What the fuck has happened with Arctic Monkeys... Absolutely awful. Someone needs to remind Alex Turner that he's from Sheffield, not LA... WAS Really looking forward to this but it's awful Totally agree. Never really been into them but my (limited) impression of them has always been that they prided themselves on being a working class band from Sheffield that sang about everyday stuff we could all relate to. I've watched 30 mins of them and Alex Turner seems a right billy big bollocks - cunt thinks he's Elvis. I’m not a fan of the new stuff but they are possibly one of the biggest bands in the world. They live in LA now and have been multi millionaires for years so they are going to sing about eating pies from the local butcher any more. He’s just giving it front man who knows how popular he is vibes.

Am i the only person that doesnt like the foo fighters. I absolutely love rock, metal, thrash, etc, but the foo fighters sound so bland to me. Preferred it back in the day when grohl was behind a drum kit looking at the back of cobains head. No.

Don't doubt their success mate and plenty of people become big headed because of it. Maybe we all would. He seems to have gone beyond that though and become a Vic Reeves club style singer. He'll need help getting back from crawling up his own anus after this.

I couldn’t disagree more. They’ve evolved. Into a band that is nowhere as good as it was when they were raw. Are any band? Pop music is in essence a youthful thing. There’s only a handful of artists that have the draw for fans in their later years.

Do wish he’d sing at least one at the speed it’s meant to be. He’s killing 505 here.

There’s only a handful of artists that have the draw for fans in their later years. To a certain extent I agree. These don't even sing their classics well anymore, Alex Turner tries to hard in my opinion. He should just sing his classic songs like they were meant to be sung, then his later stuff, which is wank, wouldn't be as much of an issue.

One thing they wouldn't be if they were watching any other massive band from the 90s or 00's

I think they were all in their mid to late teens when they released that first album, and I guess they have just moved on musically. Unfortunately, the new stuff is complete dogshit and it’s entirely unrelatable to their original fan base. Is that selling out? I dunno - I guess each to their own and they are now a massive global band, but I just don’t get it at all. This entire set is just boring as fuck.

Sort of the curse of Glasto headliners. You should never do it more than twice really. There is definitely an air of predictability about it all. Which is why it’s much better to be there cause I’d already be sneaking off to the South East Corner to get off me coconut till breakfast time

I’m not at all familiar with the Arctic Monkeys body of work but I did quite enjoy that.
I agree a lot of it was verging on easy listening and maybe not too exciting for the audience but sitting at home on the sofa I didn’t mind that!
Minor point of detail: most of the songs just seemed to stop without having a proper ending which I thought was bizarre.

He talks of San Fransisco he’s from Hunter’s Bar. I don’t quite know the distance but I’m sure it’s far, yeah I’m sure it’s pretty far.
Yeah I’d like to tell bout my problem- You’re not from New York City you’re from Rotheram.
Mid Atlantic ‘I bet you look good ‘ - That’s just fucking embarrassing.

Should have give Fred Again this slot I sort of don’t disagree with this. He’s probably one of the biggest artists of the past year. It was like when Stormzy did it, everyone said he only had two albums but it was fresh and new.

And as a much less talented Gary Barlow once warbled...... Never, forget where you're coming from.

I like everything the Arctic Monkeys have produced up to and including AM. The last two albums haven't been for me to be honest.
Turner's sucked the life out of them tonight with this weird crooner act that he insists on playing. I've never seen a Glasto crowd look so bored shitless watching a headliner.
Butchering 505 as badly as he did should be considered a fucking war crime.

It’s a shame: the first album was the most accurate assessment of being 17 since the undertones.
A.M was the best album about being a horny late 20s dirt bag with money.
What I thought was irony about the space hotel thing is now maybe not.
Why the stupid accent - is that how he speaks these days?!

The accent thing is what dickheads do when they forget where they're really from. It's not a new thing.

Yeah but the whole first album was purposely sang in a Sheffield accent. And mocked those that sang in mid-Atlantic accents.
And then did that exact thing tonight.
I can’t work out whether this is some clever Whoosh or whether the bands finished..
