    I'm perturbed.

    The ginger one actually seems relatively attractive these days but I preferred her slutty look back in the day.

    Hear Hear.
    Also, what kind of world are we living in when the reformation of the Spice Girls upstages the reformation of The Verve?
    Madness.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,382 Mod ✭✭✭✭lordgoat


    Musically i;d say the spice girls are a bit better than the verve. I just hope for fans of both that their concerts aren't on the same days. How would they ever decide??

    korn are metal not gothic u tool. also emos are the ones whocut themselves.

    i would love to see spice girls try and play a guitar,never mind sing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Can't sing,can't play instruments,can't write songs, picked because of a manufactured image.
    They signify all that has been wrong with the music industry for the past 20 years.

    Spot the angst ridden teen anyone?

    Watch this:

    Lyrically i'd say they're probably as good if not better than korn.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 589 ✭✭✭irish_boy90


    yeah but did they write those songs??
    it would be alot easier for a band to all dance and sing instead of having to play instruments and actually play instead of sticking on a back up track and dancing for kids.

    let me find some good korn for u

    Another thing. Korn certainly don't mime someone else's lyrics.

    Do Korn actually "play" their instruments?

    And they are just as contrived as the Spice Girls, only difference being that they play for angst ridden kids instead of little girls. Although mind you, a lot of the angsty kids go on like little girls.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 11,382 Mod ✭✭✭✭lordgoat


    aren't angst ridden teens and little girls the same thing?
    Korn yawn, spice girls yawn.

    i dont like korn, but id mush rather go to a korn gig than a spice girls gig!!! putting on a spice girls cd is much more painfull than cutting yourself!!! (im guessing, i dont cut myself, im not emo!)

    Funniest thing i have heard all year!!! Korn are a metal band, playing their instruments are the most important part of their live preformances. busted mimed their guitars, as nobody in the crowd would even notice.

    Your sarcasm detectors are obviously not working.

    And didn't Busted actually play and write their own songs?

    yea they did, but on stage, they often mimed their guitars, as a guitarist that is the ultimate sin!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,625 ✭✭✭✭BaZmO*


    Yeah but they're a pop band so who gives a sh1t?

    Probably the best thing about this is that it will finally put the whole thing to rest. We've been listening to rumors about them getting back together since about bloody 2001!

    Fair played to them though - one by one their solo careers have fallen off the edge, so now's their opportunity to make a killing off, what, 10 concerts. Would you pass it up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,884 ✭✭✭grumpytrousers


    what i'm trying hard to work out is how to make it financially viable; Take That returned, but their fan base in the 90's were early teenagers who - ten years on - have gotten the kind of jobs where they'll be able to afford to go to gigs.

    The spice girls, OTOH, with only ten dates, give me the feeling that they'll be charging megabucks to attend; not Streisand levels, but certainly high enough. But their fanbase were younger, and they still won't be, for the most part, earning the potential money that'll be required to see their, um, idols.

    Take That also had a level of gay following which is traditionally economically viable, but do the Spices have that either?

    There could be some interest from the older, male "I'd still sniff the ginger one's bicycle seat at a pinch" market. Not including myself in that demographic of course.

    That's one creepy demographic right there stovelid, really hope you really are not part of it. I'd say they do have quite a gay following and sure there's ALWAYS a market for nostalgia. Their albums must have sold 25 million each at the height of their fame so their bound to sell out 10 stadiums (stadia??) before calling it an official day.

    you strike me as the type who might, um, splash out on a Spice Girls poster alright...

    :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    Seriously though, I think the concerts will probably sell out. They have all kept in the public eye since the breakup of the spice girls even if not for music (or indeed, unfortunate music) reasons.
