Towers of London: shit

Towers Of London's Dirk Tourette was ejected from My Chemical Romance's instore performance at London's Virgin Megastore (Oxford Street) last night, after he flicked a cigarette at MCR drummer Bob Bryar.

Bryar was performing at the time. Around 500 attendees witnessed Towers guitarist Tourette get into a slight scuffle with MCR's management before security escorted him into the street. To the gutter. Yeah, the gutter.

MCR singer Gerard Way told the crowd that the band's new album, The Black Parade, is the "most important album the band had ever made". Well, they've only made three, and from their label's point of view it's certainly the most important, financially, to date. It's released on October 23.

MCR tour next year - tickets went on sale this morning, and dates are as follows...

March
20 Plymouth Pavillions
21 Brighton Centre
22 Birmingham NIA
24 Manchester MEN
25 Cardiff CIA
26 Nottingham Arena
27 Glasgow SECC
29 London Wembley Arena

DiS was at Deftones. So was Mike Skinner. Having a little dance...

i think

i would have prefered to see mike skinner doing his little dance than that picture above...

Someone has to say it

Dirk Tourette is a prick

every single member of TOL

is a complete wanker.

I know this was a long time ago

but did DiS ever have that football match with ToL?

better headline

ain't they. .

...got some Rockumentary type thing coming out soon on the Bravo channel?

They really are a bunch of wankers !

has this headline

changed 3 times in the last 2 minutes or am i hallucinating again?

argh

stop it!

actually

carry on. this is funny.

Ah...

We get some excellent arguments when the ToL fans come out of the woodwork. Hurry up, folks!

it's me vs diver

they've sold out already

jesus.

Perhaps so

But ditch the casual homophobia, eh?

breastfuck

I fucking hate it when they do instores at Virgin Megastore...

If I go downstairs to look at the guitars, there is always some fucking shaved gorilla of a security guard trying to keep me, the dribbling and insane fan, away from the object of my obsession, Fall Out Boy, or The Automatic.

I might make a whiteboard that says "I'm not interested in ****, in fact I think they are fucking rubbish, I just want to look at the guitars and microphones, then walk away

i fail to see

how it qualifies as homophobia?

I GOT TICKETS:DDDDDDDD

*.xXx.*

It says...

'that' rather instead of 'than' now.

Change it again!

Yeah,

I put my reply on the wrong place too.

how many times

can this headline change haha

Well

...the term 'fag' is used as a term of abuse but also by gay people, true enough, but here it's quite clearly being used as a term of abuse.

I can't stand Towers of London but I didn't think the "joke" was funny either.

PS. I have a sense of humour.

THEY'VE CLAIMED THE WORD BACK...

...Like that word Raz uses all the time.

You know.

WING.

Reclaiming language...

...is a good thing. It has been 'reclaimed' as a term to describe a gay person but when it's a term of abuse, it's a term of abuse.

Anyway, I'll drop it because I don't for one minute actually think any of you are homophobic. I just don't like the way the word gets used like this now but that's just me.

I was just thinking that

What the fuck is going on?!

I saw one of Towers of London

getting refused entry to the VIP area at Reading last year. It was hilarious, he was with some groupie, arm slung around her, trying to get in with a broken wristband. Security were having none of it.
One of them also punhced a girl in the face in a nightclub before they got famous.
Twats.

Towers of London: shit

best headline yet.

THIS HEADLINE

is the most accurate/best.

oh for gods sake...

just keep the original one.

breastfuck

Denmark Street just pisses me off...apart from Wunjo

Sometimes I want to look at the guitars without some soulless scum sucking sickening sack of sub-human slime trying to unleash their sales patter on me.

BTW- I've bought two guitars on the cheap this year a Hagstrom and a Vox- 1 at a boot sale, another at an antique centre, for £45 and £35 respectively, that I've seen on Denmark street for £600 and £700. Fucking ripoff merchants. I mean, I got them cheap, but I wouldn't want to be paying more than £300 apiece...I know they have high rent to contend with, but I'm not a cunting charity.

