Oh my god! MONTHS after Autolight split up, their messgae board is still going!!!

Surely that shows the effect they had on people??!!

It also shows how jealous people were of this band- even after they split, they still get slated. If your band are so good then why aren't you usurping the name of Autolight through the music you play???

And if you're comfortable with your band, then why slate old bands who are no more now??? It's cuz you know that yr band don't measure up, really, isn't it???

To be honest, I agree with Neil on one of his posts above, or below, depending on which way the threads move. he's got a place in the sun and he's having a lovely time, and in the mean time Alexei and co have formed a new band to foist upon us. And they're gonna be pretty fucking good, so maybe yr band might better watch their backs (since that's what yr obviously afraid of..!)
