This is basically that Ting Tings song from 2008.

The charts appear to be either Ed-Sheeran types or females trying to soundtrack the next John Lewis ad.

Chicory Tip, now THEY were a band, rabblerabblerabble...

I can handle Sheeran (that's actually untrue, his music is dreadful), but the Sheeran copycats, with their stupid small guitars and the endless whining are, frankly, a disgrace to the gender.

Not sure who this is about, but she's a sap.

Ol' Donie

I do a great rendition of this tune whenever I let rip.

Ol' Donie

Thanks for nothing, Covid.

I 'genuinely' (I've got to stop using that word, getting into Miriam territory) don't understand why bands like Kodaline and Picture This have made the CONSCIOUS decision to sound like they do.

Think about it...imagine you're starting a band. You could be anything you want...you could be the next Beatles, the next Kraftwerk, the next Clash, the next Stooges. Why they have decided to sound like they do is a complete mystery to me.

Anyway, back to keyboard warrior mode

That's what I'm always saying.

How do you even get the enthuaism to rehearse that shìt? It cannot possibly get the adrenaline up.

You'd never see em play a Gretsch White Falcon. Billy Duffy plays them

Ol' Donie

I think the last time I was in the Olympia was to see Slash.

He'd walk out if he saw this (although if he was interviewed about it, he'd almost definitely say ot was really great).

Ol' Donie

What the...

What the hell??

Welsh Megaman

You're too close Bongo, sit back a bit.

nomdeboardie

All my dogs have just fled the room en masse.

Ol' Donie

Love The Edge.

Not a big fan of their tunes, but I love the way he puts it together.

Ol' Donie

Ireland's answer to Henrik Larsson.

Actually I'm enjoying the new young talent. Its refreshing

Ol' Donie

Doesn't it somewhat diminish the point of this to have a backing track?

Gizmo55

Uh huh...yo

Ol' Donie

Irish hip hop.

Three words that instill fear like few others.
