I love them but i recognize that i don't know anything about them.. i mean name, age, nationality... any help?

Hmmm... well I'm aweful on specifics, but they're all in their really early 20s (ok, seriously, since when is Hugh only a year older than me? that's hysterical)... And from Brighton.

 

So, names.

 

kookspari3.jpg

 

From left:

 

Hugh Harris//Lead Guitar..... Eiffel Tower//Prop.... Paul Garred//Drums..... Luke Pritchard//Vocals+guitar

 

And there used to be Max, on bass... but he's apparently left the band and is now being replaced. And I do not speak the name of the man who has replaced him :smug:

 

 

(plus I forgot his name................... oh my god LMFAO)

 

hope that helps ;)

brighton? country?

 

thanks for help... so they are as old as arctic monkeys... and they also are looking for a new member because one of them left the band.. too many similarities....

 

so both bands will be the new beatles/rolling stones.. mods/rockers...

 

don't you think so?

Sorry 'bout that, Brighton, England ;)

 

 

hmmmm... dunno! I've never heard too many similiarities with Arctics music and the Kooks but then again, you're kind of right there! I don't hear many similarities with the Beatles and the Stones! ;) Only time will tell.... but that is a good comparison, yeah!

Actually, not looking anymore. Pete is permanent now isn't he? :sick: I really don't like him.

 

 

And good comparison, might end up that way...

Yeah, pretty sure he's permanent... :sick: :\ eeeeeeckkkk I don't like him either. Don't know why, maybe that's not fair of me but WHAT THE HELL :(

Well... for starters he looks like the dude from Fall Out Boy and people that look like that can't fucking be trusted :laugh3:

And it's a bit like when you break up with someone or you're trying to get over someone isn't it? You love/like the person but people keep telling you to get over it and move on, find someone new and it's fucking hard to take someone new into your life and heart when you already had someone amazing there...

That made sense to me okay lmao

Oh, and there's just to many fucking bands that change members these days...

I get ya, Tea, I get ya ;) Totally agree, as well.

 

 

 

It's too hard sticking together lately... it's depressing.

Shut it guys!! HE ISNT PERMANENT!!!!!!! :bigcry: :bigcry:

 

Fuck. Yeah, pretty much I'll never accept you-know-who or get over Max :\

 

 

I wouldnt put the Arctics on the same category of The Kooks, but I guess since they are around similar ages and form part of the same generation well, comparisons are always at hand. Musically? no. But that's just me.

 

I've heard comparisons with Razorlight which is easier to identify I guess, but I just dont see it! Comparisons are just wrong pretty much :laugh4:

i do love the kooks. Listened to them ages ago but when they became really big I lost a bit of interest. But! shuffled right to them on my ipod the other morning and I'm back into the album! :0) It's just such a great album. Puts Arctic fuckin monkeys to shame!

Shut it guys!! HE ISNT PERMANENT!!!!!!! :bigcry: :bigcry:

 

Fuck. Yeah, pretty much I'll never accept you-know-who or get over Max :\

My interpretation of the comparison was less between the bands and more with the dynamic of them, like the Beatles being compared to the Stones. They're totally different bands, but they're coming to fame in the same generation, same ages and basically the same musical category ;) I can really see that, to an extent obviously.

 

If they both achieve that fame and success, well, I hope that comparison rings true! :D

 

Now which band will still be touring when they're 90.... :thinking: :laugh4:

:laugh4: :laugh4: Seriously, they never quit do they?! Love em :heart:

 

I cant see Alex touring until that age, Johnny's behavior wouldnt allow him to live that long and Luke...well I dunno really. Only time will tell.

LMFAO Johnny's behavior.

 

 

Yeah, I don't see Alex touring in 5, let alone 70. :laugh4: :rolleyes: whatever LMFAO

 

 

 

But hey, the Kooks... they're the kids to watch! :laugh4:

Lmfao. I couldnt describe Johnny's antics very well. Im word-challenged. Gimme a break, ok?!? I've only been speaking english for 5 years!

:uhoh:

 

 

But yeah, cant wait until they are considered "classic" or "oldies" :stunned:

God. We'll be so old then :wreck:

LMFAO that's ok, I just love how that made all these things pop into my head :laugh4: :uhoh: ?!?!?

 

 

whoa... don't want to think of THAT!

Dont blame me for what goes on in your head missy! :laugh4:

 

 

 

Oh no. Now my head is imagining things too.

Damn :\

LMFAO. Is that a good "damn" or.... :laugh4: haha

Both... :wink3:
