Track 5: They Turned Our Fookin' Chippy Into A Tapas Bar

I say they're really great. One of the best bands ever. And lovely people.

― Raw Patrick (Raw Patrick), Friday, 9 December 2005 01:19 (twenty years ago)

Are they the only band you've heard?

― Steev (Steev), Friday, 9 December 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'

You're the freshest, most innovative, most exciting young band to have emerged in the last 5/10/20/40* years.

Arthur Seaton: "Mam called me barmy when I told her I fell off a gasometer for a bet. But I'm not barmy, I'm a fighting pit prop that wants a pint of beer, that's me. But if any knowing bastard says that's me I'll tell them I'm a dynamite dealer waiting to blow the factory to kingdom come. Whatever people say I am, that's what I'm not because they don't know a bloody thing about me! God knows what I am."

oh well then

in that case

Are you able to behave in a manner not consistent with being a total prick or have you done the act for so long now that you've forgotten?

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 December 2005 11:27 (twenty years ago)

whatever RJG is, he's not a total prick

Well he's never managed to make a civil post in response to me yet.

Band with dreadful name releases album with dreadful name shock

― jz, Friday, 9 December 2005 11:46 (twenty years ago)

fuck all you haters I sawn the arctics on their last tour and their tearing up the nation! You are either with them or against them. They are a band that polarises opinions, and if you don't like them your OLD and should get out of the way now,m

― unique posterbot, Friday, 9 December 2005 11:47 (twenty years ago)

The arctics speak for the youth of britain and are no#t some bullshit hype band like all you tossers like. they are a genmuine grassroots band who have uniquely come up through the medium of the internet and i can see why all you hacks find that threatening, to be honest.

― not at all related to the last poster, Friday, 9 December 2005 11:51 (twenty years ago)

I quite like them, in a vague way.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Friday, 9 December 2005 11:54 (twenty years ago)

if you do not like the arctic monkeys you are of the lAME generatoin and not the AWESOME generatoin lol and you have no taste i nmusic i bet you like kanye SHIT and the Sugasux and are scared of ROCK when it has all the energy and vitalitie of what youre lives LACK and have lacked since the SEVENTIES ENDED. ICY SIMIAN PATROL FOREVER!

― sean gramophone (Sean M), Friday, 9 December 2005 11:58 (twenty years ago)

Actually, 'Mam Called Me Barmy' is a *much* better title, and I haven't even heard these guys yet.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Friday, 9 December 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

like Arctic Monkeys are the STEVE REICH of working-class smushhair discorock and THE BANDS YOU LIKE are so not.

― sean gramophone (Sean M), Friday, 9 December 2005 11:59 (twenty years ago)

Then of course there's 'the lAME generatoin.' xpost

Hi, i just discovered this board. I can't believe what a bucnch of bitter, twisted haters you all are! Go and see the arctics, they will change your life forever. In 25 years of working in PR, I have never seen a band galvanise an audience like the arctics. The road the arctics travel is the road called "Damascus", and I recommend you all take a walk down it.

In 25 years of working in PR, I have hyped every single band i've seen. The road the arctics travel is the road called "poo lane", and I recommend you all take a walk down it.

I had the misfortune to hear some Arctic Monkeys song on the radio today about How Awful Them Townies Are, featuring lyrics about Ford Mondeos and Being Beastly To Women. The fucking wankers.

I am now going to form a boy-band of Black-Eyed Peas loving working class lads, who will sing songs like "Fuck Me It's Student Night In Our Local" about brainless feather-cutted indie twats pretending to be deep in order to get their legs over brainless feather-cutted indie girls.

I'd buy it

― We Buy a Hammer For Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 9 December 2005 15:10 (twenty years ago)

The more I think about it, the more I think it'll work. I dunno whether to go with Lil' Jon, Stock Aitken and Waterman or Richard X to produce. It could be an East 17 comeback project.

lets be even more specific. what about those 17 and a half year olds in east doncaster...theyre the worst

Maybe the Mike Jones for people who are embarassed by their middle name?

― pscott (elwisty), Saturday, 10 December 2005 02:41 (twenty years ago)

this might not be an especially popular opinion round these here parts, but the more i hear "ibylgot dancefloor", the more i like it. it's surprisingly multi-layered for a punchy moddy rock tune, and the more lyrics i can discern, the funnier i find them. so shoot me. i think the album might be fun.

also, i thought the album was called "beneath the boardwalk"?

― CharlieNo4 (Charlie), Tuesday, 13 December 2005 09:16 (twenty years ago)

"IBYLGOTD" is my favourite single of 2005, so you're not alone.

HAHAHAHA I KNEW IT WOULD BE PETRIDISH [/Carlin]

― Flower King of Flies (noodle vague), Friday, 13 January 2006 10:26 (twenty years ago)

I think a lot of the press fuss is over 30's types panicking to get down with the kids. You have Andrew Collins in WORD saying they are 'the best band i've seen live since the smiths' and all that. I think in actual fact the generation gap is far from opening up again and in fact as this is jus' another example of 4 guys with the standard rock set up doing their thing that gets the MOJO crowd going more than even the kids. The biggest fans i know of the Arctic Monkeys are 5 guys who sit behind me in my office; all married, most with kids.

― piscesboy, Friday, 13 January 2006 10:28 (twenty years ago)

Spot on. It's those Mojo readers that need to believe in the life-affirming myth of ROCK AND ROLL far more than yr average 18 year-old kid to whom ver Monkeys probly represent a middling part of the soundtrack of doing what you do when you're 18.
