Product Description

Product Description

With guitar-driven punk pop to rival top US groups like Blink 182 and Wheatus - Busted were a breath of fresh air when they burst onto the scene in 2002 with the catchy single "What I Go To School For", followed by "Year 3000". Busted aim to be the natural antidote to choreographed boy bands and this book offers a scrapbook of the group's personal rock'n'roll memorabilia, reflecting their rapid rise to fame. Surfing, shooting pool, football, gigging - a series of snapshots of life in young, bright, guitar-driven Britain in 2003. Every tale is told by the lively Busted 18-year-olds, Mattie, Charlie and James, oozing wit, style and charm. Added to the mix are exclusive photographs of the band in recording and television studios, on the road and live on stage during their first tour in May 2003.

5.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT book of Busted's collected thoughts!, 3 Aug 2003
By A Customer
I had my doubts about this book, when I bought it, as I had never bought a book like this before. I shouldn't have worried though, as this book is fantastic!
It contains Busted telling the story of how they formed, how they each spent their respective childhoods, and their thoughts on their songs, girls and the future.
Written as an interview, with hilarious stories and encounters, told by the lads themselves, in a detailed, humourous style.
There are also loads of exclusive photos and fact files on who the lads sight as their idols, which are very interesting.
To sum up a funny, interesting book! If you are having any doubts about buying it, don't, its a brilliant buy, as it makes a great, funny read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Book in The World!, 13 Jul 2003
If you love Busted, then this is the book for you! It is filled with great pics that'll make you drool, and full of tons of facts you never knew before! I got this book before it offically was released, and have read it about four times already! It is really interesting as it truly makes you appreciate what Matt, James and Charlie have done in order to make it big, showing that they truly deserve it! A brilliant read! Definatly 5 stars!
