Killers Listen To 'Bono Talk'

American rockers The Killers feel ready to conquer the world, after a few words of inspiration from self-appointed godfather of rock Bono.

The U2 frontman took the band under his wing when they played together at the London Live 8 gig earlier this year (02JUL05) - and frontman Brandon Flowers values every piece of advice.

The 23-year-old, "We met him at Live 8 and we've played a few shows with U2.

"I've received a few words of wisdom. One of the things he told us was to spare people the 'interesting' second album.

"He makes a lot of sense. He's the king of what we do, so when he says something, you'd better listen."

Bono's the new king of rocknroll in my opinion, and any artist new or old would be wise to listen to his words of advice. They would be wise to listen to any member of U2 for advice. I mean they have lasted over 25 years,and got inducted into the Hall of Fame at the height of their career. That is most unheard of , so that should tell you something right there.God Bless,Robyn
