I met a member of Hinder at a gas station as he was on his way to record their first album. I was like, "Well, best of luck with that, Dude. What's the name of your band again?  I'll try to keep an ear out for it."

Don't really care for their music, though.

Yeah, I've seen him at the same gas station a few times since then (I worked there for two years). Nice guy.

And when they get famous and everyone says they're one of their 'favourite bands', I feel kind of angry because I think: 'Hey! That's MY band, I found it first!'

Silly stuff.

Yep, when they hit the mainstream/sell out, it's like "But I liked them ages ago!" .

As soon as everyone else including the press discovers them they just kinda lose that special appeal. : /

I remember when most of my friends had never heard of Royksopp, and then the Geico commercial came out and I was able to loan my copy of Melody AM out and be smug.

Michael Jackson. We were at daycare together and he would always sing above all the other kids and pounce on anybody that touched his gloves while yelling 'Who's bad?! Who's bad?!" What a jerk! Apparently he became a singer or something…

I cant stand it when a new band only becomes hot because they re-did an old song, and all the young kids are like isnt this song awesome :P

inyourpanorama
inyourpanorama posted about 1 year ago

Yeah, but fortunately most of the time that band becomes a one-hit wonder.

Like that one band, The Ataris did four years ago when they covered “The Boys Of Summer” and then disappeared just as quickly.

Good point, iyp, people should be warned about Kink when they sign up. I also made the same mistake when I was a newbie here so dont worry about it llamagurl, you'll either learn to  love it or hate it hahahaWink
