3Am

were in tonights telegraph because they apparently won the BBC's Raw Talent thing... and could be starrting in a fly on the wall documentry to be shown on the BBC soon

how?

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????etc

Good for them [img]smile.gif[/img]

3am prove to me that with the right promotion and image any band can "make it". Thus proving the music industry is based on fraud and selling bands instead of music.

Joe (not Thom) joe (not thom)

And that most people are stupid and are more interested in bands than in music - I just get pissed off with such things as the Tom Ritchie column in the new Franklin Prospectus where he claims "I came to Franklin with a vision. My dream is to make it big in the music industry" - that having a vision should be an artistic creative thing but people are dumb enough to associate it with just wanting to succeed in an industry, which is clearly all Mr Ritchie (father and son) are interested in

Thom (not Joe) thom (not joe)

Scott Ritchie and son, taking the art and emotion out of music since 1985.

Joe (Not Thom) joe (not thom)

I have nothing more to add, save that sadly art and emotion very rarely have anything to do with music, or art and emotion even

Thom (Not Joe) thom (not joe)

I too have nothing further to add.

Na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na na.

haha

theres even going to be a single out before christmas!

Where do i reserve mine??

what is the website address for 3am?

3 AM

Again, good for them. It's just old fucking news that when 3AM (Tom Ritchie mainly) have any form of publicity the majority of you on here slag them off. Just because their going up in the world (well, they have ventured out from GY) and most GY bands are still playing dingy venues in Grimsby and Cleethorpes theres no need to slag them off. So what if Tom Ritchie is egotistical, most band members (especially singers) are.
Thats my point of view.

I dont know, but heres a dead cool pick

(the web site that this came from had the caption "this ones for all the Lad-ies",swarve)

The raw talent was decided by the amount of internet votes on the BBC website. I belive that 3am strapped the mouse button down and refreshed the page loads of times, but this may not be true.

http://www.3amband.com/

It's on my favourites list.

I see in the paper that Tom Ritchie is no longer playing that piece of shit but is now sporting a Taylor, the price of their cheapest full size guitar is about a grand.


Christ.

So they've disabled the edit post function, okay so I fucked up!

i wish i was a bitch...

Tom Ritchie told me to my face that he spent all the money he had saved for university to buy his new guitar because "i don't need to go there anymore"

Well, he's in a popular band now, just like Menswear, Rialto, Northern Uproar and the Montrose Avenue, and no doubt he'll be in the exact same position as them in a years time. Well done Tom, you're a [img]graemlins/star.gif[/img]

yeah well you have a girl in your avatar you big pansy new romantic. Tom Ritchie is the greatest person in the history of everything

Sucess is the realisation of your own goals and ambitions, so if Tom Ritchie feels playing unpassionate and unintelligent pop music to jaded and unpassionate audiences is succes i guess he has made it. let him get on with it.

I dont see why everyone is so affended by 3am, they have nothing to do with "the scene" and their music isnt even directed at "the scene". just ignore them.

3am are popular, deal with it or some shit. They'll probably just end up doing a couple of crappy Sunny Delight or Deralea Lunchables sponsored tours anyway, until they get ditched when their record label finds the next, next big thing.


So in closing, D.I.Y or die.

hes right
in the real world, if someone is a cunt, we ignore em or beat them up. so unless someone wants to metaphorically "fight" 3 am(eg rival the success they are experiencing) we might as well just let em get on with it.

i want to rival their success.
who wants to be in a band?
Must be... good looking, able to write songs that are radio friendly, some sense of style (for image), willing to comprise their beliefs to make it into the mainstream.
The band will play pop indie and have and instantly rememberable name. They will release one pop album and then disappear into the uindergrowth after a scandal involving hard drugs and hookers.

Joe Marshall you think you know everything and you go round apreciating art, bullshit buddy everyone just thinks your stupid!!!

[img]rolleyes.gif[/img] *gasp*

ooooooooo, Joe, he's dissin yo style man

vote for me

Lil Dood, Lil Dood, Lil Dood... You are a plonka aren't you? I did you know wrong, now you do me wrong. I hope for your sake someone has stolen your account and is merely posting under your name. All the arguments you have made have been poorly structured, juvenile and essentially rubbish. You have no right to pass judgement on most of the people you have criticised as you don't know them. Oh and Vikki Holmes thinks you're a jerk. And Metallica are rubbish. And i want to be in a band with you.

P.S. When have i ever pretended to be "dead into art"?

P.P.S. you've got dead arkward posture.

vikki holmes lol

ah ok

lol?
