McBusted

Don't worry about it. Both "groups" have managed to duck under my radar. I can quite confidently say that I haven't heard a single thing from either of them and I hope not the hear anything from their ******* offspring.

It appears that most people on here are orientated by the music industry and records and just wondered if the majority thought, as I do, that McFly was better before the merger.

Sod it, I'll give you an actual, genuine, answer.

I believe that in this very specific instance you and I are on the same page. Prior to the merging of the two bands McFly had almost managed to shake off the 'boyband' tag completely as they had started just playing whatever they felt like rather than just doing it by the numbers. This was probably due to the age of the fan base that they had at the time (my other half being one, late twenties and loves them, explaining my own knowledge on the subject) and their own natural maturation as a band. They were less 'poppy' than when they began and had the ability to actually produce half-decent songs.

Busted never had this experience as their time at the 'top' was based on a few formulaic, yet catchy, tunes followed by a band split and everyone forgetting about them, barring the fact that one of them had massive eyebrows.

Now that they're one group it seems that the McFly half have brought themselves back down to the level of pre-split Busted, hence the rubbish songs and looking like they're too old to be in their own videos. I personally can only assume that it's due to Busted not knowing anything different and the McFly boys wanting to feel younger again.

But then, hey, what do I know?

(Bet you weren't expecting an answer like that were you?)

NSC will be a far better place now that your personal thoughts have been shared with everyone, on a dedicated thread about "McBusted" I just hope you get all the thanks that is deserved,

Sadly, not many people bother to express their opinions on important subjects like this, you have! so well done I am sure this thread will inspire others to do the same. in fact, already this has started people to ask questions................If Mcfly, Busted, Take That, Boyzone,and One Direction formed a boyband super group, would they be called, Takedirection,bustedflyboy.
