"McFly"

I went to see them on Saturday night in the MEN and they were absolutely amazing. I was expecting an average pop show at best, but what I got was a fully fledged rock concert, with flames. Thats right, flames. They had loads of cool pyrotechnics and lighting displays and, for about half of the songs, a full ochestra backing.

My friends and I also managed to start a Mexican wave going before they came on. 10 of us sat in a line coninually waving until the people in front gradually caught on. Aided by a women about 6 rows in front, who had a whistle, (possibly a PE teacher) we got the attention of about a further 10 rows and our whole block started Mexican waving. It took about 5 attempts or so until the other blocks caught on, but when they did it travelled around the arena 10 times or so.

Anyway, back to McFly. They were great!! It was such a fun night of shouting and singing along, my throat still hasnt recovered from two days ago. They filmed footage for a live DVD that they are doing and I'm genuinely looking forward to it so I can watch the gig again.

'Indie' means other things - i.e, 'indie' bands that are unsigned etc, and sh*te like Kasabian.

Umm 'Indie' I suppose, they certainly follow the lineage of the 'Madchester' days that started with The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays...

I'm not really sure what "Rock" means anymore...
Bill Hayley and Elvis kind of started it.
The Beatles and Beach Boys were supposedly Rock and Roll.

I think most people mean Rock as in the Led Zepplin Template.
Out of interest, what would you class Kasabian as?

EVERYTHING

Yeah, but whats wrong with liking both?

Wait.. don't you also listen to Guns N Roses? And you like McFly? For shame.

There should be laws against such sacrilege. Like drum n bass remixes of such gems as wonderwall, whole lot of love and stairway to heaven. just no!!!!!!!

McFly ruined, no, soiled the good name of Pinball Wizard. If I ever met them, I'd kill them.

This is the worst travesty since G4's Bohemian Crapsody...

Unfortunately this is infact what passed for 'rock' these days. Bands like mcfly, kaiser cheifs, kasabian, bravery etc. etc. are classed as 'rock' for having guitars, while anyone even remotely heavier gets passed off as 'metal'. Tis gay.
