Default Busted in 15yrs time

Just finished watching my def leppard dvd and was 'admiring' all the bands dodgy headsets they wore while they sang their usual (dont get me wrong, im a big fan) cheesefest of lyrics and, forgive the evil thought, but i imagined Busted still being around in over a decades time still singing about what they go to school for and the thunderbirds now i wont sleep 2nite

I'm going to see Busted at the end of the year.

Like it or not, they have some of the best writers inthe industry doing their tunes, top class producers, more fanny than they can handle, more money than they can spend and I doubt they very well care or need to care about what they'll be upto in 15 years time.

Sayign that, I know a band who were approached to "be" Busted if you get what i mean and they turned it down but they reckon that Charlie will commit suicide sometime down the line in all seriousness.

They won't be around for one simple reason, they can't play. Say what you want but if you sat them down together with their instruments, no effects, loops, samples e.t.c, and asked them to play, what they'd create would be laughable.

I remember having my guitarist saying when he first heard them he was was impressed by the guitarist... in that he couldn't see how he was getting his live guitar sound from what he was playing... Unitll somebody pointed out that he's not playing live guitars... Now maybe a band like Queen can have backing tapes and justify it by saying they have a complex sound which at times needs it to pull off the songs... I'm sorry but you have to be a pretty crap musician to not be able to pull off their songs, so the only plausable reason for them to hide like this is that they can not play.

They won't be there because without everything that other people provide in the background they are a bad pub band at best. Plus I'm sorry, but it's going to be really sad if in 15 years time music is still dominated by geeks. I mean, there is no way on this earth that they can be called rock stars, they just don't have the attitude.

The ugly bass player is a bit of a booze and shag monster actually and I've seen them do a couple of live acoustic acoustic songs before and I was well impressed and this was before I dug them.

why because I've actually took the time to listen to them and came to the conclussion that they're actually pretty good at what they do instead of having an opinion based on nothign but narrow minded - ness and a bunch of single aimed at 14 year old girls?

I know I say this every time Busted are mentioned, but whatever you do, do NOT stand in front of a five year old girl on someone's shoulders

Keep On Rockin'
