After a long introduction in her native language, the interviewer asked "How are you?":
I'm good. I heard you and the only thing I was able to pick out was Ronnie Vannucci.
After asking him about watching The Flaming Lips and asking if he liked them:
Yeah! What's not to like!? It's like a children's birthday party for adults.
After asking him if sometimes thinks the Killers should have weird, funny elements in their stage show like The Flaming Lips do:
We should do that! Yeah. Well, I think we have really weird, funny elements as it is. Have you looked at me?
After being told that they'd played there before and asking what he remembered about it:
Was it a round building? It was a tent? No, I don't remember anything. And it's not because of alcohol or drugs. It's just bad memory (laughs).
After being asked what it's like to play such huge stages/shows:
No we don't get used to it. Yeah, it's a big difference. It's a tremendous amount of pressure on you. Because I used to be out there and the headlining band better not suck, you know, in any way, if I'm sticking around 'til the wee hours. They have to be deserving of a headlining spot because the pressure's always on. But it's a good pressure.
After being asked if he was nervous about playing such a large festival:
I'm a little nervous. I operate on butterflies. I was telling someone this earlier. I think if you DON'T have those butterflies, if you don't get nervous, if you're not at all concerned, you're too comfortable with it, man, something's wrong. How many thousands of people are out there...45,000 people? You've got to get your shit together.
After being asked about the release date of the album:
Uh...Thanksgiving. I say that because nobody probably knows when Thanksgiving is (laughs). Sometime at the end of November - that's the trajectory. That's what we're shooting for.
After being asked about the rumors going around about the album title and then asking if it was "Day and Age":
Yeah, don't you like that? Could be a possibility. I can not confirm nor deny. (Doing Clinton impersonation) I did not have sexual relations with that woman...Lewinsky. (laughter)
After being asked why they're working with Stuart Price again.
Is THAT his name? It's kind of like meeting that special someone, you know...finishing our sentences...looking into each other's eyes and just knowing...it's automatic. "Oh, you want to do a bossa nova. But I knew that already!"
After being asked if the band would play new tracks at the festival:
Yeah, we've got a couple worked up for y'all tonight. We didn't want to give the keys to the Ferrari just yet. Peach colored Ferrari. But you're gonna hear them. YouTube....nothing's sacred. That should be YouTube's new slogan. "YouTube (TM) - Nothing's Sacred".
The interviewer ended the interview and told Ronnie to enjoy the show tonight. To which he replied:
Look up - I'll be the dude in the back. Give me a wave.
Gracias a TKC y al foro Sweet Mojave Rain!
