  1. There are just so many bands that I look at in the mainstream and go "how the hell are they able to be listened to me right now?"

    It's especially hard when you're in your own rock band trying to make it, because of course you're better than em' all
  2. ^ and I swear you are, even if I don't get to tell it to you so often in the Songs You've Written thread (which I'm sorry for)
  3. Thanks so much dude! As long as you're listening and will one day state your fandom if it ever comes to that and bring your friends along, that's all that matters
  4. Radioactive is a prime example of a pop song gone horribly wrong, and it was voted for (and won) 'Best Rock Song' at the Grammy's. They're not rock, they are shit-pop. The singer doesn't need to scream during the chorus, it's unnecessary. The music is totally all over the place. It's just incoherent. The band is a fucking shambles.

  5. But I should say we've put a total of 5 songs up now, so if you haven't listened, go do it! We're not getting any younger waiting for Edge!

  7. fook it im staying up
  8. In the meanwhile... I just came across this article:

    http://www.gigwise.com/photos/88230/13-massive-bands-that-dont-need-to-be-relevant-to-be-successful

    U2 are back, although it feels like they never went anywhere. They've always been a pretty constant presence in music, just by doing that 'U2' thing that they do - which is why we're surprised to hear Bono's new concerns about the band being 'on the verge of irrelevance'.
    There comes a point in the career of some bands, where relevance becomes, well...irrelevant. These are either the lucky few that become absolutely huge by carving out their own path an inimitable style, regardless of what the trends of the time dictate.
    When Bowie returned had he gone all dubstep? Luckily not. Did Foo Fighters ever record a Nu Metal album? Thank the Lord, no. Are you likely to see the burly bearded Elbow in a sexy hip magazine spread? We doubt that.

    Because being uncool doesn't stop you being huge.
  9. I missed something? Edge is going to be interviewed by Jo Whiley?
  11. already streaming How long to wait?
