No idea about you guys - but there’s a few PRESIDENT songs I tend to think “this definitely could have been from those Busted sessions with Jordan Fish” like RAGE and the new one just dropped, Doom Loop.
PRESIDENT just seems like all different genres, I do wonder if Charlie adopted some of these, or took lyrics from the tracks the Busted label wasn’t into.
Going by the tours I’ve been, how would you rate the best support Busted have ever took on tour?
A Present for Everyone tour: McFly & V
It seems everybody forgot V was a support on this tour too? A proper boyband…same management as Busted
Pigs Can Fly tour: Emma Blackery and Wheatus (my personal favourite)
Night Driver tour: Natives (good band)
Half Way There tour: The Xcerts, Young Brando, Brigade and Holy Good (surprised Charlie’s brothers band Brigade was a support, them and The Xcerts good solid bands)
2.0 tour: Hanson, New Hope Club and The Tyne (Hanson had a few decent songs other than Mmmbop, The Tyne were decent)
Vs tour: McFly (sorry I just had too) 😂😂😂
Plus, did anyone support them for when they toured the first album? I never knew!
Watching them back it was great to see the guys having fun doing a music video again (Nineties, Shipwrecked in Atlantis, Radio) seeing Charlie dressed as a woman again too I remember him saying it didn’t take much persuading to do (always thought it was one of the dislikes from Busted for him the music vids)
Would have really liked a video for Reunion, make it WIGTSF vibes like the beginning of the Nineties video, school reunion even have an appearance from Lorna (Miss McKenzie)
Makes me happy when I see James comment on Instagram posts - good to see he’s been well enough to go the movies 🙌🏻
Get better soon JB 🙏🏻🤞🏻
So I haven’t watched this film all the way through in a while, I usually skip to the ending to hear the Busted theme song 😂 but I’m ill and decided to watch it all the way through today, not sure if it’s because I’m high on meds but it wasn’t too bad 😅 anyone else think so too? (P.s how moody does Charlie look on the cover art?!)
Hi
Does anybody know how long a mandatory consideration on PIP takes? Was knocked back for it as the form said the assessor says “he could look me in the eyes”
I was confused as it was a phone call? I called up to request a reconsideration and they said they could do it over the phone, just need to send evidence off (the same stuff I already have for my tremors and MRI appointment and my back operation waiting list ready, and gallbladder removal operation letter)
It’s just a step back, and more waiting around
Thanks for any help you can give me
Who remembers? All the Busted and McFly lads sound awesome
Looking forward to this way
Get well soon JB 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Came up on my memories
James’ on the piano, Charlie’s voice 🔥 love when they are both together, after putting differences aside when they became friends again and with Matt, reformed Busted. Some chemistry right there.

I laugh at this when I came across it when it first came out the 2.0 version, Charlie saying he’s been a ATL fan since the start and then Alex mentioning he helped on a few McBusted tracks and met the guys
I always think Alex looked at this and thought “who the f*** is Charlie?” 😅
I know Alex was born in Essex, anyone know if he knew Busted? Unsure when he left England to be raised in America
Should have had a 2.0 version in my opinion, this or the Falling For You 2.0 I could have seen Mark Hoppus on
Surprised Mark wasn’t on it with working with McBusted, also having featured as a guest and a co-writer on McFly’s last two albums. I’m guessing Mark is only really friends with McFly (probably Dougie?) or if Busted were recording he may have been going through chemotherapy (stoked he beat cancer’s ass!) would have love to see him do something with the boys one day
Going through a lot of old JB Instagram posts, laughed at this 😅😂
Get well soon JB 🙏🏻
I always thought if the band had reformed for The Big Reunion, they wouldn’t be here still today, that surely would have been a one off thing. And I couldn’t have seen Charlie doing that around his then-current solo stuff.

It’s a given if James had been well enough him and Tom would have a set together like Charlie/Danny, Matt/Dougie, Eddy/Harry did
Would Beautiful Girls are the Loneliest been the one performed or would it have been a Busted-McFly mash up?
I saw this screenshot and thought I'd share. How did Matt think he was more qualified to be in the band over Tom who could actually play? 😂 Don't get me wrong, I like Matt. But you can't say "kick tom out the band. He doesn't fit the image", then proceed to pretend to play bass for the first half of your career because you find it hard to play and sing at the same time..then you have tom that could do both and play multiple instruments
Who thought Matt & Charlie did a great job doing Busted songs with the sad exception of James during the Vs tour?
Came across this from years back Crashed the Wedding just with Matt and James
Which version was better
Matt/James on this version or Matt/Charlie during the Vs tour?
I often wonder, do you think Matt, James or Charlie pop onto Reddit and find a Busted page, and have a read at it? Just comes to me now and then and makes me laugh…we give James’ our best wishes in posts about him, and we share our love/dislike to certain Busted albums/tracks
It’s actually really fun connecting with you all, I try my best lately to update on here and keep the Busted spirit alive during an hiatus 👊🏻

I’m used to seeing Charlie without a smile 😅
Can’t help but feel the Vs tour missed a trick not having a few dates in smaller football/cricket grounds
Or even Busted’s summer dates last summer, do you think they could do well headlining a stadium alone the scale of Southampton’s?
*not counting Busted supporting Ed Sheeran at Ipswich
I attended this, BBC Summer Social in Liverpool
So good to have been able to hear MIA live when it wasn’t part of the Half Way There tour earlier

I love when they drop a surprise in the artist during summer shows
