This is a Busted promotional video that was sent out to US radio DJs

Check it out!

I'll be uploading the performance and interview from this episode of TOTP Saturday to The Busted Archive Youtube channel before the end of this week if you guys are interested.
I've literally loved these guys since I was like 5 in 2002 so I've collected so much stuff over the years! My favourite being James' actual Vans which I bought from another fan. What cool Busted things do you guys have in your collections and did you guys grab any of the clothes James was selling a few years back? I remember someone I followed on Twitter bought the shirt he wore from the You Said No video too!

We all know that Night Driver is the black sheep of Busted's outings. They tried something new for the reunion, and while I enjoy many tracks from the album (I firmly believe Easy is one of the best Busted songs ever), I know it is unfairly looked down on by many, and almost ignored by the band because of its mixed reception compared to the first two albums, Half Way There, and GH2.0.

I recently made a post about the ultimate Busted setlist, and included alot of ND songs, but in the comments I spoke about the potential of them playing them with their current tour setup (ie live guitars with distortion and fuzz, full drum kit etc) and it got me thinking.

Would you like to see Busted go back to ND and incorporate their style into the songs? Maybe it could result in a more synth-rock style that was more apparent on Easy and one or two others, as opposed to the pure synthwave vibe the album had, or even opposed to the pop-punk style we know and love from them.

On What You're On with guitar solos instead of sax? hefty basslines and soaring guitars on Coming Home? Eddy's drum fills on New York and the title track? Could be something special.

Let me be clear, I love ND the way it is. I dont need the songs to change, this is just a fun thought experiment.

Interested to hear people's thoughts!

Hey guys so my Busted Manager recreation is now 95% done. I've included 2 minigames "Year 3000" and "Busted Pool" here are the main aspects of the gameplay:

• Manage all three members — Matt, James, and Charlie, each with their own stats, moods, and requests
• Real Tamagotchi-style decay — ignore them too long and they'll let you know about it
• 8 hands-on tasks — feed them, send them to bed, the gym, on dates, band practice, and more, each with fully animated walk-and-interact scenes

YEAR 3000

• Race the clock collecting CDs before time runs out
• 3 difficulty tiers from casual to brutal
• Persistent high scores — beat your best and the boys will let you know about it

BUSTED POOL

• Full 8-ball pool against Mattie, James, or Charlie
• Real Blackball rules — open table, colour calls, fouls, two-shot penalties, the lot
• Coin toss to decide the break, just like the real thing
• The boys taunt you every time you miss — or every time they pot one
