Busted - Half Way There (February 8, 2019) Album • Page 9

New song as well coming out in a few weeks feat. Simple Plan?

 

Yeah, re-record of Loser Kid. Sounds like they're doing a bunch of collab re-records for a new album which should be a fun listen.

 

all time low and mcfly features too. blink-182 on air hostess plz

 

excited to hear the McFly song, hopefully it's not like Year 3000 or What I Go to School For lol.

 

Excited for this!

 

Gonna have to get tickets because I've put off going to see them before

Also it's been 4 years since this album, I hadn't even realised

 

i will be angry if anyone is on year 3000 besides jonas brothers

 

haha, good shout!

 

give me an ed sheeran guest spot on EASY, plz.

 

Give me a new studio album of original material over guest feature re-recordings. I won’t pretend I won’t at least check it out, though.

 

Re-record of What Happened To Your Band featuring Mcfly?

 

that would be the worst possible option considering we already have a McBusted version lol.

 

They can just use that recording and have Charlie ad-lib over it

 

Unfortunately with this band nostalgia is going to be king. To the point I will treat any new material out of them as a surprise rather than expected. And why not? Do a quick run of big shows to earn some money so Charlie and James can go make the music they want to make and Matt can go do whatever it is he does nowadays.

 

yeah that's kinda what I'm hoping which is why I'm cool with no new album right now. My dream is that after this tour Gunship will be about done with their new album cycle and then we can get some Fightstar!

 

Gunship?

 

It's a band with half of Fightstar in.

 

Interesting, I’m gonna check that out

 

they have one song with Charlie in. I think Dark All Day is probably their best song.

 

https://rocksound.tv/news/busted-meet-you-there-neck-deep loooool this album is gonna be a fever dream

 

I'm sure the features will be fun but if they're really changing the songs up I'd probably prefer to just have them do it lol.

 

James wants Robbie Williams on the song. That's cos Year 3000 was inspired by his hit 'Millenium'.

He did reply to a tweet implying it would be ideal for Jonas Brothers featuring too (for verses).

Jonas Brothers did also cover What I Go To School For (although their PG version is lame):

 

I love that Busted are about to drop one of the biggest pop-punk/rock collab albums ever. Hopefully this gives them more respect on the scene, which they thoroughly deserve.

Any other hopeful or realistic artistic collaborations? Beyond the pop punk scene, I know James has a good relationship with Wheatus and they've toured together. Busted are about to tour with Hanson too. Maybe Jonas Brothers could feature on What I go to School For (which they also covered) or Year 3000. 5 Seconds For Summer did a Year 3000 cover back in the day (available on YouTube). A Mark Hoppus feature could be a possibility and dream collab. They recently mentioned some other big artists who were Busted fans (i.e. Ed Sheeran, Niall Horan, and even Adele). Hopefully get some high profile artists to boost the popularity of the lesser known acts.

Honestly hyped for all this, haha.

 

maybe .... Charlie Simpson hints at Bring Me The Horizon collaboration

 

Loser Kid 2.0 (feat. Simple Plan) is now out:

Pierre was a good fit for the song. The drums and guitar are more pronounced (which is something Charlie always wanted but the label pushed back on in the earlier days). Their vocals sound a bit too autotuned at times though. The song itself is a deep cut classic so it's nice to see it get some more love amongst their other hits. Hope there's more deep cut songs.
