  • Charlie is a right prick now-.-

  • "I could still punch him. And I haven't warmed to Dan" lol amstell you legend

  • I love simon he spoke his mind!:-)

  • "for keeps, definitely"

  • jeez dan just takes the piss throughout the hole interview...

  • Just listen to her talking about silverchair like she just generally knows who they are...

  • Love fightstar, love Simon Amstell and Charlie Simpson is a legend, but the bassist (Dan) seems like he can't take joking around and needs to loosen up a bit more

  • charlie's hat :3 <3

  • I love simon in this! charlie thinks he's such a big fucking rock star now, its embarassing

  • @tommydivi111 go listen to charlie simpson down down down. He still does non rock.

  • Gotta admire Amstell here lmao..

  • that cracked me up so must! nice but i think charlies where he always wanted to be :) Busted were cool tho! has to be sed. Fightstar are AWESOME tho:D

  • simon good luck trying to hit charlie, charlie would so kick his ass!!!

  • i cant watch this! i need to remember BUSTED as how i remember them :')

  • most akward interview ever. painfully akward

  • It Looked Soo Awkward When They Kept Bringing Up Busted :L

  • "what you live in a box? whats the matter with you?"

    "No..I think probebly just a very different box to you man"

    haha Dan is a fuckin ledge. Both those presenters are fuckin air heads. So awkward.

  • .. "it's not crash the wedding but.."

  • "what about who's david?"

    "who's david?"

  • Dan seems like a prick! And Charlie seems so out of place in this interview not like the ones he had with busted, the busted interviews seemed so much more chilled and fun!

  • Fightstar are amazing and Dan's attitude is fine, if some prick of a presenter was acting like that i would of dropped him.

  • will you shut up about Busted! they broke up 6 years ago, bloody well get over it. Charlie is not going back! He's not in it for fame, he's playing the music he loves. Why watch Fightstar if you want them to break up? Have some respect for Charlie, poor guy gets so much shit even after 6 years. 

  • Comment removed

  • @mysha67 haha good luck that with that.

  • You people have to remember this was a long time ago when Fightstar was still fresh as a band and still getting a lot talk about the Busted thing. Dan's not exactly the snobbish type he probably just felt a bit awkward being on a pop show. As for Charlie, despite what most people may believe he's not ashamed of his time in Busted or the music they made he's just moved on. The thing here was that he was still trying to distance himself from that band.

  • I was thinking of giving fightstar a go, but I'm not so sure now. That Dan guy seems really stuck up, and it's sad cos Charlie seems embarrassed that he was ever apart of busted. I miss busted... :(((

  • You can tell Dan is the sort of person who has the "rock music is better than pop music" attitude. Music snob.

  • i love charlies laugh :D its so cute

  • fightstar is freaking awesome end of story

  • Fine* but he has to remember that Fightstar are probably successful minorly due to Charlie's fame beforehand. Busted's split was all over the news about how he was leaving to join a rockband. Hence, ex Busted fans and rock fans would check the new music out. Plus, Charlie's past is not something he can get away from. To a LOT of people he will always be 'the guy from Busted who left to join a different band'. Shame really, because he is talented and if Fightstar is where his heart lies, he shou

  • I've never given Fightstar a chance but that Dan's attitude makes me want to not bother. So does Charlie's tbh. I think if he didn't want to be in Busted anymore that's fine because they would have gone downhill and lost fans. So he made the right choice to leave when he did. However, he's acting as if he was embarrassed about his time with Busted - when it's a part of his life he should always be proud of. He also said something about the audience not just being teenage girls now, which is fin

  • CHARLIE IS HOT IN THIS <3

  • i think simon in this is pretty funny.

    "Don't forget where you come from, Simpson, it's on dvd!" <--- loving that.

    Love you Fightstar!!

  • Ugh i hate that Dan guy -_-

  • @VixieSaz Dan Is a legend :D

  • If you are a musician or have any understanding of music composition at all, you will realise that Fightstar's music requires talent, skill, passion and creativity amongst other things.

    Charlie moved genres because he felt unsatisfied with Busted's obviously boring, mainstream, repetitive shit that meant nothing. That is completely understandable.

    He sacrificed his mainstream popularity and exposure as well as much more money so that he could play good music instead, music that he actually en

  • @danutd94 these guys are so pretensious. No one forced Charlie to be in Busted he was there of his own free will, raking in the cash. Lets get one thing sraight, it is bloody hard to write a good pop song and James Bourne wrote 2 albums full of brilliant ones. Charlie went from being in an incredibly good pop band (Busted) to a middle of the road , fairly boring rock band (fightstar)

    If he wasnt happy in Busted he was right to move, but please leave off with the snobbery :/

  • Dan should kick that fuckers ass!

