I saw the band in the 90’s at the Star Club in Nelson Wales, what a great wild night, i don’t know if it was you or a predecessor playing sax on his back while being past around the crowd, i spent plenty of visits to back of the stage to re- plug in cables that night, i know the band did a second show there a while after ,sadly i missed that one as i was working.
@@martinotoole9959 not half mate. Am gigging with them in Germany, Poland & Czechoslovakia in June, so there’ll undoubtedly be more tales for the memoir!!

Buster Bloodvessel is such a character. His hotel was called "Fatty Towers" that catered for overweight people. At his peak he weighed 430 pounds but had a gastric operation some years ago so he could lose weight. Good to hear he's still going strong. 👍
How glad am I that you guys found this!!! I chose this song for a music group I belong to as a track from my childhood. The lead singer in the white suit is Buster Bloodvessel and he had a hotel for overweight people called Fatty Towers which served huge breakfasts! It's only half an hour from me, and I met him once while on a day out, he is such a great guy ❤️
You guys really missed out growing up in the U.K. in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s. We had so much diversity, talent and downright good music over here. We were very lucky indeed.
In about 2001 I shared a flight with them, London to Sydney 21 hours, I’ve never had so much fun or been so drunk, they were touring Australia and gave me tickets to all their gigs even though I could only get to a couple of them. Grew up listening to them in the eighties, what a brilliant bunch of guys.
I could not click fast enough to watch this !!! Great reaction guys, once heard and seen never forgotten . Lip up fatty~ear worm 😝 This is what the world needs right now, SKA, fun, happy make you smile music✨
Great band, I remember when Bad Manners performed Special Brew on Top of the Pops and Buster Bloodvessel was sat in a rocking chair surrounded by cans of Special Brew 😁
I think the joint was called gold diggers where they filmed top of the pops, my brothers lung callapsed and his mate with no driving licence drove him to malmsbury hospital/Chippenham,not sure as I was prob 7 yrs old at time🤣🤣🤣👍
omg i just watched it, it's brilliant! I was a little kid when it was released and it started a cancan craze at my primary school. We really thought it was a brand new dance!
@@infamyinfamy I was in my final year at primary school when this came out. You're right, we had a disco every other Friday & for about a year we always did the can-can to Bad Manners. Happy days!
My sister and I drove my parents mad playing this and jumping around in our bedroom in the early 80s. Then we caught my dad whistling it in the car, and we wet ourselves!! Classic! Thanks for taking me back to my youth😀
Bad Manners is the band. The singer is Buster Bloodvessel. True story! Quite a bit of Ska about in the early 80s. Try some Madness, Baggy Trousers is their classic. Bed and Breakfast Man is one of my favourites, or Niight Boat To Cairo. Other than that The Specials Ghost Town.
Night Boat To Cairo, yes. I would also add Too Nice To Talk To by The Beat (Or the English Beat as they are known in the US), and as for The Specials, my favourite track by them is Gangsters.
He used to own a run down hotel in Margate and my football team (Fulham) played them in the FA Cup. We didn’t stay there but he had an all night party the night before, he was such a great guy, his barman hung weights from his testicles, Buster shaved off the hair of anyone daft enough to agree, we left at 4am. It’s fair to say, one of the best nights of my life.
As was I. He was supposed to have ridden around the pitch on a camel before the start of the game , bit unfortunately this didn't occur. Still got the game on video, Sky Sports coming to you live from Hartsdown Park. Oh what days !
@@paulhollett7183 Fantastic, I remember chatting Nasty Nick who went onto Big Brother sometime after! A very surreal night. I do remember Buster doing cartwheels on the pitch before the game.
Saw them a few years ago, there were lots of bands on that day and evening, when Bad Manners came on all the middle aged men all jumped up and started dancing, was brilliant
You finally got round to Bad Manners! Just for a couple of minutes there I was eleven again. The sound of my youth in all its glory. Loved that you guys enjoyed it as much as I did, back in the day. Thankyou both very muchly. 😎👍👍
Please,please me please react to Ian Dury and the Blockheads seriously a wonderful London funk song. No laughing a classic song. Hit me with your rhythm stick. Wonderful, Wonderful
I saw Bad Manners at a regional festival in UK circa 2004 I was already a fan of theirs. On that day his stage was in full sun and he was the 3pm act, I thought he was going to expire - he kept up that dance pace for the entire set Awesome!
