It’s 2023 and I still got goosebumps when they combined on stage together 😂

[@baldam08]

So refreshing to see a live act that is neither lipsync'd, or drowned out by their instruments.

[@jess_gaming3354]

That's not busteds or mcfly way of doing live and never has be cause it the best way =)

[@Jboy19881]

Yeah that’s the beauty of a backing track. You can just turn it down and not have to mix it

You gotta feel for Harry, stuck at the back there while the other five get to go crazy down at the front

[@lucybaylis968]

I was thinking the same! aha :)

[@AngusJones]

but he likes doing the drums he's pasionate about it, he's probably enjoying himself, i dont feel sorry for him

[@cenaakashakash]

Yeah but he is surely enjoying it.... And without him no songs will sound good.. He is one of the Most important part of a band... And yeah a drummer surely enjoys playing on stage... ☺️So no need to feel sorry for him....

Johnny Mac the drummer is just as important in this band

[@nikkishadavies4730]

same xD i just found out that Busted coming to cardiff next month so deffo thinking of going xD

[@poppy7933]

I saw these guys when they were a support act for One Direction...and not going to lie, even back then as a hardcore one direction fan, I enjoyed their 30 minutes on stage more than the people I went there for!

[@saskiascarlet2929]

It’s 2020 and I still haven’t let go of McBusted. I love them all so much. 💕

[@spo0kyxr0mance]

Me too...I loved both seperately and my mind was blown.

I never got to see them, I was too young :(

[@cocokingdom12]

now THIS is what i call a boyband, always wanted the two to collab when i was younger!

[@MischaMoo]

i think every girl wanted them to join together. I cant believe they actually did it! SO HAPPY! (reminds me of when i was younger)

[@joshuareidmusic]

Hey @@MischaMoo we're a new up-and-coming American rock band called False Tension we'll soon be releasing our first single called "Marty's Future" (which is about the movie Back To The Future) and hopefully release our first album at the moment we 3 videos and they're about one of our members we've been going through comments on Chapter 13,Jonas Brothers McFly and Busted videos trying to promote our band,single and album

[@HedeccaTamer]

Did you never heard their collabs back in the day? The two bands covered Lola by The Kinks and Build Me Up Buttercup by The Temptations

[@jackdixon29jd]

@@HedeccaTamer Have to make a slight correction... I do see the confusion but it was actually The Foundations who recorded Build Me Up Buttercup, not the Temptations.... but again, I do see the confusion. Hope this helps

[@lovefromltc]

That synchronized leg kicking tho. 1:33 So happy.

[@maggiwarren2639]

Blimey - I'm 70 very soon and this is still one of my favourite things to watch. Just love their music, energy and vibe. Totally admired and loved McFly's tribute to the NHS too but this just embodies real respect and friendship for each other. We certainly could do with more or that attitude today.

[@ellapemberley7378]

Is it just me who's screaming at Danny to calm down at the beginning but is so excited myself..?

[@susanhannafin3793]

72 and still love them

[@meganwood7144]

I still to this day get shivers at toms face when year 3000 comes on as if to say “wait for it...”

[@CrisJZ1485]

McFly and Busted as separate bands are amazing but together as McBusted there are just no words that can describe it. I only wish I could go to their concert at Hyde Park. But sadly living across the pond makes it difficult :(

[@RawrArgh]

Transported back 10 years in the best way possible. Absolutely cheesin'!

[@theonenathe]

This is really abysmal. I LOVE IT

[@EmperorJaynus]

This is fantastic, reliving my childhood! To everyone complaining about Charlie, just enjoy what is here and don't hate him for it - have you heard the stuff the guy has been making recently? It's terrific! You can't blame him for wanting to make a different type of music.

[@ifyoureadthisyouable]

I'm 18 years old and I've moved on in my musical likes to such bands as Led Zeppelin and Metallica since my year 6 days of loving these two bands, yet I still whelped like a little girl when Year 3000 started playing...

[@rebeccaprosser]

I love the fact that two awesome bands combined together so we can still get their amazing songs even though Busted had to split up. Keep up the good work McBusted

[@christopherrussell6055]

Never listened to McFly or Busted but I randomly found McBusted and I have to say almost every song on their only album is a banger 🤯 🤩 Wish they’d continued their creative mashup 😭 Then again, their disappearance at the height of their fame gave me incentive to write witty lyrics in my own pop punk band 😏 Thank you McBusted 😍

[@didge4dec]

This makes be giggle like a ten year old girl and that's what I was when busted and mcfly were both around! Takes me back!

[@AnonymousRandomers]

When I was in Year 4 at school, we did creative writing. I remember I wrote a story about Busted going to the Year 3000. By year 6 I was a huge McFly fan and I've continued to follow their career ever since. The maddest thing is that I now work in a Primary School, and the kids still know about these guys! Brilliance. 12 years must have passed.
