[SPUNGE] bashing on Facebook!

[Gir]

hey guys, i know i haven't been on this forum in AGES but i felt i should show everyone what was said about spunge and how i may have slightly-over-the-top defended them.

i wasn't nasty, just factual... well maybe a little nasty at the end... what can i say i'm hormonal!!! (ready for a long post?!)

I really really really wanna see jesse james on their last tour but i can't Only time i'v got to see them they played a 10 minute opening slot why do they have to break up NOW? Spunge should break up they haven't written a new song in 3 years but not JJ"

And no-one defended [SPUNGE]!!!

I think you'll find that if you've been to their last two years of touring and actually SPOKE to the band they'll tell you they have an entire album ready for recording but they can't physically afford it after all the crap they had from their previous record label which is why they spent all their money on setting up their own label. They already lost Wol because he couldn't stay on the brink of bankruptcy any longer and has a 'proper' job now to look after his family.

plus i have heard some of their new songs, backstabber was released on itunes last year......

.....so they could have money to record, "Girls" they sing at their gigs now as well as their self confessed "Emo song". oh and one more go came out 2 1/2 years ago and that was an official single too.

not to mention they released a dvd too and re-released room for abuse all to get money for their album and released that should cover it.

So the next time you open your mouth get your facts right about the UK's hardest working band, they've had a lot of problems recently.

Just to add insult to injury i saw Jesse James at the Town Mill in Mansfield for £2.50 two summers ago. Thats how desperate they were back then so no wonder they're splitting up now."

I didn't know that was why Wol left. I thought they all had proper jobs these days?

[Gir]

well i'm not sure if thats the proper reason but myself and my fiance were talking to Des at length for one of the gigs and i sort of got the feeling that was why he left. especially how des was talking about hard up they all were financially and i think he said a couple were brinking bankruptcy which is scary and sad but we're always drunk when we talk to des so i may be mis-quoting if i am i'm sorry. "I love you!".

but yes i also get the feeling they have jobs on the side too. i suppose the only why to know is to ask them!

[BillTruelove]

I was talking to them at the Mill nearly 2 years ago about all this but was very drunk. They do all have jobs becasue the dates on the last *tour* were all at weekends so they didn't have to have time off. Nice to see they carry on with the band because they love it.