  • I love how Miquita apologizes to Simon for referencing music!

  • Seriously, that interview was awful. That guy, Dan - who does he think he is? Did he seriously think that Charlie would not get asked questions about Busted? Charlie wasn't so good at answering the questions, he could have handled it better, but was there really a point in the other guy being there? He didn't seem like he wanted to be.

  • charlie ,, take off your hat! , i want to see your hair! <3

  • oh god the interviewers love pissing charlie off about busted and I wouldnt blame him

  • "...he's with Natalie Imbruglia. She sang 'Torn.' I'm part of it!"

    How can someone not love Simon?

  • god that guys annoying, i would have ripped his face off way before 3 minutes

  • Well its not crashed the wedding!

  • fightstar are shit and i hate them....whos that guy charlies sitting next to? the right cock with no sense of humour.

  • @jakechitty1 He's arguably the best bassist in modern day rock.

  • hah lots of screaming thats debatably on of Fightstars tamest songs

  • Dan is so pissed. He looks like an asshole.

  • i think you should both watch your backs

    but i feel good xD

  • Charlie Simpson done the best thing ever when he left busted :)!

    Dont get me wrong ... i was a HUGE busted fan but im a bigger fightstar fan :)

  • "we've all moved on"??? the presenters are disgusted with fightstar and are quite bitter to dan , in previous interviews with busted, they loved them.

  • CHALIRE:@, i loved him, i LOVED him! busted, you split them up you bitch! and how ever much i hate you for that, i will always love you, i still have all my busted items in my room, may busted go on foreer</3

  • charlie's crazy. he forgot where he started ???????

  • charlie u r a fucking prik y did u leave busted

  • Though he said it in a joky way, it's true. Don't forget.

    She sounds upset when she hears the 'I don't really think about it' and when she says 'They've all moved on Simon.

  • He dresses and just generally looks different in fight star. I liked his old look better, without the moustache and with his betterlooking clothes :3 I think charlie's just acting cold cos i think he might feel he's being judged by dan and i think it's upsetting for him to think about busted.

    Lol 'Don't pretend you don't know where you come from, Simpson!"

  • the guy with the frizzy hair (i'm assuming he was once part of busted) is so uncool it's not even funny. And Dan just sits there going 'who the fuck is this freak?'

    Fightstar are legends.

  • @dasoundengineer actually thats simon amstell...i think thats his name:L hes a comedian not part of busted your fucking idiot....besides fightstar are shit.

  • Charlie does act like a huge douche in this, i had been watching a busted video, and decided to look at this. i have honestly never given fightstar a chance, and his attitude isnt helping :P

  • Ugh! This interview would make most Busted fans HATE Charlie because of how he acts. It makes ME want to hate him and I've loved him and James and Matt since I was like eight or so. "I don't really think about it much" He is aware that most of his fans even TRIED listening to Fightstar is because they knew it was Charlie's new band. But whatever floats his boat. You make it hard, but I still love ya Charlie.

  • So at the same time Simpson was playin in Busted he would go home and listen to Machine Head and Sepultura...for metal fans that is fucked up!

  • not really so what he likes that sort of music :)

  • busted are good but fightstar are on a whole new level of awesome!!!!!!!

  • is it true busted wana get back together all except charlie

  • no there arent cause cause they wanted to be remembered as busted with the 3

  • no..sadly..mat said he would never work with james ever again for his own idiotic reasons...ugh he bothers me. HUGE busted fan..but fightstar is...is..LOVE.

  • FightStar should not be known for Charlie - the guy who split up Busted.

  • I forgot how unhappy dan looked in this vid poor kid lol gooood times

  • Busted 1st band i ever liked the reason Busted are now gay cause is cause Fightstar are amazing

  • All of Fightstars music is great, having said that, Grand Unification is still their best yet.

  • busted are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooo much better

  • @ jedwardfan579

    firstly, you're so wrong i could argue with you all day.

    secondly, you like jedward? go die in a hole :D

    and... you like jedward so i doubt you're even old enough to read this.

  • Comment removed

  • @Tarttelinknot666 I could not disagree more. each album has been consistantly good, all three get the 9/10 from me.

