"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.

I think my taste is much better than yours.

FTW!

Being over the age of twelve and seriously, I mean seriously thinking McFly are a 'decent' 'rock band' is like admitting you think the Queen's a stunner.

McFly are nothing more then a manufactured bubblegum-squeak clean teenage boy band.

They're just a marketing tool for popular music, really.

No sh*t, Sherlock. Same as nearly every other pop band through the ages, including R&B.

I really hope this is some sort of joke.

Oh here we go again. Just because you personally don't like hip-hop doesn't mean it's rubbish and therefore has ruined the industry.

You always speak this bullshite and you always get the same responce. Why do you continually act completely ignorant towards other music not of your taste?

Agreed.

David Hasselhoff's music is popular in Germany.
I think that says it all.

Interesting deabte this. Even more intersting because there are types of music out there that have never broken the mainstream, yet the srtists involved with them continue to put out albums, despite the fact they are never likely to make vast sums of money...
