Chris Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 What a load of absolute pish.

framheim Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 why is the kid hiding his face? and why doesn't the guy in the shop tell them that a pedal doesn't make them heavy.what the shit is the idea of this? are they being moulded by their dad?

Wishbone G Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 This is ridiculous. The guy in the guitar shop could really play fairly decent, then the kid gets a go and plays utter shite. And the kid is the one getting the recording contract or whatever, while the guy with talent sits in a music shop.And the guy hiding his face is weird. These kids need a slap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Temple Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Fucking hell guys, they're 14 or whatever, they're rehearsing infront of one their mums in her living room, do they really deserve your ire? No, we've all done what they've done, or if you haven't then you've never tasted the juvenile enthusiasm that defines popI thought it was darling. And they had great tunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 why have they been promoted as some kind of boy band? why did they have to have a set image? oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they had great tunes[/quote']They're average age is 11. I tihnk our point is they're far too young, and far too inexperienced to have been put in the situation they're parents were putting them in. The gig they were playing seemed to be some sort of secondary school talent show and they had them in a pro studio recording singles to hand out, perfecting their stage presence, arranging their "look" all before they could actually play together as a tight band. For fuck's sake they locked them in a room until they wrote a song! They're 11! Let them play a couple of covers that their friends will know and that won't sound as shit as "Satan Rocks".

Right enough, they did do too much too young, considering my band has played in a living room infront of our mums for about 4 years without playing a local fete. Come on, "Satan Rocks" had a tune, even if it was one that's probably been recycled throughout the ages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats that for?I wouldn't expect a Pink Floyd fan to understand the importance of image for a young band. I certainly wouldn't expect a Pink Floyd fan to accuse anyone else of being pretentious. He looked cool. I wish I had had the chutzpah to have such an outrageous look when I was his age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Temple Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Do i know you?No, but I know Larsen B, and I hear some of the things you say to him at work. It's nothing personal, but knowing someone is a Pink Floyd fan immediately suggests certain things to me.Anyway, Hatred, they were a laugh, eh?

Steve Temple Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 really? what?Pretentiousness and a tendency to treat what gets called "music" on these pages far more importantly than it deserves as an art form, rather than as a facet of popular culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
