Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

If you have come to look at this comment then it is probably because you disagree with my comment….and rightly so they suck major ass they are yet another attempt at the Nirvana wannabe pants that the industry is pumping out and had that pants busted guy not been part of it they would be yet another band playing sh@t in there garage….

I hate them so I would like your opinion on the matter….. I am a music graduate playing guitar…that’s real chords not just a couple of power chords on a guitar that’s not plugged in!!!

I hate them with a passion…why? Well probably because I go to so many gigs and find there are hundreds of better bands out there skint because they don’t appeal to 12 year old girls and that saddens me!!

    they're ok. they sound like a hundred other bands. they are uninspiring but many bands are. i feel pretty indiffernt to them.
    • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

      Well whats the ponin of being the same as a thousand other bands...you have to be new...and inavative and experiment...who needs same old shit different day?? not me ...I need my music to evolve!!!
      • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

        Yeah but fightstar and gonna be a lot more hated then the thousand other bands simply due to the busted thing...they don't really deserve hate, they don't deserve any success really either, they deserve to just play a couple gigs in a local club then split up like the thousand other bands most probably will. I think its a waste of time/energy to something so pointless. Of course they may also develop into something better over time. I mean the rolling stones started as a covers band, Hendrix as a backing guitarist, so did so many other bands who changed the face of music so there’s always the chance one of those thousand bands (maybe even fightstar) could develop into something new and exciting.

          also you need bland stuff that a wide audience will buy else running a record lable becomes finacially unviable and there'd be no money to fund more comercially "risky" ventures and allow wide distribution of less popular bands/artists
          • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

            they sound like a poor man's hundred reasons crossed with a destitute child's vex red. which really isn't saying much. not that they're appalling, or insultingly bad - just forgettable and pointless.

    nothing you wouldnt find being played by teenagers beyond a battle of the bands down the local bar-cum-venue
    • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

      They are not unlike a 12ton vat of boiling dog shit hovering inches from your head.
      • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

        Saw them on Thursday for the first, and I imagine the last time; when they most unexpectedly supported My Vitriol.
        They just sounded very derivative to me. Each song they did sounded just like one or another famous, and much better band. Maybe one day they will evolve an identity and sound of their own, but at the moment it is more like 'rock muzak'

          i've heard a couple of snippets. they aren't bad.
          • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

            They seriously suck
  • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

    yes, well observed. thankyou.
    • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

      OMG UR ALL JELLOS, CHARLI IZ SO BUFF.

      To whoever said it, you're right: Without the Busted connection, no one would give a shit... so let's all do the honorable thing and give them the attention they deserve.

      That's none, by the way.
      • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

        I personally love Fightstar. I really like their music and its nothing to do with any sort of Busted connection at all-I personally think Alex is "buffer" than Chaz so have not just followed the fit eyebrowey one in all that he does.
        And I disagree with whoever said that if Charlie hadn't of been in Busted nobody would give a shit about them because many people on the Fightstar forums hated busted or heard Fightstars music so checked them out and found out afterwards it was Charlie of Busted fame in the band. Fightstar had a large fanbase before they were publicly known or even known by the majority of Busted fans.
        All the press and people who are not giving Fightstar a chance just because of the Busted connection are just very narrow minded people-there is not a hint of Busted in any Fightstar music! And Im sure everybody in the world likes more than one genre of music so why not play more than one genre of music if you are talented enough to do it (which by the way all members of Fightstar are-there is no not plugging the guitars in or whatever was mentioned earlier)

        And ok they may not be the most origional band in the world ever but you cant have too much of a good thing!

          OK, last night I went to a TV show taping - tonight's The Friday Night Project - and Fightstar were the house band of the week. They were all very clearly playing their own instruments, Charlie included, and they were actually quite tight and impressive.

          Then the singing started.

          Charlie's in dire need of learning how to control his gravelly shouting/not so loud gravelly shouting dynamic. Alex, the other guitarist, was singing some high pitched parts that sounded SHOCKING. Really bad.

          I do stand by my point, though. Fightstar are getting TV appearances and media attention so early on in their career because of their frontman's former job. I can see it causing a lot of in-band fighting - the others are going to get rapidly tired of being referred to as "Charlie's band", "Charlie and friends" and "the guy from Busted's new band."
          • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

            totally agree with ur point that fightstar will be know as "charlies band" heard them n do think that they have something, not sure what thou!! i think that the video for their nu single is cool, have u seen it?
            • Re: Fightstar are the best band in da world!!!

              I think the video is awesome!
              And I believe that all of the water and everything is it it because the song was going to be called "Out Swimming in The Flood" but then they changed the name to Palaniuk's Laughter because of the Tsunami disaster.
              But yeah-a completely epic video!

    everyone to their own opinion but give them a chance. Ur doin what everyone will do when it comes to fightstar. judging them on charlies previous job with busted, obviously this is more him cos he left. i think they have something, not sure what thou!. i think that the stigma of busted will stick with charlie till they produce something good, n they create a good fanbase. listen out for them cos they might just change ur mind!:) xx

      'Ur doin what everyone will do when it comes to fightstar. judging them on charlies previous job with busted,'
      Not the case for me as I have never heard Busted play. Though I have of course heard what is said on forums like this. I judge them purely on the one performance I have seen them do as support to My Vitriol. For me, there was no spark of originality that takes any average band into a higher category. Technically they were fine, but they seemed to lack any musical identity or integrity. All they played on that night was highly derivative of many other and much greater bands. I was not impressed at all.
