I first heard Carter in 92 when 1992 THE LOVE ALBUM came out and binned the tape a few months laterIn late 97 I bought the album again and it felt like I'd just heard it for the first time I then went out and bought every Carter Album madethere is something in Carter for everyonebut most people won't listen to anything that isn't trendyor if they haven't been told to listen to it by people like the writers of NME

"Internet Connection Sharing" - can one of ILX's technical gurus explain this one to me?
As far as I can tell your story is exactly the same as mine (didnt like them then did) except you like every single thing they did and I like some of it. All this NME-reading-sheep stuff is a bit rich too - how do you think 95% of Carter's fans back then first heard about them?
"i think the pop chart will justify my point" - but Carter were IN THE POP CHART!

Do you Slate every band and solo artist?
"Internet Connection Sharing" = 2 Computers on one broadband connection both are entirly seperate except they share the same ip address
NME started slating Carter and people stopped listening plus pissed up people reminissing ruined live Carter gigs as all they could do was to shout "You fat bastard" and demand every song to be Sheriff Fatman or Shoppers' Paradise
Bands only get famous and stay famous as long as the press say they are any good when the press turns thats when the bands fall

The thing is I don't think my article was slating Carter. It was saying that some of the stuff they did was good and some of it was rubbish. I wrote it more as a DEFENCE of Carter than anything else. OK "with friends like these who needs enemies" but my intention was just to be honest about how I felt about the band hearing them now. FWIW I stopped listening before NME started slagging them off - the 1992 stuff did nothing for me at the time.

That sounds so 1992...which makes sense, since you're stuck on a silly band who no-one has cared about since then.

**pissed up people reminissing ruined live Carter gigs as all they could do was to shout "You fat bastard" and demand every song to be Sheriff Fatman or Shoppers' Paradise**
Sadly this often results when pissed up people *reminiss*.

Like clockwork toys wind them up and watch them goBut you lot just aren’t any funYou barely have any real points and all you can do is take the piss because of a few spelling mistakesHow sad is that?Do you keep a dictionary and a thesaurus up your arse along with your head?
And you lot can’t even understand that Internet Connection Sharing does mean that 2 people can post messages on a message board from different computersNow that must prove that you all are a set of sad bastards

Falling-On-A-Bruise: At least I had some to start with.
Everyone else: Ignore me, as I've said before I have a morbid curiosity with this type of thread. It's something halfway between watching a car crash, and reading 'Disgusted of Hemel Hempstead' letters.
I'll try and stop my trollery, but HE STARTED IT!

- I'm not sure they'd be that keen on the original article either.- One of them actually replied on the thread neva-loved-elvis linked to.
― Tom (Groke), Wednesday, 16 October 2002 22:08 (twenty-three years ago)
electric sound of jim - Les Carter had read that article before I'd seen it and had already posted his comments on his siteI would have thought that he wouldn't give a shit how his fans defended his old band but that is best left for him himself to comment on
you all seem to be taking this thing seriouslywith your sad fixations on little points because you don’t really have anything to sayyou just need to spout some reply about bad spelling and other wank pointswhilst thinking you are superior because you know where to put a full stop or know how to spell reminisce Well thank fuck there are people in the world like you I need a laugh and your my jokeI have already said once that this thread is pointlessit's just something to do to pass half an hour
at the end of the day I dont give a shit about your opinionsalthough I do accept yours differ from mine and that you are entitled to themI started this thread to cause a stir through boredomand at 82 total replies it may have workedyou seemed like the kind of people who would demand that your right
I do kinda hope this thread lives a bit longer though
oh and the "neva-loved-elvis" bit was fantastic it was so brilliant I might even change my user name to it next time

Fruitbat was once asked in a interview
Who are Carter fans?
He replied
"Carter fans are brave, fierce, stubborn people who refuse to be dictated to by fashion or common sense."
even I would agree with that
No offence was intended by any of my posts and I doubt anyone cared enough to be offended

Hey-ho - no-one's gonna bite that. Shame. I reckon those two utter lads were having a bubble. Tom - Did I get this right - are you an NME hack? Did you really slate the Stones in print? Not when they were in their pomp you fucker! But the fact that it was "people like you who nearly distroyed Carter in the first place" [classic] is thine redemption.
