BFTD Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 There's a lassie in Stirling who sets up with a wee karaoke machine and sings terrible versions of decent uptempo dance numbers to an acoustic backing track. f**k that shit. Learn to play a fucking instrument if you want my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Fast Eddie in Dundee has an interesting repertoire. Here’s a wee film about him. https://en-gb.facebook.com/FastEddieDundeeFilm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 So after the trend of teen boys with guitars in Glasgow we have now moved onto teens just singing over backing tracks. Buchanan St is basically a giant X Factor audition now and it's heavy shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Me and my mate once set up in Ashton Lane, must be about 20 years ago now, and started belting out some pink Floyd classics. Ten minutes in and some foreigners (Germans I guess) started pelting us with potatoes from an upstairs window shouting "zat is ze worst version of comfortably numb I have ever heard." Picked up our case, ran like f**k and never busked there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treat it as the X Factor and you are a judge, at work print off A4 pages with large red X on and start taking them with you to place next to their collection case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Saw a guy called Maximon on Buchanan St one day. Phenomenal to watch and listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Is the Slash guy still about on Buchanan Street? I think he genuinely thinks he really is Slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another fella who occasionally pops up playing Djent riffs to no backing track through a tiny amp. Pretty shite but like him as different from other pish.

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 There used to be a guy who wore a black kilt and pair of goth boots who played some kind of irish bagpipe on Buchanan street, he was fucking awful, played the same pish all day. I completely agree re the wee fannies who have the microphones and amps set up to play ed sheeran pish, back in my day if you werent loud enough too fucking bad. Ed sheeran, George Ezra or Coldplay then no money from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long has this sort of thing been going on for? It was surreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 There used to be some guy in Ayr high street who used to do shite raps over hip hop beats while wearing the green mask from the Jim Carrey film The Mask. He disappeared for a while then reappeared pretending to be a statue. He was arrested two weeks ago for putting a lollypop down a 15 year old girls top.

I don't know, but it later emerged that he is Eastern European on Facebook which led to some proper head's gone Schemie single mother Brexiteers declaring that they voted for Brexit to stop this kind of thing happening.
