Sam Fender

[parttimer]

I liked him before. He seemed humble and down to earth. Then he went all super-Jawdee and comes across as arrogant and big headed now. Shame.

Pretty much my thoughts. When he was just creeping onto the scene, just seemed a young lad loving what was happening, came across great in interviews, some cracking early tunes such as 'Play God' and 'That Sound'. Then seemed to just go all 'professional Geordie' and a bit arrogant at times. Suppose fair enough with the way he's blown up almost overnight a couple of years ago - that's the way many go isn't it. Still like a lot of his music and think his new single is a belter even though a bit 'formula' music, but a proper catchy effort as most of his are.

I think he’s absolutely She-ite and wouldn’t open the curtains if he was playing in the garden the knars

That comparison ruined him as an artist with his own style.

Start doing some fast ones again and get rid of that f***ing saxophone.

The sax player looks like he stinks iirc.

 

[Boris Bear]

He’s very whiney and every song sounds the same

He'd definitely be sucking cock for baccy if he hadn't met Sammy.

 

[I'm Spartacus]

If he was decor he’d be woodchip painted magnolia. Beige uninspiring done to death shite.

 

[Big Jeff]

I like him.

There are some very small time posters slagging him off - it’s good to keep music and football separate.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Yet the youth love him. Not my cup of tea. His two decent songs are catchy but the rest leaves me cold. He is the hero for normal kids who think he has a message and is a brilliant musician. It’s sad sad times but no one can deny he isn’t outrageously popular.

If Sam Fender did that, I'm sure more would like him

Fair point mate.

No Sunderland supporter could attend a Sam Fender gig in Newcastle. It might be easier away from North East.

I don't quite understand this comment, but I like it.

I've seen him at the arena and got tickets for the December gig which was restricted to a local postcode ballot. His music is decent but not looking forward to the mag love in. They were singing toon toon and Shearer songs between his songs last time

I know lads who went to the arena gig just as he and the takeover were taking off. Said it was unbearable. Like being at a scum game.


The daft thing is, he'd be big without all that shit.

This thread isn't complete till someone says 'never heard of him'

He's plugging the void.

If he (or his people) have any sense they will distance him from it. He might not care though.

It’s because when he started out he didn’t make being a geordie a central point of his brand but now he’s gone big time he leans mega heavily into it- all very NUFC-y for my taste
