Killers say they don't sound like Springsteen

The Killers' Ronnie Vannucci has responded to reviews comparing the band to Bruce Springsteen, saying he is happy to be compared to him.

The Killers' Ronnie Vannucci has responded to reviews suggesting that his band have started to sound too much like Bruce Springsteen. He says: "I think it's just one journalist going with what other journalists have said. But that's not to throw Bruce under the bus - cause he's great - and if we're compared to Bruce Springsteen, I can definitely live with that".

Having listened to the new album, I don't think they sound like Bruce Springsteen. They sound like The Killers. That said, I've never been a Springsteen fan and can't claim to have listened to his entire catalogue. So I am perhaps not the best person to be making this judgement.
