The Have

Why don't the Have have a page on here? They were very awesome at the Big Day Out and their new single Right On rocks!!!
He should have a page for them.

:) :) :)

Forums: NZ Music,

Awww I was quite dissapointed with them, they were like The D4 were a couple of years ago but not as cool.

Are garage rock bands the new boy bands? Stand by for a ridiculous infulx, radio saturation, and (eww) onstage dancers, shorter, less rock names with more numbers in them.

The Have are just that.

Lets not get started on The Have.

I only like the song!!!....when i said they rocked at the bdo, i didn't actually see them as such, but i heard them for a bit and they played Right On so i liked them....

Still, all NZ bands should have a page...

The Have are all still in high school right? They all seem to know how to play their instruments and they are playing the style of music that is popular at the moment. They can rock on with what they have, and get a lot of fans... as they age, their music will mature and they'll become great...

Hopefully... It has happened before...

I think they have just finished school

Hi guys, i thought "the have" were ok. I think a little more variation wouldnt go astray. How ever they are the best band to ever win the rockquest.

they are however the only real pure rock band to win the rockquest

The Have pretty much had the rockquest won before the finals due the doco being made and the way a rock and roll band could slip into the current climate and ride on the tails of others. Its bandwagoning at its most horrific. But the band are not guilty of this as they are just doing what they feel like. Its the others that are simply trying to manufacture a sensation and some public success.

I thought The Have rocked!!! They do sound very similar to The D4 but thats all good cos thats what i like (and obviously a lot of ppl cos THe D4 are pretty big). I so agree that The Have should have a page and so need a website (or do they already have one).

If anyone knows if they have a website can you write it in here.
Thanx

Rock n Roll ppl

Pretty much anyone who wants a page here can get one... they just need to ask.

Then if we do we might as well give every other rockquest band one and rename this site "www.rockquestnzmusic.com

well they won it...and they're from z...so i think that qualifies them as a NZ band don't u...
i reckon they're really good, and they get my support!

well they won it...and they're from nz...so i think that qualifies them as a NZ band don't u...
i reckon they're really good, and they get my support!

yeah totally agree with you tiffany!
if they were good enough to win the rockquest! they deserve all the sucess from that!

Right On!

:) :) :)

hehe that was a pun of sorts....:P

Lets make The Have earn a page first

or does a rockquest band with one single really qualify to have a page on this site?

To 'qualify' to get a page on this site, I'm pretty sure the band has to send in a bio, mp3s etc. Look in the help section? For The Have to get a page, they should sign up for the artists section. It's not the crews responsibility to go find every NZ band & make sure they're on.

Tru. Very tru. Well without actually knowing the band, i realise i can't actually tell them to get a page...but they should... :p If i ever bump in to them...i'll make sure i'll tell them to do so! I think it would be cool to have one.

:) :) :)

//It's not the crews responsibility to go find every NZ band & make sure they're on.

Exactly and The Have have better things to do than go round making pages for themselves on the net.

they about as appealing
as when i discover my hemroids have split and i need to pay $24.95 to get them fixed,

ouch and thats also the price of a discounted cd

//they about as appealing as when i discover my hemroids have split and i need to pay $24.95 to get them fixed,

You must have really appealing spliting hemeroids then! :S

Fuk u all! dont hassle the shit out of the Have!!!! theyre fuken awsome! scuse my language but i think u can all go to hell! cept Datsun_Girl. shes bout the only one giving 'em praise! Rock on the Have!!!!

ha, nice

i'm all for The Have, i think theyre fuckin awesome!!!
People should should f****n slaggin them off!!!

umm, whats f****n ??

lol what i meant to say was STOP f****n slagging them off...:P opps

ahhhhh it was late.

you don't need to censor here

//i'm all for The Have, i think theyre fuckin awesome!!!
People should should f****n slaggin them off!!!

