Fightstar - Palahniuk's Laughter (Official Video)

Directed and Post-Produced by Horsie In The Hedge.

[@TheDadOf3-1984]

Fair play to Charlie for leaving what were one of the biggest pop bands at the time and selling out big arena's to forming a band which were only playing to a few hundred people. I remember watching them on the first tour they did at Wolverhampton wulfrun hall around the time of the first EP. To say I was impressed was an understatement. What a band, I hope for new music soon.

[@CodyDTD]

This band doesn't exist anymore mate. Keep hoping 😂😂

[@TheDadOf3-1984]

@@CodyDTD They are just on a hatius. Charlie is still writing music for the band he has said. I guess we will just have to wait and see 👍

[@adamknight7041]

I think once he went back to Busted after vowing never to do so he kind of fucked whatever reputation he'd built up for himself with Alternative-Rock / Metal audiences and the press alike.

[@rickycummins9837]

@@adamknight7041 And this is why when people vow. Never say never.

[@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh]

@@adamknight7041 Judging by the number of views and them being underrated I don’t think anyone outside of the UK cares that much. He poured a lot into this band and it just couldn’t pay the bills. Call it a sell out move going back to busted, I honestly don’t care if we end up getting more Fightstar in the future

[@DuelingPeaks]

Fightstar and Funeral for a Friend were the soundtrack to my teenage years. Two incredibly underrated bands.

[@silverpawsiblings]

Agreed great bands underated

This kicked it al off for me, followed them, I’ve been VERY PRIVILEGED to see some great live acts over 46 years, yet it’s my 60th this year & im seeing them in March 2024 can’t wait

Fightstar definitely should’ve been more commercially successful. Such an underrated band 😞, Great music nonetheless!! 😁

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

I know, because I remember seeing them on the TV, and I thought they would be big by now! It's a shame to see good bands not getting the recognition they truly deserve! 😌😞

​@@ProjectCreativityGuy96 Wembley Arena just sold out I believe so perhaps at long last they're reaching the levels of success and respect from Alternative-Rock audiences they've always deserved.

Both underrated bands are great bands

Bless you mate. I've tried to search for this masterpiece for so long now. I'm damn glad that it is finally available again.

You can feel the sadness and desperation in Charlie's voice

Sunset Philosophy being taunted for being in busted and from then on never to be taken seriously would do that to a man.

I literally have to listen to this song at least 5 times consecutively before I feel I've had my fix, I've loved it since 2006. what an absolute masterpiece.

[@kylemacvicar1345]

Its such a great song, I heard it in 2005 and saw then for the first time at the download in 2006. People were throwing bottles at Charlie at the start. But by the end they all had that place jumping.

[@DrasticEvasion]

Omg its been too long, 10years maybe, hm probably more ... When I need that fix I usually listen to enter shikari now I remembered this I can get super fixed 😆🤩

[@benfrompiltown]

such a good tune but the video is fair bent, they look like they are jizzin when they sing

[@lycanvsvampire]

To go back to that pop shite after this band which were pretty decent, he's lost any respect or credibility. Fightstar need to get back on it, even with a different singer.

[@FatalFireStar89]

They will be back with Charlie soon enough, at the end of the day it was his decision and gotta respect that, I have no problem with fightstar being one of these bands what take long hiatuses, always come back with brilliant music

[@dawnf4477]

Hey TartanS..... Charlie is no dum dum. Busted bitches pay his mortgage. The cash flow brings him creative freedom to do Fightstar. So less of the corporate hating sell out credibility shit. They ALL sell out. The fallacy of free Rock and roll is just that. It's a MI5/CIA/ Tim O'Leary fucking hand shake, rabbit hole fallacy. So just enjoy the music or don't. Busted is a means to an end. Dio used to sing in quartets, Metallica started as a cover band, RATM are tobacco smoking champagne Sony socialists and Johnny Rotten sells butter. We all end up on our back. It's called being a fucking realist. The means don't matter but the end result does. Fightstar are pure. Let Charlie find his pure project and pay for his family however he sees fit.

[@adamknight7041]

It might be "Pop" or Pop-Punk call it whatever you will but that doesn't make it shite. Busted's come back album's have actually been very likeable commercial records with a more rock/alternative Pop edge then their early records. They are working with better producers now and sound like a more authentic Pop-Rock trio, Half Way There was produced by Gill Norton who has produced for the likes of; Foo Fighters, Echo & The Bunnymen and Feeder.
