Arctic monkeys

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

The fastest selling debut album in history - 363 000 copies.

Anyone else think they sound like George Formby :twisted: :roll: :? :urff:

Tickets for their tour go on sale on Thursday.

Half a dozen bought, & then stuck on Ebay, would probably get you out to the US for one of the Sisters shows. :D

I hope the editor of the Daily Star is reading this. He's probably going to snap up Blast & Corleone for his new music review column.

They ARE wank, and they ARE pish, but seriously am I the only person who hears the music hall connection.

ah, but george formby was a consummate proffesional with an endearingly self-dprecating style and a chirpy buck-toothed grin that won him the hearts of the nation; arctic monkeys are just cunts.

@sisxbeforedawn -the horror of our generation however is that whereas our parents and grandparents were appalled at the godless cacophony and depravity of the music / fashion their offspring brought home, our kids are listening to such watered-down, insipid sanitisations of rock/metal/whatever that you feel sorry for them. nu metal -as i've said before - is a fine example of taking a notoriously in-your-face style of music and removing all the intensity, all the angst, all the raw power and leaving just a pale timid creature completely devoid of sex,drugs,and rock'n'roll. :urff: -nu-metal kids even wear flares -'nuff said.

Guess what?

I'm 22 years old, and I don't have a fcukin clue who these Arctic Monkey cnuts are. I'm too busy going to watch bands who last released a record the year I was born... :innocent: :oops: :notworthy:

So, give us the run down. Who, what, why? Who do they sound like, apart from George Fornby?

They do have one redeeming characteristic...

No other band's song would have sounded as funny when Choque started chanting it after the last chords of Burning From The Inside faded ;D
