The Killers frontman Brandon Flowers ranted against the American music scene in an interview.




Just call Ronnie Vanucci "Mr. Not-so-brightside."


The Killers drummer went on the record with The Sun to talk about the difference between the music scenes in their native England and in America.

"Breaking in the UK first was great because America is retarded musically," Vanucci said. "It's upside down. There's so much great music that doesn't get the attention. There's a lot of bulls—t on US radio."


Frontman Brandon Flowers agreed, repeating Vanucci's terminology.

"I start to wonder, what do adults listen to? Do they listen to what's being played on the radio?" he added. "You should listen to something that's for you—not about giving your virginity to your boyfriend on Saturday night."


"It is retarded," he said. "Every song is that song. And if 40-year-olds are listening to that rubbish, they're going to raise kids on it. It's not even music."


The band's new single "Shot At the Night" will be released on Monday.
