Thanks for finding and sharing this Serigo a rare find indeed, I dunno if I like it though, its a bit weird and doesnt seem strong enough for a single, what do you think?

Originally posted by U2Nick:Hi guys, I'm not a big Killers fan and Flowers is an ass but I did enjoy his single "Crossfire" when I heard it on the radio yesterday. I've heard the original before, it's even been in a tv commercial. However, I can't find the name of the original artist anywhere online, can anyone help me out? Thanks.

It's a cover version? I don't think so, at least I hadn't heard it...

Those are just two incidents that showcase his ego's issues. I'm all for rock stars having an ego (even I get the rock/pop ego when I'm performing / discussing music... and I'm not a rock star yet ) but it should be a strength that makes you a more original artist. Flowers' is just off-putting in my eyes.

Ive got no problem with him saying what he thinks, hardly offensive is it? I think he seems like a really nice fun guy, a great singer and writer
