Remember seeing this air many years ago, first exposure to the band. At the start of the song I remember thinking "that's Charlie from Busted's new band". By the end of the song I realised that this is now Charlie from Fightstar. Honestly, if this band had just arrived about 10 years earlier they'd have been huge. This genre of music was at its peak by the early 2000s. Very good music. And also, an incredibly brave move to leave a popular band like Busted who were dominating the charts at that time. A clear indication that for Charlie, all that money and fame was irrelevant compared to his drive to make the sort of music he felt inspired to make. Anyone that chooses passion over mainstream success deserves respect. Even more so considering he took a chunk of his earnings from being in Busted to fund Fightstars first EP.

Legit thinking the exact same thing, googled the thunderbirds theme song from the movie, went down the rabbit hole and I'm now here. Charlie is ballsy as fuck for leaving a chart topping boy band to join a heavier/non mainstream band AND using his money to find their EP. Legend

What I've always loved about this performance is they were all clearly just really starting out as Fightstar and, despite Charlie being in Busted, they were all still pretty green. Both the vocals suffered, but most notably Alex, because nerves would have been kicking in real hard going from a small platform to a stage on a TV show. I think it's just amazing to watch this video and see how far they've come.

@joshhanson6538 4 жыл бұрын

I also think this was their first TV appearance and about a month after their first ever gig. This would have been around January or February 2005 just before the release of the EP so Charlie would just have been 19 which I think is awesome that he was able deliver powerful vocal performances like this at such a young age.

@AverageJoe117 i remember in an interview with Charlie, he said that in Palanuik's book (i dont know which one) he says canned laughter that you hear on TV was recorded way back in the 30's (and so are many sound effects like the Wilhelm scream) and the people recorded are probably all dead now. So when you watch a sitcom, you hear the laughter of the dead. that is Palanuik's Laughter. Deep stuff.

@Rob-pg7zx 6 жыл бұрын

I remeber watching this on tv. I thought they sounded great. But I was genuinely embarrassed for them because Friday Night Project audience would never be able to understand or comprehend this type of music. Like a pop band playing at a metal concert. That's why the audience were so taken aback.

I went to one of their first ever gigs. I was 19 at the time and stoned off my face. All I remember is it was overly loud, the guitarist could not harmonise and there was ALOT of confused and upset Busted t shirt wearing young girls. Probably the most bizarre gig I've ever seen. A few years later I got the chance to go see them again and they had improved a billions times over. I think back in the early days of Fightstar Charlie had this mindset of got so much to prove and so many minds to change that he went a bit too full throttle. When they shed the Charlie from Busted's new band title and just could be fightstar and nothing else they got so much better. Tip my hat to them really because I was there when they got bottled at Reading and in the crowd when they came back and rocked the fuck out of the place.

@@jamesconnor2499 Bottles, food pretty much anything anyone could throw far enough to reach them. I remember a dog shit bag go over my head. I can't say for sure if it was shit in the bag but it had something in it. Unfortunately this kind of thing happens, especially to bands who haven't been around for a while. I've seen it happen to Panic at the Disco and I thought that was particularly harsh because they literally looked like kids up on the stage. I also saw it happen to 50 cent at Reading, which was kind of understandable as it would be like putting the Spice Girls on to headline Download fest, but that was the worst I've ever seen. I genuinely thought that there was going to be a riot. He came on and you couldn't hear a word the guy was saying because of the boos. Rocks, bottles, chairs all sorts being thrown but the bit that really got the crowd pissed was when 50 cents 'band' started throwing it all back. I've seen it happen to Nickleback but to be fair they deserved it because let's be honest Nickleback are shit. Any other questions mate and I'll be happy to answer 🙂
