how about everyone stop with the personal attacks and just agree that this thread is absolutely useless. Honestly, almost every single post is comprised of personal attacks to other members, incoherant shorthand words that people use in IM (ok, i know it's faster but take the TWO EXTRA SECONDS to type out the actual words so the rest of us don't have to go over your post five times to figure out what you're trying to say), or a mix of the two. There's already about 3 other threads dedicated to petty bickering over weather or not Busted suck, do we really need one more?

Thats true.

:) :) dont wurry!

ok !

:) Thnx 4 apologisin every1 does av dere views & da was urs ya only spkin out & dats gd so no probs dude :)

someone went through my five points and thought i was talking about busted. with the dancers etc.
Well, try READING... those 5 points.. if a band falls under 1 or more of these categories, then they are CRAP.

i dont care who here likes busted, the point is, busted are a crap band. they have brought nothing new to music and are a blotch on musical history.
they are totally based on image, and dancing, and jumping about with their guitars which they are quite obviously not playing.

"they basically always sing live"

i have seen them sing live about twice.. and ive seen them hundreds of times (unfortunately)

they are a gimmick boy band, they do NOT write all their own songs, and thunderbirds are go is one of the most awful songs ever made.

busted are crap, and will never in their wildest dreams bring anything new or exciting to music.

but if you like them, fair enough. good for you. have fun.

true. true.
they are just a little footnote on ROCKS heavy ass!
Rock isn't about the image. My Grandma could look more rock then busted. Rock is about the music, its about the passion!
ok, so people might like busted, but they don't deserve any kudos!
bands which deserve respect are those who actually ROCK!
Led Zeppelin!
AC/DC
Black Sabbath
Motorhead
Pantera
Megadeth
Metallica
Guns N Roses
etc

these are all Great bands and in my opinion deserve all the kudos they get.
it is bands like these that you should be listening to. it is bands like these that influenced so many kids to start playing instrumnts. it is bands like these that keep rock alive! if they stopped rocking, then the busted fans would have their day, and rock would be no more, there would be no more expressing views through music like megadeth, it would all be CRAP!

THANKYOU

I finally figured out who busted are. I saw their video when I visited Ireland...pop punk at its finest I must say. Just curious...if you like Nirvana then you have to take back your 5 chord rule...but he didn't claim to be good. And also have you tabbed out all their songs? How do you know how many chords they have. For all you know the guitarist could be amazing but he could chose not to play very good. I don''t like the music but unless your in a band that is making money and touring then you have no room to talk...

I don't respect bands that change their music just to make money:

Good Charlotte
Motley Crew
Rob Zombie
that sorta deal

and please as a side note would people please stop using these damn "elite" abbreviations. It doesn't take very long to type out the actual word...and no your not cool by doing it

hmm....
....u mean a band like the one i am in?
a band which has passion, a band which is making money, a band which can........play.
i used to be in a "punk" band. i had to play crap like busted. so i think i know what i'm talking about when i say that they don't use many chords!
the band i'm in now is a kinda thrash metal band....that requires skill.

and why does a band have to be touring and making money before you have room to talk?

the reason i play the guitar and am in a band, isn't to make money, its to express myself. when playing music, you can make people feel how you are feeling. you can take them on a far away trip, yet they don't even move. if i could touch just one person emotionally with the music we play, it would all be worth the stress which sometimes comes with a band!!!!

I meant your really preachy. Who are you to judge what others like. As for my money comment, it was about their making money and a living at what their doing so they can't suck completely if people are buying their cd. Also I am in a band that plays quite frequently but doesn't have a reliable site (DAMN LACK OF FUNDS!). And I'm all about helping people escape their lives and just melt away in musical bliss. I love it when it happens to me and when I can give that to people. So all I'm saying is keep and open mind