  • FIGHTSTAR ARE SHIT NOW

  • Hahahaa. Genius. Simon owned Charlie in that. (:

  • @Chloelovesvintage

    busted were shit, and they're gone now. get over it. he has!

  • as much as i agree about amstells interviewing, it is his job and what people want to hear is about what happened with busted, as much as i would love to think the general population cared about fightstar, they dont, they got what they wanted to hear

  • The narrative is non-linear, involving several flashbacks, and two primary narrators: Mr. Amstell and Oliver "Miquita" Dean. The show opens in 1801, with Mr. Busted arriving at Fighststar, a grand house on the Yorkshire moors that he rents from the surly, brooding, unsociable Amstell, master of nearby Popworld .

  • Busted guy is treated rudely, and coldly by Amstell, but must stay overnight at Popworld after being attacked by a savage dog of the Heights and entrapped by the weather. The housekeeper cautiously takes him to a chamber but warns him to not speak to Amstell about where he is sleeping, for he would get in deep trouble.

  • dan was definetely about to smash amstell...lol what a wank interview

  • Dan looks pissed off - all they talked about was busted!

  • probably cause busted is over pahahaha get over it fighstar is where hes better in

  • WTF's wrong with Charlie?! He just doesn't care about Busted at all!! James and Matt was and is always like Busted was amazing and we're really good friends and stuff. Charlie's just acting like Busted was some kind of rubbish children band! That's the main reason i hate him. Not that he left Busted, but that he isn't grateful he had the opportunity of being in such an amazing band!!

  • no offence Busted were a rubbish childrens band lol. its pretty clear that was never the music charlie intended to be make or be part of. im sure he just wanted to forget about that part of his life now hes doing what he really wants.

  • Well, it might wasn't what he wanted to do, and i respect that, but he should be glad he was in Busted, 'cause not many people ever gets an opertunity to do the things they did. Like playing in some of the UK's biggest arenas and do a television show on MTV..

  • True...and all that stuff is a massive deal but im guessing it doesnt mean much to him cos theyre probably not what he considers as his achievements. busted got to do all those things cos they were steered in the right direction through clever marketing and help writing songs so they produced a certain sound...at least even if fightstar play small venues and clubs and have a relatively small fanbase he can say they got all that cos of music he made (not music he was manufactured to make)

  • Maybe they got some help with marketing, but all the songwriting was by them, tom fletcher and some few other guys once in a while. They didn't just get fans because of their music, but also because of their great voices and performances.

    And i still think he wouldn't be where he is today if it wasn't for busted. Many fightstar fans is originally busted fans.

  • @3450supersild However I also think Chaz was a bit overly defensive towards the beginnings of Fightstar in an attempt to shed himself of what would be a stigma in the rock scene. Hence the slight coldness towards the Busted era and an EP title like "They Liked You Better When You Were Dead". Now that Fightstar is recognized as a really brilliant rock piece he's comfortable enough to release slightly poppier tracks like Mercury Summer, Never Change and Give Me the Sky :) lol sorry for the essay

  • he thought he was a different type of idiot

  • @3450supersild Charlie doesn't think Busted were "rubbish", if he did he NEVER would have been a part of that. In fact he's mentioned elsewhere he's rather proud of what he did with Busted from a pop perspective. He's grateful for the time he had with them but realized when it was time for him to move on. It would have been unhealthy for him, James and Matt to stay with Busted and be miserable, when they could all move on and be happy with solo careers.

  • @brighteratnight i totally agree and eveyone should stop blaming him and yes i miss busted but all the boys are happy here they are at now

    matt= has a family is a DJ

    james=solo career

    charlie=fightstar

    all is well :0

  • can this band get any worse? at least busted were funny

  • they DEFINITELY got help with marketing....and i know they wrote all their songs but they were asked by their label to write a certain type of album - who knows what they wrote that got rejected ?

    busted were a boyband. im sure people who liked them liked their music, but good looks played a big part of the appeal as well.

    their used to be many fightstar fans who were busted fans but i think youll find if you go to gigs now that its not really the case anymore (90% are guys lol)

  • oh you funkin hate his guts do you? that's nice, princesssmurf19.

  • HAHAHA, the situation would've been the same! he met the rest of fightstar through his girlfriend - so the band would have formed anyway.

    and seeing as from the beginning of fightstar they deliberately tried to stay out of the spotlight, he wanted to have success as fightstar, not 'that guy who was in busted's new band'.

  • Dan looked so pissed off whenever Busted were mentioned, hahaha.

