The Killers’ Brandon Flowers has blamed Nirvana and Kurt Cobain for making rock music depressing. Despite the seminal grunge frontman dying almost 15 years ago to the day (he took his life on April 5, 1994), Flowers lambasted Cobain. “I don’t mean it in a bad way but I think Kurt Cobain and grunge took the fun out of rock and roll,” he said. However, Flowers says that he thinks his band is now making American music “a lot more playful and brighter” – reports NME.com
Wow, listen to “Mr. Bright Side” himself, Brandon Flowers. This coming from a band who’s last album, Day & Age, didn’t even feature a single! Cobain’s been dead for 15 years and Nirvana is still selling more albums than The Killers could dream of.
I’ll take quality music over, “playful” and “brighter” music, any day.
Show some respect Mr. Flowers.

What’s up with this, Flowers? Rock music isn’t all that “fun” to begin with, anyway. Besides, I would choose Cobain’s depressing **** over yours any day.
