I wrote all these riffs for as long as it took me to play them, and came up with the arrangements. I'm fucking ashamed of being in this band, vanity and greed over creativity and originality.

@pipflu One question, do you have the lyrics? Thank you. :)

[CheriviuM]

it's a shame that they eh... split up :(

[pipflu]

@VivalaMcCoy aw man I feel bad now. Many musicians/artists hate stuff they have done for various reasons, it doesn't mean that the listener isn't allowed to enjoy it. I just youtubed this band and couldn't believe the responses. If anyone listening to this gets some enjoyment out of it I guess that's a good thing :)

Oh come now boys, it's good and you know it. :p

And yeah also you should start another version of the Mannequins! Get some new blood in, maybe interview them this time and make sure they don't have grand illusions of making art with their music and/or have a coke problem and/or are trying to single handedly spread AIDS across the world and you'll be cool, haha. It doesn't always work out the first time, so don't give up!

[pipflu]

woah man I ain't bitter at all! Also I ruined fuck all, it just really would never have worked out with or without me. It was never a concious decision to leave, more it just fell apart organically.

Out of everyone in the project you invested the most into it and I do feel bad as to what happened and if I was to go back I think all of us would have been more adult about it, but think about it dude, would it really have worked? Really?

I hope you are keeping well man, genuinely :)

You really are a bitter waste of space Phillip, grow up, get a grip and be thankful you were given such a great opportunity, which, I might add, you completely ruined in search of being a 'real' musician. Enjoy the rest of your life being a session musician. Jono

@MrsDeadlyfun

I don't, I just wrote the tunes really not the lyrics, he should be a little clearer on his pronunciation!
