Busted’s best support acts?

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!

Thunderbirds film

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?!)

A post from earlier reminded me of this. Not alot of people knew about this one, this was before mcbusted, busted’s first appearance since they split. Loved this era, busted being woken up! Did you hear this when it dropped?

That Thing You Do

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

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

10 years exactly!

Today marks 10 years since the opening day of Pigs can Fly. I can not thank the band enough for the memories it has helped me create with my girls. Ten years ago I took my then 11 year old to see the band, and since then more memories been made with her including matching tattoos. Now to the point we have her little sister who just as Busted mad. I hope you get to continue with making these everlasting memories. I have attached some of our favourites.

Busted/ATL

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

vjscorpio.com

Does anyone remember the website 'vjscorpio.com' it had so many Busted videos, does anyone know if it's still possible to enter the website..? or find any archives from it?

Vs Tour/James & Tom

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?