I suggest The Specials - Ghost Town, it perfectly sums up the despair of the young in the summer of 1981, it was released after the Riots that went on in several UK cities during thre Summer of 1981 To. I remember going through Moss Side in Manchester, it literally was a bombed out Ghost Town.......................it's a summer I remember well. The first disturbances began in Brixton over the weekend of 10-12 April 1981, and were followed in July by a series of similar disturbances in more than 35 cities and towns, especially Liverpool. In London, these included Dalston, Stoke Newington, Clapham, Hounslow and Acton
Great reaction to a really fun song. Bad Manners were the party band of the British ska revival, along with early Madness, whereas other bands (particularly The Specials) usually had a serious message in their lyrics. There are a couple of big British ska bands you haven't reacted to yet ; The Beat (known as The English Beat in the US) and The Selecter.
The legendary Buster Bloodvessel , saw them live at Doncaster Racecourse around 1984. He did the show in a grass skirt and as we discovered when he mooned us, no underwear....I couldn't eat onion rings for weeks after !
this was my youth. madness, bad manners, the jam and so many more. Chaotic, aggressive and just brilliant. I feel so sorry for my 11 year old kids. I know I sound old saying this but music now is just soulless
You guys have given me a new appreciation of Bad manners. I remember them as a 7 year old but it’s only now I am really enjoying this song. It’s only taken me 42 years. 😂 I’ve been playing this all week. I now love it. 😂 I’m gonna search out some more of their songs. Thanks guys. 😊
Loved this one chaps… those first few seconds of your reaction are priceless… the music has you smiling from the outset, and then the camera pans back revealing Buster Bloodvessel and you just fold in laughter - absolutely love it. Happy music full of happy energy.
The guy has amazing stamina. They seem to be constantly touring all over the world because they are a beloved band and amazing live energy . They do go over to the states sometimes because I remember seeing a gig date in Florida a few years back. Samson and Delilah is one of my favourites.
I've had the pleasure of buying Buster a beer in Baltimore. He in turn, bought me one . Just him and I talking about football ( soccer). A class class. And Bad Manners are ALWAYS AWESOME!
I saw them a couple of years ago at a festival I was working at, ended up on stage with them. Buster is one of the nicest guys in music, always wanted to stay at Fatty Towers and try one of his breakfasts
Brings back great memories as a kid i also could'nt get the song out my head and sung it for years...Buster Bloodvessel was a larger than life guy. He had a party trick where he would crush a pork pie into a large jar of pickled onions then he would down it like a pint of lager...
I remember skipping school school to go and watch Buster and the boys record the video for ' Walking in the Sunshine' . He loved hearing that when I finally got to meet the legend in Belfast after an unbelievable gig. Definitely a band to make you dance and smile😁😁.
Check out "Special Brew", a love song devoted to the strongest beer commonly available. Buster was famous for his excesses, and his energy is probably chemically enhanced. There was a LOT of amphetamine washing around at that time.
Best reaction yet 🤣 this has been an everlasting soundtrack in my head since I was a kid. May not be politically correct but "lip up fatty" plays in my head whenever I see an alarmingly large person walking the streets 😆😆 quality ska track too, no way can you not stomp go this. Glad you enjoyed 😉
Two hail Mary's four our father's. That is what I got for thinking your way! You have put me on a new way of looking at people, my beautiful wicked Ms Nancy!
I saw them live at a stag do about 10 years ago and they ain't changed !! I don't think I've been to a wedding in the UK where a Bad manners tune hasn't been played by the end of the night !!!! Long live Buster B and his famous big tongue!!!!
Kudos for reacting to this Buster Bloodvessel (Doug Trendle) are without doubt one of the best Live bands I’ve ever seen perform, remarkable musicians, great people with amazing energy and an incredible sense of humour, lucky to have met them a few times when they played a venue I used to manage and they would do a small warm up gig that I could have sold out several times! Great memories great guys great band!
Bad manners were experts at doingcovers. Tomy recollectionthey covered Deep Purple's black night, Lou Bega's mambo no 5 and their song 'you fat bastard' provided the main loop behind wyclef john and the rock's it' doesn't matter!
