Gates would fill some of the void left by Ronan Keating, who wants nothing to do with the 'Zone's reformation. Gates apparently released a second album that vanished without a trace. Truth be told, I don't remember.
A source told today's favourite tabloid, The Star: "There's always been one major sticking point in getting the lads back together and that was Ronan. He refused point blank to join the band again. But Gareth has the right look and voice and the boys really rate him."
Next week's shocker: Daphne and Celeste to return to our pop charts with a cover of Placebo's 'Nancy Boy'

Re: Pop horror! Gates to join Boyzone?
Anyone remember Buffallo G? awesome two-piece girl band. Cleopatra were great too, they had a TV series and everything, bit like 'The Monkees' and 'Da Club' (S Club 7 for those that don't them.)

There was that freak with the blue eyes, the one called Ape or something who was as thick as shit, the "bad boy" of the band with tattooes, piercings and a rude haircut and one who would up as a flight attendant.

Good memories of crap boy bands being brought up here.
Two thirds - I remember they were billed as the "gay" boy band cos all the members were gay and actually were willing to say so and so their record company thought this would be a good USP. Cant remember any of their songs though.
Let Loose were funny. I remember reading about their guitarist standing up in a pub and doing an impromptu jam/ fretwank soloing exhibition to prove how "real" they were as a band. Plus their drummer used to do that annoying "twirling the drumstick in his hand" beofre every downbeat on one of their songs.
What about North and South? Maybe the precursors to Busted with their "punk" sound and green and blue hair. Their big single was "Im a man not a boy". Ho
Others: Upside Down - I remember the brilliant BBC documentary about them.
Worlds Apart - Saw one of them working as a trolley dolly on a Virgin Atlantic flight I was on.
Northern Line?
An Irish Boyzone wannabe band who were on the Big Breakfast a lot and had about one hit?
God this is worrying me...
Oh and 5ive the metal band are called 5ives continuum research project or something these days due to possible confusion or legal challenge from the shit 5ive.
Re: Pop horror! Gates to join Boyzone?
They had to change their name to Orange Orange after someone else called Upside Down sued.
I found an Upside Down single in a branch of Cash Converters about a year ago. The back cover was them all standing around without shirts on, perfectly toned / tanned / hairless, trying to look all macho yet accessible to preteen girls. Possibly the funniest, most obviously homoerotic pop single artwork I've ever come across.

I remember they tried to have some "cred" for getting one of them to play Guitar - except you could see beads of sweat forming on his face through intense concentration...so it really wasn't convincing.
Like Busted really.
I remember O-Town
