"Fightstar"

Hmmm, when I heard the frontman from Busted had made a 'proper' rock band called Fightstar, I sighed.

Yet I heard them on TV yesterday, and as long as I didn't look at the screen and see his monkey spade-magnet, it didn't sound too bad.

Not enough to sell me their album though.

That is all, I guess.

EDIT - shameful typo

I think they are quite good to!

They're just generic emo-nu-metal band #4563235, they all sound the same and talk about being depressed.

They're pretty crap on the guitar as well

When he was still in Busted he was always wearing T-shirts for bands such as Aereogramme and Mono (both great bands). Now he is clearly doing music that is closer to his own personal taste.

My point was if he was never in Busted no one would care what Fightstar sound like. He isn't doing anything amazingly different agreed but thats kinda my point. Why does it matter that he is trying something else.

I'm sure Busted fans felt the same about listening to Busted records. At the end of the day, just because he's chosen to sign a little bit whinier over heavy guitar backing doesn't change much at all.

So I re-iterate my question, What is he doing now that he 'believes' in so much that he wasn't doing before?

Er yeah but you could say that about any group, if you believe music really makes that little difference. Personally I could not live without music and I know it makes my life a better place.

Which is what exactly?

He still doing the same job as far as I can see. He's still not changing the world or even doing something worthwhile.

I respect Charlie more now as he could of stayed in Busted and continue to make loads of dosh but he chose to do something he actually believes in(he still looks like a muppet though). If he was never in that awful boy band to start with, you guys wouldn't care about Fightstar at all. Which I know is a double edged sword for them, as it allows them to get more attention (good and bad). I just think its a shame everyone is instantly hating them cause Charlie Busted is in it.

I cried. With anger

They are rubbish. Charlie is just trying (and failing i might add) to gain credibility from a different end of the music richter scale
