Arctic Monkeys

I say naff knobs, dd2 says they are rock and roll. Music great. Speech just rather pathetic and rude to me.

How old is he?

He's an absolute bloody genius and AM is the best album released (by anyone) in years. Probably should lay off the naughty salt for a while though..

Some one said during the week they wished bands would do more than thank their labels, god and mum and do something different. Maybe he tried that, or was pissed!

He was a bit knobbish but his foray into knobby territory was a mere drop in the ocean of the knobbishness we saw displayed by that idiot James Corden.

He was completely off his tits on enough cocaine to kill a small horse tired and emotional.

I wonder why Harry Styles was 'in the toilet' when he should have been onstage accepting an award.

I had to turn the TV off when he started his speech, completely abnoxious!

Exactly squoosh!

At least he was a bit interesting

They are a vastly overrated, awful band, who are benefiting hugely from the dearth of decent indie guitar music. In the 90's they wouldn't have been seen as anything special.

Started to watch the speech and turned t over as it was embarrassing. However, I saw his band mate smirking behind him when he started and I wonder if rather than play the usual 'grateful for anything' - they were having fun, more of a dare to see what a dickish speech he could give. Or, he was just being a dick!

What on earth did he say?

It was ironic. Wasn't it? My god, was it not supposed to be ironic?!

I'd much rather watch tongue-in-cheek arrogance from a genius band than kissy-bum licking brown-nosing of Bruno Mars or witless dullards like one direction.

The whole show was a cringefest.

ha ha ...genius?? how are they that?

Missed the Brits and the speech. But AM on repeat in the car.

The whole Brits business is a bit nobbish though isn't it. I think it was AM a couple of years ago when they won something went "whoo hoo - and we didn't even go to the Brits school" (prepared to be corrected here)

Jarvis Cocker still wins my vote for best political statement

What a wanker he is. Too much cocaine.

AT was probably half cut and high on....er adrenaline. I think he's proper talented though. Rock stars have always been arrogant young men, it's what they do.

The Guardian nailed it with -

"Fellas, if you don’t want to be there, just don’t go. You’re grown men, so there’s no need to get up on stage and behave like teenagers who’ve been forced to go to the Christmas carol service and then say goodnight to the vicar on the way home. And if you’re going to be rebellious, actually be rebellious – don’t just drop the microphone and then tell the watching world that they can invoice you for it."

Bet he's a fucking nightmare to work with now. They'll have to expand the recording studio door to accomodate his gigantic head and ballooning ego.

Cocaine cocaine cocaine.....
