The multiplatinum Killers just released a new CD, "Sam's Town." Lead singer Brandon Flowers talked to Jac Chebatoris.
Your last record, "Hot Fuss," sold millions. Are you feeling any pressure?
I think that gave us a lot of confidence, so we're coming out guns blazing.
What's with your new Freddie Mercury-in-a-spaghetti-Western look?
We've embraced our Western roots! That's what the album is about and we thought we might as well go with it. Maybe I'm going to be reincarnated as [the outlaw] Josey Wales.
Does [drummer] Ronnie Vannucci know he looks just like Jason Lee in "My Name Is Earl"?
People who are actually friends with Jason Lee have stopped and talked to Ronnie and did not know it wasn't Jason.
You're a rock star and a Mormon.
Yeah. It's difficult sometimes. I think growing up in Las Vegas was a good primer for it.
Your newfound love of Springsteen's music's been overhyped.
I feel kind of bad that his name has been attached to us, because what if he doesn't like it? All I did was tell a journalist that's what I was listening to. The album doesn't sound like "Born to Run." People get brainwashed into thinking that's what it sounds like because of what they've read.
You were in a sketch on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last week. Do you have aspirations to act?
I would do, like, a musical.
Which?
"The Sound of Music." Maybe I can be the Captain. The salt and pepper is coming.
You have grays?
Oh, I have hundreds.
Are you going to get Clairol?
No, I'm just going to let it happen. I'm a natural man.

Tu mas reciente CD "HOT FUSS" vendió millones. Te sientes presionado?
Creo que nos dió bastante confianza, asi que ahora venimos con pistolas brillantes.
Que nos dices de tu nuevo look a la 'Freddie Mercury en traje del viejo oeste'?
Hemos aceptado nustras raíces del oeste! De eso se trata el album y pensamos que debíamos ir con ello. Tal vez vaya a reencarnar como Josey Wales.
Sabe Ronnie que se parece a Jason Lee en "My name is Earl"?
Hay gente que en verdad son amigos de Jason y paran a Ronnie en la calle para hablar con el, y no sabían que no era Jason.
Eres un rockstar y tambien mormón.
Si. A veces es dificil. Creo que el crecer en Las Vegas fue una buena primicia de eso.
Tu nuevo amor por la musica de Springsteen ha sido muy comentado.
Me siento algo mal de que su nombre haya sido relacionado a nosotros, porque que tal que a él no le gusta?
Lo unico que hize fue decirle a un periodista la musica que escuchaba en ese momento. Nuestro album no suena como "Born to run". Le lavan el cerebro a la gente para que crean eso, ya que es lo que leen.
Estuviste en un sketch en el show de Jimmy Kimmel la semana pasada. Tienes aspiraciones para actuar?
Haría algo asi como un musical.
Cual?
"The Sound of Music" Tal vez pueda ser el capitán, se vienen la sal y pimienta
Tienes canas?
Oh, tengo cientos
Comprarás Clairol?
No, solo lo dejaré pasar, soy un hombre natural.
