Christy Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Fuck off you cunts, I went to see Shutterspeed because I wanted to. I go to lots of gigs for all sorts of reasons. Mainly, like in this case, because I wanted to see the artist playing live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can moan about people not turning up to gigs at all but you can't moan about people turning up to gigs for the wrong reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just being pointed out that it's fucking crazy, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just being pointed out that it's fucking crazy, that's all.I suppose, sneering irony is just part and parcel of life nowadays. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing. I'd much rather a 200 page tongue in cheek thread than a single 'that's fuckin shit' response. I mean, shutterspeed have gone from a handful of myspace views to recording an album and a great turnout at their debut gig. However you look at it, that can't be a bad thing.

Frankly, until the last 20% or so, I fucking love this thread. And, frankly, I fucking love Shutterspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, until the last 20% or so, I fucking love this thread. And, frankly, I fucking love Shutterspeed.I do get your point. It is mad that that's what it takes to get a crowd. My point was more aimed at the person who was trying to say it's some sort of exercise in ridicule to go to a shutterspeed gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Your work in this thread has been astonishing. You score 10/10.Proof, if it were needed.Mummy, I'm scared.This band saved my life.If Kurt Cobain wasn't cremated, he'd be rawking out in his grave. Not spinning. Definitely not spinning.Your teddy.Can you guys play for my birthday please? It's every year. Thanks!My prematurely balding friend listened to your songs, and now he looks like David Lee Roth.Shutterspeed are so good that I just punched my Dad.I think everyone is interested in a BBQ/open air gig.If you don't do it, I'll set my eyes on fire.Do you guys practice on a dey-to-dey basis?

Marsh Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I don't know like - that still gets a laugh from me.It still raises a smile but in the context of the blizzard of activity that was the first few pages of the Shutterspeed thread it was an utter gem. It encapsulated the feverent posting over the space of a day or two. I still get the feeling that this is the only thread on a forum I've ever seen that deserves it's own "review" - "Shutterspeed are so good that I just punched my Dad" is the obvious choice for a title. Or a t - shirt slogan. Or first album name. Or review in NME. All bases - covered! I keep thinking back to the posts about halfway through this whole charade with folk asking what it was all about. You cannae do it justice without reading every. single. post.!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsh Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Who was it that said nearer the start that they'd be unavailable because they would be..........MANNING THE BARBECUE AT THE SUTTERSPPED GIG!That was another hysteria - inducer!

Soda Jerk Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 That was me. I can't stress how serious I was being though. I am the Grill King.
