"Back in the day" i was a VERY big Busted fan, eventually
that calmed down and i got more into my 'mest' 'the killers' 'yellowcard' 'green day'..to 'korn' and 'slipknot' ect, but before
all that, i even got to see the band play live at my local venue...this was about 2 years ago now?? (2nd row seats i must
add) and also had thisfansite, (https://members.tripod.com/busted_UK)
Well even before the split i had my opinions
on some of busteds music, mainly about how they mentioned that they would prefer to reached the older fans with their music
as well as the 11+12 year old fans.
ofcourse, their music wouldnt really...with
titles such as "what i go to school for" "year 3000" and "air hostess" these songs have nothing wrong with them, but arent
loaded with appeal for teenagers...i know that there are older fans and even parents that like Busted, but i was watching
a news report on the split on the television and the channel was only interviewing school kids who came out with opions like
"charlie sucks" which isnt who the band would want interviewed and also...well that person obviously thought the whole matter
through!
Some of Busteds better songs (in my opinion)
are, "3am" "without you" and "that thing you do"
With the boys all being Gorgeous doesnt
make it less hard not to categorise them as a "pop" or "boyband"
After coming back from america unsatisfied
its understandable that charlie would put into play ideas of leaving, and although i havent yet had a chance to hear "fightstar"
i will for the music, where as other fans will listen and like it just because "charlie from busted" is in it. and i hope
charlie realises that.
I havent ever had the chance to meet the
boys and sadly seems like i won't ever. I think that the decision made my James and Matt about stopping the band after Charlie
decided to leave was 100% the best thing to do, some bands make the mistake of trying to find a replacement and the music
just changes. Everyone will remember Busted for what they were and not worry about things going different at the end.
It is a shame that it come to an end, But
i hope that this brings better things for the future and hope to see them (especially matt) of MTV2 and Kerrang in the future.
Best of luck
