Mark Posted 26 September 2004 Share Posted 26 September 2004 http://www.purevolume.com/funeralforafriend Does anybody else like this band from South Wales? The only decent British band i can think of, I cant understand how unknown they still are compared to the shite i have to put up with on Radio 1 every day Actually more well known in America, and that just shows how shockingly bad the music scene is over here. Listen to Juneau at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted 27 September 2004 Share Posted 27 September 2004 They are shit and quite well known if you ask me. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 27 September 2004 Author Share Posted 27 September 2004 They are shit and quite well known if you ask me. :wacko: 22484[/snapback] Not compared to bands of nastiness like Libertines, Franz, Razorlight all that bollocks. But i suppose most people are stuck in the world of them bands now cause of all the promotion they got, so it must to hard for you to adjust to more talented bands.

They may be more talented musicians than The Libertines, but in my opinion show nowhere near the emotion. As for me not being able to adjust to what is fed to me, with respect mate you don't know what you are talking about. My CD collections contains many unheard of and even unsigned bands and I listen to a wide range of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted 27 September 2004 Share Posted 27 September 2004 Well I'm sure I've seen some of their songs in the charts... 22495[/snapback] There album charted aswell. They got a lot of play on MTV2 and inches in Music Magazines like NME (spits), they headlined the second stage at Reading this year too. They have had a lot of exposure whichever way you look at it.

Mark Posted 27 September 2004 Author Share Posted 27 September 2004 My point is there have got nowhere near the amount of exposure all the similar sounding bands have that i listed. They do show emotion, in their lyrics and they have probably worked a lot harder than some of the bands i'm hearing everyday on Radio. I know they are quite popular, but in my opinion they are 10 times better than Lost Prophets and look at them going places! I dont mind either bands personally, i'm glad Lost Prophets made it but original bands (they are compared to whats popular these days!) like FFAF should be getting more exposure than the likes of Zutons, Thirteen Senses (Feeder in disguise?) or whatever.

TrickyTrev Posted 27 September 2004 Share Posted 27 September 2004 Why should they? They have a limited appeal. Only people who like that kind of screamo/emo thing will get into them. The Zutons make Pop music, it has a much wider appeal. I actually hate their lyrics, nothing worse than pompus imagery. Thats my taste, I like it a little straighter than they give it. I din't say they didn't show emotion, just that they don't show emotion in the way the Libertines do. I listen to their music and it doe snot evoke any other repsonse other than annoyance. Just an opinion. This hard owkring thing. What is that about? Every signed band, bar commercial pop trash, work their socks off on their band otherwise they would not have got signed. It's a bit like saying you would rather have Trev upfront than Ferdinand because he tries harder, firstly it is not true and secondly it is deluded. Lost Prophets have a very different appeal to Funeral For a Friend, they are a lot more commercially accessable, doesn't mean they are better, just means they will sell more records.

rotherhamfox Posted 28 September 2004 Share Posted 28 September 2004 As i've told Mark on numerous occasions i like the music but really can't be doing with the screaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted 30 September 2004 Share Posted 30 September 2004 Petrescu, in 5/6 years time when you've shagged a few birds and realised life is quite good in all reality, you will have moved on from this angst ridden lame Limp Bizkit/Linkin Park/FFAF shite and it will all be forgotten. Music is only as good as the memories it boxes so it will always hold some emotional tie, but music like the Zutons, Razorlight, Libertines, Kasabian is more popular cause there are more people who aren't 13-17 and going through puberty like the majority of the fans of Lost Prophets and Funeral for A friend. As for Feeder & Thirteen Senses, they are indeed shite I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted 30 September 2004 Author Share Posted 30 September 2004 How dare you compare FFAF to Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, that really was hiliarous Dunc. And i am far from their biggest fans, they are just the only decent band we have to offer nowadays. I'm 19, i know what is good music so wrong again for thinking i was younger.

Dunc Posted 30 September 2004 Share Posted 30 September 2004 well I can argue the point you know what good music is but I won't. Its all subjective, but I think all that nu-metal, nu-punk, nu-bollocks is all shite. I've not heard anything that I like out of it. And I still say most fans of said genre's are adolescents going through some emotional crisis, or emotionally challenged adults who read Kerrang and Metal Hammer, who probably still play Role Playing games and wank over the power of Mordor.

Mark Posted 30 September 2004 Author Share Posted 30 September 2004 Thats because you only hear whats on tv, and i have to agree that the crap on tv does nothing but make people like you think its shit. Nu Metal is horrible. I dont watch Kerrang, i think its an shocking channel, Scuzz and Mtv2 for me now and then. I never play Role Playing Games, never in my life. So we have a few things in common. I'm sorry to have to keep proving you wrong! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted 30 September 2004 Share Posted 30 September 2004 well you aren't really cause I never accused you of doing those things, I think its clear with the use of the word MOST that i agreed that there are people who just like the crap music for no particular reason. I suppose if I was being pedantic only 51% of nu-whatever fans would have to be adolescents going through some emotional crisis, or emotionally challenged adults who read Kerrang and Metal Hammer, who probably still play Role Playing games and wank over the power of Mordor to prove me right. But deep down we both know its more than 51%, and you haven't denied sordid thoughts about Mordor so thats obviously true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topfox Posted 30 September 2004 Share Posted 30 September 2004 I quite like Funeral for a Friend and they are really cool guys, but there just seem's to be a bit in every song which I think just let's the song down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted 30 September 2004 Share Posted 30 September 2004 That bit that lets the song down is the 'start' and it usually continues for about 3/4 minutes til the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
