Arctic Monkeys fans.....

Im gonna be nice (although I hate them and there agressive marketing tactics) and post a link to 18 tracks by the apparent saviours of the world, the new smiths or whatever they are this second.


Just dont tell me how good they are here

 

we have just finished yesterday doing the PA for there uk tour. Not really my thing, but to be fair to the lads they know how to perform

stef

 

the PA?

 

The Sound mate..... Main PA sytem, monitors, FOH desk, mons desk, mics etc etc

Basically everything so they could perform on stage.

are you an engineer? so am I! I run a bookings agency now though...still engineer the odd gig, tech too!

 

I'm more your PA tech, i started working where i am now looking after and maintaining all the different systems we have. Just recently got trained up on l'acoustics VDOSC sytem.

I've never really been interested in going out on the tours or festivals that we do, i prefer to get involved with the managment side back at our place. Which is what i'm doing at the moment.

If need be though, i can go out to rig and set up etc.

cool...I was offered a few gigs with them ealier this ear but turned them down as I think they are a second rate Libertines. what venue u at?

 

Second rate Libertines?



Blimey, how's that for damning with faint praise

 

Libertines are amazing, but sadly have all the rubbish that goes along with them....Nirvana spawned Nickelback, The libs spawned Artic monkeys!

Seriously though, there ok, but terrible lyrics. Gutted there gonna be no1 on sunday though

 

Arf!


So, would that make them a third rate These Animal Men?

 

wow..these animal men...now there was a band.

Smash too. and Six By Seven...great stuff.

 

No venue, i work for SSE mate

stef

 

thought you worked in the industry .

The Arctic Monkeys are top, so much better than the libertines. The lyrics too are often very good.

 

Ha ha...you are kidding right?

 

Ha ha...



no. I like them.

I think they're light-hearted and irreverant with a faint sense of pathos. They achieve a sound that is both generic and commercial with consummate ease and a sense of self-deprecation that belies their obvious drive and commitment.

Catchy tunes man.

 

Dub Dave, out of intrest, who do you like? music wise

 

Ive just posted a dead long reply and lost it!!

Grr.

here goes again

Belle&Sebastian,Ryan Adams, Young Knives, Pantera, Larikin Love, Regina Spector, Giant Drag, Be your Own Pet, Bullet For My Valentine, The Smiths, System of a down, Clap your hands say yeah...Thats it so far today.

 

I also heard someone recently state they are the new Jam.

 

hmmm get them to sing town called malice and we'd see the real stars!
