Video Release: The Killers

Posted on by Jonathan

Today we’re featuring the last of the Vevo exclusive series Watch This with The Killers, where they break down the video for their 2017 single “The Man” from their fifth album, Wonderful Wonderful. Brandon Flowers and Ronnie Vannucci walk us through some interesting factoids about the video and song including its example of Las Vegas pride and hospitality (including a cameo from the former mayor), the wardrobe by illustrious cowboy fashion designers, and the deconstruction of modern views of masculinity. Additionally Flowers and Vannucci give us insight into the influence of Peter Gabriel and the origins of the disco infused synth pop sound.

If you enjoyed the video above be sure to watch their previous entries discussing the videos for “Mr. Brightside”, “When You Were Young”, and “Bones”.

Jonathan has spent a majority of his life either in Toronto, Ontario or St. Louis, Missouri and as a result, like Cory in that one episode of Boy Meets World with the jelly beans, sometimes can't decide which he loves more. He contemplates this tension, his life as a teacher, as well as many other existential questions concerning the world (i.e. who is God? what happens after people die? is it really NOT butter?) in his car while listening to Spotify.
