Kanye West, Jared Leto, & Brandon Flowers Walk Into A Bar...

thubmnail icon: Kanye West, Jared Leto, & Brandon Flowers Walk Into A Bar...

Is this not the triumvirate of wiseass blog commenters' dreams? The genre-bending trio is not as unlikely as it seems. Leto and Gayfish go way back, with 30 Seconds To Mars covering "Stronger" a few years ago only to incur Yeezy's wrath by beating out the rapper at the following year's VMAs. (Kanye later apologized to "Jeret.") As for the Killers frontman, his shirt is bedazzled with SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS, so where else are you gonna show that off? According to Kanye's blog, the bros were working on a DOPE ASS SONG, not designing hideous sneakers, so you have that to look forward to avoiding.

3 inflated egos, marginally talented (except for Leto who is talentless), over-hyped, douchebags who think they dress fashionably but look more like morons.

This is the future of music and film in America! Excited?

it takes a strong (and clueless person) to anoint the killers as any more talented (or less annoying) than 30 seconds to mars.

I was wondering what those were! Thanks Ye! You pitiful piece of trash. Gayfish

He's probably getting in character for the Kurt Cobain biopic and they're doing a collabo for the SNDTRK.

I would love to hear this track. It'll probably be the best thing Jared Leto ever does. Also they probably just went shopping together and traded clothes.

All hail, it's the Krewe du Douchebags!

This is epic, to get all three of them together like that. I especially have a hate-on for Brandon Flowers, when he pulled the "do you know who I am" card and threatened to beat up a woman who I assisted backstage at a music fest a few years back.

You can say a lot about Brandon, but not that he threatened to beat someone up. Have you seen the guy? Shy as hale. .

I would be convinced had it not been for A) me being there to witness it, B) him charging after said woman and reaching towards her as though he was going to hit her, C) even his band members and another band they were friends with were trying to get him to calm the fuck down but with no luck D) 5 or 6 nearby crew members had to pull him away from her and practically hold him down, and E) he continued to scream at her after the fact saying, "You can't tell me what I can and can't do! I ALWAYS get what I want!" That said, I knew it was only a matter of time before the rest of the world saw how much of a douchebag that guy really is.

sorry hun but you're making that shit up. I don't know why you have a personal vendetta against him to claim it but no grown man says "I ALWAYS get what I want!" Come the fuck on. Maybe the Brandon caricature that people make of him as an egomaniac bastard would do that, but the real guy isn't like that. You need just watch one interview with him and it becomes perfectly obvious he could barely hurt a fly. But whatever, keep imagining that you witnessed that I guess...

urm...brandon flowers never beat up a woman backstage. He is like amazingly kind, and would NEVER do that. you can claim you witnessed it, but I agree with Danielle. He wouldn't hurt a fly and he is totally not "I WANT I WANT I WANT" he's a nice guy with a big ambition, and people just don't like his quiet self confidence.

Good Lord, I'm amazed that the room could contain their abnormally large heads. And to everyone calling Eliza a liar because you see Brandon Flowers in interviews and he "seems" like a nice guy, I'd like to know what proof do you have to back up your defenses, other than TV interviews in which Brandon plays the "I'm a nice, shy guy" card. I'm not saying you must believe her, as she could very well be making it up, but unless you've met the man in person, don't try to act like you know better. If it were true, it probably wouldn't be above him, considering he's so arrogant he complained about people not giving him as much respect as Led Zeppelin and Nirvana, two bands that supersede him by lightyears.

He never complained nobody respected him enough. While it is true he seems rather arrogant, that is an outright lie. He said that American music fans focus too much on those two bands. I think he is correct, Nirvana isn't that good and everyone is 'obsessed' with Led Zepplin. The latter band does have good music but in my opinion are very much overated. I highly doubt he threatened to beat up a woman and pulled the bratty celebrity stunt. He is deeply religious and has hgih moral standards. I'm sure both would prevent him from behaving in such a manner
