I can't hear it here
what are they like?

although, based on the names of their songs, they are probably shit.

I agree with every word in this post.

the OP also seems to have a bit of "ooo, I'm friends with people in a band, check me out"
I'm in a band. It's not a particularly special thing.

I thought i'd made it clear everyone knows a band and it's not special?

no, you made it seem like it was some special thing
"such is life; you live in London, you have band friends"

edit: before this goes the wrong way, I wasn't having a go, just making an observation

You instantly lost this potential argument by saying "I'm in a band"
Probably very smugly.

I wasn't looking for an argument
and I've heard my band, there's not a lot to be smug about

My mate's band headlined a gig with Oasis supporting.
Does that make me smug or just really fucking old?

It makes you fucking irresponsible
Just think of the suffering your mate could have averted with a couple of well-placed bullets

I could have done it myself, I was there.
They were shit then and they didn't get any better.

I'm very sorry. I feel I've let the world down badly.

Your contrition is acceptable
How could you possibly have known that such a godawful band would achieve such prominence?

What were your mate's band called, anyway?

They've been through about 5 incantations
I think they were called Painted Desert back then. Can't be certain. They turned down a deal with Food about then. Then Unit, he then played lead guitar in Jack for a bit but decided that he'd have a "normal" career instead.

Well you know how all comedy songs are just fucking shit
His mate doesn't diverge from this particular rule

I'll be honest
Even Lawnmower Deth only got away with it by the skin of their teeth. Sometimes.

The song titles make them sound worringly like a novelty band.

( Kroney, Mon 4 Apr 2011, 10:38, Reply)

that was my thought

Really? I did not know this

(cheerymaddox 'Quite cute when not talking', Mon 4 Apr 2011, 10:45, Reply)

Either you're being sarcastic, in which case you should have told your friends
that their song titles make them sound like a joke, or you're being genuine, in which case you're not very observant.
