Busted 'Split For Good'

Busted are on the verge of splitting up for good, reports Ananova. Frontman Charlie Simpson, 19, has made it clear to bandmates Matt Jay and James Bourne that he wants out. The trio have not spoken to each other since their last gig at Wembley three weeks ago.

The group, together for two years, are now preparing a summit to discuss how to handle the break-up. Both Matt and James are said to be devastated at the news and have begged Charlie to reconsider. But he is about to go on a two-month tour with his rock group Fightstar - and wants to quit.

A source said: "Things are so bad between the boy at the moment that they all realise a split is inevitable. Charlie has never really hung out with Matt or James. None of them are close, you have to remember the band were put together."

[Torico]

W00t, now if only the rest of the manufactured shite could follow.

[jamie-dm]

we should revlot against manafactuerd crud
:fight: :fight: :fight:

[slash is god]

Busted suck but I heard fightstar and was blown away.

They are straight up modern hard rock with great riffs and sound a million miles from busted.

[kryptonite22]

I feel sorry for Fightstar, you just know they're gonna get marketed as the new Busted. Publicity for the wrong reasons. Ah, Busted were funny. Oh well.

[Hazelnut]

hey i liked busted but was goin off em yeah hes neva gna lose his busted roots ppl arnt just gna 4get bout em

[boxcarblink41]

GOD NO NOT BUSTED! WE LUV YOU BUSTED, U'LL FOREVER B IN OUR HEARTS!!!! SHUT ^ BUSTED H8ERS, YOUR JUST JELOUS COS YOU LISTEN 2 CRAP MUSIK PUNK 4EVA!

[guitardude72565]

^^^I hope you're kidding.

[Cameo]

They are. They listen to the Beatles.

Meh, whatever. They never made it to america anyhow.

[unknownalone]

man i think imma go cry now...sniff...yea not actually, good for them, on breaking up and stuff..hells yea!

[Twisty]

that has jst made my day. is it me or does charlie have really big eyebrows

[scottish]

YYYYEEE..SSS..!!!.. best news so far in 2005 miming assholes with no real talent. three cord shit yess sooo stoked

[lb_guitarist12]

i never really listened to them but its stll gotta suck for ny band breakin up. i fell bad for those two guys who begged him to stay. he just ruined it for them and he has to live with it.

[Fishboy]

yeehaw
finaly they are gone!!!

[BrandNew_Uk]

Hmm, i wonder what fightstar will be like. Even if they are good, people will still hate it for the fact he was in Busted. Charlie Simpson is trying to turn emo to pop with his new band. Thing is, he will be seen as a sell out from those he is trying to appeal to, then his new music may be too hardcore for his kiddie pop fans. He's dug his own grave really. Shame, he shoulda stuck at Busted, at least he was making the cash.

[DisgruntledDuck]

Good ole Charlie, i knew his plan would work...he was the mole, bringing the Busted regime down from the inside...superb. Here's to Charlie's musical integrity i guess.

[acrocks]

sweet but now every teenage girl in britain are gonna shoot themselves

[seafooodpistone]

busted suct ass.even malaysian bands r so much better than them.good thing they broke up.one of rock's viruses has been terminated!!!yes!!

[rich_sg]

GOD NO NOT BUSTED! WE LUV YOU BUSTED, U'LL FOREVER B IN OUR HEARTS!!!! SHUT ^ BUSTED H8ERS, YOUR JUST JELOUS COS YOU LISTEN 2 CRAP MUSIK PUNK 4EVA!

a) Busted werent punk, they were pop punk
b) Led Zeppelin, Metallica, GnR, Muse etc hardly fall under the categogy of crap c) We dont love busted, a small minority of this forum does

[PhoenixSurvivor]

yays, at last, nice one Charlie.

[AdamJonesWanabe]

I guess I'm glad i live in the US so we didnt get Busted...i downloaded "what i go 2 skool 4" and it was a very, how to put this, craptacular song.

[Wartoad]

YES!!! What a great day this is! Have been waiting for this for a fu"king eternity... Well guys, now we are just waiting for OZONE to spilt up.. Or die..

[pop princess]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I found that out yesterday but its the icing on the cake that it is for definate.
I loathe busted
Damn those manafactured bands

[audiorapist]

God stupid busted...and their crappy gay little punk pop rock shite. I can't believe they're labelled as "Rockers" sometimes...just makes me cringe. I have more respect for caterpillar eyebrows now though

[mr_johnny_lee]

Aww, isn't it a shame? Is it f**k?!

[mr_johnny_lee]

I've just noticed that there's nothing but relief of their split, not surprising to be honest.

[Scourge441]

One less pop-punk band to worry about. Hallelujah.

Now if the entire genre would just die...

[zakk_wylde1904]

i agree tht it is good cos they were gettin on my nerves. however they were gettin much better towards the end of their career.
hope the moody 1 has gd career with his new band bt bit of gay name, Fightstar? lol gud on him tho i say

[pagemonkey]

this is gonna be the best day of the year until 15th january

[downhillbattler]

They weren't pop-punk they were just pop. That was an ignorant thing to say as well... not all pop-punk is bad...

Anyway, this is good news, the 2 guys apart from charlie suck, and charlie isn't that great either... w00t!

[Abe]

uhh, i bet his new band also sucks and its a big mistake on his part. No big personal loss though.

