  I'm not normally a fan of bands who's accents come though so strongly when they sing, but these fella's are an exception to that (old) rule.

  I think not being Scottish helps with accent thing. I can't stand this guy/band personally. It's not the accent. i just think it's pish.

  I don't really understand why they're so popular to be honest. It's not very inspiring stuff.

  They hype does seem to be massive surrounding them, another NME hype-machine maybe?

  Yeah, it's ok, I will check out the album but I agree it's not exactly life changing stuff.

  • Blame Alan McGee, he raves about them wherever he goes lol– 23kon1/2

    I think he had a stroke when he listened to their demo and its now permanently stuck in his head– kelpie2/2

  I used to be with "it", but then they changed what "it" was and now what's "it" seems dark and scary to me.

  JerseyRaindog, don't forget that any band that has widespread appeal is instantly shit.

  If anyone has heard of them you're not allowed to like it, you should know this by now.

  • I agree but even when I first heard him on local stations..I lol'd– Jnr_Madison1/4

    hahah– Jaline2/4

    Also, don't forget that shit mor wailing can still be shit even if it gets on 6music.– jamble3/4

  no opinion of the band really. I just fucking hate that they stole their name off flyers from a club I used to religiously attend and they probably don't even know where it comes from. fucking kids.

  • I knew I'd heard that name somewhere before! Cheeky fuckers.– Raniator1/5

    the legendary crusty techno knees up Test. good times, good times– kelpie2/5

    anything to do with vegas in edinburgh, going through to glasgow?– skt3/5

    nope.– kelpie4/5

    it's a stupid name anyway... I hate folk that put it on there bebo or myspace instead of Glasgow.– misstawilson5/5

  i actually quite like their lattest song "daddys c*nted"

  but i really cant STAND the band.
  i saw the singer being interviewed by Alan McGee (Creation Records) and the singer just seemed up his own ass, as if they were more famous than any other band EVER! and were a million times better than anyone else. (fair enough though if you actually ARE).
  Alan McGee raves about this band constantly, and i dont see whats there.

  The band has been around for years and has a masssive following in glasgow.

  Yes you might be the next best thing to god in glasgow and you walk around there like you're cool as fuck with all the teenyboppers pointing and swooning, but its definitely NOT like that in other cities lol.

  Kelpie, i dont think they are kids, they's auld c*nts are they not?

  • yeah, they look like a bunch of old c*nts to me?– Raniator1/2

    I reckon this is the very first original Glasvegas backlash city mate. They are already very far from cool here.– kelpie2/2

  some aztec camera
  
  jnr madison expressed his dislike of the scottish accent in glasvegas song so i thought id post this one.
  i think that "walk out to winter" really 'uses' Roddy Frame's accent really well, to the point that i actually love his accent in this song. one of my favourite songs of all time.

  • No, I said it's not his accent, I just hate him. I like Aztec Camera.– Jnr_Madison1/2

    :)– 23kon2/2

  lets mention the word "Glasvegas" or "Glasvegas free MP3s" so this thread gets a good google score for the band and we spend the rest of the thread slating them.

  I'm still allowed to shout "fucking kids" at them for being totally ignorant. Kids think its just a cool nickname for glasgow. Fucking kids.

  Come to think of it, who in the fuck has the neck to call their band after a "cool nick name" for their fucking city? can we check where this name registers on the giveafuckometer for anybody else?

  doesn't give a fuck: ...^............................… :gives a fuck

  • *starts a band called Edinburger - just to annoy kelpie*– 23kon
