Johnny starts it off at 190bpm (beats per minute) and within seconds, Vannucci (the drummer) seriously rushes the tempo and is suddenly pounding it out at 230bpm. I can only imagine what that did to Johnny's adrenaline. That's a tough part to play at 190 but 230?? Johnny never shows any signs of stress or panic. He stays cool through the whole thing.

Same. I like The Killers but not a huge mega-fan but this is a great Smiths cover. Too fast tempo though

This is wonderful! The legendary Johnny Marr in great form playing one of his classics, with great support from the Killers!

Probably the best vocal work from any Smiths cover I've ever heard. Brandon killed it.

I was thinking the same thing lol 😂💯💯💯he killed this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The Killers manage to shave off 10 seconds from the world's fastest rendition of This Charming Man event.

Johnny's tone sounds just like the record. Hearing that opening chord gave me chills.

That's why he's a Killer, that makes you one of The Victims

this is probably such a dream come true to Brandon, being the crazy smiths/morrissey fanatic he is

I love how Brandon looks 30 years younger than the rest of the band

"This video contains epic guitar skills."

The ONLY introduction you can give Johnny Marr.

for everyone complaining about the drummer and the tempo, they play this live quite frequently with johnny marr always at this speed. marr isn’t racing to keep up without that being agreed beforehand

When I need cheering up, I watch this video 😊

Wow this is so much better than i expected. Brandon is such a treasure

I just saw them both perform this live last weekend in Los Angeles. Can’t believe I was really seeing Johnny Marr and The Killers perform this! They sounded so amazing live!

That drummer was like O shit Johny Marr, don't fuck up....DAMN!!!

i love how fast johnny plays it. in his 50s and just totally shredding.

I would like to give some credit to the bass player also. Those lines were insane.

Why his voice fits so good in most of the popular songs omgggggggg

Stunning performance by Brandon

That's exactly how you do this shit. Well rehearsed, well worked, well played by Johnny Marr and the rest of the band were epic. Vocals were smashed - this is what it's all about! Bloody brilliant.

This is the best vocal cover of Morrissey I've heard.

i need this entire performance tattooed on my body. this song is match made in heaven with brandon's vocals. johnny marr u absolute fucking legend. the bass on this performance??? insane!!!

Brandon you freaking charming man😍😍 Johnny VERY STRONG LANGUAGE Marr Brandon sounds better than ever!!!

Fantastic live set. Nice to see Jonny Marr with the Killers!

Didn't ever think another vocalist could do this phenomenal song justice...but of course I was wrong. Branden sings like he fully understands the sentiments behind the lyrics and sings with total fidelity. And of course 'Why pamper life's complexity when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat' is the best lyric ever written.

@@bright9187 It's a fruitless pursuit to try and sing a Smiths song differently and have it come out better. Eventually the only way is to copy the original, which is why Smiths covers end up sounding like a diminished version of the original. This version is some festival fun though, at least Marr didn't try to sing it.

One of my favs covering one of my favs... I know Flowers is supposed to be super straight and christian dad and all, but Hot Fuss is one of my most listened to records and the between the lines homoeroticism (And youre a star, etc) is one of the best parts (as with Morrissey and the Smiths - Morrissey gives you SO MUCH STORY to imagine around just a few words). Sorry for the four yrs later reply but ive been down a morrissey revisit rabbithole all wk...

Marr : how many flowers do you want? Brandon: none.. I'm the one

Horrible Histories showed me the Smiths. The Smiths showed me the Killers. Man I love the KZread algorithm.

Just an amazing cover of this song.
