The avalanche stage was way too small. My mate was crushed by people trying to get closer.

The only ‘rock’ band that doesn’t have an official drummer in the band 😂

They have probably had more beautiful women than anyone who will ever bitch about them. They won in the end. And most ppl (including myself) who hated them now wonder why the fuck we cared so much 😂

@@MD-uu5nt I personally don’t care less about Busted. However, they don’t seem to understand why they’re not respected by their peers. Well because they didn’t graft like other bands, playing gigs to a few people and a dog. They were put together like a boy band, so took the easy route. It’s a bit like Robbie Williams, he wants to be taken seriously as an artist, but it’s difficult to shake off that pop teeny stuff

@@dave-jk6en busted weren't put together by anyone, matt and james put an ad in the NME magazine and found charlie. charlie plays drums too. and they were marketed all wrong at the time because in the UK there were no pop rock bands, only alternative etc. So the label marketed them as a pop band cos thats all they knew at the time and that was the landscape, for anyone who needs a correction on this.

​@dave-jk6en dude if you dont know what youre talking about, its probably best just to listen & learn.

@@dave-jk6en so only bands that started small deserve respect? please
