The Killers Want To Knock Led Zeppelin And Nirvana Off Their Pedestals

(MusicRadar) Killers frontman Brandon Flowers blames American rock fans "obsessed" with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana for stunting his band's stateside progress [he might want to look at his label's PR peeps promotion efforts or lack of such and maybe make music on par with such artists]. Speaking to NME, Flowers expressed frustration with American audiences who apparently "don't believe that it's possible that anybody else can be the real deal"."We've been embraced in Britain in a way that I'll never understand, and it's such a wonderful thing," says Flowers, "But over here people are still so obsessed with Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, those sorts of bands, that nobody else is allowed [to grow]." He also claims that The Killers aren't the only band to suffer: "It's not just us; there are a lot of great bands that have been held down or confined by the influence of these people that we've put up on pedestals. I'm tired of it, you know? I just want to knock them all off! And people don't like that attitude." [Been hanging around Kanye West a bit too much perhaps?] - more killer comedy here
