Bravery bothered by Ash's Star Wars addiction

its still a bit retarded in youre late 20s to be buying 'toys' from Star Wars - very fucking sad all told -love the films hadloads of Star wars figures - but WHEN I WAS 10-13 - not when i'm almost 30!

The Bravery are fucking shit anyway but Wheeler et al could have spent the time actually not re-writing '1977' over and over and over and over and over again

no but they have become totally formulaic over the last 5 years - you can't deny that!

you've become formulaic. band x is overrated. band y is boring. band z are crap.

yawn.

oh well I must be prime for a top media job then arf arf etc

sorry next time I will give the RIGHT answer to a thread like this - silly silly me what WAS I thinking?

maybe the star wars excuse was the best they could make up at the time when they were questioned by the bravery

Wow! How do the Bravery "lick balls?" I mean, they're not at all one of my all time favorites, but I like what they're trying to do musically.

As for Ash and their Star Wars addiction...

no comment.

yeh somethings gone a bit wrong there

i'd rather buy star wars toys than watch the bravery. if they are on tour with them they must have already seen their set somewhere else

ash are shit anyway.

the bravery are alrightish

Bit of a strange tour.

Bit of a shit tour.

The Bravery are wank pie.
Ash are dull as a door knob. Wheeler with his heavy metal vests giving the satan signs thinking they are some sort of rock n roll outfit. they're about as rock n roll as my first shit. fuck off wheeler with your shitty band and go and buy some more toys you twentysomething saddo.

The Bravery are big poo, shit, cack, bum chocolate, fart heads riding on the current trend of the moment and looking and acting like absolute cunts. I. Hate. Them.

But as for Ash... you can't knock them coz they've never professed to be anything but a pop/rock band... and to be fair, one of the best British pop/rock bands in a long time.

As for their Star Wars obsession... it is a little sad yes. But, who the fuck would want to stick around for the Bravery? They sound crap on record, never mind live. I'd prefer to walk around Toys R Us too...

I actually really rate Meltdown, one of my fave albums of last summer. Uncomplicated pop-rock, which as somebody has pointed out, Ash have never pretented not to be. Some good riffs too. I don't really care that Tim Wheeler can't sing for toffee either. Free all Angels, apart from the singles didn't really float my boat though.

And for that you respect them, Idlewildman?
I do.

blah blah blah.. et al.
whee! i said "et al". +10 cool points.

The Bravery were bothered because Ash leaving to get star wars toys probably halved the audience.

I thought they were all bankrupt almost before the last album. I'm beginning to see why. Forget drugs, kids' toys are really where the rock'n'roll lifestyle is going... :-/

To be honest, most people think it's pretty retarded to be running around watching bands in your late 20s. It's the kind of think you used to do when you were 17-21, but not when you're nearly 30! Surely it's about time everyone joined the adult world and bought no more than one album a year. Perhaps one by Morcheeba.

Fuck off, I'm in my mid 20s and I buy toys, I play video games and I chase bands around. It means not that I am childish, it means I'm not boring and don't really give a fuck what people consider to be a grown up way of spending my money.

And besides, my puppet Angel replica and Willow figures look teh aces on top of my monitor.

Oh, and you seem to have mistaken Ash being one of the few bands to come out of britpop to actually deliver any kind of consistantly good output for the last 10 years with them re-writing the same album, which they clearly haven't. Twat.
