GOD DAMN! This man is so fucking talented. Everything he writes and every song he covers is sung so beautifully and with such emotion. There is no such thing as "a cover by Frank Turner." It's "Frank Turners version of." said song. Keep doing what you do, Frank. You're fucking amazing.

Presuming they are all fans of The Killers who hate hearing their songs being covered. For the record, as a fan of both of these artists, I think Frank Turner does it justice. He's an outstanding musician and this is incredible.

He has a particular... youthful punk attitude about him which most of his fans relate to. He also gives off an aura of genuineness and kindness in both his music and his interviews etc. That is why he has such an amazing, loyal fanbase. Yes, this isn't his best... but I love it. Because I love Frank, (I've decided we're on first names basis) so this cover is epic.

PS. I was there for this. His management put up a bunch of songs on his facebook page, what ever one got more votes was the one he played. He learnt this song on the car journey to the NME office and also had to bring the lyrics with him. That's why he's looking down at the floor as that's where his piece of paper was.

All the people fighting about this video, and saying things like "rubbish" and "terrible" don't realize that he had learned the words and how to play the entire thing the day that he made this video. NME had his fans vote what song he should cover. This song won, so he had to learn the words and chords and decide he wanted to play it when he arrived in the morning. This video was made later that same afternoon.

Frank learnt this song on the way there, it was a poll for what song he would do and the one with the highest amount of votes was the one that he did.

Not his best, but it sounded pretty much unrehearsed, so. Well done nevertheless. Also, it takes lots of guts to get so emotional in front of people - and so few especially, it's actually easier with an anonymous, bigger crowd. Not everybody can do that.

Who the heck knows man, maybe he hasnt played it alot, maybe is voice is off that day. Maybe he had too many pints the night before and can't get in the rythym. Frank has proved himself already and it should be taken at face value, he did a fine job. Better than alot of the haters.

Anyone talking shit about Frank- if you have nothing POSITIVE to say, don't say anything at all. No one's forcing you to watch it. This man just sold out Wembley Arena- doesn't that say something about his obvious talent? I understand that you have your own opinion and that this really isn't his best song ever, but he'd never played it properly before and it wasn't a song he chose to cover, so please give him so credit.
