Wow, that's a surprising choice (and the ugliest Stratocaster I've seen in a long time)

What an amazing cover again of this song. This song just keeps on getting good covers. They'll release the full version soon I read.

Song is by The Damn Truth - https://www.facebook.com/thedamntruth/

It's basically Jack White's version with another singer

Yeah, and I don't like Jack White's version. It's too rough and I don't like his vocals. The advertisement is not better anyway.

I like this cover:

Don't know if anyone else has shared this before, but Brandon Flower's cover of "If God Would Send His Angels" is simply out of this world. I was skeptical at first but he really does this song justice.

Usually I don't care a whole lot for his covers - I appreciate his love for the songs but he seems to pick ones that just don't sound as good in his voice. This one is just brilliant though.

Yeah, it's been shared several times. It's a great version indeed He's a great U2 fan, Bono joining him onstage to sing a Killers song was surely an honour for him!