  • Charlie was a two-faced idiot for doing that to Busted. I mean who joins a band you don't like? Someone else could of taken his place if he didn't audition. I prefer Busted over Fightstar, but still like Fightstar and good on him for doing what he wants to..But should have done it in the first place. But he still legend.

  • out over it...geese. chill

  • Yea actually Tom from McFly was in Busted for a short time. But I am glad the was kicked out cos I find McFly to be better :D

  • okay... well he joined busted after seeing an ad in NME magazine, so he obviously didn't think he would be making such shit. and the whole busted thing was obviously a joke for him, as he was late for wembly as he was recording fightstar songs. so after he realised he REALLY hated it, he left.

    anyway, get over it :)

  • you don't understand this interview.

  • love fightstar though.

  • I could punch him!

  • Charlie seems really ashamed of being in Busted. But he was obviously just using busted to get famous. If he had just changed taste in music then fine, but you can tell Charlie never liked being in Busted in the first place, yet he was two faced and pretended to like them for money and fame until a better offer came along.

  • lol he joined busted because he saw an ad in NME magazine, so he was obv into rock/alternative before he even joined. and i wouldn't say he used them to get famous seeing as as soon as fightstar were his top priority he did everything he could to stay out of the media.

  • what an awkward interview

  • I dont really like Fightstar

  • FIGHTSTAR FOR LIFE WHOS WITH ME HAHA :)

  • Well he doesn't have to feel ashamed. But I would too. Personally I think Busted are shite. The songs were catchy and stuff but they weren't actually good songs. Fightstar are class!

  • charlie seems ashamed of busted

  • @popstarlol209 He is

  • @popstarlol209 and so he should be

  • Charlie Made the right decesion, he grew up, moving to fightstar aswm band, he just didn't want to entertain kids any more.

  • god everyone just calm down!!!!! fucking hell!!!!!!!!!

  • Fightstar is a good band. Busted was also really good. And I think that if Charlie wasn't happy in Busted it wasn't fair for him to stay in it and he should of joined Fightstar. But I hate the way Charlie acts as if he is ashamed of his Busted heritage and that he is superior to that kind of music or whatever. He needs to grow up.

  • FIGHTSTAR FUCKING ROCK.

  • Comment removed

  • He's a man now, relax ;) It's rock, get used to it.

  • LOL I thought that part where Simon asks Charlie what it was that he didn't like about the whole pop thing and suggests it was James' face was hilarious :P

  • Ok, seriously? I like(d) Busted, I like Fightstar. There's nothing wrong with that. But to come onto a Fightstar video whinging about what an asshole Charlie is for breaking up your precious popband is ridiculous. James and Matt are happy with their new projects too. Would you rather Charlie have stuck around being miserable, playing shows without his heart in it? Its ok to be sad and miss Busted, but dont be dicks and focus senseless hate on Charlie. Its insanely immature.

  • Fightstar is actually one of the best bands out there. I don't really no how i found out about him seeing how the band is not very known in North America but they're freaking good. There album Be Human is one of the best albums i listened to.

  • charlies a wanker, ' i dont know who the fuck david is '' '' i tend not to think about that anymore '' WHAT ?! think aabout what started him off with god knows how many number ones :S?! omg hes a prick

  • he could eat you

  • yeap...it was busted really which made him famous...

  • his mate is a ming and charlie luks like a nerdy fisherman gimp i mean is one.

  • theyll never ever ever be as good as busted too many grudges and theyre shit i fucin hate charlie!

  • ooohh haha they so look like they could be brothers.. but charlie is gorgeous :) not to mention his amazing voice :)

  • i love fightstar. one of my favourite bands. and they all generally seem pretty cool...

    but why's dan being such a dickhead here?!?!

    Simon's a comedian and he's just tryin to have a laugh but dan's just takin everything so seriously it's like whaaaaaaaat!!

    if u can't laugh at urself, there's no point going on popworld!

  • I do prefer Busted to FIghtstar, but Waste a moment has a great ring to it!

  • Charlie is a douche. And his shoe is untied.

  • woop woop fightstar rock saw them last night :):):):):)

  • The interview seemed a little akward, just me?

  • if i had the chance to make mainstream music AND have a side project o WHATEVER , in this case metal or hardcore idontknowwhat i'd tottally do both! btw busted could've matured to become a great rock band. AND charlie could have done both busted and fightstar. oh and yeah dan bviously was unconfortible to go to a pop show.

  • lol! busted could not have matured to a great rock band, noone wouldve taken them seriously, it would just be impossible!

