Nicko Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I like Mr Brightside. Its a good bassline - although not very challenging, and punters love it when you play it. It's also a tricky song to play for the lead guitarist and its always worth watching them struggle with the chord changes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicbassman Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I'm well into my sixties, and Mr Brightside is................. a beautifully crafted piece of pop rock dealing with one of the oldest of love emotions, jealousy. I think some of the complainers on here may be suffering a bit from jealousy themselves, and secretly wishing they'd written it themselves. And if I'd written it, I'd certainly be very proud to tell everyone 🙂 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonstar Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I burned the Royal Albert Hall Killers gig to DVD (broadcast on TV a few years ago) - it was a corker. The song works for me. A friend loaned me (gave to me I think!) the latest CD Imploding the Mirage and I agree with him - it's dire - lots of familiar elements but it just doesn't get off the ground for me. I did read that the guitarist Dave Keuning didn't want to spend all his life on tour and wanted more family time - all credit to him imho for that - I think he is still involved with the band but there seems to be a lot more keyboards and electronics and a distinct lack of guitar riffs. Still - they are still one of the most popular live acts around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
