Yes, yes, yes. More Fightstar please. I remember when this song first came out, I couldn't believe it was one of the guys from Busted, but I'll be damned if he and this band didn't absolutely blow my mind and go on to become one of my favourite bands of all time. They're so atmospheric and good it's kept me a huge fan for the 15 or so years since.
Yep that's Charlie Simpson from Busted. Fightstar are actually the reason Busted broke up. Charlie formed the band in 2003 while he was still in Busted as he was feeling creatively and musically unfulfilled by Busted's pop sound. He wanted to write more heavy, rockier stuff so he quit the band so he could focus on Fightstar full-time. This was Fightstar's first release and it came out the same month that Busted's breakup was announced.
It's what the song Why is about from the second album. Charlie wrote that about not wanting to be in a TRL band any more. He wanted to write real music.
As this is one of the first songs from Fightstar, I think it's heavily influenced by Chuck Palahniuk, who is the writer of the "fight club" club book, which later on came the movie Fight Club with Brad Pitt on it... I guess the name comes after this movie too... It's a great band, they've got a big influence in sci-fi (Blade Runner for example) and anime like Dragon Ball or Neon Genesis Evangelion... I could name songs about em heh
Loved it from the first beat! As I have said numerous times...I love me a good harmony and this one delivers on that as well as aggressiveness! SOLD 🎤🤘😊!! PS never heard of the band, Busted....did I miss something?
@@infin8reactions Oh, okay...thanks for saving me from wasting minutes of my life 🤣🤣🤣 love Sum 41 tho 🤣🤣🤣 Did you ever get the Ashes to New issue resolved with YT?
Phew that's one soul saved 🤣🤣🤣 I've not checked to be honest, I've been busy doing reactions 😁, I'll email them tomorrow and see if they will compromise 🤣🤣
@@daphned.7489 yeah and nothing surprises me with Liam, he's arrogant and a bit stupid 🤣🤣 that was actually tame compared to some of the things I've seen him do and say 🤣🤣🤣
@@infin8reactions they'd combined forces with McFly to become McBusted ( one of the guys from McFly wrote songs for both bands) but that had finished. GUNSHIP were sort of a side project at first - they use 80s style synths & drums, but modern recording techniques. They're now one of the Synthwave bands up there with Carpenter Brut and Peturbator.
@@infin8reactions Charlie went solo after fightstar, made his own music.. something like english folk music (i think this is when he became a dad for the first time) then he contacted busted (james and matt) and talked about making a new more adult album with some pop from early days at busted... I guess he missed the old days as he grow up there. He abbandoned busted mainly because they were being advertised as boybands... and I think he wanted to give em a chance again without the big companies being on them like demons. I couldn't follow him back to their new albums at busted.. It just didn't feel right but I understand his decision. He's also contributed in a song with Gunship guys (Alex and Dan). I'm not sure what he will do in future but Gunship is really the thing right now!!
@@blidosawr Busted are taking a break for a bit, and in the meantime Charlie is apparently making another solo album, according to Matt. Matt's gone back to drama school and James is also making a solo album. I hope Charlie finds the time to slip in a new Fightstar album during the break

I’ve loved fightstar for years but I never get over how amazing Omar Abidi is on the drums!!
Yeah he's a great drummer 😁
He was also amazing in that Argos Christmas advert lol
Yes he is fantastic. One of my all time favourite songs this and the drumming for me really does it. Perfect
@@joshhanson6538 LMFAO that comment proper made me LOL hahaha
@@skateboardsrule06 happy to provide laughs for ya lol
That snare is everything as well. That ring cuts through everything.

Thanks for the insight Josh, and for the patreon request, it was a cool song for sure, a lot better than busted in my opinion 😁🤘

No Daphne no, you missed nothing... Don't do it 🤣🤣🤣
Fighstar is a million times better, busted is an English sum 41 wannabe group 🤣🤣🤣
@@infin8reactions Oh, okay...thanks for saving me from wasting minutes of my life 🤣🤣🤣 love Sum 41 tho 🤣🤣🤣

@@infin8reactions I've crossed my fingers and toes for you/ATN....not my eyes, tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣Good luck!
Did you check out the link I sent you?

I *think* it's like, yanno, Chuck Palahnuik. Fight Club
You should check out GUNSHIP - it's basically Fightstar after Charlie went back to Busted, but they do Synthwave, and they're bl**dy brilliant.
Charlie went back to busted???... I bet that was an awkward conversation 😂😂
