Don´t Start a Band

El nombre de este nuevo blog es un homenaje a una canción de uno de mis grupos favoritos, Reel Big Fish (algunos recordareis su divertida versión de Take on Me), a los cuales pude ir a ver la semana pasada en concierto. Era la primera vez que tocaban aquí y venían como teloneros de los punkis cristianos, MXPX.

La verdad es que tras ver el dvd en directo que editaron hace unos años, no estaba seguro si me iba a gustar tanto verlos en directo como esperaba, pero no me defraudaron, realmente ese DVD, no les hace nada de justicia. Sin duda fue uno de los conciertos más divertidos y cañeros que he visto. Ojala vuelvan pronto. Por supuesto, me gustaron mucho más que los "cabezas de cartel".

Este es el video de Don´t Start a Band, uno de los singles de su último disco, el que ha inspirado el nombre de este blog.



Y no os perdáis la letra, la verdad es que se podría cambiar facilmente lo de Band por cómic, por ejemplo.

"Don't Start A Band"

Don't start a band
nobody wants to hear nobody understands
don't start a band
you'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a band oh yea yea yea
I hate to ruin the magic
I hate to kill the dream but once you've been behind the scenes then you'll know just what I mean
you might think that's its cool to get up on stage and play rock and roll from your heart and soul but no one shows up and your songs all suck and there's no applause and no flying cars
no girls will scream for you and no ones gonna stay in love with you

Don't start a band no body wants to hear nobody understands don't start a band you will be so damn terrible they'll all think your shitty
don't start a band oh yea yea yea' cause you wont get paid and you won't get laid

and even if you make it all the way to MTVI don't think you could take it
all the bullshit and the greed everyone is so fake when they shake you hand and they kiss your ass 'cause then they get cash and the business end will turn every friend to an enemy oh you will see they'll turn their their backs and they'll be gone faster than can say 'what did I do wrong'

Don't start a band no body really cares nobody understands Don't Start a Bandyou will sign your lives away and then you'll be working for the man don't start a band oh yea yea yeayour message will get lost you'll get double crossed
and if you that the joy of playing
will keep you going through the years
wait till you poor and frustrated
and the fun just disappears
nobody cares what you have to say
and noes gonna listen anyways rock and roll will bring you down
and it will kick you while your on the ground
don't start a banddon't even try you will regret it yea
don't start a band
you'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a bandoh yea yea yea
so just give up now
I'll show you how
Don't start a Band [x4]
