[Polyamarous]

Arctic Monkeys have easy bass lines to work out by ear.

[Visti]

How about buying the album? Did that go out of style?

[Jody LeCompte]

^ Buying albums went out of style when them chinese folk started bitching about having to work

Arctic Monkeys are really bad. You see good bands trying for years to get noticed, and then something like this typical indie crap comes along. Makes me sick.

123, they've brought absolutely nothing new to music.

I dont think there bad, but they dont deserve to be where they are right now imo.

I do realy like there new song though.:smash:

[neal_672]

123, they've brought absolutely nothing new to music.

Who cares if they haven't brought anything new, it's not always about complete originality, i daresay most of the music you listen to doesn't bring anything "new to music" just because it doesn't rework the entire genre doesn't mean it's any less worthy of attention.

I personally think he's an amazing lyricist, one of those people where i listen and just think "yeah that's how it is" a phenomenal band, they are however not a patch on the Libertines.

[SpiderFromMars]

i daresay most of the music you listen to doesn't bring anything "new to music"

Yeah, most musicians just copy a little of everything they like, because thats what people like to hear. I dont know about you, but I'm not always in the mood for something that sounds completely different.

[Phalanx]

I really hate them, that Dancefloor song is shockingly awful, none of their other songs are very inspired either

[neal_672]

Yeah, most musicians just copy a little of everything they like, because thats what people like to hear. I dont know about you, but I'm not always in the mood for something that sounds completely different.

My point exactly, couldn't agree more. This topic is in totally the wrong type of forum though considering through my expericne half of the people who browse the bass forum are metalheads :lol:

[Phalanx]

Yeah, most musicians just copy a little of everything they like, because thats what people like to hear. I dont know about you, but I'm not always in the mood for something that sounds completely different.

yeah, but still, it's always nice to listen to music which is a bit different every now and again

[SpiderFromMars]

O yeah, i love a bunch of weird music and stuff from unknown bands. I'm just sayin it doesn't have to be different to be good. (and by the way, i'm not defending arctic monkeys cause they do suck royally)

[Sade]

What the hell?

[Raz-The-Bass]

i actually just like the songs for the bass thats why i downloaded and hes a pretty rubbish vocalist to be honest although no worse than most bands that are quite big at the moment the album basically sounds like bsides lol

[SpiderFromMars]

:lol: Yeah i agree, they do have an annoying singer, but the bass is alright.

[PaulR]

What the hell?
I'm confused as you.

He has a great vioce.

It might be because im mad in love with yorkshire accents but i love his vioce.

Still Take You Home is one of the best :amaze: Probably Couldn't See is by far my favourite. But i'm in love with the whole album so *shrug*

[Teh Glees0rz]

From Ritz to the Rubble ftw! :thumb:

My friend's girlfriend likes Arctic Monkeys too and she was dead impressed that I could play most of the songs on the album; I learnt them in a day. :D

Unlike most people, she can actually recognise a bass line when you play it to her. :p

[Jaded]

Who the **** are the Artic Monkeys, and are they popular in england?

[Teh Glees0rz]

Popular? If having the fastest debut album in history makes them popular, then yes. :lol:

Popular? If having the fastest debut album in history makes them popular, then yes. :lol:
Fastest debut album to get to number 1.

And i remember hereing they are the only guitar band to get to number 1 with there debut song since the beatles, or ever. One of them.

[Jaded]

[Stagg3r]

Well I didn't know that, but I think some of their songs are pretty good, like scummy and mardy bum, though I don't think they are a phenomenon. But hey, when did being good have much to do with pop music and the charts.

[Criss Frantic]

God I hate the media. It's not the band's fault that they're being lauded as the "next big thing", they're just being carried along on a wave of uber-hype that's impossible for them to live up to.

I sincerely think that everyone in the music media (excluding everyone at NME) should be ****ed and burned. Let the music be heard and don't tell people what to like.

