WTF - just watching Glastonbury - thinks he is Elvis. Lost all that Northern grit. Awful. Awful. Angry

Very fucking odd. His show-voice is ridiculous!

YellowTulips · 29/06/2013 00:37

Yes - boo hoo

Why do people need to lose their accents when they get famous?

Agghhhh

I've got it on in the background and its not holding my attention..so I conclude its/they are being crap

LittleNoona · 29/06/2013 00:38

They're all dicks.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say they're cunts.

Can't stand them.

They are definitely Dicks !!

Posh boys that pretend not to be so they can 'fit in'

burberryqueen · 29/06/2013 00:50

agree arctic monkeys are total cunts, didnt tony blair say that he liked them to show that he was down wiv da yoof?
says it all really.

LackaDAISYcal · 29/06/2013 00:56

Oh, I like them and their hard Northern grit, and didn't notice a loss of accent. They're talking to Jo Whylie on the sofa now.

Not sure about them being a "headline" act though. In fact I've just been musing, watching Portishead that the whole thing is turning out to be a bit of a revival festival rather than something current.

LackaDAISYcal · 29/06/2013 00:57

hahaha, JW just said he was "chanelling Elvis" YellowTulips, are you JW? Grin

YellowTulips · 29/06/2013 00:58

Forgot Blair said he liked them - nuff said. Seen the interview - off his head!

They were very, very boring. But, god almighty, how inane is Jo Whiley - "You nailed it". Jeeze, she has been so, so lucky in her career

YellowTulips · 29/06/2013 01:07

All the DJ's are sycophants - it's like the inevitability of poo in a nappy.

Grin...sometimes I really wish there was a like button on MN!!

YellowTulips · 29/06/2013 01:20

Have a soft spot for Lauren Laverne (not sure on the spelling). She might be a mackem but she's a bright lass.

Coked up.

dopeysheep · 29/06/2013 02:41

Dunno about the Arctic Monkeys who are seven kinds of shite but watched Rizzle Kicks earlier being interviewed ( badly) and they were wasted as well.
Greg James then said afterwards "they've been in hospitality for several hours and are very 'relaxed'"

dopeysheep · 29/06/2013 02:44

I dislike monkeys anyway, definitely my least favourite animal, so arctic ones are no different. Shit throwing tossers.

AHandfulOfDust · 29/06/2013 02:56

No-one from Sheffield is a dick.

Tru-fax.

Posh boys that pretend not to be so they can 'fit in'

Not true. Alex went to the same school as me, definitely not posh.

I didn't see Glastonbury tonight so can't comment, but would have thought pseudo-transatlantic rock posturing more likely. I don't really blame them though, they were killed by over-hype after one album.

(It was Brown, not Blair, who pretended to like them. Blair would've handled such questions with less cringeworthy embarrassment).

TheRealFellatio · 29/06/2013 03:57

It was Gordon Brown, not Tony Blair.

Which is even worse.

AKissIsNotAContract · 29/06/2013 04:02

I saw Craig Charles interviewing someone earlier and he was completely wasted too.
I couldn't even name a song by the Artic Monkeys, my mum likes them though.

NickyNackyNooNoo · 29/06/2013 06:23

Oh no, I luffs Arctic Monkeys and was going catch up tonight Sad

I shall watch later and make my own mind up Grin

nellyjelly · 29/06/2013 06:59

I thought they were good. Surely the rock and roll oosturing was just an act, part of the show. Hence the slicked back hair etc.

Agree about all these acts looking wasted though. Must be a pain to interview them.

BTW Craig Charles was nterviewing Nile Rodgers! Heis a bloody legend woman!

Pah!

nellyjelly · 29/06/2013 06:59

Posturing not oosturing!
