I went to a gig where the charlatans were headlining and Milburn were the support, the main reason I went was for Milburn but there was only a hand full of people who were singing along to Milburn and most of the people didn't know who they were. but you can expect that as the were there to see the charlatans not Milburn. Courteeners are fantastic but still massive names that everyone into music knows about. Im sure one day they will tho!!! </p> http://www.thecourteeners.org.uk/messageboard/topic/newcastlestereophonics#post-55 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 17:02:08 +0000 mrsliamfray 55@http://www.thecourteeners.org.uk/messageboard/ <p>This was the worst crowd EVER!!!

</p> http://www.thecourteeners.org.uk/messageboard/topic/courteeners-news#post-27 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 01:34:50 +0000 MrJingles 27@http://www.thecourteeners.org.uk/messageboard/ <p>I was just gonna say that The Courteeners are rubbish, but i'm more articulate now i'm a bit older so here goes. Basically i'm a manchester lad and i usually champion most music that comes out of my hood, but everything that's being said about The Courteeners is not true. It's all just hype and lazy journalism, IF you know anything about that. If you do then good, if you don't then maybe you should read more (tony wilson RIP). Anyway read these here things:</p> <p>1. They are nothing like Oasis and will NEVER be as good or as big as them. The only similarity between the two is that the lead singers have the same name and both have silly haircuts.</p> <p>2. They don't sound like The Smiths, they don't have Johnny Marr's inimitable guitar playing for a start, although most Courteener fans won't have a clue what i'm talking about as they're too young to know about The Smiths. Also Liam just wants to be Morrissey, and become a poet by just "writing songs about words in the dictionary" - his words not mine kids, just read their NME interview if you don't believe me. That just shows how stupid and thieving he is if he has to use a dictionary to write lyrics.</p> <p>3. He also wants to be Pete Docherty, and incidentally, the only band that they DO sound like is the Libertines, or at least a cheap copy. This is the one and only reason that they're getting any attention because the public have been crying out for another libertines since they split, apart from me that is. And believe me, they'll last just about as long if they're lucky.</p> <p>4. Sadly that's it, as i can't talk about The Courteeners anymore without feeling sick, but i think i've given you the idea already. And yes, The Courteeners ARE indeed rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish, rubbish.......... </p> http://www.thecourteeners.org.uk/messageboard/topic/courteeners-in-the-sun#post-26 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:33:21 +0000 guesty 26@http://www.thecourteeners.org.uk/messageboard/ <p>In todays Sun newspaper Liam (the courteeeners, not Oasis Liam) says "there is no reason why we (the courteeners) cannot be as big as oasis."</p> <p>Yes there is ....</p> <p>You aint a s good as them !!! </p>