*End of short righteous rant*

[Deacy]

They're already arrogant as it is, when collecting their NME award for best british band the singer said "who else was going to be best british band you know?", which sounds like he's implying that there are no decent bands in Britain at the moment. Also, I heard that at a nightclub people were cleared from some sofas so they could sit down and drink wine

[rossini]

they're bland, like some band i'd find in a pub in manchester.

and the NME has turned to ****.
Q's where it's at

[dance to the radio]

my mate did see them in a pub in manchester a year back.

also seeing them at leeds festival, they were completly outclassed by bands such as the arcade fire and maximo park, much much better live shows. arctic monkeys were poor.

Should'nt it be inclueding NME, they brown nose them more than anyone.

I got their 100 greatest british albums issue and after vomiting many times at the top 10 I counted that they mentioned them 28 times, and thats just in one issue.

British music media sucks and so do they.

[Criss Frantic]

Ok I take it back.

Everyone in the music media deserves to be ****ed and burned, and so does anyone who reads that **** and takes it seriously. I'd prefer to just listen to the music and make my own mind up.

What was the top 10? I don't read the NME as it's a load of bollocks

[PaulR]

1. The Stone Roses 'The Stone Roses'
2. The Smiths 'The Queen Is Dead'
3. Oasis 'Definitely Maybe'
4. Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks'
5. Arctic Monkeys 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'
6. Blur 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'
7. Pulp 'Different Class'
8. The Clash 'London Calling'
9. The Beatles 'Revolver'
10. The Libertines 'Up The Bracket'

[d-mart]

Be thankful you did'nt, waste of money.

The Top Ten is as follows:

2. The Smiths 'The Queen Is Dead'
3. Oasis 'Definitely Maybe'
4. Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks'
5. Arctic Monkeys 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'
6. Blur 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'
7. Pulp 'Different Class'
8. The Clash 'London Calling'
9. The Beatles 'Revolver'
10. The Libertines 'Up The Bracket'

Where the hell is Radiohead or the Beatles and so on. The Stone Roses at number 1 is the biggest joke really, im not saying they bad, just because the editer loves Ian Brown dos'nt make them good.

[Deacy]

As good as 9 of those albums are (Arctic Monkeys ftl), they shouldn't be the top 10.

Everybody should know by now what the nme is all about, theres no suprises in that list at all.

[PaulR]

I think 2,3 and 9 should be.

[MarsVolta2004]

They said themselves, 'dont believe the hype'. Its not as if the band can help the media being so interested in them.

I like them, they put on a great live show from videos Ive seen/got, hoping to see them when they come back to the UK after US Tour.

Atleast they aint a girlband, this country has had enough of them being the next big thing.

[Akira]

Wait, how old are the Artic Monkeys? How can some overrated ne wband get on a list with The Beatles, Sex Pistols, and The Clash?

[BassPlayingPineapple]

The Arctic Monkeys are complete and utter bollocks.

Have a good day. :)

[Polyamarous]

Theyre barely 2 years old, they just went straight up, it's because they made demos of their songs easily available for free downloads. People knew about them and loved them befire they even released a single.

[Jody LeCompte]

Man

Im really not into this band...

I downloaded a few of their songs and they were incredibly chopping and annoying.

In terms of age, i know the lead singler is 19.

And they came out the tail end of last year, in the charts that is.

There album was released 23rd of january, which is my birthday incedently, hence why i remember the exact date.

By age I meant how long they had been around.

I just find it rediculous this new band could be put to a level of punk icons.

oh right, cool, they are a young band though <.<

[darrell]

I've never heard of them before... Then again, I had never heard of Craig David when he was up at the top in the UK in 2000 with "Fill Me In."

Then what do you know... a year later or so he's big in the US. I thought it was old because I knew a ton of people from England but it was new to everyone else over here in the States.

If I was smart, I'd follow the music in the UK and get into promoting stuff like that in the US. :thumb:

[bleeding_fingers]

OK so I just listened to The Arctic Monkeys, and I still think they suck.

[Criss Frantic]

Good for you.

[martin_sane]

I think they're more listenable than a lot of indie bands. They arent slow and they dont sing soppy songs, i just dont like the singer's voice plus that bass player has exactly the same bass as me (wouldnt be so bad if i wasnt from yorkshire)

[Matthew2250]

They are terrible, the whole British music scene is terrible at the moment. Requires zero singing talent and the ability to write songs that are worse than you contemporaries. And this whole pretending to be from the 70's or 80's thing is getting on my tits.

