Posted November 13, 201311 yr So a Christmas single is definitely coming. And to get word out there/make everyone aware: Yep, it's called 'Christmas in LA', due on or around Dec 1st (world aids day), it's featuring a band called Dawes and is produced by Steve Lillywhite. These never do much on the charts these days, but it's a great tradition that the band and fans seems to love. Cannot wait, naturally. 'Cowboys Christmas Ball' is still my favourite from them (I know I'm alone :P ). So anthemic. :wub: Excited to hear this.
November 13, 201311 yr No way! I love Dawes! In fact I met them in September when they performed at my old school/uni :wub: The lead singer has SUCH a nice voice (and the band's harmonies are excellent!) so it'll be interesting to hear how it blends with Brandon's vocals. The Killers Christmas songs are usually hit-and-miss for me but I'm looking forward to this one, for sure :dance:
November 13, 201311 yr I'm here for another Boots or Don't Shoot Me Santa. The other ones are pretty awful and not very christmassy at all.
November 13, 201311 yr Christmas Killers Rate time! 10 A Great Big Sled 08 Don't Shoot Me Santa 10 Joseph, Better You Than Me 11 Happy Birthday Guadalupe 08 Boots 08 The Cowboys' Christmas Ball 06 I Feel It in My Bones Guadalupe was their last one I properly loved. Boots has amazing verses but the chorus is disappointing, Cowboys is just cute and I Feel It in My Bones is boring. I hope this one is great!
November 13, 201311 yr 07 A Great Big Sled 10 Don't Shoot Me Santa 04 Joseph, Better You Than Me 00 Happy Birthday Guadalupe 11 Boots 05 The Cowboys' Christmas Ball 06 I Feel It in My Bones :(
November 13, 201311 yr Don't shoot me santa and a Great Big Sled are the ones I've heard and they both are fantastic so anything on that wavelength will do for me.
November 14, 201311 yr The ones i love from the Killers xmas collection are ones that sound like Read my Mind basically,, they have an xmassy feel. So Boots, Feel it in my Bones & Great Big Sled! Hopefully they will release on the Sunday 1/12 and it could go top 40 for a change! Edited November 14, 201311 yr by steve201
November 14, 201311 yr I really love their Christmas singles, my favourites being Don't Shoot Me Santa, Boots and The Cowboys' Christmas Ball.
November 15, 201311 yr Author 09.0 A Great Big Sled 10.0 Don't Shoot Me Santa 07.5 Joseph, Better You Than Me 07.0 Happy Birthday Guadalupe 08.0 Boots 11.0 The Cowboys' Christmas Ball 07.0 I Feel It in My Bones I really don't understand the hate towards TCCB :( It's so catchy and it feels very Christmassy to me. The video is brilliant too.
November 15, 201311 yr 06 A Great Big Sled 07 Don't Shoot Me Santa 06 Joseph, Better You Than Me 08 Happy Birthday Guadalupe 08 Boots 11 The Cowboys' Christmas Ball 07 I Feel It in My Bones In general i like them all but i adore the cowboys Christmas ball, i don't understand why their Christmas singles don't sell well at all. Also i would love them to finish of another christas song or two and release a Christmas album as they have so many original Christmas songs it would be nice to have them all on one official album.
November 15, 201311 yr A Great Big Sled is wonderful and remains one of my favourite Killers songs, even though it does sound like it's trying to hard to bridge the gap between Hot Fuss and Sam's Town. The rest I can take or leave - although Don't Shoot Me Santa is a lot of fun - but I look forward to this.
November 18, 201311 yr Looking forward to this :D My Christmas Killers rate: Great Big Sled - 9/10 Don't Shoot Me Santa - 9/10 Joseph, Better You Than Me - 6/10 Happy Birthday Guadalupe - 8/10 Boots - 10/10 The Cowboys Christmas Ball - 9/10 I Feel It In My Bones - 8/10
November 21, 201311 yr Don't shoot me santa and a Great Big Sled are the ones I've heard and they both are fantastic so anything on that wavelength will do for me. You should def listen to Boots!

December 2, 201311 yr Author It's now on iTunes for 79p! Top 100 already so hopefully with it being at the beginning of the week it'll have an impact on the official charts. This song is beautiful. It's different to what I was expecting! But it's delivered for me :wub:
December 5, 201311 yr I really like the new song and ive only listened once - its a slow starter but the lyrics to white christmas at the end is class!! Wish there was a female vocalist though - woulda made it better!
December 5, 201311 yr Author 938GYJjxBeU This song gets better and better with each passing play! The videos stunning too!
December 6, 201311 yr Bet they only play the video on vh1 xmas shuffle on occassion & mtv rocks. But even on mtv rocks the new video they were playing all day yesterday was the new Killers track off the greatest hits!. Do you think the appearence on the XF final will have an effect on the xmas single? It would be hilarious if they performed it as a shock!
