Busted's Demise

[Doc Sark]

They made Pop music, hence the lyrics. If you don't like Pop music, then that's okay. But to damn them simply cause of that is pointless IMO. It's like saying a Yahama keyboard is pathetic because I hate keyboards.

Yeah, great analogy. Actually I didn't damn them simply because of their poor lyrics, I stated other reasons too. I found the ugly two arrogant in interviews, their cover of teenage kicks at the Brits was the most horrible thing I have ever heard, they thought they were so big because they swore on national T.V, I also didn't find their songs musically adventurous or stimulating. Yes they were catchy, but catchy became annoying. Hate maybe a strong word to describe my feelings for Busted but i would definitely say I had a strong dislike for them. Why should I like or respect a group that in my opinion make poor quality songs that get on my nerves? I can enjoy pop music in various forms but not Busted, or McFly or the Noise Next Door and I imagine I'll feel exactly the same way about Fightstar. The best thing about Busted was their marketing, little girls everywhere loved them, oh and the fact that they split up. I'd like to reiterate. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

If people stopped buying the rubbish, the companies would be more reluctent to take risks with new bands.

No if they stopped churning out manufactured bands they'd actually have to go find proper musicians, who write there own song's and music. The one's who spend years practicing in a garage and gigging round venue's for years to try and get a record deal. Do you think Busted had to do that?

[boris no no]

There you go! It's true, but they never aspired to be anything but that. Comapred to Avril laviegfne who claims she's punk, Busted should be applauded.

that is true....she sucks!!
its just the jumping.....it got a bit annoying

This is from a country that put the likes of the Spice Girls at the top of the charts. In comparison Busted weren't that bad. True I didn't like them, but at least they didn't use terms such as "Zigaziga"

[Tanwen Strife]

True. No Zigazigs. Busted had their place, and they knew where there place was. Others tried to make them rock, but not themselves. They had some good songs, and some... awful ones. At least they did play their own instruments though I admit I do wonder how they managed to produce a decent sounding song with 3 lead guitars, no bass and no drums...

I remember seeing ages ago on CD:UK them saying something along the lines of "Everyone's saying we're trying to be punk, but we're not a punk band, we're a pop band". The one with the black hair played bass and I believe they have a live/tour drummer. They were like a watered-down/popped-up Green Day or Blink, and much like Good Charlotte are at least exposing kids to guitars so they don't look at rock bands and go "eugh" for no reason. Hopefully.

Yeah, I watched a few episodes of "Busted or America". Sue me.

[Agent Proto]

I never heard of Busted, so I don't hate or like them. In fact, I think it's a good thing I haven't heard of them at all.

[MJN SEIFER]

found their lyrics childish and dumb, which works in pop music but not for me I'm afraid.

Yes. Busted where VERY childish in there songs (A few lines in "Year 3000" spings instantly to mind here...) but What's this crap about ALL Pop music being childish? Since when?

[Itsunari 2000]

Busted ?

Oh my god ... * vomits violently *

[o_O]

I never hated them. I hated their music, but I must say, at least they weren't dancing around in G strings; at least their songs had a tune, unlike this rap crap that gets churned out at twice the volume of pop.

Take that Snoop Dog (or whatever he calls himself these days) song - Drop it like it's Hot, for example. I saw Top of the Pops on T.V, and was astounded to find that a song literally with <i>no music</i> within managed to make it into the top ten. There is a man talking with some clicking noises in the background. It's not even rhythmic - he doesn't even manage to talk in time with the clicks. :/

I don't like hearing people claim that bands are "a bunch of idiots" or "musically retarded" because of their record companies' ideas. Sure they don't write their music, but hey - they play their instruments, or at least look good doing it, which is more than a fair amount of the population could do.

But I didn't like Busted. Not my kind of music at all. xD

[krissy]

Busted's Demise is a better band name than Busted

[Rye]

Didn't it say something about Busted's demise in the new Weebl and Bob cartoon? I think it made fun of some guy's eyebrows. I dunno who Busted is really, I'm not British.

[Rainecloud]

I don't hate them, I just hate their terrible music.

[Shoden]

i liked some of Busted's early songs but the ones before they split sucked i never liked the band itself so i never went to concerts i prefer D12, Danzel, Eric Prydz and Nakatomi the best