There not worth slagging off, We wouldn't flatter out time with them. But like it goes in that Rubicon song to sum up The Have "Yeah Yeah just another rockstar"

hympth.

well that wasn't censored

they are new zealands Hanson,
we should eradicate them like the insects they are,
before they spawn any more vomit

Ocphuman and AchillesHeel - the Have's lead guitarist/singer has more musical talent in his knob cheese than either of you will in your lives.
Stop bandwagoning.

//Stop bandwagoning.

And The Have aren't? It doesn't seem purely coincidence they just happen to share genres with The Datsuns and The D4. It's fine they are obviously playing music they love but they don't seem anything original. And they list Led Zeppelin as one of their main influences along with other "The" titled bandwagon rock bands such as The D4, The Strokes, The Datsuns. If someones bandwagonning its most the rock bands that have ever existed that were heavily influenced by Zeppelin.

//they are new zealands Hanson

isn't that evermore?

no offence to the brothers from fielding

//they are new zealands Hanson

no, thats evermore..

the have are not shit at all. Give the guys a break, why slag off some kids for having some fun, this is not some group created by a record company to earn a buck out of the retro rock phaze, it's a group of guys from wanganui who like rock'n'roll, got a band together, won the rockquest and recorded a song. Shit, if you're going to spend time slagging off bands, slag off some bands who deserve it.

Bands change their musical influences and styles more then they change girlfriends at that age.

Do not give the band any shit, if there is anything smelly about this, blame their record label/manager.

ha,ha andoru..... you the man. we are the same, yet completely different.

No New Zealand's answer to Hanson would be The Ross Brothers from i think, dunedin?

whatever happened to the Ross Brothers......andoru, didn't you used to be the ross brothers? or were you in some other crap dunedin band:)

The ross brothers are from oamaru. I think that hit a brick wall though.
No sorry i wasn't in the ross brothers as my last name is wilson.

Poor old ross brothers. They were set up for greatness even signed to universial. Then vanished. maybe one of them died? maybe thats going to happen to evermore next? or the have? or ejector. just kidding

Damn - no one took the bait!

I was hoping you might take offence to a stranger making personal comments about your talent when he/she doesn't know U from a bar of soap. Like yours about The Have. U know, the guys who are really young and making big steps and therefore need to be brought down a peg or two by you.......SAD.

Fact is, as far as I am aware, The Have have been playing rock for years. "Dirty" rock, as many label it, is npt new or old, it is just the cyclical movement of muic and its hybrid forms - "There's nothing new under the sun" - sure - but there's usually nothing exactly the same either.

So many cliche, automatic response comments about anyone doing well is also nothing new - it's a hybrid form of the tall-poppy syndrome...and when's all said and done, it basically leaves your mind lying on the treadmill, fag in hand, half-asleep, trying to remember a time when it had independent thought.

If you could take the elitism out of rock, you'd deserve to win a Nobel Prize.

You'll never make it all the way through an art museum without hearing someone say, "Pff. A five year old could do better." It's human nature.

Yeah, followed by the inevitable "hmph, obviously *someone* doesn't know much about *true* art...I'll bet you even like the pop churned out by the Royal Academy. pff!"

...existential....abstracts....bleaaggh....deconstructionist...postmodern....

I can poke fun. I are one.

I don't think anyone tugged on to the bait on your hook because they honestly don't care about The Have.

//I was hoping you might take offence to a stranger making personal comments about your talent when he/she doesn't know U from a bar of soap.

If everytime i someone say that i'd be a millionaire by now. And besides you've never heard Ocphumans band i think, Orkid.

//Like yours about The Have.

As much as i hate to say this The Have are tight musicians, they play well together and they seem to have fun but their "mass amount" of talent isn't always enough to sway people to like them. I'd take listening to PJ Harvey's downgraded sound to The Haves "loug guitars"

//U know, the guys who are really young and making big steps and therefore need to be brought down a peg or two by you.......SAD.

Well i'm sure even you have brought down bands other people liked that were on a level just like the Have or higher

Nope.
