Arctic Monkeys claim reformed boy band Take That are "bollocks" at the Q Awards , held in London in October 2006. See th e whole acceptance speech here
For everyone saying they can't understand him, he says: "A lot of people make jokes about them having like, er, awards for no reason, and that, just for the sake of having awards for people and that. A lot of like pretending they were good when they weren't sort of thing. I mean I might be glad of it one day... I'm not old enough to know, like, a lot of them and stuff but even I know that Take That were bollocks."
yes, second fastest selling album in history, TO ARCTIC MONKEYS They've had 4 #1 albums and 4 sold out tours, and that's with barely any radio play and no advertising, because they don't need it, their music is good so people will listen, their music doesn't get old like all this pop shit. I still listen to their début album 7 years later!
AM have recently apologized for these comments in NME mag. They said they were immature, and just needed something to say up there. They told TT that themselves. They also said TT are nice guys, and they appreciate the song Shine. The end.
LOL! Alex should learn from Liam('s attitude) on how to slag off people... At least don't laugh right after you've said slagged someone off! If Liam was there instead, he would be giving the finger to the man who says "Don't encourage them!" LOL
"Nobody Else" in 1995 reached No.69 on Billboard. And the single "Back For Good" in 1996 peacked at No.6,going Platinum.And that's quite well for a single in US,mate.
@RebelRodent There definitely is a need for it because Take That are creating music which has no feeling and is only in existence to make their record company a huge sum of money. Music is an art form and bands like Take That are exploiting this art form with the aim of making money.
where are take that ? well, theyve just finished one of their biggest selling tours which was the fastest selling in UK history and right now are probably in a studio recording for their next album if that answers your question:)
@summerpresley1 what does 'Artheritic monkees' mean? its nothing to do with a lack of food... yeah he may have written more songs but none of them are as good as Alex's
@StereOasis93 No, you can hear him laughing afterwards (few seconds later). I think the 'get out'-gesture was meant to be funny, except you couldn't really see because he had his back to the audience/camera (he probably had a big smile on his face, whilst doing it). In the end you hear him laughing, too. By the way, Ross is the kind of guy that would happily slag off Take That.
what have they acheived exactly ? acheived that is not given to them - they are no better than someone who does painting by numbers and expects to be treated like van goch - he makes a valid point as does the lad above your comment - take that IS for folk who dont like music
They will sell more records, because America have accepted them. Take That didn't break in America because well.....it's cheese. I will say though they are the most talented boyband, atleast they are not manufactured like the majority of them.
he says a lot of people make jokes about people giving awards for no reason just for the sake of giving out awards and pretending people were good when the werent and then he said he might be glad of it one day but he said that hes not old enough to know a lot of the nominees but even he knows Take That were bollocks (sucky). Hope that helped.
@LostDiamond7 I may sound like a fanboy but.. 1. Arctic Monkeys are better lyrically and in terms of technical ability. (Matt Helders amazing drummer) 2. Take That mainly appeal to naive women because they fancy them. 3. "Whatever people say I am that's what I'm not"-fastest selling debut album in britain, beating OASIS 4. The song "shame" by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow rips off blackbird by The Beatles 5. Gary Barlow is a judge on X Factor-nothing to be said here
Anyone who trys to kid themselves that the Arctics wont be around for long are talking complete bollocks. Alex Turner is the the most talented young person in modern times and could be a real role model for youngsters in this country. If and when the arctics do happen to fade, Alex Turner will still be involved in music in some capacity and will be remembered for a long long time. Mark my words, what you are seing is music history. Listen to the albums, then comment. Then you'll realise
@TheN109 i didn't say the arctics don't deserve their success...I was talking about take that deserving theirs...Also 'talentless' to me is someone who can't see the credibility outside their own music....If he was talented as you say wouldn't he be able to recognize how take that has some of the best pop music around?...Generic to you and him maybe....Talented people can see the good in all music...Even Noel Gallagher can recognize how good take that are...And the Beatles were manufactured too.
please, someone, anyone, who's native language is english, WRITE DOWN what alex said because..... i only understand some parts... and i'm fucking interested in it... i'm begging. i always have serious problems understanding them (although i've been learning english for idontknowhowmanyyears), but this is especially hard.
