Charlie: "I love Busted. Really." Ergo He's Not Quitting.

He tried to leave, his genetically engineered eyebrows hunted him down and dragged him back. They torure him in his sleep because of it.

busted are a damn good pop band, if you listen to their second album...

Busted are a boy band

i dont like their songs

i dont like boy bands

i cant believe youve compared green day with busted

agreed. the second album is really quite good.

There was no need to say that about biffy clyro, what wrong with em? Are u tryin to say that theyre never gna b famous or sumfin? Coz you know, theyve got further than you have. so leave em alone coz they rock.
I dont really like busted but if charlies happy doing that, then really its none of our business. Sorry brusma but you really shud shut your mouth.

"Busted is NOT a boy band. The Beatles were the same age as Busted are when they made their second album."

So? The Beatles also had songwriting talent, and weren't all middle-class stage school types. Also, Paul McCartney knows how to play bass, whereas the one who looks like he's experiencing x20 g-force can't even mime it. A comparison to The Beatles is infact SO ludicrous, I think you should work for the NME so you can convince everyone in 20 years time they were "inspirational" (a la Duran Duran).

Busted are a band who i'd love to have seen if the 'powers that be' hadn't got to them first. In places they're actually quite enjoyable, but the whole jumping around like you've just moisturized with deep heat thing just doesn't work . or their cover of Teenage Kicks.
I'm sure they do genuinely love all these alternative bands they talk about (Biffy, anyone else with a hint of a cult following), but the real challenge will be if they had to choose between say the smash-hits tour and touring the toilet circuit supporting Biffy.
Admittedly, they'd never survive the first chord, but y'know in a perfect world where we judge before we hear, it would be interesting.

I'd like to see Charlie continue his series of fairly underground bands t-shirts with a JETPLANE LANDING tee. Or Million Dead. Yay!

thers 3 of them isnt there?
which one plays the drums, cos i swear in their videos they never have the same person playing each instrument? or do they rotate their instrument playing a claudio 'the tinkerman' ranieri way.
the slug is draining his brain and his willpower, until it is full up with nutrients and gets released hes staying in busted.

fightstar are oh so bad. he'd be insane leaving busted for them.

in that picture he's wearing a mars volta shirt is he not?

"MARCH DA 9TH WAS WICKED MAN BUSTED ROCKED DA STAGE THEY LOOKED SOOOOOO FIT"

try smashhits.co.uk

yeh of course. so im guessing youve been to see them then. If they were that crap why did you even bother? Ive been to see them about four or five times and theyre always amazing, so while im out listening to some 'turgid, lifeless dirges' songs (if thats what you want to call them) i'll think of you in your sad, sad life sewing socks.

And.. you say that there songs are crap, how can u say that, have u actually listened to their stuff?

Im not gona get anymore into this, you can think what you like, but you are wrong. Even if biffy clyro dont make it into the charts, like the crap manufactured bands out there, they like what theyre doing, and so do i and other fans seem to think so to.

"try smashhits.co.uk"

Try not being a twat.

Nah. Duran Duran rule. And the only people who moan about bands being middle class are middle class people, generally.
"My rich dad says the strokes have rich dads. ooooh"

ooooooh! tetchy!

You and many,many people who surf this site know who Biffy Clyro are...

Doesn't that make them famous...?

If not, then what is the definition of famous please?

who said anything about pop

pop can be great, when its good

Westlife are pop, and they suck ass

I dont like busted, because i dont like their songs, they are a boyband, and it gets to me the way they are marketed, with all the bloody jumping around and school uniforms.

whats your point exactly?

If its that some pop is good, then i agree

i see

Well, by "boy band" i dont mean that they are "boys" in a "band"

Im talking about a group like "westlife" or "Five" or "take that" etc

Most people would agree that westlife etc are crap (apart from the tens of thousand of people who buy their records, but thats another argument)


But it seems that just because they play guitars, and have been marketed in such a way. Busted seem to somehow get away with it.

Add that to all the people out there trying to be all cool and "Hey i like Busted, im open minded, i like all music blah blah"

These are the same people that had a wank when Kylie got back to number 1. "Hey i like her song"

EVERYONE DID! YOU AINT "DIFFERENT"

At the end of the day they are a Manufactured act, and if i liked the songs, i could probably live with that, but seeing as i dont, it makes me dislike them all the more

2 of the other members used to be in an all singing and dancing boy band anyway, that didnt get anywhere, maybe its just me, but that just doesnt seem right that all of a sudden they are "punk rock"

Plus I dont see how the beatles are a "boy band", yes they were "boys" in a "band" but they were still a full band that wrote and performed they own songs before they got anywhere.

Obviously they got a bit of a make over with the whole suit and haircut thing, but common, its the Beatles!

Not 2 boyband rejects plus 1, put together to con tweenies out of there pocket money by thinking they were a "punk" band

So maybe its not Busted i hate, but the music industry machine in general, i mean, i cant really blame them for what they are doing

Maybe its coz music doesnt seem to mean as much anymore

maybe it never did and i was just younger and less experienced.

oh i dont know

What am i doing with my life!?!?!?!?


fuck it, lets have a fight

ill meet you by the bikesheds at 3pm!

