What's so wrong with pop? A good song is a good song.

Exactly. Pop is ace. And as for Busted playing live...well, maybe. But that guy hiding behind one of their guitar cabs strumming a guitar isn't there for nothing...

haha busted were just on blue peter and it amused me cos they showin off on guitar but none of them could play!

McFly rock!

hte eyebrow one is apparently a hgue aereogramme fan and appraoched the singer about a collaberation. Also i read in a guitar magazine that interviewed them that one of em(Sorry dunno their names) was in a band b4 that had a little success but never really broke through.

do u really need to ask?


pop music is all about making money. selling a product. the whole pop-punk thing was big so along came busted - and it's cool to be rock n roll these days so along comes a 'real band' who 'play' their instuments... *ahem* McFly

and there you have it

surely this is just speculation...unless you actually personally know busted how can you know that they didnt start out just like any of the fine bands in and around the aberdeen area today.........maybe one day people will be saying the same things about 10easy wishes and the like.......we just dont know now do we?!

Busted have said(in that guitar magazine interview) that instead of doing loads and loadsa of gigs they just send loads of demos off to record labels and they got signed that way.

Nope, they used to be a 4 piece band, with a drummer, but he quit/got fired, not sure which.
I don't know about anyone else, but I like Busted. They're the best thing going as far as pop music is concerned, and I think they have some really good songs. And indeed they don't pretend to be anything they're not.

Busted admit that they are pure pop, and they're good at what they do. Their songs are not direly deppressing, unlike many other pop songs. They sell records and make money, so what's wrong with that?

Hah. We're not pretty enough.

well i know for a fact that Busted have had people write their songs for them
- cos i saw a documentary about some guy from glasgow who is a professional song writer
and he's done stuff for westlife, busted etc.
he co-wrote 'what i go to school for' - or whatever it is

in my humble opinion
they lick balls
