What they say about McFly
Brian May, Queen:
These guys are so young, but so accomplished. They really do a magnificent show… it’s totally entertaining and totally pro their skill in pure musicianship and contact with the audience would put many ‘respectable’ older bands to shame.
Matt Helder, Arctic Monkeys: You can tell it comes from the heart with McFly.
Roger Daltery, The Who: Playing with the guys, I found it refreshing. They gave (My Generation) the energy the song needs - and they played it very well… This is the part of the music industry I’ve always hated. Because they’re teens, their fans are very, very, very young, there’s a lot of snobbish behaviour goes on in the rock ‘n’ roll world, ‘oh they’re just a boyband’. Well I have to tell you that The Who were a boyband when we started. There’s nothing wrong with it, everyone has to start somewhere. And they’re doing a great job on this track.
Courtney Love: Who says McFly are a boy band? That’s insane. Those guys slam.
Kevin McHale, Glee: ...am I a McFly fan? Since ‘5 colours’ 5 years ago... hell yes! There’s so many artists that have these massive collections. I mean, I’m still hoping for a McFly episode, but that will never happen. I love McFly.

Consider this your call to action.
I know that we all love this site as an expression of our individuality, but the fact of the matter is, we are under attack. And what we do is distracting us from that fact.
The American government now has all the records from Megaupload’s…
“Loving a band with all your heart is something you only understand when it happens to you. On the surface, others can see it as a petty obsession, but they’ll just never know the feeling of putting so much faith into a few people on the other side of the world. It’s hard to explain it to them, the listening to song after song on repeat, the waits for new albums, the excitement and surreal sensation when you finally see them live. They don’t seem to understand why the lyric booklets give you a sense of comfort, or why you paste photos of them all over your bedroom walls. And they can’t understand why one band could matter to you so much. And you think to yourself ‘Because they saved my life.’ But you say nothing, they wouldn’t understand”