  • FFS!

    fightstar are great nd i loved busted more than everything but it not going 2 happen

    :(

    hopeage

  • i'm sure people really miss busted, but you know, charlie has a new band now, and its a great band, with musics that, in my opinion, are even better than busteds songs. you guys just have to accepted it and get over it. let the guy do what the fuck he wants with his life ! :)

  • i dont believe that people r still talking about busted. they were a great band dont get me wrong its just they finished a long time ago get over it!

  • yeah, it was James' face, Simon XD

    I absolutely love Busted, but i like Fightstar, too. the way I see it, if Busted had kept on (as much as i'd have liked that) then there wouldn't be Fightstar, or Son Of Dork, and .. well... thats it. lol

    but yeah.

  • Does anyone know where to buy a cap like the one Charlie is wearing?

  • there's a shop outside cyberdog in camden london, unless ur american i dunno

  • Hi.

    Thanks for answering my comment about where i can buy the white and black cap, that charlie was wearing.

    I live in Denmark, but will come to England soon, so if you could give a little more information about the store, where it is exactly and if it has a homepage on the internet, it would be really great!

    Cheers

  • join a reggae band... X) lol

  • lol fightstar has never been as big as busted - I have never seen a video with them or heard their song in the radio - while busted was all over the place. Not a big fan of busted.. just saying

  • Their songs get played on the radio...And their videos get played. They're just different genres I guess, so they get played on different stations.

  • Not where I'm from.. Don't think most people know about them here..

    but then again, were I'm from, the music come month after it came out in America and Uk.. and some don't even get here.. or maybe it's because I don't really listen to this kind of music;)

  • im a really big fan of busted! but i love fightstar! and i think it was a good thing busted ended because they wrote great songs but i dont think they could have got that much more out! so now charlie started a new band that he likes WHATS WRONG W/ THAT and there FUCKING GREAT!!!!!!! i do miss busted but there time was over and we got 2 more great bands out of it son of dork FIGHTSTAR!

    so if u dont like fightstar dont go on this video or others! and stop insluting charlie he is great!

  • i think its more that fact that charlie left the band to created fightstar. and left matt and james pretty much out of the loop.

  • God ,Dan and Charlie look pretty  uncomfortable in this interview

    still i <3 Fightstar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I loved busted and I love fightstar!!

  • i wish he would've hit charlie. i hate charlie for breaking up busted ! he's such a jerk, how can he not think about busted or anything. he's gotten so cocky, he would've been NO WHERE without busted. and he doesn't even thank matt or james, he just left them. he also broke millions of girl hearts when they found our busted was splitting up, and he doesn't even care. what a selfish jerk !

  • actually look at the busted split interview he does thank them also just fucking accept that he is in a new band and is better in this new band also its been 4 years since they split and charlie is not mentioning matt and james because he is there in a new band to promote their song so just shut up about busted will ya u r anoying me now k

  • wow your a dick

    just cause he wanted to go to a different genre and band you think he's a jerk

    you should cut your wrists some more and whisper to yourself that busted wont be back

  • fuck you! Charlie grew up ok, he didnt like the music they made in Busted so he left thats not his problem! Why should he stay with them if he didnt like it, he made a decision like all us humans do! if u wanna hear Busted u can look them up on this and stop crying!!! jeez

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think Charlie used Busted, I think he liked it in the begining, I just think he got older and chanced. I love both bands so think its cool!

  • i don't think he did either. i mean, he, James, and Matt are still good friends, and he said he had a great time with them, but Busted's music just wasn't satisfying Charlie's taste so he had to choose Fightstar.

  • LOL they look so out of place

  • that guy is a nob

  • i would like to hit simon in the face...

  • ouch

    'don't wanna think about it'

  • I MISS BUSTED SO MUCH.

    CHARLIEEEEE :@:@:@ hes just arghhh.

    i used to love him - like i love matt and james,

    but srsly, since the split he just arghh.

    i prefer the old charlie, the charlie that was in busted (LL)

  • you are idiotic sorry but im afraid its true

  • busted have reformed, but james bourne has decided not to come back. its gonna be matt charlie and a member of fightstar. totally true. check out wikipedia

  • wikepedia says there out?

    but if its treu wat do i type in wikepedia?

  • Haha wikipedia, it's not happenin. Fightstar is forever.

  • NO actually, busted sent a bulletin on myspace about 3 days ago saying to ignore wikipedia. cos wikipedias just a load of shiz so get your facts right pls.
