Posted November 3, 200618 yr Less than a few days after scooping a double honour at the 2006 Q Awards, Arctic Monkeys failed to win at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Although the band were only in two categories which contained stiff competition, many would have fancied the 'Monkeys to win either of the two categories they were in - Best Alternative and UK and Ireland Best Act. Best Alternative was awarded to Muse who fought off competition from large bands such as Korn, System of a Down and The Raconteurs as well as Arctic Monkeys. The Kooks, who have shared much success in 2006, not only beat Arctic Monkeys and Muse, but saw stopped hot new acts Corinne Bailey Rae and Lily Allen to scoop the award for UK and Ireland Best Act. Source: Mardy-Bum.com I'm a bit suprised they never won best UK and Ireland act tbh. :( I mean The Kooks are a decent band but I expected The Arctics to beat them. :(
November 3, 200618 yr I thought they'd win it tbh, I'd have preferred them to win over the others in the category -_-
November 3, 200618 yr Author I thought they'd win it tbh, I'd have preferred them to win over the others in the category -_- Well I ain't suprised Muse won best alternate. :P Especially with them performing and everything. ^_^
November 3, 200618 yr yeah, i think muse deserved there award, but arctics desevred UK/ireland act imo -_-
November 3, 200618 yr They wuz robbed :(... as much as I like The Kooks and Muse, they just don't compare to Arctic Monkeys :cry: Never mind, there's always next year <_<
November 5, 200618 yr I am a fan of The Kooks and Arctic Monkeys but personally on the whole I think Arctic Monkeys are the better of 2 greats. Either way a worthy winner and I can see why they won over Arctics in a sense seeing as Arctics music is very british whereas The Kooks isn't so much.

The Kooks haven't had much sucess though out of Britan and Ireland though, have they?. :unsure:
November 5, 200618 yr The Kookd haven't had mcuh sucess though out of Britan and Ireland though, have they?. :unsure: I suppose not but I am guessing that people may have heard the artists who were nominated through the internet. Edited November 5, 200618 yr by TheOrdinaryArcticBoy