Great to see you enjoying Buster Bloodvessel and Bad Manners so much. A great part of the Ska scene when I was growing up. I once asked the DJ for Bad Manners Can Can at a dinner dance and was the only one that danced lol Great fun
They are a class band! Check out their love song to beer called Special brew! And also check out another ska band called the beat and a song called ranking full stop 😁 ska is my jam man!
There's a member of Bad Manners, Nick Welsh who performs under the name King Hammond, absolutely brilliant. He worked on the Lee Scratch Perry Jamaican ET album that won a Grammy. Very English references, Monkey Boots, Rockin on Ridley Road (a market in Hackney) and a very nice chap.
My best friend Mr Paul Cave (Cavey) passed away a couple of years ago. We were both SKA fans. We carried Cavey down the isle on our shoulders at the crem to Lip Up Fatty dancing as we went. Best send off I have ever seen.
I love them! I love him! They have so many good ones but if you want to really see his energy you should check.out their cover of ... The Can Can!! Yup, a Ska band covering a traditional french dance.
I saw 'Buster Bloodvessel' when I lived in Brixton in 1983, and I went to see Bad Manners. I didn't see anything unusual about performances like this. We used to dance like that, in those days. Buster's still alive at the age of 63, something which wasn't always certain. In early 2001, he fell seriously ill during a concert in Perugia (Italy), but recovered. He struggled with morbid obesity and underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in 2004, with his weight dropping from 31 stone (196.86 kg; 434 lbs) to 13 stone (82.6 kg; 182 lbs). He once owned a hotel in Margate called 'Fatty Towers', which specifically catered for larger customers, with features such as extra large beds and baths as well as fatty meals. What a life!
I saw Bad Manners one time. They did a club show where I live back in 1992. Absolutely brilliant. Pork pie hats,pencil ties,winkle picker shoes,lager everywhere on the floor and Buster bouncing around the stage. Happy days. 😃👍
The unstoppable force of nature that is Buster Bloodvessel! 🤣 Such a great tune, haven't heard that for such a long time, thanks for a hilarious reaction boys 👍😆. Agree with others about the Can Can 🤣
Inner London Violence is my favourite Bad Manners tune. I met Buster at The Pelican Club in Aberdeen Scotland in 1991. He’s a lovely fella. Still touring too. Although, he’s slimmed down but still likes the crowd to shout “you fat bastard” at him.
I saw bad manners live at a real ale festival in Chichester. It was carnage but massive fun. I remember my friend buying a barrel of ale for her birthday party, it was called ginger twat which she found increasingly funny as the night went on. 🤣
Still going strong..... saw him at the globe in Cardiff in 2013 ..... great gig .... he's much smaller ... he had a gastric bypass and went from 30 to 13 stones
As this song was first released in 1980 or thereabouts it means that it's older than both of you, doesn't it? As both of your reactions were so impromptu and natural can you even imagine what it was like for us Brits when we first saw and heard this well over 40 years ago? It was great for us to see and experience because Buster Bloodvessel and the rest of Bad Manners lifted our spirits especially during the 1980's under that old witch Thatcher. They were the even funnier version of Madness and the complete opposite of The Specials musically speaking. Most of the young - and not so young - loved reggae, ska, Two Tone etc because their music brought all of us together to party and to lift everyone's morale - it was the total opposite and a complete counteraction of what Maggie T and all of her miserable Toffee-Nosed Tory Tw@t party-pooper cronies intended. You should also bear in mind that this was even before Culture Club arrived on the scene in 1982 and I well remember the collective meltdowns that went on amongst all of those conservatives when they first clapped eyes on Boy George when we all saw him singing on Top Of The Pops and performing " Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? " when it reached number 1 in the charts. It was just glorious to behold. Thanks to those fantastic musicians and performers from all those years ago and thanks to both of you for your hilarious reaction to seeing Bad Manners especially with Buster Bloodvessel in 'his white jumpsuit'. It's quite funny considering that neither of you were quite sure which was the band's name or what the title of their song was at the start of your video, were you? So can we all expect you both to have brain-worms with this particular song and its performance for the next 40+ years or so? I certainly hope so!! :-)
Had the pleasure of seeing both Bad Manners and Madness at the same concert, not sure if it was at city hall Newcastle, it was electric, fun and we danced our asses off, good days man. Also saw The Specials, Fun Boy Three, and Bananrama, class days.
