Couldn't agree more, IMO they aren't good enough to headline not when you think some of the names that have headlined, on current popularity yes but quality of performance or songs no chance. I mean in recent times the likes of Radiohead, Muse, Oasis, White stripes, The Who then you get the killers and Artic monkeys.
Peoples feelings about their favourite bands cloud judgment though especially when things like best live band get said. Muse sweep up all those best live awards not Moneys and the contrast between the 2 shows couldn't be more different.
the monkeys are great,their songs are great alex turner is a great frontman and matt helder is one of if not the best drummer about at the min from these shores anyway
what i like about the monkeys is they just turn up and play no glitz or fancy shows and all their songs are like a little story that the average guy on the streets of england can relate too,theyre like the peoples band if you like
the likes of white stripes,muse and radiohead i have no fucking clue what theyre singing about most the time but they put on a fancy show i spose hey
