[newbster7]

What's the silver guitar called in the mIddle on the right?

[joehanson100]

@newbster7 its a PRS, not sure what model, maybe a CE24 in silver 

[DIETRYING001]

@newbster7 its a prs standard 22 in platinum silver, dot inlays. tremolo and emg pickups. think he uses an emg 89 not sure though, maybe an 81 in the bridge and an 89 in the neck.

[overlightband]

Great guitars you guys have there:)

The yellow one is a Fender Telecaster with EMG single coils (I guess the T set)

The grey one is either a PRS Standard or Custom 22 with EMG 81 and 85

[MaxAtkinsonGuitar]

I am sorry but the big muff is by no means "rubbish".

[Telecasterpunk]

[Sj0edell]

20th of february, 2010! (L)

[Apollosviper]

tiddlywinks98712 - your a tit

[Apollosviper]

PRS suck?

Do you smoke crack and talk out of your arse on a regular basis?

PRS make some of the finest guitars on the market, thats why Santana, Ted Nugent, Alex Lifeson and Dave Navarro use them.

Think before you post dumb-ass!

[tiddlywinks98712]

nugent is so lame, using him in ur arguement has just instantly made u lose. well done

[JEAG]

Hahahah he's better positioned than you that's for sure... No arguments about it... If you do, you gotta be Santana... You're not? Ahh... ok...

[tiddlywinks98712]

to be 'better positioned' today means shit all,.."rock" music has become a place of pop boy bands like fallout boy and all american rejects who are basically the jonas brothers soundalikes, but with an 'image' that according to modern rock magazines and tv channels is a current 'rock' look...and charlie simpson is the biggest pop loser of them all! busted will always scar that band...no more than the music they make tho, total shit...also his whiney american accent pisses me off...

[JEAG]

OMG You amaze me with your original (i'm a 34 yr old metalhead with no band) knolege... Well... If you think Jonas Brothers and this music is alike man i take no opinions from you... Sorry for my english i speak spanish...

[tiddlywinks98712]

ahhh el gringo salvadori muchos muchos gratsias. if ur 34 and a metalhead, u are way too old to be listening to this stuff aimed at 16 year olds

[JEAG]

Dude... Sarcasm... YOU sound like a 34 yr old metalhed... OMFG... Amazed... Totally amazed... Hahahahah this guy made me laugh... Yeah dude... Jonas Brothers sound alike... You're a Pro Musician man... LOL

[tiddlywinks98712]

haha why the fuck would i be a metalhead? its the worst genre of music ever, and for some fucked up reason u like it...do u even know who busted were? and also the fact u like jonas brothers really really really degrades the value of any arguement u put forward

[JEAG]

Give me a good argument besides "This guys (and all music) sucks" and i could really think you´re not a stupid YouTube troll...

[tiddlywinks98712]

what? ur just saying stupid things like u like the jonas brothers, like it has anything to do with anything, ur actually retarded in the medical sense of the word...

and if u think these guys represent 'all music', that ADDS to ur retardation

[JEAG]

I didn´t said that i liked Jonas Brother moronic troll... You´re making a fool outta yourself man... LOL

[JEAG]

And... If you like Busted... You´re a homo... Sure you prefer Tokyo Hotel... Fucking fag...

[tiddlywinks98712]

i never said i liked busted, i said busted was shit, and he is in busted...therefore his music will never be taken seriously

[JEAG]

He left that band like 3 years ago... But you're only saying that everything is "Shit" so... What is good? You're just trolling and i'm ROFL...

[prs9191]

PRS do not suck, and there fitted with emgs so they sound like any other emg pickup guitar and are emgs not one of the leading pickup choices for metal guitarists? and they use the tele for cleans if you have acctully listerned to a fightstar song you will see there cleans sound great.

[tiddlywinks98712]

yea, telecaster is a fucking good guitar, just the PRS that suck, and EMGs to make it not sound like a guitar and just make it sound like a really thin weak sounding piece of shit. and after seeing them at reading, when u cudnt hear the guitars cus they were to weak cus of the choice of amps, distortion and guitars, i just realised their true lack of knowlege of how to make any form of good music

[benjaminpicard]

If you judge a band on their equipment alone then you are an idiot and clearly not a musician yourself.

[tiddlywinks98712]

oh dont get me wrong, they make shit music, its just the equipment doesnt do them any favours...their music is beyond saving even if they had the best gear in the world...fucking terrible, lame whiney shit sissy loser band

[benjaminpicard]

This comment just proves how misinformed you really are.