In addition to which, I can go for a sneaky piss downstairs in virgin, cos of the coffee bit. Its suprisingly hard to find somewhere to empty yourself in central london without buying something.

bf

btw- and when I say 'look at the guitars' I mean in a theraputic way...sometimes I just want to idly stare at things without entertaining any thoughts of purchase

No! No!

I like the new one best. :-D

Towers Of London FUCKING RULE

YEAH

Just because

you've got a limited edition copy of "Fuck It Up" on 10 inch green vinyl doesn't mean you have to boast about it to the rest of us.

I live with a gay guy.

His gay friends come round and have dinner and stuff.

They never get offended by shit like this. It's not offensive. Unless you're a straight man trying to prove that he's at one with everyone.

Get over it...

I hate My Chemical Romance

I really really hate them. So broadly speaking, one of them being slightly burned, or even nearly slightly burned, is a good thing. However the Towers of London are shit. I can live with the whole we're so rock n roll we are stuff, what I don't get is
1 They don't seem to have any songs. I saw them at truck a couple of years back and it was just sub ramones riffs with more distortion and rubbish vocals. They were worse than the rubbish local bands.
2 Are they not really really really old? I saw them up close at Truck, and I have to say if NME does have a policy on age they clearly aren't following it. They looked like they might genuinely have been a shit 80's glam rock band who never made it, then bizarrely were picked by the NME to be famous. Madness.

Towers Of London

are basically Artrocker's fault - I think they saw them as their own Manic Street Preachers and gave them lots of gigs and did "controversial" interviews and articles about them doing kerrayzee rock and roll things, like smashing some light bulbs and having sex with some ladies. Phwoaaaar.

breastfuck

That kind of shitty politically correct stuff may get you laid at a vegetarian bumming party, but it doesn't work on a messageboard.

Hmmm

I don't think my point translated very well by the sounds of it. I know what I meant anyway, and no I wasn't trying to impress people. I'm too old for that.

bf

I know what you were on about, and KINDA agree, but it all depends on the intent of a word.

If someone is waving a knife and swastika flag, whilst shouting, 'fag'- that would be offensive, but saying stuff like 'can I bum a fag' and instilling it with double entendre is just funny.

no point in getting insulted about EVERYTHING...its just tiring.

Are you listening, mother?

I don't like

TOL on record, but they are quite good fun live

Oh great

Another reason to find Artrocker annoying.

why?

why?

they're not exciting, they don't do anything new or interesting. they're a pastiche of something that most people didn't take seriously in the first place.

and, to add to that, they're fucking abysml.

i agree

with brainlove, theyre pretty dire musically, but they put on more of a show than 90% of carboncopy indie chart bands, and theres always some tabloid-esque controversy when you see them.

but

the show is a COMPLETE FACADE!

it's fake.

100%

they're doing what Guns N Roses did 20 years ago, but they at least meant it.

fake.
terrible.
i can't WAIT until they finally go away. their album has sold shit nothing and i'm fucking glad.

Nopey

Can't remember why not. I think someone "changed the rules" or something. Can't remember!

Denmark street

is a lot of fun to spend an afternoon browsing but the prices are just criminal.

Why are you still covering Towers Of London?

Is this their fucking PR site or what?
MCR can fuck off as well.

Feel the love.

Yeah but

They're still more entertaining than the pile of scenester bands called The [insert contextually meaningless 5 or 6 letter word].

But yes, they are musically atrocious, I'll give ye that.

bf

True

who gives a fuck if they're 'entertaining'?

if you're not an idiot, you won't go and see them. if you're not an idiot, you won't go and see the pile of scenester bands either. so i'd rather have a load of bands who i ignore who refrain from wrecking my local music venues than a band who i ignore but does do such cuntish things.

s

why were they at a MCR instore. And mike skinner at the deftones? x
s

Nah.

They're shite.

And a bunch of cunts, trying to be rockstars.

wondon?

i loled

heartily.