[Polyamarous]

Well the American music scene is all Linkin Park, and somesuch, or is that a bit dated now?

[Hardinge]

Well the American music scene is all Linkin Park, and somesuch, or is that a bit dated now?

^What makes you say that?

[Akira]

Linkin Park rocks.
But they haven't had an album out in a few years, one should come out this year.


Right now the "it" music is the States is indie, definately. bands like Death Cab for Cutie. Don't listen to the guy who said punk. You just have to look at the bands that play the Warped tour to see punk is dying.

[Hardinge]

^What makes you say that?

there has been an explosion of american punk bands recently

[Akira]

there has been an explosion of american punk bands recently
No?

What kind of bands do you mean?

[Pastorius]

You know, like GREENDAY

[Polyamarous]

They're pop-punk nowadays. I spose they were punk in the begining, but lets not go into it.

[Akira]

You know, like GREENDAY
You think Green Day is punk?

...Seriously? Have you heard American Idiot? It doesn't even sound like pop-punk. It is just rock. Nothing punk about it. They were punk once, but not anymore.

[Munky_Jam]

Man i only just heard their album last week and i dug it alot. THink its fantastic actually. BUt nothing is more exciting right now than the new pearl jam album out soon and single this week

[Criss Frantic]

What's punk?

[Munky_Jam]

What's punk?
Exactly I still get into arguments about that all the time i tend to go on the attitude
for example Johnny Cash was punk way before there was punk (I hate the way everyone is told now, and thus thinks that johnny cash is genius. He is but i've spent ages being bashed by people who now claim they love him - because they're told they should, much like what appears to have happened with the Arctic Monkeys)

[Criss Frantic]

Munky Jam, you're my favourite :)

[neal_672]

Music media is all wrapped up in the bands of the time and always will be, plus it's also SUBJECTIVE, i wouldn't let Black Sabbath anywhere NEAR my top 100 British list but then i'd get some retard having a pop at me just for that :rolleyes:

I think it needs pointing out that i am yet to meet ANYONE who buys an album just because everyone else has bought it, it's just pointless. Has it occured to a lot of you that perhaps people buy the record (god forbid) because they actually like it? Because they can relate to it? Because it's lyrically superb? Because it's catchy?

Jesus, pull your heads out of your arses, people like whatever and as i said i'm yet to meet anyone who buys an album just because Q/Kerrang/NME/whoever tells them to. I am ****ing SICK of people bitching on this band just because they're popular, so **** loads of bands are popular, if i started bitching on The Beatles just because they're massive then people would be in uproar. Sure if you don't like the music that's fine but to bitch about them saying that just because they're popular and that people only like them because they're told to is a load of bollocks.

You really don't understand much of the human condition. It is an inherit and physiological human trait to like, enjoy, and purchase substances, media, and entertainment that fall into certain catagories of contemporary significance. It is perfectly logical to assume that because a band is over-produced and hyped to a rather large degree that the band will be more popular with the mainstream.

Even so, the way the international music industry works now, an artist doesn't really have to have large record sales to cover them financially. The music industry now is leaning more towards corporate ties and big buisness from large chains of major studios and record labels. So a band that isn't really that entertaining can easily become successful given enough financial backing from corporate sponsors, who basically profit from the "idea" of the band being successful in the mainstream.

So to sum up, it is very logical to assume that because a band is supported largely by corporate media, that they will be popular. Buying and selling music really isn't about the material, it's about the appeal and situation with the corporations of record labels and major studios.

I agree with one bit, who gives a rats if a bands popular, more power to them, they came along at the right time. As for the rest of you're post, you're a fool.
Of course lots of people buy albums on recommendations you tool. I've done it lots of times as has probably everybody (infact i will limit this to mostly those who have jobs, thus if you've wasted a little on a dodge album its not the end of the world). But almost everybody buys albums on recommendations at some stage, be they from a friend or a review you idiot. Sorry for the constant you're an idiot like comments but you set the tone with your post. :chug:
