Guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor revealed on the US radio show In the Studio with Redbeard (which spotlighted the making of 1980's The Game) that the band was not happy with the album's final mix as the band mixed the album themselves.
Despite May and Taylor's unhappiness with the album, Live Killers hit #16 on the US Billboard Pop Albums charts and was certified Double Platinum in the US.
In the territories outside of the United States, Europe and Canada, Elektra Records re-released a shorter, edited version of the album in 1985 titled "Queen Live".
