Statue_of_Liberty Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hey lovely MFCers There are two reasons why I'm writing what I'm writing: 1. I think Martin's thread should be on the first side of this forum, he's worth it 2. I'm constantly looking for new videos on youtube including a speaking Martin Well, I found this here: and I quite like it. But I've got a problem: from the moment on in which Martin is starting to talk I couldn't understand one ore word I just got Mika's bad word Maybe it's because I'm no native speaker, but maybe it's because of the background noise. Anyway, do you understand what they are talking? I'm definitely too curious for this world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiibet Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Oh, Martin is lovely L-O-V-E-L-Y. And Mika introduced him as David in Dublin!! Poor Martin!! It was hilarious I wanted to scream " I LOVE you, Maaaartin!!!!" I didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 It seems to me that Martin has put himself into the background. I did speak to him in Amsterdam and he was as friendly as always but I only saw him from the car in Blackpool and in Dublin he didn't seem to look out from the stage at all and I didn't see him leave. Pity as he is very personable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruth Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Martin got tangled up on stage in Dublin. He had to get back from the can drums and pick up his guitar to start playing in double quick time. He was so tangled, he had to start off on one knee and a roadie had to come on and sort him out! I'm surprised I noticed as I felt I kept my eyes on Mika all through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, do you understand what they are talking? I'm definitely too curious for this world Okay, As Freddie said he's speaking in a very broad Scottish accent () which makes it very difficult to hear... What I can make out: .... for a second. I have to try and stop this guitar from feeding back! It's really really annoying... ... It's really pissing me off... Maybe it could do with a little bit of duct tape.. I just need one bit... That's all I can make out... not only is there the crowd to deal with, Martin's accent is really broad there.. Bit of both I think , Im at work so cant really listen too loud .. but he really is using his natural Scottish broad accent .. really comes across That in itself can be hard .. I love it! I could listen to him talk all day... I probably won't understand half of what he says, but anyways... Oh, Martin is lovely L-O-V-E-L-Y. And Mika introduced him as David in Dublin!! Poor Martin!! It was hilarious I wanted to scream " I LOVE you, Maaaartin!!!!" I didn't Awwww, poor Martin! It seems to me that Martin has put himself into the background.

I've had a lot of practice understanding Scottish accents cause there's a Scottish man in the pipe band I play in... Besides that, I looooove the Scottish accent ... And yay for more Martin fans! I've been such a slacker lately, I've been spending a lot of time in Jimmy's thread! I wouldn't worry about when you speak to him, he usually doesn't speak with such a strong accent. I was speaking to him in Sydney after the concert and he was very easy to understand ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 After saying how Martin (and Cherise) whilst still very friendly, seem to have taken a step back and aren't looking to interact with the fans - leaving it to Jimmy and iMMa, Martin was 'home' last night in Manchester and had his car parked right by the queue at the stage door. And he was very chatty, even though he needed to get off as it was late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee-Ann Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 One thing I have to say: I' so happy that Martin is still in the band, from the beginning till now. A gig without "Martin on guitar!" wouldn't be the same. He has a lot of charism and fun on stage. It's a pity that Luke is gone, well I have arranged with Dave...