[The Bat]

Cool, cool, cool...hopefuly that silly ''McFly'' group will follow in their footsteps pretty soon, this manufactured pop-wannabe rock stuff is p***ing me off, and they pretend to write their own materiel, yeah right!! even if they did its still nuthin to boast about!!!

[just some guy]

they apparently never got famous in the U.S.

I heard one of their songs, but I had to look for it because I seemed to always see people bashing them on here...and yes...it was so commercial it gave me a nosebleed.

[GoodCharloteSux]

thank goodness

[ctb]

ITS SAFE TO WATCH SATURDAY MORNING KIDDIES SHOWS NOW YAY!

I'm with you on that

[Kearnsarosa]

I love the fact that loads of you said that this little piece of news has made ur day...some said year even. You must lead very sheltered lives. When it came down to it those 3 were the stars that you would all love to be. Yes u wanna play better more rock orientated music but they had it all, the money, the girls, the fame and for that i commend them. They were put together but still wrote their own songs (yes i know they were shit songs.) But probably better than anyone else here could write.
I dont understand why ur all so bothered not like u were being forced to listen to them...yet u all seemed to do so...secret fans all wanting to admit you loved them but no one willing to speak out the truth.

[joyful womble]

damn...

[Frying_nemo08]

YAY

[whatsername101]

yayyy.. busted sucs
finally sumfin 2 look 4ward 2

[clazz]

Charlie has never really hung out with Matt or James. None of them are close, you have to remember the band were put together.

May I just point out that that is the biggest pile of crap ever? So is the rest of it, to be honest. But they've been best friends for years, they got together way before they were even looking to be signed. These 'sources' are just attention-seeking losers looking for easy money by selling sh*t like that.

If you really want to know what's happening, yes, they are taking a break. What all the news stories have missed out is the reason for taking a break - they're writing the new album. Charlie, meanwhile, is taking advantage of the situation by touring with Fightstar, and that's why there's rumours in the first place.

Anyway, there's a press conference and then it'll be confirmed as to whether they are splitting or not.

[clazz]

shotgunjoe:

Mine's two inches. : Why are you all so bothered about Busted? They're far better than the manufactured crap out there, and if you think Busted are manufactured then you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I've been a fan since the start and I know full well that they're not.

[nirvanafan11111]

hahaha busted freak lol i mean i thought good charlotte were an insult to punk music but busted really are an insult to ALL music.

[On Neptune]

oh thank the lord!!!

[yertletheturtle]

Shit! They were awesome!

[joyless_toaster]

busted- they were just like u guys here, 3 guys with guitars that wanted to be famous and now their days over and theyve opened up a market for many more wannabee rockstars to join it.

[Xeus]

yea, poor fightstar, they might be good (i havent heard them yet, any links?) but people wil hate them for charlie

i respect him for moving to a less popular band that makes decent music he likes rather than being in a popular manufactured band that's very devided in liking and makes shit music

or is this all manufactured crap and he'll be coming back? i sure hope not, we cant have the music industry trying to be WWE

[cspin]

What a friggin relief. They were probably the worst group in history. I'm sure that they were the only ones who were morse worse than Good Charlotte or Simple Plan. There were a pop trendfag boy band except they play instruments, however they failed in music horribly. Hearing the first four notes of one of their songs just made me sick.All of their songs were completely retarted... In short, I'm glad they're dead. But one thing that confused me. Why the hell they would be on a guitar site?

Agreed.

[Thania]

Why do you guys really hate them? I mean, if you don't like them, don't listen to them. Isn't it simple? If you hate someone, just don't listen to the, They haven't done anything to you, just bringing out their music. They are just 3 guys, that happen to bring out their music that's more pop.. What's the big deal? They are great. They are awesome. Don't listen to them, or rant them, because you DON'T HAVE to listen to them. You see them on TV, shut the TV off, you hear them on the radio, shut off the radio, hear someone sing their song, go away from that person. And for me personally... I love them, and I know that this must be a rumour, cos they never wanted to split without telling the fans first. We didn't hear this from them just from sources

[ad_lib_oz]

Dang...Cough.

[Evil Noodle]

I searched for some Fightstar music, i can't find any =( But yeah, Busted splitting up is good news, i'm not too fond of their pop-crap...Stupid sods...

[Vinura]

hah!

one less punk band

[Crookedjon]

Unlike GnR or Led Zeppelin which weren't?

Correct me, if I'm wrong... but weren't Led Zeppelin brought together by Jimmy Page in a natural and fairly uncommercial way (John Bonham was being offered more money in his previous band than early Zep)?

Busted are truly busted...like my joke :P

[8dmsguitar]

Woohoo. For all you asking why we hate them so much its because thanks to them there's been a whole new generation of pop-punk-poser motherf'uckers created and they'll be hard to erase.. we just need guns. Lots of guns. And maybe some candy.

[cspin]

and popcorn

[VANILLAICERAWKS]

Honestly I think their first album was a pure pop boyband-ish album, but their second album was a pop-punk, pop-rock album.


Busted > Simple Plan

[clazz]

I realised earlier how much their singles haven't done them justice. If you listened to their albums, some of the unreleased tracks are absolutely incredible.

[technocheese]

this is all bullshit.... i bet in a years time they will do a "busted reunited tour". its just a ***ing con to make money.

[mrbassman]

fightstar eh pretty catchy riff

[andrewv]

I do agree with clazz, their unreleased tracks had a deeper meaning than released ones which is a shame. But I dont understand why people read this bands news page just to say that they are a created 'fake' band in which they werent!!! If u dont like the band, dont read their news!!!
