Ok, now Robbie Goo is doing a cover of this song with local.musicians and fans.

 

I was kinda neutral on this whole thing to start, but honestly it's getting a little cringey at this point.

 

Plus, I'm still convinced the Goo Goo Dolls killed the vibe in the Sabres arena with their simpy, ***** ass rip off of "Life in a Northern Town" that they were shoving down our throats in the years after the Drury/Briere debacle. Such a woe-is-me, loser vibe.

 

So for God's sake stay the hell away from the Bills.

That was the worst.  It totally killed the vibe.

I mean it started because they played it at Dawson knox's wedding 

I have never been to a wedding that didn’t play Mr brightside 😂. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a larger collection of people that were not Mr brightside fans hahaha I thought I’d be just on the older side of posters here but I must be wrong

I mean, we played Better Man at our wedding because I'm a massive Pearl Jam fan and it's catchy. 

 

Didn't really care about the meaning. Most people had no idea anyway 😂

The companion song to this song is called Miss Atomic Bomb and is a brilliant song.  Arguably the Killers best song.

 

Mr Brightside is a good song but an odd song to use considering what the song is about.

I never put those two songs together, lol. Wasn’t that big a fan of BattleBorn when it came out but its got some bangers when you relisten

[Captain Caveman]

This is such a weird song to play at a sporting event and for it to have turned into this anthem is completely puzzling to me.

[JTown]

I really can't believe that there are people in here concerned about a song the players have arranged to be played.   Josh and his teammates want it played in the 4th quarter.   He said so.

 

Where do you d-bags get off thinking that it should be a  song that "you" suggest.  Are there really fans on here that are that F'n stupid?  (Asking for a friend).  

 

Gtfoh....

Its been played at sporting events since it came out 20 years ago, just like Crazy Train, Machine Head, Seven Nation Army, We Will Rock You, etc. Its played at every Junior College game to the pros. I was at the UNLV/Wyoming game last night (wearing a Josh jersey) and Mr Brightside was playing when I got to my seat

I’ve been to NFL stadiums that have fake and pumped insane crap up to the whistle. Fans get drowned out by some fabricated marketing tested crap. It’s so poorly timed that crowd is literally taken out of the game. 
 

 teammate wedding. Organic things don’t always make perfect sense but they are pure and ours.

Pearl Jam is great when Eddie doesn’t go on drunken rants

I am torn on the Mr. brightside thing. It is a catchy song, but the lyrics/meaning are so unbelievably out of place to be played at a football game.

 

It just feels bizarre that that is the Bills song. It’s about some dude catching his girlfriend cheating! 

anyone have a similar reaction? 

 

I missed it at the games I went to this year, so just listened to it.

 

Yes, I am confused!  I agree with your assessment completely.

 

Now, Mr. Blue Sky by ELO makes much more sense, and is a better song, and much easier to sing etcetera. Much more upbeat and motivating. It fits in well with the positive, optimistic  personality of our leader, Josh Allen.  And perfect for the end of a game, a great victory.

We need to change to this, or something else, before Brightside becomes too ingrained!

Those songs aren't about getting Cucked (I'm pretty sure anyway, and even if they are they're much more subtle about it.) It's just a really weird song for thousands of people (who aren't at a concert anyway) to sing along to.
