[schlampeOFdeath]

sad to see that bands like thekillers doin same but without serious intention to create unique feelin in subculture. ay phil, whereu@?

[BillyHutchinsonmusic]

well.... its not my place to say something on the net that im not sure about...so i wont but yeah they should have been pretty big..

[BillyHutchinsonmusic]

the singer is my uncle..., hes still writeing.. im only young but i think they should have been bigger than they were....

[22ndWave]

@BillyHutchinsonmusic Hehe. Ask your uncle exactly why 'Scary Thieves' weren't more successful. There was kind of a scandal about the whole thing. You're right though. Good band.

[BillyHutchinsonmusic]

@22ndWave ....................events happend and they split up... they were a good band.

but well SEX, DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL... killed many band in that part of time...

[22ndWave]

@BillyHutchinsonmusic Yes. A very good band but sleeping with the executive producer's girlfriend probably wasn't a great decision. A massive shame because Scary Thieves might have been the next Duran Duran.

Oh my. I was there. That has just taken me right back to my Scary Thieves days. :-O

superb band, great singer, brilliant drummer, love the Simmons drums -MEGA!... what happened to them, they should be huge??!! shame about the out-of-tune guitar... sack the guitarist... satin trousers.... nice.....

[eiffe]

@clocksarebigmachines not exactly. Listen to the studio recording, the guitar is out of key there as well, likely not by accident. If you listen to their material you'll notice the guitar work is actually quite amazing!!