[tiddlywinks98712]

clearly doesn't, can u name ONE thing musically that makes fightstar good...and u cant use 'guitar playing, lyrics, song structure, bass playing, singing, screaming, the fact charlie is a lame boy band douche...'...

enlighten me

[benjaminpicard]

OK then, awesome live performances, incredible drumming, amazing songwriting and have you heard the new album... the production is fantastic.

Now take your C in gcse music and shove it up your arse you utter wanker.

[tiddlywinks98712]

oh yea, i saw them live at reading, the sucked so bad...like, actually horrendus. we just kinda had to laugh at points it was so lame...any band (even britney spears) can sound ok with enuff production...so yea, the only way ur saying that they are good is due to the way they make it sound in a studio...yep, THAT makes a GRRREEAAATT band...[hint of sarcasm]

[elementrocks118]

@tiddlywinks98712

Look if you have your own opinions on Fightstar that are negative, don't blast it out to fightstar fans. 'Cause frankly none of us could give less of a shit about your views on the fact Charlie can't be taken seriously, or that Prs guitars and emg pickups are shit. so please bring it to another video...

[MayonaiseKing100]

@elementrocks118 yea, tiddlywinks98712 speaks the complete truth, but should save it for a video who cares

[themanfromfinland]

i agree, my tele is the shit, its totally vintage and has awesome sound quality, its all about the amps. and telecasters are known for low action easy playability, i use it especially when playing live

[tiddlywinks98712]

yea, what amps do fightstar use? they sounded awful at reading '09. tele's are epic

[seraphism91]

anyone tell me about the guitars and pedals in this vid ?

[tiddlywinks98712]

yea, the guitars are PRS. they suck. the telecaster is epic but not for this kinda metal music.

The purple one is a boss flanger, the white boss one next to it is a stereo chorus pedal and dunno what the other one is.

The Big Muff is an incredible and unique sounding fuzz pedal. (smashing pumpkins - 'cherub rock' will prove that) fightstar are just too talentless and know nothing about how instruments work to make it sound good and thats why they say it sucks. fuzz also doesnt 'go' with metal.

[SeanAndThePerverts]

your a tit.

[MissFightstar]

CUNT FACE , FUCK OFF THIS PAGE

[tiddlywinks98712]

oh hey Cunt Face, nice to meet u.

yea i have fucked off this page, 2 months ago as u can see, but thanks for bringing me back to it, to remind me of the shitty music this band makes, and their absolute fuck all knowlege of musical instruments and reminding me how shit they were live at Reading Festival

[MissFightstar]

God your obviously a complete dick... Fightstar are an amazing band and you'd know that if you had listened to any of their amazing music.... if not then why the fuck have you been on this page... fuck off back to n dubz or whatever it is you like.

[tiddlywinks98712]

haha, NDubz are probably even worse than fightstar...but not much worse and thats saying something...and yea, i wudnt listen to NDubz, cus i listen to rock music, maybe u shud try listening to real, non over-produced shit bands (ie NOT listen to fightstar)???

and yea, i was showed this page by a friend who somehow likes them, so i just saw it via that.

peace

[sydneybristow89]

@tiddlywinks98712

Oh stop trolling.

Also, please check your comments for grammatical errors before posting, it gives me a headache trying to translate your moronic posts.

[tiddlywinks98712]

lol u are really a typical geeky nerd, the same as most fightstar fans...if u love grammar so much, go read a textbook...NO ONE actually cares about grammar in youtube comments haha!, and if u can't decipher a post because of a lack of a few commas, then u are actually retarded.

p.s, fightstar suck HUGELY

[sydneybristow89]

'geeky nerd'? .....ok I'll just let that one go since a) you don't know me and b) the latter word would've been redundant/

And I care about grammar because unlike you my parents weren't first cousins so was born with a fully functional brain.

Fightstar rule.

[tiddlywinks98712]

haha u really are a nerd, based on what u type. but anyway, bottom line, u like a shitty overproduced wannabe pop band. so yea, enjoy

[BGAPB]

@tiddlywinks98712 can't you just calm down a bit? Nobody probably even asked your opinion in the first place seeing how bias it is...

[tiddlywinks98712]

lol i was actually asked by some guy to say what 'gear' was in the video...i then just commented how this band is so shit and use the worst guitars, sound bad live because of it, and need to work damn hard in the recording studio to make their wank music sound half decent...and the fact they can't make a 'big muff' sound good ACTUALLY makes them retarded

[BGAPB]

So why are you even watching one of their videos if they're so "retarded"? Shows how idiotic you are...

