The trainwreck that is Corey Feldman.

This is just what a bad pop song sounds like from a bedroom producer with stars in his eyes. Its just if he wasnt already famous it would end up in some labels 'do not call back ' demo bin.

Reminds me of SYNTHMAN, for those that were around these parts back then

Blast from the batshit crazy past.

I think he was going for a Future Islands sort of thing, but just couldn't pull it off.

I remember watching that on Later and been unable to get past the dad-dancing. But watching it now ... Bloody hell what a great song that is. Off to iTunes I go go 

Really? I loved the performance, I could watch him all night but yeah, mega tune.

+1 - one of my favourite songs in ages

Great delayed bass solo too

Reminds me of D4nny a bit actually

That is awesome, I reckon Calvin Harris should remix it, sure fire smash hit (or something that sounds like smash hit)

It happened

octatonic

Oh man, death by autotune.

The only flaw being Corey Feldman used to be talented.

Was he though?
He was in a few teen movies- he wasn't exactly reading King Lear.

Goonies and Lost Boys are some classic material. Anyone who says otherwise is plain wrong

They are perfectly fine for what they are- but is Corey Feldman a talented actor or musician?
Well, definitely not the latter- I'm not sure he is the former either.
He was a teen idol- essentially the Justin Bieber of the day.
He was popular, sure- but talented?

I've got every sympathy for the chap- sounds like he had a dreadful upbringing and some truly horrible things happened to him- this is nothing to do with that.

Synthman's greatest achievement was starting threads about catching his missus in the act with another man in order to promote his music.

I rest my case

I don't think I'd be on the level if I'd been molested by Michael Jackson

hugbot

He's adamant Michael never touched him, which considering his history and that he's open about discussing it is one of the things that persuades me MJ wasn't a pedo. 

holnrew

My mistake, he was molested a ton though

He was great at what he did in those movies though, often when a film calls for kids or teenagers, they're just shit and ruin what could be a good/great film.

Lost Boys, Stand By Me and more recently Stranger Things are ones off the top of my head that had excellent young actors which help make them.

I've not seen his later stuff so can't comment.

Wisdom for Stand By Me, a film that has one of my favourite ever lines ....

He'll put his name and voice on to any old shite these days in fairness though.