I saw them at the Hexagon in Reading (Uk) years ago 😁 I was stood right by the speaker stack and couldn't hear for a month after 🤣🤣😂😂 Buster Bloodvessel , Legend
My friend got this band in his club about 12 years after this came out, when they saw his sound system they said …we only need our instruments here…..when they came out on stage they were well drunk, what a great show they put on….the sax player was playing while being passed around on his back in the crowd, i spent most of the show going back and for to the connection block on the stage re plugging their leads in cos the were so lively they kept pulling em out.
Iam form England went to Dallas for boxing see bad manners in local bar 😂😂 my family from London know the band lead singer dougie triddle is me brother in law is his mate and my wife went to school with him very good band still touring , love you guys 🙏
I’m crying laughing with you😂 I love Bad Manners, they’re mental. Was dancing to Lip Up Fatty just yesterday in the car whilst trying to concentrate on driving. Not easy! Love your reactions ❤
Didnt read all the comments so in case no ones told you, lip up fatty means its your turn to get the drinks in ! Before they were famous, theyd take turns to go to the off license for beers ( usually carlsberg special brew ) strong stuff, and whomevers turn it was theyd just look n say lip up fatty ! The song special brew is homage to carly special !
So glad you liked this, the guys name is Buster Bloodvessel, such a great singer and amazing energy. It reminds me of happy times n London in th early 80's as a kid; after Bad Manners came out , the overweight boys in school shaved their heads and became cool, EVERY class had a mini Buster! bless em. Happy times, happy musc and a perfect example that music should be about the sounds and the feelings it evokes and not how 'boringly perfect' the band looks x
I’ve been playing sax with Bad Manners off & on for around 14 years & Doug (Buster) is a bona fide living fucking legend ❤️
I saw the band in the 90’s at the Star Club in Nelson Wales, what a great wild night, i don’t know if it was you or a predecessor playing sax on his back while being past around the crowd, i spent plenty of visits to back of the stage to re- plug in cables that night, i know the band did a second show there a while after ,sadly i missed that one as i was working.
I met Tony a while back busking and had a really nice chat with him to say I was taken aback when he said he played guitar for Bad Manners was amazing
I bet you can tell some stories !!

Was in Margate literally 2 minute walk from my house. Saw them play here last year
I remember seeing him on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, he'd lost a lot of weight.
Off to see them on 22nd April! Fantastic live band!

You need to check out The Specials- Monkey Man or Poor Little Rich Girl or The Selecter- On My Radio. The Ska revival was huge in the UK early 80's.
The Beat were my favourite. Mirror in the Bathroom, Hands off she's mine, Doors of your heart.
It started in the late 70s
I love monkey man...
@@MM-76 I'm aware of that but the momentum was at its height at the start of the 80's off the back of punk. I was born in 65, my childhood growing up.
Love ska, and the mix.
Bad Manners is the band. The singer is Buster Bloodvessel. True story!
Quite a bit of Ska about in the early 80s. Try some Madness, Baggy Trousers is their classic. Bed and Breakfast Man is one of my favourites, or Niight Boat To Cairo.
Other than that The Specials Ghost Town.
Specials Monkey Man as well! I love the Toots and the Maytals original version as well ❤💛💚
Specials. Ghost town is special.
Ghost Town will be forever linked with Father Ted for me..
Buster's real name is Doug Trendle and he's a top top bloke.
Night Boat To Cairo, yes. I would also add Too Nice To Talk To by The Beat (Or the English Beat as they are known in the US), and as for The Specials, my favourite track by them is Gangsters.

'Do Nothing' as well, that song could have been written yesterday.

Similar experience. Unfortunately I live on the wrong side of the Atlantic so I don't count on seeing them again.
That makes me very sad.
Buster Bloodvessel is still fronting Bad Manners to this day. I saw them live a couple of years ago and they were amazing!
One of the best experience is when your a young rebel and you hear your first ske band. Whether selecta, specials, bad manners.
PRICELESS.
Guys you need to see him when doing can can. He's amazing. Such energy.
It's a magic tune!
Reminds me of my youth! Play this at a party when there have been a few gallons consumed...

I love your reactions. You’re definitely my favourites. But wasn’t this just joyful? I’m 76 and still loving Bad Manners, this has made my day.
