Arctic monkeys: Live!

Arctic Monkeys are pretty decent, but the way everyone raves about them you would think they're the reincarnation of the divine Buddah. I mean they've got a good tune, but they're not much better then most of the bands out there. What's all the fuss about? I prefere The Magic Numbers myself.

i got tickets for sheffield on tuesday.

i really didnt want to jump onto the arctic monkeys bandwagon but i think they are as good as the hype and they are from my area, i have to support local talent. the real reason i am going to see them is that they are being supported by maximo park and we are scientists who i think are much better than the monkeys themselves :) but the monkeys still rule.

Actually the Monkeys are supporting Maximo Park, not the other way round.

The reason why they're so hyped is because people go on internet forums and say things like 'Why are they so hyped, I mean, they're alright, but...' and it just spreads the myth. I don't think they're hyped at all...

Are you kidding? They've been raving about them on the radio for a couple of weeks now. Although the guy on Radio 1 said their album was pretty dissapointing, so maybe the hype will reduce to normal levels soon. That's PR corperations for you.

Why don't you listen to band themselves, and Don't Believe The Hype.

Sorry, pun.

Damn those ebay arseholes!! i tried and tried to get tickets but failed! sold out in like 8 minutes...

 

Ive already seen them at the Leeds Festival and Luckily i have an NME tour ticket and they are playing as part of that. But that's not the point i wanted some tickets for this tour.

 

I got a feeling they are gonna add another date in London tho one of those due to public demand extra date added blah blah.

 

No doubt the ebay arseholes will buy all those aswell. MOFO's

Quite ridiculous to be honest. Don't people understand they're getting ripped off? The Tickets (I'm assuming this) are only around £15, what idiot would pay ten times the face value.

Some people with more money than sense buy them, or they think they can resell them. Trust me closer to the time the price drops because sellers get desperate.
