Fightstar

and why do you think they're shit? because charlie simpson used to be in a pop band? he never wanted to be in that band. him joining was a stupid mistake, but now he's making real rock. music is music, and you should learn to be tolerant of bands you like and don't like, especially bands with talent, such as fightstar. there are bands I don't like, but I can still respect the fact that they're making music. you obviously haven't ascended to that level of acceptance.

What is the point?

what is the point of 'dissing' other people fave bands

every1 likes different things... all these bands are good or else they wouldn't be where they are now.
yes. some may be more popular than others.
no, that does not give you the right to say they are crap?
DOES ANY1 AGREE?

Anyways... EVANESCENCE ROCK!!!!!!!!

i love you kerrang

busted??

HA! you haven't even listened to fightstar, have you? that's so sad. you're making a huge mistake by saying that fightstar is like busted. in terms of rock--and I used that term broadly, because busted was not rock--fightstar and busted are basically polar opposites. busted incorporated pop, while fightstar uses their talent to create real instrumentation with their guitars and vocals; sometimes alex and charlie layer their lyrics so the words fit, but are saying two different things. that's true invention. not to say it's always like that--they do alot of screaming. does that sound like a corporate busted-like band to you?
by the way: when the original label fightstar was signed to tried to get charlie to revert to his old pop-rock ways, he personally walked into the company's office and tore up the contract, because he wanted a harder rock sound out of his band. suck on that, fucker.
