Killers get serious about next album

Published Monday, Aug 20 2007, 11:04 BST | By Daniel Kilkelly
The Killers' drummer Ronnie Vannucci has revealed that the band are treating their next album as the most important to date.

The group have already received critical acclaim for their albums Hot Fuss and Sam's Town, which have sold over 8,750,000 copies combined, but Vannucci has promised that the best is yet to come.

"What we want to do is just keep going and keep making good songs," Ronnie told the Belfast Telegraph. "Hot Fuss was really only a couple of demos, but with Sam's Town we were working with producers for the first time and any pressure on us to come up with a great second album was self-imposed.

"The third album will be paramount. It'll be even more important than the second one."

Ronnie added that he was shocked when the band won Brit Awards for Best International Album and Best International Group earlier this year.

"At the Brits we were so nervous about playing live and didn't think about winning. We're not really about gongs or trophies," he said. "But it was amazing to win. We knew something was up when Steve Tyler came into our dressing room and started singing 'I've Got A Feeling'."