Glad you loved it guys, went to see them in a small club on Christmas Eve 3 years ago. Let me tell you they've still got it. Buster is a legend!
BRIT SKA ….my teen’s right there ,….. so much fun great records … seen them a couple of years ago … and they are still touring … a fantastic night
Somebody get this man some Madness, stat. also, Bad manners after a skin full down the pub... on a Tuesday, quality.
Bad manners! Class!
The singers name is Buster bloodvessel. He always looks like he's just about to.
He's lost loads of weight last time I saw him he had a snazzy leopard print jacket on looking snazzy
They are a class band! Check out their love song to beer called Special brew! And also check out another ska band called the beat and a song called ranking full stop 😁 ska is my jam man!
Met Buster a few times in my youth, he's such a lovely man and one of the best bands I've seen. Such a great energy at their gigs.
There's a member of Bad Manners, Nick Welsh who performs under the name King Hammond, absolutely brilliant. He worked on the Lee Scratch Perry Jamaican ET album that won a Grammy. Very English references, Monkey Boots, Rockin on Ridley Road (a market in Hackney) and a very nice chap.
My best friend Mr Paul Cave (Cavey) passed away a couple of years ago. We were both SKA fans. We carried Cavey down the isle on our shoulders at the crem to Lip Up Fatty dancing as we went. Best send off I have ever seen.
Brilliant, you guys really cheered me up :)
Loved watching your reaction it was brilliant .One of mine and hubby,s favourite songs from Bad Manners .
I love them! I love him! They have so many good ones but if you want to really see his energy you should check.out their cover of ... The Can Can!! Yup, a Ska band covering a traditional french dance.
I saw 'Buster Bloodvessel' when I lived in Brixton in 1983, and I went to see Bad Manners. I didn't see anything unusual about performances like this. We used to dance like that, in those days.
Buster's still alive at the age of 63, something which wasn't always certain. In early 2001, he fell seriously ill during a concert in Perugia (Italy), but recovered. He struggled with morbid obesity and underwent laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery in 2004, with his weight dropping from 31 stone (196.86 kg; 434 lbs) to 13 stone (82.6 kg; 182 lbs).
He once owned a hotel in Margate called 'Fatty Towers', which specifically catered for larger customers, with features such as extra large beds and baths as well as fatty meals.
What a life!
Bad Manners are currently doing a UK tour.
They're in Manchester soon, can't wait
Bad Manners are amazing, your reaction is the best ever! Knew you'd love it.
Admission. I'm old enough to remember that being released and them appearing on Top of the Pops (TOTP) a very popular music programme.
Still one my favorite band live bands. Saw them last year and they've still got it. You should watch a more recent live set. 👌
I saw Bad Manners one time. They did a club show where I live back in 1992. Absolutely brilliant. Pork pie hats,pencil ties,winkle picker shoes,lager everywhere on the floor and Buster bouncing around the stage. Happy days. 😃👍
The unstoppable force of nature that is Buster Bloodvessel! 🤣 Such a great tune, haven't heard that for such a long time, thanks for a hilarious reaction boys 👍😆. Agree with others about the Can Can 🤣
Inner London Violence is my favourite Bad Manners tune. I met Buster at The Pelican Club in Aberdeen Scotland in 1991. He’s a lovely fella. Still touring too. Although, he’s slimmed down but still likes the crowd to shout “you fat bastard” at him.
I saw bad manners live at a real ale festival in Chichester. It was carnage but massive fun. I remember my friend buying a barrel of ale for her birthday party, it was called ginger twat which she found increasingly funny as the night went on. 🤣
Still going strong..... saw him at the globe in Cardiff in 2013 ..... great gig .... he's much smaller ... he had a gastric bypass and went from 30 to 13 stones
As this song was first released in 1980 or thereabouts it means that it's older than both of you, doesn't it? As both of your reactions were so impromptu and natural can you even imagine what it was like for us Brits when we first saw and heard this well over 40 years ago? It was great for us to see and experience because Buster Bloodvessel and the rest of Bad Manners lifted our spirits especially during the 1980's under that old witch Thatcher.
They were the even funnier version of Madness and the complete opposite of The Specials musically speaking. Most of the young - and not so young - loved reggae, ska, Two Tone etc because their music brought all of us together to party and to lift everyone's morale - it was the total opposite and a complete counteraction of what Maggie T and all of her miserable Toffee-Nosed Tory Tw@t party-pooper cronies intended.
