The Killers - Hotel California

The Killers recently recorded a cover of the classic Eagles song 'Hotel California'. The track is for a 'Rhythms del Mundo Classics' album, which is an album of covers of famous songs with salsa vibe. I think I still prefer the original version by the Eagles, but the more I listen to the Killers version, the more I like it. As usual, lead singer Brandon Flowers voice is captivating throughout the song. Overall, it gets a thumbs up from me. Check it out...



I've seen the Killers 3 times in concert, and they have never disappointed. They are amazing live and I recommend seeing them if you ever get a chance. The stage lighting is mesmerizing and Brandon Flowers commands the stage and gets the crowd involved. Whether Flowers is jumping all over the stage or slowing it down with the piano, you can't get enough. Not to mention when the organs for Read My Mind and Human start to play or Killers classics from Hot Fuss and Sam's Town, everything is truly amazing.

If you don't want to shell out the $50 for tickets, the Killers recently recorded a CD/DVD set entitled "The Killers: Live From The Royal Albert Hall" at the prestigious 138 year old venue in London. The energy at this smaller venue is amazing and I wish I could have experienced it live. However, I just picked up the set and have been playing it on repeat. Go get it.

Here's a classic video for my friend, Dane...
