Brandon Flowers takes back emo comments

The Killers' Brandon Flowers has retracted his recent comments calling emo bands dangerous, saying he regrets his jealousy and admitting he has never heard Panic! At The Disco.

The Killers' Brandon Flowers has said that he regrets his recent comments about emo bands and how they should all just die (alright, he didn't go that far). On his recent comments labelling the likes of Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco 'dangerous' he said: "I'd like to take it all back. These people are just doing what they want to do, just like I am. I'm actually a nice person and I love people. I just am opinionated, and sometimes jealous. It's not something I'm proud of."

He added that he was especially regretful about slagging off Panic! because he doesn't even know what they sound like: "I don't even know what their music's like, or if I would even like it. That made me feel even worse, to think they could have been fans of ours and I hurt their feelings. That's just stupid."

Which seems like a shame. Not the fact that he feels stupid. The fact that he's taking it back. Well, you know how we love a good feud here at CMU.
