Why McBusted is a bad idea

No. Just no. What kind of inhumane monstrosity is this? Is this some kind of sick joke? How in the world are people jizzing their pants over a little bit of nostalgia? On Monday it was officially confirmed that McFly and Busted are teaming up to form the terribly named "McBusted". This so called "super group" is going to be touring the UK in April 2014.

There are so many things wrong with "McBusted" that I don't even know where to begin. Well firstly,
not all of the original Busted members are involved in this project. Charlie Simpson decided to save his soul by not getting involved in the band and you've gotta give him huge respect for this. Any musician that decides not to associate himself with what is clearly a money making scheme deserves a big pat on the back. May Charlie continue to do his thing for the love and not the money. Furthermore, why are people saying "OMGZ BUSTED ARE BACK TOGETHER!". Technically there not because not all 3 members are reunited (and plus McFly are involved). Busted are clearly the big appeal here seeing as they've been on hiatus for several years. Why do a tour when all 3 members aren't involved? People will be ripped off if they buy tickets to this travesty of an event.  

What on earth is up with that name as well? "McBusted" sounds like something that should be on a McDonald's food menu and not the name of a super group. The name pretty much sums up how little artistic thought has been put into this project. It's got money grabbing in big bold letters all over it. Music is all about bringing some kind of feeling out of a human: whether its a feeling of being entertained or a feeling of sadness. Sure McBusted may seem like an entertaining idea to a lot of people but haven't Busted and McFly seen better days?

This brings me nicely on to my next point: both bands enjoyed massive success during the 00's and a lot of people enjoyed their records. People who go to these gigs won't feel anywhere near as cheery compared to the first time they heard these songs. What happened in the past should be left in the past because usually, its nowhere near as enjoyable in the future. Some may argue "But it was my childhood!", don't let this deceive you. Have your child like self remain dead because their ghost won't like the fact that you've disturbed them with cheesy pop music.

Well.... this looks dumb.

So come on everyone, let's move on and look to the future. Let's discover some new artists and start a brand new musical revolution. Stop being selfish by living in the past and let new artists have a go in the spotlight. Busted and McFly had their turn several years ago so surely it's wrong for them to gain all of this mass attention. It's just greedy. New bands such as CHVRCHES and Haim have made fantastic records this year but they've gone completely under the radar thanks to bullshit such as this.

It's obvious what's going on here: Matt Willis got sick of eating kangaroo dick in the jungle, James Bourne stopped getting decent sums of royalty money from Busted and Son of Dork (one of the worst bands ever by the way) and McFly couldn't be arsed to nob about on reality TV anymore. So please people, don't give these media attention whores what they want by buying tickets to this tour. There desperation doesn't deserve your hard earned cash and the nostalgic feeling you'll be expecting won't be satisfactory. I guarantee you that anyone who goes to this tour will end up regretting it 5 years later. You have been warned.
