Reverend And The Makers main man Jon McLure yesterday voiced his disgust for The Killers during Gigwise’s weekly Wednesday Webchat.
The singer/songwriter breached the subject after being asked about what bands he went to see and which stages he preferred at Glastonbury.
He replied: “It’s all about the smaller bands. You’re not going to change your life stuck in front of the pyramid stage watching the bleeding Killers are you?
He then went on to launch a tirade against the Las Vegas band firstly calling them “intrinsically evil”.
Before adding: “The Killers are corporate whores playing a marketing game with the unsuspecting masses. The ruthlessly efficient mainstream shall prevail with The Killers as soundtrack.”
Brandon Flowers we await your answer.

”You’re not going to change your life stuck in front of the pyramid stage watching the bleeding Killers are you?”
Hmmmm... i’d like to add that you’re also not going to change your life stood in front of the Other Stage in the pissing down rain at 11:30 in the morning listening to a fourth-rate Alex Turner chatting shit over a dance beat.
The Killers ARE wank though. He got that right....
- its music you either enjoy it or you dont just have a good time stop worrying about what everyone else is doing and stop bein so fkin pretentious
- McLure makes a good point. Maybe he should send me a copy of their album, because if I buy it, I’ve just helped prop up the music whore industry, of which he obviously shuns. Hopefully Reverend and The Makers will always be on the small side stages. Seems that will keep them happy.
- When the $ pours in, see how quickly he’ll bend over, what a hater! Don’t hate and just write a catchy song instead of spitting vileness. It’s obvious he’s trying to engage Mr. Flowers in a feud so that his name might get in the glossies!

- Yes, the Killers are ****ing rubbish, but Reverend and the Makers aren’t anything special either!! If Thom Yorke had made these comments, I’d agree!!