@ihavekankles great point! People can make jokes about TT's cover songs in the 90's when they were being controlled by Nigel Martin Smith. But even an idiot knows that Beautiful World was a GREAT album - and they pretty much wrote it themselves, unlike the slew of other wanker boy bands who need others to write their songs.
@SuperMegabar "no balls"? right. them Monkeys dissed Take That because they don't have the guts to admit that they're not as iconic as Take That or their own idols, The Strokes. and you say Take That have no balls! bands as arrogant & idiotic like Arctic Monkeys who diss other bands are seriously doomed to fail. both TT and The Strokes are down-to-earth, MATURE, successful & humble. Arctic Monkeys don't posses those qualities. that's why no one cares about 'em.
Oh, god. You Indie/rock fans don't know how to diss really. I do respect the Artic Monkeys. I respect every band that are original. But it doesn't give him the right to diss other artists. Take That have changed, they are not the naive boyband anymore, they write their own music, produce their own records and play instruments as well. I know that boybands are not known for their talent, but TT have evolved. Sorry if I have insulted you, I was carried away.
"We love Gary Barlow, I think I really offended him a few years ago though, which I'm sorry about. I didn't understand it then. Didn't know what was going on, trying to ruffle some feathers." - Alex Turner 2011
love the fact that people are singing Alex's praises for this and yet the Arctic Monkeys have come out since and said that they apologised for this and commented on how much they like Take That.
I really hate this behevior that some artists have and that is insulting other artists.. i think that you can dont like some type of music, but you can also have a respect for eachother for theyre contribution to the art, even if its not what you like.. and no ofense, I like Artic Monkeys, but they really think too much about themselfs..
@rochey1010 This "Talentless twat" is one of the best songwriters this country has seen since Lennon and Mccartney. I've got tickets to see them next weekend at the o2, but I didn't get standing ones as these sold out in under a minute, I had to get sitting ones. Take That just sing live, whereas Arctic Monkeys all play their instruments and can sing too. Take That, it seems, only do this in the comfort of the studio. He's making a genuinely true point here, not because "it's cool".
Just to point out to previous comments, Take That do write their own songs and make their own music and everything from take that comes from within them, other people don't do it for them so I think most of u have a clue of what you're talking about and it wasn't right for the arctic monkeys to slag them off
yung menace if you actually listen to the lyrics of the songs they’re actually very clever and well thought out lyrics, compared to a lot of artists nowadays where everything written is utter nonsense. Take That are probably some of the best song writers around (not saying they’re the best and that their songs are the best but the actual lyrics and stuff are a lot better than most other artists). Plus I don’t think they would’ve sold as many albums and sold out as many tours as they have if the songs were sh!t
I’ve got nothing against the arctic monkeys, I think some of their music is pretty good actually, I just think this was pretty damn arrogant and a bit stupid but Alex was pretty young here so...
there was a story that their myspace page (they didn't make it, their fans did) broke all records of visits in a very short time and that that was the reason the record companies wanted them so bad. anyway, please YOU tell me how they became that much wanted by the record companies
Glad to see they are being original by bringing a beer bottle onstage to show that they are still down to earth. I mean it's not like any other band has ever done that.

Kim Sheppard getting a reply on a 7 year old comment is the most amusing thing that’s happened to me in a while HAHA but yeah i assume now he was talking about a group called “take that”
Again, gave the money to charity. They are not One Direction. They have never released a perfume, a movie and had their own stores to sell shit to fans. Not every pop artist is a sell-out.
@Messylin What generation do you speak of? Alex Turner could write them songs but instead he wrote a debut album that was the fastest selling in the uk ever. It summed up youth culture at the time and will remain to be one of the greatest british albums ever. Now im interested to see what albums are as iconic and meanigful that have came from Take That.
Are you fucking high? I love Oasis and Arctic Monkeys (can't be arsed with U2) but Arctic Monkeys trying to be Oasis. Oasis are immense, but I fail to see Arctic Monkeys as anything other than a great, original band with one of the best lyricists going. They've got their own style. Listen to the Humbug album the whole way through and tell me they sound anything like Oasis.
wow Alex Turner! jealous much? here you are talking smack on one of the greatest and unique pop bands in the world, and yet you rip off The Strokes just because you wish you were them? don't be hating on Take That just 'coz they sell more albums and shows than you do.

But they gave all the money to charity..
