Busted for good: ex-member Bourne gets bitchy

james bourne busted son of dork
James Bourne, formerly of Busted and now starting over with Son Of Dork (no, us neither... apparently they have a video doing the rounds?) has taken a swipe or two at former band mate Charlie Simpson and his emo-rockin' Fightstar outfit.

In The Sun, Bourne said:

"I'm not interested in playing really small venues just so people think I'm credible.

"I admire what Charlie has done with Fightstar and he's brave to go after a different crowd. But I think he's trying to prove a point."

Like, whatever fella. Go leap off some small wall with your guitar in the air, or touch up a teacher, or crash a wedding, or something.

he looks like a scarecrow, and Son of Dork has to be the worse band name ever.

I thought that was Johnny Borell for a second. Both of them are big-featured egomaniacs.

It's a fair point. Who's a better songwriter, Bourne or Simpson? Fuck credibility.

i've moved to down to dorset and i was listening to Wessex FM (great adverts) and the dj was going "..and YES! tomorrow! we have! an EXCLUSIVE! spot with! SON! OF! DORK!!!!"
I thought it was just some local young Farmer's skatepark band with a band like that. But no, it's worse.

the son of dork single is pretty average pop-punk in the ataris style. not a bad choon though.

I knew nothing about Son of Dork until I read Kerrang! off the shelf this week. There's some stuff in there. If he's so bitchy about what Charlie is doing, why's he doing the same thing?
Damian | 29 Sep '05, 14:04 | X | Reply

Re: Busted for good: ex-member Bourne gets bitchy

it's not the same. fightstar are trying to be proper =emo= whereas son of dork are commerical sounding skatepunk.

there's a good fansite which has downloads on if you really wanna hear the single.

not that i've looked at it of course.

"But I think he's trying to prove a point"

YES YOU DICK!! He IS trying to prove a point. The point beign that he's not interested in being in a band with a bunch of c***s.

Fair point?

Re: Busted for good: ex-member Bourne gets bitchy

if you think that is a bad band name, i have just read that one of his band members used to be in a band called DudeFish.

Re: Busted for good: ex-member Bourne gets bitchy

Fair point.
Or maybe the fact he's (Charlie) trying to gain some credibility back after the Busted fiasco.
I personally think Fightstar are pretty good. I also think Bunch Of Cunts, Son Of Dork, WHATEVER THEY WANNA NAME THEMSELVES should personally, fuck off, out the window right now please.

Why were Busted a fiasco? I don't understand. And seriously, given the choice between hordes of 15 year olds chasing you about and whining postrock greboes discussing whether you're credible or not I know which direction i'd be going in.

And that's not the worst bit... the song's called 'Ticket out of Loserville', or something incredibly cringeworthy like that. Yuck.

The best thing about visiting that site was discovering that one of the members is a full 26 years old

Old enough to know better?

Unfortunately (or fortunately) the ex-Busted now 'Fightstar' guy is in a bad situation. Do something commercial and people will hate him on the grounds that he's hungry for money and fame, go defiantly anti-commercial and more 'credible' and people will think he's doing it for just that, credibility. Oh well, he's the architect of his own downfall anyway. Nobody owes an ex-Busted member anything, nor are they evidently inclined to give them anything, so he's really gonna have to fight if he wants to dispense with the pop label.

Oh dear, oh dear!!! must be something in the water today!!

Methinks you all protest too much!

Have you EVER thought there just might be a market for this guy and his band - that some may actually LIKE to hear his music. I mean if it was "one-size fits all" music - would be f****** boring and stifling of talent. There would be no desire to break free or express oneself uniquely.

Remember!!!! There is a thriving market (and indeed a craving) for both Mars Bars and Milky Bars!!!!!

Son of Dork are apparently "somewhere between Green Day and Busted." Ie they sound like Blink 182. But their song is ace. Go figure.

There was a really crap nazi-metal band called S.O.D. from like 1992 or something. Famous for songs such as "Speak English Or Die!" and "Fuck The Middle East".

here's another idea, why don't you take all of the Busted merchandise that you own, put it in a sack, douse it with petrol and shove it up your whiny arse. Then sell your soul to a politician for 10p and then you'll be qualified to listen to Coldplay too!

Touchy touchy. Why do you hate them so much? Because they're more successful than you? Because they're better looking than you? Or because you're a friendless navel-gazer wishing someone, somewhere would love you? It must be hard. Let it out mate, come on have a good cry.

Hmm, you shouldn't believe everything in the media. Plus I think the song is pretty good. Very American, but if that is the kinda music they listen to, then what do you expect?

i'd say thats fair enough! the guy doesnt want to play shit toilet venues, when half the crowd is only going to take the piss or for the support (or both actually). if you've already made it, you might as well stick with the arenas! but actually with charlie, it doesnt really matter what happens, he's still loaded.. so it can all go tits up, but its just a hobby, something to fill his days with..
