With Metallica and Judy garland in his playlist,it's obvious this alt rocker has no limitations when it comes to his favorite tunes.

"Cherub rock" smashing pumpkins-siamese dream(1993)

"This song has what is probably my favorite guitar solo because it really screams at you. I used to fill a five disc changer with cd's containing songs that had guitar solos i could play:I did'nt like to go out much back then,but it was the most fun in the world for me to do a 20-song jam with the cd changer.I think i can play the cherub rock solo almost note for note I'm 99 percent there.There are a couple of backward tape effects in there that i'm not so sure about."

"Bizarre Love Triangle"New Order-substance(1987)

"I play this one a lot when i deejay.I don't see how you could'nt dance to it.it has such a huge chorus:it gets me excited.i never get sick of it."

"As Tears Go by" The Cure-Galore(1997)

"There are a couple of good versions on Galore has bigger horns and instrumentation.It just jumps out of the stereo.Obviously,the cure have been a big influence on the killers,i love them."

"Harvester of sorrow"Metallica..and justice for all(1988)

"This album is a masterpiece.its dark and has a great feeling,overall.There are so many great riffs on it,and the song structures are interesting:there are lots of different parts,some recurring and some not.All the songs are strong,but harvester of sorrow really stands out for me.James Hetfield's voice sounds great on it.I would'nt say Metallica suck now,but i think they were at their peak with ..and justice for all."

"Somewhere over the Rainbow"Judy Garland-The wizard of oz

"All of us in the band were just talking about how good this song is.it's a real pretty song,and it's always been one of my favorites I can't help it.But i only like the original(1939)movie version.Judy Garland sang lots of other versions,but in her later years she did not have the sweet voice she had when she made that movie."

"On the Guilt"Nirvana-with the lights out

"It's a lesser known nirvana song,but it's my favorite i first heard it on a split single that i bought a long time ago.It had Nirvana on one side and the jesus lizard on the other.i stopped listening to nirvana about five years ago,but i still love them,and i've got with the lights out which has some of their b-sides.i'm eager to dig into it cause their b sides were good."

"Home and dry"pet shop boys

"im a huge pet shop boys fan and this is my favorite song of theirs.its great to put on when im driving around Vegas.There's not much guitar on it.However,Johnny Marr plays on the album,so the guitar that's on there is really good."

"Hey Jude"The Beatles

"That one has always been my favorite Beatles tune.I love the way paul mccartney starts right in with the verse there's no intro or anything.the vocal itself is the hook.Brandon Flowers and i debate this one a lot.he thinks the outro is too long and that it ruins the song.but i like it,especially how paul's singing gets soulful the longer it goes on."

"Space oddity"David Bowie

"i first heard this song when i was six years old,in kindergarten.for whatever reason,my friend Adam Barker had a david bowie tape.i was a huge star wars and star trek fan.still am.when i was six,there was not that much i could relate to,but i understood that Bowie was talking about space stuff,maybe he was talking about drug stuff,but i thought he was talking about space stuff."

"Ordinary world"Duran Duran

"A nice melancholy song,John Taylor is one of the most underated bass players,just because he was in Duran Duran,i guess.but he's rally talented.

"Thunderstruck"AC/DC

"we use thunderstruck to test our P.A.system,so i get to hear it every day.it's one of the best songs to play loud.at that volume,it's so massive.it's just ac/dc at their best driving bass,loud drums and really great guitar parts."
