It's not all just because he did pop' date=' it's because he whored himself out for a record company. Maybe it's not 100% the bands fault that they don't play live all the time, but if it was me, i'd DEMMAND to play live. Miming is what pop acts are notorious for... not rock. Also, how can you guage how much of a proper band they are without knowing how much of a creative input they have regarding their songwriting. Does anyone know for sure that they actually write their own songs? Also, i can't find anything on the net that suggests they even played a gig before major-labell interest, let alone did any 'hard work' back-in-the-day. Every single bio starts with the 'What i go to school for' single... nothing about playing for years or trying to get a fan-base going.[/quote']

If your record company says you have to mime you can not refuse, they have the last say in everything, the only thing the artist can actually do is compromise with the lable. They used to write songs together "back in the day", and they write most of their songs, but I dont know about gigs. But how much do you actually hear about bands before they were famous?

what about midasuno alex?

Oh fuck, that was last year wasnt it? Of course, that gig was so good, they are an amazing band.

nope nope and nope.

Fuck you Lucy's a lot better than some male drummers I've seen. This is such a sexist thread, what does it matter what sex your drummer is?! If they can play well it's fine.

Fave band?...who knows they were all ace..my best moment was when we lost pete on our way home... soemhow he mistook us saying 'were goin to slains for....pete.. ditch us and walk to moshulu by yourself' it took us ages to find him and when we got home he shat on the carpet and left ... haven'tspoken to him since...that was the funniest night ever.. good fun playing too hope we can coem back soon

He did what?! Sounds too funny and weird to possibly be true?!

This gig is gonna be soooooo good, cant wait for SOA to return!

I enjoyed the whole evening immensely' date=' thanks to everyone who came out. Broken Sunshine were ace.[/quote']

Thank you. It was a great night all round.

Haha! He's so crazy...I was at the glasgow uni open day and you'd think "ok, im in another city, i have escaped roger" but NO! He's there, oh yes, in the same mini lecture as me! He started talking to me in the lecture hall and he was in another row from me! It was awful.

Oh, Camie, I saw Roger, he hugged me...twice!!

That was an awesome gig! It was great fun, I think we played really well! I always love the sound at moorings, we sound so much better there than anywhere else. It was the busiest I've ever seen it too which was great.

Cleartone were good, not what I was expecting at all cus I'd never seen them before.

Radio Lucifer, I thought, were better at the Damned gig than the gig at moorings, but they're still great all the same.

The Void were amazing! I love the Void and it was so sad to witness their last gig. They played exceptionally well and were the band of the night for me, the crowd certainly loved them too which was brilliant!

Aww, bless, people are pretty excited about this gig, as am I, but not to the extent of Paul and Jonny here, hehe. Should be a great gig, looking forward to it

I thought you were ace, I'll hopefully catch you sometime again. That good enough feed back for you?

Hehe, true Kirk! I agree, one of the best was the one on 20th August in Kef...brilliant night. Other good ones were The Bronx at Leeds, Lostprophets at Leeds, Placebo at Leeds, The Damned...cant think of anymore really...

Arg, I hate snow. It's so annoying, it's only nice when you're inside and wathcing it... but then you know there will be a time when you have to go outside into it... arg.

I'm not going now....

I hate you all

why arnt you going?

Right now, at this time of year, I ask what the other persons plans are for Christmas/ New Year. If that fails, I talk about my band Hehe. If I'm comfortable with the person Im having an awkward silence with I'll say something about the awkward silence...

I am!! Buying my ticket soon.

Hmm, well I heard the song and thought it was good and catchy, it caught my eye, bought the CD and I think it's great. I like their screaming, it stands out in one particular song for me as being ace. I dont know if it sounds like everything else, but I like them.

Hmm...

Go on tour

Record more stuff

Get into Uni (includes passing my exams with the grades I need)

See AFI with Stuart, and as many bands as I can.

Pass my driving test

Avoid unrequited love

Meet someone who understands me (preferably Davey Havok )

Get 2 more piercings... I usually limit myself to one a year, but next year I think I'll treat myself.

Keep in touch with all the friends that I have now.

Do some sort of excercise

Put on lots of amazing gigs in Aberdeen.

Hmm, some harder than others, but I can always hope.

The only thing good about christmas is free chocolate, and even then thats not very good cus it means you get fat and have to shift the weight and go back to being chocolate-less after christmas.

I really like them actually, not usually my kinda thing but I thought they were pretty cool. What's wrong with the video? I see the Lost Prophets similarity yeh, but you know these Welsh bands, all sound the same...

We're playing too, it'll be our last gig for a while, so thats an added bonus to anyone who's going!

Neighbours was being pretty daring today! The viagra thing for Harold, the lesbian thing with Sky and Lana () and also the incest between Serena and her brother...oooh! Its become excting all of a sudden, I used to hate it!

Yeh, they're not anymore. They've had transport trouble as Andy said in the other thread. And it turned out a couple of the other guys have other commitments.

There's only so much standing-by you can do with friends. If they constantly treat you like shit then there comes a point where you either have to walk away or tell them they have to change or they'll lose a friend. You cant tell people what to do, but you can give them adive and tell them, if they're doing something wrong, that what they're doing is wrong. But in the end the decision is theirs, and if, in your opinion, they make the wrong decision, then there's a problem.

Mmm, cant wait...