;)

BUSTED ARE CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MM ROCKS

anyone that says good charlotte, green day, blink 182, mest or ANY of those lame emo-pop-punk bands on drive-thru records are better than busted is factually wrong. busted are unpretentious pop music - those other bands are bad pop music pretending to be punk.

i love you and want to fuck you in bed

Now THAT I'd like to see... ;)

PHWOAR

So if Green Day are a weak pop band, what does that make Busted, who are a 28th-rate Green Day who can't play their instruments correctly?

Busted are awful. That is all.

busted are shite. period.

Ok, you can all laff @ me here, but I AM a Busted fan (not as much as I used to be).....and I've met them endless times, and to me, Charlie DOESN'T seem happy as he 1st was.....I think maybe they're waiting for the time bomb to go off now......dunno.

everyone who's coming out with this "i like busted, im open minded, im cool" attitude can fuck off. busted have taken everything most of us love about punk/rock and beaten the shit out of it for every penny they can get.

whether he wears a biffy tshirt, turns up at an aerogramme gig, or plays in his own "rock" band, he's still a wanker.

Open minded or not, you're still a fan of a band whose target audience is ten year olds.

Ace post :)

Right... So how did you find out about Fightstar? Because 100% of new unsigned rock bands do not get as many slavering girls along to their websites as Fightstar do. Don't pretend you don't give a shit about Busted/Charlie, as this is obviously the case. Don't pretend you're only interested in Fightstar because of their 'music', because this obviously isn't the case.

"most of the fans of fightstar would be teen girls such as myself that know and like charlie from busted and i seriously doubt that is the type of fans they want."

Well, you said it, at last.

Charlie has impeccable (sp?) taste in music. <3

er Funky Munky, as far as i'm concerned - i can listen to what i like. i love britney's music and busted's and maroon 5 are brilliant too. so dont tell me how to make my life interestin cos its far more better than urs if u find havin a dig at ppl's taste in music is satifactory for you.

and yes, i LOVE mcfly - whos gonna stop me listening to em - you?!

has any1 noticed thats this is none of our buisiness??? whatever chazwick does is his own choice!!! but personally i think it would b a shame if he left busted coz they are such a good band!!! they write their own songs and play their own instrument(whatever u mite think)and it would be a shame to lose a popular band who can do that!!! at least busted know wot they are and dont pretend to be anything else!!! if he says hes happy then just leave it!!!

Of course teenage girls shouldn't listen to music they like. What do you think this is, the 1970's? You should be sat with books on your head, practising your deportment.

so glad someone agrees wiv me thanx!!! and yes fightstar r great too!!! but why should he have to sacrifice one great band for the other??? he shouldnt!!! if he can manage to be in both bands respectfully then let him do it!!! is there any law thats says he cant be in more than one band??? i thought not!!! anyway no one makes a fuss of the fact that tom and travis, blink 182 are also in box car racer...so why make a big deal about charlie being in fightstar AND busted???!!!

too rite GracieMay!!! as long as one band doesnt affect the other then wot the problem??? n it doesnt look like fightstar are likely to interupt busteds schedule any time soon so just chill and stop worrying everyone!!! i still dont get the ppl think he has to choose between one band or the other...he dont!!! well not just yet anyway...

have i got this website down all wrong?

fuck busted, they're shit, And Charlie has webbed feet - fact!

whey hey! finaly an agreement, everyone has different tastes in music and no-one is right or wrong on whats good or bad!! it will be sad if charlie left busted but its totally up to him, we dont have a say in how he feels and what he likes. and hopefully as charlies_mateage said, he'll be able 2 manage both bands, which is awsome, cus i LURVE both of them!! so good luck chazwick young chap LIVE UR DREAM DUDE!!!
XXXXXX

thank you no tast is good or bad and im sick of people saying i have bad tast and busted rule and james is the best who do you think is the best

Would Busted be acceptable if we added a girl (making them non-boyband)
And.... if they weren't so successful (good on them for making it though) would more people like them....
I think the answer to both of these questions would be yes. The reason being that perhaps people wouldnt categorise them so quickly because they are essentially sucessful (how is that word spelled?!??!) boys.... I reccon if everyone who said they hated Busted was forced to listen to their (second) album there would be a fair few converts, and those who didnt openly admit they liked them would secretly like at least one or two tracks....!
As for the Fightstar thing... Mind your own, if Busted break up then they break up. I think there are more contributing factors to the breakup of a band than a side project however.

Fucking hell who cares.

Busted are Take That for the new millenium, simple as.

And those eyebrows, get yourself down the salon and pluck off boy - puts Liam to shame.

Also this thread is populated by 15 year olds.

Wow.

i see a paradox forming

explain how.

why dya think im obsessed? fightstar are horrible, its just mad noise

this i ridiculous!!! people didnt want to admittin to like busted coz it woznt kool!!! well tough shit i loved and im 17!!! there really is no age limit!!!

i agree, but i doubt i'd agree with anything else you say
