Re: arctic monkeys...

To clarify: I always said I thought they sounded like they could be commercially successful. I just didn't think they sounded very good.

Re: arctic monkeys...

mmm. i wasn't having a dig at anyone (i don't know what anyone said about arctic monkeys on here in the first place cos to be honest i never read the threads). just saying that, y'know, it's pretty cool.

and cos i can, i've spied on where people have bought tickets from, and most of them are londoners, rather than the band hiring a coach from sheffield.

so that's 'rad'.

Re: arctic monkeys...

And now we have a 'similar taste' rating of 0.05035450. Lucky we both like BoC or else it'd be worse.

Re: arctic monkeys...

They played in Manchester last week, but I couldn't go coz it was a friends birthday, and he doesn't even know what music is. Am now gutted, if only for indier-than-thou reasons; they're going to be popular, but I dont think they're all that great.

Re: arctic monkeys...

What a terrible band name.

Sorry- I wouldn't normally be so unconstructive but i'm in a bad mood.

Re: arctic monkeys...

I must agree, especially given their style...they'd be more suited to a "The..." name. Sound like a cartoon hiphop band at the moment.

Re: arctic monkeys...

That sounds like more fun.
Maybe they should be called Maximo Ferdinand!

Re: arctic monkeys...

Good idea, but The Maximo Ferditines is nearer the mark I think...although I quite like what I've heard of them, I do find them incredibly derivative.

Re: arctic monkeys...

its said if you put a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters in a room they will eventually write the works of shakespeare. however, put four monkeys in a band and they cant even write a Razorlight b-side.

with dry wit like that i should be writing for DiS. anything Mike Diver can do i can do with thirty less commas.

Re: arctic monkeys...

Oh dear. They're such an apalling band. But I'll try not to get too worked up about it, if people wish to subject themselves to listening to them and claim they like it then fine, it's all derivative shite these days.

Re: arctic monkeys...

I don't really like what I've heard I gotta say. The Franz Futureparks Chieftines would be the best name I'd say :p
