We Love the Moffatts!!
But WHY??
"So many people out there call themselves fans. They only like us because they say we're "cute". We wish more girls (and guys) would take our music seriously."
-Scott Moffatt
I was reading that quote recently, and it made me think about WHY i love the Moffatts. Do we really love the Moffatts because they make great music? Or do we love them because they're cute guys? It's amazing what a few words can make you realize...
WHY we love the Moffatts...
THEY PLAY THEIR OWN INSTRUMENTS. Now that's talent. It's hard enough to play an instrument, but to play one while singing. They play them so well too! I mean, take Scott, ever heard him wail on his electric guitar? You know, those screaming guitar solos? It's amazing that he can play the electric and acoustic guitar so well!! Bob's drumming is just amazing! Never missing a beat. Ever watch his hands while he's drumming? Talk about rapid movement. You can't really hear Clint's bass as well, but he adds the soul to the music. Dave can really play on his keyboards!! You just don't hear Dave and Clint quite as clearly...but they've got the talent, no doubt.
THEY WRITE OR CO-WRITE A LOT OF THEIR SONGS. Sure, there's always the occasional song that they don't write, but hey, nobody's perfect. Writing songs ain't an easy thing to do, if it were, don't you think that every single band would be writing their own songs? Lots of bands just get music handed to them and they just sing it and play it.
THEY ACTUALLY PLAY LIVE. Some bands and singers get up on stage and lip-sync. Lip-sync! How cheap is that? If bands and singers lip-sync, how would we ever know if they really can sing? When the Moffatts get up on stage, it's all live. Their instruments and singing is all real, no lip-syncing here, no tapes playing in the background. REAL, LIVE, music.
THEY HAVE NO BACK-UP BAND. Some singers and bands have extra back-up guitarists, keyboards, or even drummers helping them play the music. So, would we ever know if the real band is ever playing? (Of course, this doesn't include the all vocal bands like Backstreet Boys, cuz they are singers mainly, not instrumentalists too.)The Moffatts are 4 guys on the stage, making music.
THE GUYS ARE GOOD-LOOKING. Yeah, but that's just a bonus, ain't it? Even if they're not good-looking, they've got the talent to back it up.
THEY CARE ABOUT THEIR FANS. There are some bands and singers out there that don't appreciate or care about the fans that they have. But these 4 guys do appreciate and care about their fans.
If you have something to add, or you want to express something email us and tell us! We'll post it up here so everyone will know and understand that the Moffatts aren't all about good looks.
