The Killers - Sawdust Album Discussion - Page 5

Yeah, but the difference is very subtle. I prefer Hot Fuss' version, though.

I really like "Show You How" and the lo-fi answering machine at the beginning and how the song is taken out of the machine and it really kicks in. I always liked this song, I caught my attention since the first time because of the unusual start.

I prefer the Hot Fuss version, too

Me, too! That beginning adds so much to the song. Brandon sounds drunk, which I think was the point

**-Supersonic-** · 06-02-2009, 04:31 AM

Yeah, it would make perfect sense in the song.

I've got a question... what B-side do you think that should be in Sawdust and that wasn't?

**silver screens** · 06-02-2009, 06:19 AM

'Desperate' and 'Waiting for love'

I love both songs so much, and the only recordings available are really crappy, especially the 'Waiting for love' one. What about you?

**-Supersonic-** · 06-03-2009, 04:40 AM

I agree. But there are other two that was a crime not to add them to the album: "Replaceable" and "Oh Yeah, By The Way"!

**silver screens** · 06-03-2009, 07:11 AM

I agree! 'Replaceable' especially, it would've sounded even more amazing with a better recording, and it'd fit the vibe of the album.

**-Supersonic-** · 06-03-2009, 06:54 PM

Indeed.

I always thought about "Replaceable" as a song with a lot of potential.

Did you like 'Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf'? I love the lyrics 'cause of The Murder Trilogy but I don't love the song itself.

**-Supersonic-** · 06-05-2009, 03:42 PM

Well, I like it, I don't love it. I prefer "Tranquillize".
Plus, the other two songs of The Murder Trilogy are way better.

**silver screens** · 06-05-2009, 06:19 PM

When I listen to all three of them in order I think they all balance each other out perfectly, 'cause LTBOTS is supposed to be the first one so it's not as intense, but when I compare them songs individually, it's definitely the weakest.

**-Supersonic-** · 06-07-2009, 11:18 AM

Yeah, I know what you mean. I agree.

**silver screens** · 06-07-2009, 08:24 PM

I wish they 'used' the Murder Trilogy more. I wanted like a super cool epic video with all three songs and the whole story being told

**-Supersonic-** · 06-08-2009, 03:22 PM

The thing is, The Murder Trilogy is more a fan thing. Most people who listen to The Killers have no idea about it. And it doesn't make sense to make a video only for the fans. It's too expensive. But, yeah, it would be amazing!

**silver screens** · 06-08-2009, 03:54 PM

True, most people have no idea about it

But it's so genius, it's sad to see it kinda 'wasted'. Someone should write a book about it or something

*adds to 'Things to do before I die' list*

Aren't there any articles about it? Maybe you should write one.
