Dad upset as Vines unravel
The father of Vines singer Craig Nicholls has expressed concern for his son after a shambolic gig by the band turned violent on Thursday night.
The Vines, tagged as one of the world's hottest young rock groups, had been booked to perform a low-key show for Triple M listeners at the Annandale Hotel.
During the gig, the notoriously erratic Nicholls becaame irritated and started blaspeming, screamed profanities and accused the audience of being "sheep."
He later bacame embroiled in a fracas with a female fan and another with the band's bassist, Patrick Matthews.
Matthews walked off stage after one song and refused to return.
"I'm always worried about my kids," Nicholls' father, Terry, a former musician, told The Sunday Telegraph.
"I don't get to see Craig as much as I would like, as the band is always on the road."

i edited the shitty stuff that triple m director said.

and craig wasn't doing well when those megan pics were taken. he'd lost a lot of weight and was suffering from lack of sleep (jet lag had plagued him the last several weeks because they were flying all over europe and asia before getting back home). not to say he wasn't happy to meet fans at that melbourne show, but physically and mentally he was exhausted and in desperate need of a break.

on a much, much happier note - he's supposed to be the best he's ever been now - healthy and ready to record!!

^ I never get tired of hearing that Craig is doing well at the moment .

here are more pics from the w&g show in december...y'know, looking at ryan in these - or should i say, cousin it - i'm wondering what he'll look like next time we see him. neither of them seemed to be cutting their hair...








ryan, are you in there?

´he looks like conor oberst on this one

that's too funny, ryan has found out he can hide behind his hair if he has stage fright

yeah I never get tired of hearing about how well Craig is doing either

lovely pictures everyone!!

HELLO , I´M FROM BRAZIL. MY FIRST TIME IN THE FORUM AND I WANT A PICS
ACTUAL , NEW OF THE VINES. WHO HAVE? I ´M SO VERY CRAZY FOR THE BAND
AND ALREADY HAVE TIME THAT I DON´T THEM SEE.

this isn't new but i don't think its been posted before, hope not lol. welcome to the forum btw, yeah u won't be alone everyone's pretty much obsessed with the vines here

craig is going bald...... (or bold ? ) and ryan is gettin too much hair

I doubt it, but the thought is funny/horrifying

serios !! look at the left side of craig's hair !

I think that's just his hairline
look at the other pics from then, his hair looks normal. I think it's just the way it's parted...?

ya but it still looks like he's bald..

craig is NOT balding. sometimes he just has fine, limp hair.

i don't think so, i find he has too much hair to be bald, it's just his forehead

Sorry to interrupt the bald thing....but i have a question....is that one craig???

I dunno that picture of him coming out of court kinda looked like he had a bit of a receding hairline

but the way his hair has always been cut you don't really see his hairline so he might have just always had a high hairline

normaly yes, i found it as well once

my hairline is high at the corners...like I have little short hairs in the corners of my forehead if you know what I mean. So it's not flattering to pull my hair straight back. I think it's probably his natrual hair line cause mine is kinda like that (the court pic)

same here
I either have to have bangs or part my hair in the middle

if I pull it back when I don't have bangs I leave the front part of my hair down

okay, so who's gonna photoshop craig as a baldie so we can prepare ourselves for his future?

I think allie already did that back in the day

he looks like a conehead.

lol
he needs to keep his hair

he can do a combover quite nicely.



see? limp. greasy. still hot.

he pulls it off well. he's almost as good with hair as Donald Trump!

hahahaha
nah Craig has some of the best hair in rock

donald trump's hair is a monster

yep, some of the best hair in rock.

thank you for put this pic, it´s so cool.
I was always in the forum waiting for news. kisses vineririff.

Man, I had the weirdest dream ever last night. Well I had two dreams but one I've kind of had before...



Anyway, my friend, sister, and I went to the mall here in Cornwall(But it didn't look like the mall here, it looked like the Four Seasons mall in Greensboro NC. My head is fucked up.) and well my sister hates the Vines but all of a sudden there's this big group of people standing in one spot and me being the curious idiot that I am went over to see what was going on and the Vines just so happend to be playing a mall show... It was fucked up. Then my sister started yelling "THE VINES SUCK! PLAY SOMETHING GOOD!!" And I pushed her over the little glass fence thingy that there is on the edge of the second story so people don't fall and die.... Well I pushed her off it.


There was more to the dream but I'd rather not say the rest.

Do tell!

I'd really rather not.

lol
he has that high hairline in that pic too

so I guess that answers that question

thats very cute. he didnt change much though just the hair is different

Every time I see that picture I'm like...wow what a cute kid. He was seriously adarable . he does look incredably young....he is supposedly 15 in that picture....and in Ryans he looks way older than Craig. I just think he looks absoultely adorable

almost makes me feel guilty for porning him up... but only almost...

^ Speaking of... when can we expect the next installment Jen?

poor little craig! so innocent......maybe

umm this probably isn't the place to ask but does anyone know why pat didn't want the vines to play 1969 live anymore?

i didn't know he didn't want to play it?
maybe because this song was written by David

yeah thats what i thought too
but in one of the threads ages ago someone mantioned it so i wanted a definit answer maybe wonky tooth will know?

Answer: Patrick is crabby.

oh karli you that chin makes him do things he doesn't what to pats chin owns........................................coughpatcough

I haven't made fun of Patrick in forever, I think it's time for one or two comments.

Back on topic(wow, I'm usually the one to go start the off-topic-ness ):

thats a real purdy picture
i feel a little dirty makeing fun of pat but he's shiting me with the is he isn't he so on him ........but i still like him and his chin

sorry sorry .. who's david ? ex vines drum player right ?

^ Yup.

I wonder what's going on this this picture, it looks like Craig is wiggling around in a car with Patrick(possibly giving birth due to the expression on his face) and then doing the New Kid's On The Block dance. Either that or he's trying to get out of the car because Patrick is smelly.


I think this picture goes with it too:

another picture of Craig in a car:
