honey_sucks Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 I don't suppose for one minute anyone remembers Muse playing at Battle of the Bands at the Cavern Club in Exeter in 1995? I was in a band called Honey Sucks at the time and we beat them in the semi-final. My claim to fame!
Astronoma Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Nope! I was five at the time. Don't suppose you have pictures??
honey_sucks Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 Nah, no photos or nothing like that. We didn't know then what they'd become. Legend has it, though, that I lent Chris my bass guitar strap 'cos his broke. I don't remember though 'cos I was hammered. Maybe one day he'll confirm this himself ... somewhere ... somehow ...!
Astronoma Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Chris was probably hammered too though;) What was their reaction to losing? Honey sucks>Muse:eek:
honey_sucks Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 Don't remember a lot about it. Again, though, legend has it that this was the night some A&R guy signed them up. No doubt someone will refute this and spoil my little fantasy. Should have been us ... ... although we lost in the final!
honey_sucks Posted April 14, 2007 Author Posted April 14, 2007 Honey Sucks split up soon after. Too old to rock.
Tramp-In-Denial Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 My dad;s mate probably supported them with his band near that time, I've forgoten what they were called though .
seregon Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 That wasn't the one where they painted their faces all gothic like was it? Man I'd love to see pics of that

I was in a band called Honey Sucks at the time and we beat them in the semi-final. My claim to fame! That's so cool! If it's the legandary Battle of the Bands that Muse are always on about, what was their performance like? Did they really have naked women on stage?

Did they really have naked women on stage? But you're forgetting that in that particular legendary battle of the bands they claim to have won.
Yus Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 But you're forgetting that in that particular legendary battle of the bands they claim to have won. Haha, true. Misread some stuff there.
AlexGB- Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Didn't they try to win a few botb but only win the last one they tried to?
Niall Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Don't spose you remember any of the songs? It was probably just Small Minded and a few Nirvana covers heh...
Drakey Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 That wasn't the one where they painted their faces all gothic like was it? Man I'd love to see pics of that oh god me too!! that would be legendary! dam thwy dont they do the gothic makeup for wembly? that would be ace!

Drakey Posted April 14, 2007 Posted April 14, 2007 Cos that would be... stupid would be dam funny though!
mikeadyla Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 maybe they just pretended they won a battle of the band
Nattywba Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 maybe they just pretended they won a battle of the band maybe.... the little liars
static shadows Posted April 15, 2007 Posted April 15, 2007 maybe they just pretended they won a battle of the band Interestingly in old interviews when they metion it they often say something like '...and i think we actually won' which i always thought was odd...
bumfluff Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 Nope! I was five at the time. Don't suppose you have pictures?? lol, so was i
madzip Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 I have deffo read an interview where they claim to have won the BOTB '95 - I remember Matt saying in an interview that they couldnt play anything and were rubbish but they just had loads of energy and got the crowd going and finished the set by trashing everything and that this was A defining moment when he realised that it wasnt just about the music - it was about evoking emotion and reaction in the listeners and thats what makes a great band..... ... or summat like that!!!
seregon Posted April 16, 2007 Posted April 16, 2007 oh god me too!! that would be legendary! dam thwy dont they do the gothic makeup for wembly? that would be ace!
