Goodbye, one week wonders....

Flasher will be gutted

[Incorrigible]

I've heard him sing and play by himself and he is certainly very talented (git)

While Busted was certainly pop tat, you can't blame them. So I get to see the world, have loads groupies, and a decent amount of cash tricky

Oh dear what a shame. Never mind.

That Christmas bottle of Moet finally has some use

Oh, they've just split.

I was hoping that they had been caught in the gears of a combine, bugger.

Suckers of satans c*ck that they are.

According to one of the dappy wenches behind the bar at my local they are better than Busted.

Don't hold back, say what you feel

[MilnerR]

Hopefully their solo careers will be just as successful
September 2002 - January 2005 RIP

Sorry I feel strongly about the wholesale deconstruction of the finest art.

I'll have a listen to his new rock band over the weekend before being even more vitriolic on Monday...

But shoving a wheel spanner up your arse sideways is better than Busted...

Thank God they've gone. A mate of mine knows the new band, Fightstar, and has heard them practise. A bit punk, apparently. Will be interesting to see. Reminds me a lot of Take That splitting up. Girls all over the world devastated (like I care...), the talented one gets even more famous and the others disappear into pop obscurity.

Took my young uns to see em before Xmas - we all thought they were actually quite good musicians and a helluva lot better live than "produced up" on CD.

Ho hum

[Plotloss]

According to my man in the know, Fightstar is Charlies last ditch attempt to be taken seriously as a rock musician as that is what he desperately wants.

Not starting out in a boy band may have been a good move in that particular direction.

Can you imagine Ozzy Osbournes formative years before Sabbath being spent in a boy band?

Thought not.

Right,

because, Robbie Williams, Mickey Dolenz, Paul McCartney etc have all bomed after their first band

[Plotloss]

So you're citing.

A one trick pony
A member of the first boy band
The boring one from the Beatles

That makes it alright does it, eh?
