOWERS IS THE MAN

You can tell that he cares, and it shows in his songs. There is a lot of heart in his music

Brandon seems to be such a warm, friendly guy with the loveliest smile and looks very boyish... and cute!

The amount of love and understanding he has for his wife is inspiring

Really like this interviewer, he did a great job! There is something "magical" about Brandon. He is authentically himself, a special edition, an original. All the stars he aspired to be, are taken, we don't need another Liam Gallagher etc... I feel, you can be inspired by other artists, but we need people like Brandon, who add a fresh twist to stars from the past, not direct copies. Also, his wife & kids seem so adorable, so glad he chose to put them first xx

What an amazing interview!! Best I have ever seen. He allows Brandon to be Brandon!!

You can tell he’s so grateful for the life he has , he has nothing to prove, he is amazing to be able to keep coming up with truly amazing songs , he really puts meaning into them & when he sings them wow

What a great interview! I love how quite and reserved his speaking voice is here and they covered even those early years when he was struggling some substance abuse. I always love that you can tell how much he loves his wife and kids whenever he talks about them. I also could listen to him talk about music for hours and not get bored. Can't wait to them in February and see him on stage, hear his incredible singing voice and hopefully more that famous smile!

You have nothing to prove Brandon flowers! Love every single song you have ever done... loved you in Manchester on 14/11/17....particularly love the lyrics to RUT! And OUT OF MY MIND! You will always be mr bright Side! Love love love you 😍😘❤️🎹🎼🎤🤗

As a normal citizen and getting up going to work and having to pick a song to drive to work to or to anything that you were about to do I think I struggle in my head as to how the music influences me in that moment and it influences me on how I make decisions. If that makes sense. So having someone like Brandon flowers make music and be who he is is very very comforting knowing that there is these higher class people who have the same morals as you. So Brandon flowers thank you for being that person. You have something that all those rockstars were missing and that’s love for your family. I think in the long run that outweighs all of them. It’s definitely an eternal Glory

What a fantastic interview. The interviewer brought his own mind and thoughts, with respect. And he really did a fantastic job guiding the interview, diving deeper, and allowing Brandon the room to open. Brandon's open heart is beautiful. I wish the best for him and his family.

What a brilliant interviewer! Respectful, well prepared, attentive. Great questions, which followed great answers!

Love Brandon. His albums are masterpieces, and his songs are deep. Not many singers have touched people's lives like his amazing voice has.

An absolutely beautiful Human being. Brandon Flowers is one of the very best of us. Amazing man, amazing band. The best music ❤

This is a GREAT interview. Brandon is amazing as always, but the interviewer is really good... asks good questions and is genuine.

That was such a lovely interview. It might be the best interview with Brandon Flowers I've ever seen. Thank you.

His voice is so soft, he’s so pure and adorable, PROTECT THIS MAN AR ALL COSTS 1:21 that’s hot

he is such a sweetheart:) Love him so much ♡

Damn, I gotta say, this is one great interviewer. Good job, I enjoyed the entire thing!

Here for all the love for Brandon and this wonderful interviewer. Thanks for letting our guy be himself. 💕

This is the best interview i've seen with Brandon Flowers. Really Great

What a bloody good interview. If that guy hadnt seen them in concert before he certainly did his research and kept BF keen to talk. Best I've seen for a while 😊

Nominating Brandon Flowers as president 2020

Love his voice, so calm and soft ❤️

Brilliant interview. It's great to see the contrast between Brandon on stage and this intriguing, more humble Brandon.

Thanks for this interview! I loved it. It's so pleasant to see him having a nice and long conversation.

This was a great interview, thank you for this! Awesome questions

To whoever wrote the title of this video, you should have an interview with Brandon Flowers about non-duality, and ask him what that is. I would love that interview.

such an incredible interview. thank you, both. thank you so much for capturing this

This interview is amazing. I haven't even finished it yet, but I'm loving it. Great insight that I've not seen from him before.

Excellent human being.

Such a great interview. It's nice to see Flowers open up as a person and an artist.

What a great interview! Such respectful and interesting questions.

Great interview. Didnt knoe Brandon went through those kinds of things. Im glad he gets to still do it and glad the way the music industry is now makes it a little easier for him. Best wishes fornyou andnyour family Brandon. Your family will be with you through thick and thin and closer to you. If you invest in those relationships the benefits definitely outweigh any fame.

One of my favorite, if not the favorite singer in the world. I love The Killers and I love his solo albums ! Read My Mind is my favorite song as well :0

You don't need to "reconcile all the different influences", Brandon. You and the band have been doing a brilliant job of that since day one. Keep up the amazing work!

He’s the man ❤️❤️❤️

This genuinely has to be one of de best interviews of an artist I've personally ever watched. Loved it 👏👌

Wonderful interview ! thanks!

wow, that's a very well researched and executed interview that has its deep and intense as well as light and entertaining parts! :)

HELLO BRANDON FROM KAZAKHSTAN. YOUR SONGS JUST AMAZING. I LOVE INDIE ROCK.

I’ve never seen him so open in an interview, I love it!

Such a chill guy, he’s made some of the best music of all time

Dustland Fairytale is such an amazing song. I can't hear it enough.

Great interview! I never knew about when he wrote Mr. Brightside. Brandon Flowers is truly one of the best artist out there!

Great, great, great interview.

Fantastic interview. Gonna have to dig into the others you've done.

Best frontman ever

I save it for the stage. Thank you, Brandon.

Great interview

Wonderful interview!

Excellent interview

Can't wait to se them again in june

Not comparing music at all, but listening to him, he sounds like he shares the values of Jon Bon Jovi, Springsteen etc. He knows he's got a voice, he knows he himself has flaws, but just wants the world, starting with the USA to be a fairer place. A place where hard work & honesty IS enough for you to get by. Where being born in the wrong neighborhood, or the wrong ethnicity, holds you back at every juncture; until there's no more road to stay on. In short, he wants parity & honesty(@systemic levels)! He's quite an enigma. Seems like a gentle soul, who's fierce, when it matters. Loving seeing him.

I love him so much he is so soft and genuine and cute aghhhh

Seeing them in Vegas in Feb. Really hoping all 4 members will be performing there.

When I hear him speak, I do not think he is a genius. He doesn't sound like a psychic, or a madman, or a magician. He sounds honest, like someone who is doing the best he can with what he has to work with, and that is the best any person could do.

My favorite song is here with me then crossfire then can’t deny my love 😍

I love him

Que buena entrevistaa

What a great interviewer

Beautiful interview.

The best interview AND BRANDON-- YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL.... BUT HAVE TO DEFINE WHAT "ALL" IS (FOR YOU)!!! IT'S A VERY BIG THING YOU CHOSE FOR A CAREER... YES..... BUT REMEMBER: YOU ARE SIMPLY A MAN LOVING MUSIC, AND LOVING TO SING TO BRING HAPPINESS TO OTHER FOLKS... IT REALLY IS JUST THAT SIMPLE!!! YOU ARE VERY LUCKY... KNOW THAT THE ONLY THING THAT IS MAKING ONE NERVOUS, IN THIS CAREER AREA, IS THE CONSTANT TRAVELING AND THE SUPER LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE!!! TAKE AWAY ALL OF THAT,... AND IT'S JUST NOT THAT BIG A DEAL! ENJOY IT WHILE YA CAN

Favorite song from Wonderful Wonderful was Tyson v Douglas. The chorus reminds me of when my older brother passed away a little over 4 years ago When I saw him go down Felt like somebody lied I had to hold my breath till the coast was clear When I saw him go down Felt like somebody lied I had to close my eyes just to stop the tears
