Hello fans of music in Spanish and English, I write to you from the beautiful lands of Mexico, in the following post I will expose two international bands that has generated a lot of noise since their formation in the pop rock music scene, they were noticed in the last decade but his music has lasted for a long time. I gave myself the task of comparing these two successful bands that has managed to generate a legacy in music with their respective musical styles.

the killers vs motel

The first band is originally from the United States, international fame jumped in 2005 with great songs like " When You Were Young » , « Mr. Brightside » , « All estos Things That I've Done ", so people I talk about THEKILLER, the band led by a rather talented person band in general I can say that I love the music of this band as they are varied, although in his last work fell a bit, I'm I'm sure we'll still have the killer for a while.

The second band is the representative of Mexico, it is one of the bands that I heard when I was a morrito , a word that we use here in Mexico to refer to teenagers between 5 and 15 years old. This musical group was released at the end of 2006 with songs like "Dime Ven" , "Far Away We're Better" , "Siempre Tú" , the band is led by   Rodrigo Dávila Chapoy , a young composer with musical studies in addition to playing the guitar and participating in the production process of many of the successes of this successful Mexican band.

In this post I will compare some things like lyrics in lyrics , sounds, art in music videos and why I think motels are the Latin version of the American group , although I think that the motel was inspired by the killer , the Mexican band evolved and He has opted for other musical styles .

Beginnings and beginning of their music

It is very difficult not to be attracted to the voice of Brandon Flowers , without hesitation, has a unique voice tone, his interpretation level is really good, on the other hand, the Motel group with Rodrigo Dávila Chapoy , hehas a vocal style so rock, his voice is really strong and in each song you can feel the right feeling. In his first songs we can find great successes with the killer like forgetting and not singing the success of 2004, " Mr. Brightside", one of the best songs of the band and is considered an anthem to the joy for this generation of young people. Meanwhile in the year 2006 the motel band made a song quite come entitled Dime Ven , with which they managed to place themselves in the taste of young Mexicans and in all Latin America

The Killers - Mr. Brightside

Motel - Tell Me Come

Lyrics and songs with messages

In music there should always be songs with messages that remind us that the world can be a better place, without doubting these bands have beautiful songs with a strong lyric that screams to the world freedom, love and overcoming, perhaps exaggerated but good, in the beautiful story « When You Were Young » tell us the tragic life of a Mexican couple, as the woman in love dies of literal love, although it is very sad we can appreciate that the real message is that we can decide to let someone love but we can put a stop to the moment when we feel hurt and betrayed because it is something inevitable. On the other hand, in the Mexican version ofthe killer , we can see a very striking video by the motel , in humble opinion one of his best videos is quite explicit lyrics but he explained: "try to be strong before a breakup loving , the vocalist tries to send a message of acceptance at the end of a love, it is described through the video that the couple is ready to finish, we have all been in a loving relationship where we no longer feel happy but we can not leave the person by the memories, in the end both separate and continue with their life. "

Motel - Far We're Better

The Killers - When You Were Young

Rock it out voice and sound

It's hard but good , the killer has one of the best songs of all time, from my small point of view 😊 , I think if there was a perfect sound and voice song " Here with Me " , and motel is not far behind , for nothing has a perfect song for me that would be his unmissable stamp, incomparable since I heard that song I declared myself a fan of them. Rodrigo's voice sounds so clean and strong, one of his best performances . Forget me .

Motel - Forget me

The Killers - Here With Me

Art and creativity in music videos

I can choose several videos of the killer as an art but the best music video of them is " Human " a very danceable alternative rock song, it has a positive message but what stands out most is the landscape and the shots of the bands playing and doing something very funny, compared to motel and his video " always you" although both videos were recorded in a desert area, the members are shown in modern and natural poses that is what gives the artistic plus to the video.

Motel - Always You

The Killers - Human

I consider that the killer is one of the best bands created in the 2000's, the voice of Brandon Flowers is unique and gives the exact tone in each song he plays, over the past few years the US band has been his songs always sounds the same and has not managed to evolve in musical matters, it is a pity because his project musical is pure art, in Mexico with motel I can say that it is difficult not to compare them with the killer , since they have a more internationally known trajectory. The music industry in Mexico is not very strict and there are always inspiring bands, but I think the motel managed to evolve and compose a style with each song they moved away from the rock and went on to make a melodic pop, on the other hand, in the last production from the killer I throw "run for the cover " with such a rock sound that I liked it. Finally, to finish this post, I have decreed that themotel was one of those bands born and inspired by the killer , but that at some point it stagnated like the American band, but over the years they have made their own style. you crave his new album. No more for the moment, I say goodbye. Oxox rock it out from mexico 😉