You should also bear in mind that this was even before Culture Club arrived on the scene in 1982 and I well remember the collective meltdowns that went on amongst all of those conservatives when they first clapped eyes on Boy George when we all saw him singing on Top Of The Pops and performing " Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? " when it reached number 1 in the charts. It was just glorious to behold.
Thanks to those fantastic musicians and performers from all those years ago and thanks to both of you for your hilarious reaction to seeing Bad Manners especially with Buster Bloodvessel in 'his white jumpsuit'. It's quite funny considering that neither of you were quite sure which was the band's name or what the title of their song was at the start of your video, were you? So can we all expect you both to have brain-worms with this particular song and its performance for the next 40+ years or so? I certainly hope so!! :-)
I haven't heard Bad Manners in decades, thanks for reacting to this
I heard this on college radio as a kid and saw photos of Buster years later . It made it all even more special .
So much bad manners to listen to. London has a unique sound. It’s amazing
Saw these guys at my local club in Ipswich. A brilliant night, such an entertaining band!
Had the pleasure of seeing both Bad Manners and Madness at the same concert, not sure if it was at city hall Newcastle, it was electric, fun and we danced our asses off, good days man. Also saw The Specials, Fun Boy Three, and Bananrama, class days.
Guys if you loved this then you'll definitely love seeing the TWO RONNIES doing BAD HABITS.
I saw them at the Hexagon in Reading (Uk) years ago 😁 I was stood right by the speaker stack and couldn't hear for a month after 🤣🤣😂😂 Buster Bloodvessel , Legend
They are headlining our music festival on Saturday night this summer , can't wait.
Buster Bloodvessel is an absolute hero of British Ska! There’s nobody else quite like him!
That's what u call music back in the day i was 15 when this came out.
You've excelled yourselves with this one lads🤩
This was the first single I bought on vinyl. Loved Bad Manners
My friend got this band in his club about 12 years after this came out, when they saw his sound system they said …we only need our instruments here…..when they came out on stage they were well drunk, what a great show they put on….the sax player was playing while being passed around on his back in the crowd, i spent most of the show going back and for to the connection block on the stage re plugging their leads in cos the were so lively they kept pulling em out.
He could drink 2 Pints of Cooking Oil in one go and this was done on Childrens TV On a Saturday morning live in the early 1980`s.
So much fun to see live.
Winston Bazoomies on harmonica… absolute legend..
I only bought a few CDs as a kid, and you've reminded me that for some reason, I had the Bad Manners album with this song! :D
Iam form England went to Dallas for boxing see bad manners in local bar 😂😂 my family from London know the band lead singer dougie triddle is me brother in law is his mate and my wife went to school with him very good band still touring , love you guys 🙏
Doug and the boys (all of you) thank you.
"Don't call me Fat Man"_ I'm dying 😅😅😅😅😅
so glad you loved bad manners, this is a real memory of my childhood, you're getting better exposure to us Brits than the kids of the UK are.
Wonderful reaction to a wonderful song/band fellas.
Seen Bad Manners love a few times and always a great gig!
Love your reaction vids. Two good bros.
I’m crying laughing with you😂 I love Bad Manners, they’re mental. Was dancing to Lip Up Fatty just yesterday in the car whilst trying to concentrate on driving. Not easy! Love your reactions ❤
You need to listen to Lorraine as well if you haven’t already.
You guys should react to them doing the " can can" it was a big hit for them in the UK in the early 80's 😂😂
Didnt read all the comments so in case no ones told you, lip up fatty means its your turn to get the drinks in ! Before they were famous, theyd take turns to go to the off license for beers ( usually carlsberg special brew ) strong stuff, and whomevers turn it was theyd just look n say lip up fatty ! The song special brew is homage to carly special !
So glad you liked this, the guys name is Buster Bloodvessel, such a great singer and amazing energy. It reminds me of happy times n London in th early 80's as a kid; after Bad Manners came out , the overweight boys in school shaved their heads and became cool, EVERY class had a mini Buster! bless em. Happy times, happy musc and a perfect example that music should be about the sounds and the feelings it evokes and not how 'boringly perfect' the band looks x
