Bill Lamb of About.com gave the song 4 out of 5 stars, noting its strength as a pop - rock anthem. Jemma Volp - Fletcher gave the single a perfect score of 10 out of 10, calling it `` staggering '', while also complimenting frontman Flowers ' songwriting skills. musicOMH 's Sara McDonnell was also impressed, saying that it had `` ' classic song ' written all over it ''. The Daily Telegraph lists it among the `` 100 Greatest Songs of All Time ''. The song was nominated for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 48th Grammy Awards, but lost to `` Sometimes You Ca n't Make It on Your Own '' by U2. Live 8 & Las Vegas performances `` All These Things That I 've Done '' was the only song performed by The Killers at Live 8. Robbie Williams incorporated the `` I got soul, but I 'm not a soldier '' refrain into his own performance. Coldplay and U2 followed suit and, at their separate concerts played in Las Vegas, with The Killers in the crowd, incorporated the line into their songs `` God Put a Smile upon Your Face '' and `` Beautiful Day '', respectively. The Killers, Coldplay, Bono ( U2 ), and Gary Barlow ( Take That ) performed the track together to support a special War Child concert following the BRIT Awards ( 2009 ). Music videos `` All These Things That I 've Done '', like `` Mr. Brightside '', has two different music videos. The earlier version filmed in July 2004, which features The Killers singing while walking down Brick Lane, in London accompanied by a crowd. The video also featured shots of the audience who attended The Killers concert at the London Astoria, on July 8, 2004. The later version, directed by Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn, was filmed in May 2005 in Las Vegas and features a surreal, dream - like sequence, where The Killers, dressed as cowboys, are attacked by scantly clad female warriors armed with boomerangs. The story in the video is told out of order, but can be put in its order by the numbers displayed in the video. The latter video was influenced by the films of Russ Meyer, particularly Faster, Pussycat ! Kill ! Kill !, through the use of black - and - white photography and aggressive, large - breasted female characters. Some of its imagery is reminiscent of the works of cartoonist Robert Crumb. The band later made use of a similar cowboy theme during promotion of their second album, Sam 's Town, and its accompanying tour and music videos during 2006 and 2007.

( October 2017 ) The song features repeatedly in sports montages and events. Nike used the song in a commercial for the 2008 Summer Olympics. It is played at the Bell Centre in Montreal before every Montreal Canadiens home game. It is also played before every Carolina Hurricanes home game at the RBC Center in Raleigh along with a video of ten years of their greatest moment, culminating in the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals win. The song was used at the end of the 2009 U.S. Open tennis tournament to show the tournament 's highlights. The song was also used in Almost Skateboards ' skate video, Almost : Round Three, for Daewon Song 's part. Comedian and musician Bill Bailey frequently pokes fun at the song 's refrain during his shows, providing his own version : `` I 've got ham, but I 'm not a hamster ''. According to Bailey himself, the band was aware of the parody, finding it quite amusing. It is played virtually in its entirety over the first segment of the first episode of the 2008 PBS documentary series Carrier. The song was featured in the closing credits of the 2005 film The Matador, as well as the 2007 movie Southland Tales as a crucial part of the storyline in which Pilot Abilene ( played by Justin Timberlake ) partially lip - synchs it while in a drug - induced hallucination. It was also mentioned in the graphic novel preceding the film, Southland Tales : The Prequel Saga. It also played over the opening of the pilot of the television series Jericho. The song is sung at a pivotal moment by characters in the graphic novel The White Donkey by Maximilian Uriarte, a story about Marines fighting in Iraq in 2007 - the irony being that the people singing were soldiers. Fellow Las Vegas band Panic ! At the Disco members Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross have famously slow danced to the song according to the December 2006 issue of Kerrang. Popular among alternative rock bands, the song has been covered live by numerous groups including : U2, Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, Walk the Moon, Kris Allen ( American Idol Winner ), Robbie Williams.
