Arctic Monkeys snub Bowie @ Bowery Ballroom?

Now I know why they call him the chameleon of the rock.Those bastards blind MONKEYS!!!

too funny BV...love the top 7 responses...spot on mate!

LAME

I think No. 7 should be "Who are the Arctic Monkeys?" Sarcasm never goes over well on the web.

The Arctic Monkeys suck

Clap Your Hands suck Arctic Monkey dick.

Stroke my Arctic Monkey with your Clap Hand

Every Arctic Monkey song seems decent until you listen to the underdeveloped lyrics. That sinks this HOT band du jour. Pass

They are too collegiate.

Arctic monkeys have given me a reason to not kill myself!!!

Will trade yeah yeah yeahs tickets at Maxwells for the second strokes show at hammerstein...give me a holla.

#8) Arctic Monkeys are probably like the best thing to ever come out of the UK!!!!!!111

What about Number 8, my personal all time favorite all-purpose comment:

They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO over.

I just want to know why so many music blogs seem to peddle the crap bands that have already been overhyped by NME and why so many bloggers seem to have only gotten really into bands like two years ago and appear to lack the historical context with which to judge the merits of these new bands. Instead we find bands like the Arctic Monkeys and Editiors being showered with hyperbolic praise for being "stunning." Are most music bloggers just really young or am I too old or is it a little bit of both?

Dude, that's one long sentence. I don't pay attention to hype, I listen to music. It always comes down to that. Now, excuse me, I have to get my books from my locker before I head to gym class.

hype!

ditto musicsnobbery...sans the book comment of course. i've got nap time coming up :)

More Jose Gonzalez!

Guys, I'm a sad teenager living in a sad small town and I love the Arctic Monkeys because they speak to me loneliness and despair! Stop making fun! Wankers.

This post is something Pitchfork would do.

Who the fuck are the Artic Monkeys?

And secondly, why do they have such a crap name?

i feel like the biggest loser when i even play their music. i'd rather listen to dick cheney's ass.

I just don't get it.

why do you need books for gym class?

Why don't you just rename this site Arctic Monkeys?

Arctic Monkey's are badass

Arctic Monkeys prove that this January is not only boring but those fortunate enough to be alive are reaching for something, anything to take their minds off of the state of this planet. Have you heard the latest about Brad and Angelina?? Same difference.

Who the fuck are the Arctic Monkeys?

They actually have a song called this, believe it or not.

At one point in the inteview Nic Harcourt is clearly trying to get them to tell the story about making Bowie move back, but they weren't biting...

Clap the Arct...awww, nevermind.

they are a very poor band with one good song.

I'm english *gasp* and I know they suck. One-hit wonder taken further...and never should have. It's like The Village People all over again. :p

Stupid american fools

Maybe they have a shit band name, maybe you don't like their music, but not everyone can sell 360,000 discs in only one week, you must admit it.

I'm english and I would like to apologise for all the crappy bands we send you overhyped by NME arctic monkeys kaiser chiefs editors etc give me yyys clap your hands rapture or interpol anyday

The Arctic Monkeys are the worst band I have ever seen live. Just saw 'em tonight at the 9:30 club in DC. Unbelievable how many people were there for that lousy, overpriced show. If I had actually paid to get in I would have been really pissed. They should stop making "music" immediately. Serious.

i love the people on here, who say they hate arctic monkeys in an attempt to be different, why? just admit you like the fucking band and get over it, they are awesome.. and lets face it, none of us could write lyrics as good as they do, and considering 3 years ago none of them could play guitar or drum, theyre pretty fucking good in my book

it aint theyre fault theres so much hype. they dont milk every opportunity like every other band, theyre all about playing good gigs and good music, if u can tell me a band that plays better live than them, then id love to hear it. go on the lads!

Arcade Fire plays better live

The Arctic Monkeys are only big because they arrived just in time for the media to herald the internet as the new thing when it comes to promoting music. If they were about two years ago everyone would have told them to go home and learn something new instead of regurgitating the same old industrial rock tripe that comes out of mainstream England (I'm Irish by the way). Try out the Coral, who although not being great, are better than that tripe or the Basement.

arcitc monkeys rock.
end of story.

ps. whoever made this site...
remove it. i feel embarrased for you that you're so pathetic and sad in your little corner writing shit about the best band ever (who has talents) when i dont see your fucking face on any magazines or you playing anything half-decent. go to the bathroom, look at yourself in the mirror and be reminded about who you are and where you stand before dissing a band that very likely would be REALLY succesful in future (more than they are now!). and chances are if you're dissing them you're probably not much of a looker. alex turner<33. im out

The only thing I can credit the Arctic Monkeys with is creating a phonomenon entirely out of pretension and marketing campaigns on the part of their friends NME and those other bullshit magazines and tv channels.

Not that I'm personally a fan, the Coral are ok.And the Arcade Fire suck.

these lads are still better than any of you weenies that talk the shizzie . about them.where r they and where r u ....My dog farted ...damn

OK, there are millions of bands who can play better live than the arctic monkeys. Also, just because a band is all over the front cover of your magazine etc doesn't mean that they're a good band. Plus I've been playing guitar and piano for two and a half years, and I'm a much better musician than any of them.

ok, they're not totally shit but its pretty low level stuff and a complete joke compared to the best music humanity or even sheffield in the last 20 years has come up with, i for one refuse to believe that this is the best thing this entire generation has to offer, something must be wrong, we better produce something good soon or we'll be like the crap 80s generation (mabye its 'cos they are the twats who run the uk music industry!)

not too bad
nice!! i can't express how much I love IT, oh yeah, the nation are pretty good too.

hey arctic monkeys, are you talentless indie fags?
yes, oh daim