[tiddlywinks98712]

lol i've answered this to so many retard fightstar fans...but yea, i was shown it as a link by a friend of mine who likes fightstar...i never knew much about them other than their crappy music videos on TV and their crap performance at reading festival 09...NOW i can see that they are actually clueless about anything to do with rock music, and just like to overproduce the fuck out of their music to make it sound really fake....and shit

[khaledsom3a22]

these guy are the most underrated band in history

[SlaughteredKid]

In the jungle the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...

[eatallpiepods]

Actually I really like their posh accents ^__^

[kirryn9]

New Album = Awesome!

[rater1008]

charlie is so posh, i think he should at least have developed a new accent by now! Mercury summer is v good tho

[harrywbfmv]

[Timothystickland]

yeah they all went to private school and uni

[Praktical]

...No they didn't. Where did you hear that?

[Timothystickland]

on there wiki when they first came onto the scene.

[shannonalison]

theyre only posh to americans or people whoo dont live near london

[Praktical]

None of the others are posh, Charlie is though.

[DWDrummerJon151]

[bigdaz101]

PRS for the win, i play bass but i actually want to buy one just to have one. I'd say i wish they made basses, but they'd probably look really shit lol.

[Caitlin32892]

"Shit thats way better than my Transformers one: LMFAO

[someDRUNKayy]

that's some skilled xylophone playing. it's funny that mercury summer has transformed from what that was into the awesome song it is today. i love fightstar. who's with me?

[soulgirl983]

the blue mr potato head's voice reminds me of this wig girl who lives on top of a curry shop :L

[Fluxmeimfamous]

New album should be amazing !

[1966boy]

[Praktical]

10101010101

[taccaron1]

lol i love my big muff distortion pedal

[spredspred]

what model is that silver PRS?

[fightstarfreak]

i saw one on ebay a while back and it was a prs mccarty

[tiddlywinks98712]

wait, has busted changed its name to 'fightstar'??

[ejcottier]

nahh dude, busted split up ages ago, and Charlie made a band called Fightstar

[ecbfilms001]

no idiot charlie quit busted because it was crap for him so he joined fightstar

[ljonvideos]

I'm afraid your both wrong. Charlie was with Fightstar orgininally before Busted. He met the other 2 in Busted and tried to make it big with them. After the second album they had a conflict of interest and charlie had to make the decision of either staying with one of the two groups. He chose Fightstar thank god

[ecbfilms001]

oh thanks

[dswann1988]

nah mate sorry, your wrong he met alex about 2 years before busted split then firts fightstar gig was about a year before split

[Praktical]

You complete tard :) Busted went for about a year/two years, then Charlie met Alex at a party and after a jam they decided to form a band. He carried on with Busted and then realised it wasn't fulfilling him musically. he left Busted to spend more time with the band that made the music he wanted to make...Fightstar.

[ljonvideos]

Yh, I did notice that when I went on Wiki after my post to check out what the new album line up was going to be. My bad :)

[YouAreUnbelievable]

I fancied Charlie when he was in Busted LOL

[Timothystickland]

THATS ALEX'S TELE!!!! PUT IT DOWN CHAZ

[Hollzy123]

haha i love it at the beginning when Dan says 'its kinda fresh... its fresh round here ya know.... fresh'

[spunkdribble90]

"Red Rapist" LMFAO!!!!

[punksrule4life]

"This is my gloryhole..." XD

You guys really like those xylophones, don't ya?

[stephenshort]

Of the 2 "main guitars" does anyone know what the silver one on the right is?

[X3MUSEWOOO]

looks like a schecter? or an ibanez

[ryanidr91]

no, its a PRS definitely

[Whelo10]

Does any1 know what the song in the background is around the 1 min mark, it's like a remix to the english way

[dswann1988]

english way instrumental mate

[han1988missy]

yeah. . . did Alex have the camera here as it sounds like him ?!

[ppa5b]

yeahh charlie play saron from indonesia

[rokhedthrabit]

haha chaz cheeky monkey wit his xylophone solo

[indiekid771]

Didnt he say, there "putting one on here ever single week or so" but they havent put a new one on yet this week >:'(

[FightstarCovers]

I think they should make two cd's one of the actually album.

And the other of the album but just the instrumental tracks, the RAW side of the album.

Sounds like a total plan to me ;)

[DeathcarKid]

Brilliant idea. Easy for us tabbers too.

[turnip1987]

looking forward to the next album!

[KittieMcVittie]

DAN.....what has happened to yer hair growth on the head?

[Mstar82]

they look like in the first days of fightstar when the first album was made.

Good, because I really loved the first album, but Ive to admit I dont like the second album.

anyways this album has a lot potential

charlie should have let us listen a bit more, that was cruel!! need new stuff!
