Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has split from his girlfriend of two years following disagreements over money and other women.

 

According to The Mirror, Turner split with student Johanna Bennett after the pressure of his rock 'n' roll lifestyle became too much.

 

A source told the newspaper: "Johanna felt Alex was getting too close to his groupies and his schedule meant that they hardly had any time together."

 

A lack of money also apparently played a crucial role in the couple's demise as Alex, 21, waits for his royalties to begin coming in.

 

The source said, "Johanna was fed up of going to McDonalds or cheap Soho bars on dates because they couldn't afford anything better. The few decent nights she did get were industry dos where they would get drunk on free wine."

That article seems to be trying to make Johanna look like an idiot with that last bit :unsure:

I know what you mean. Its not a direct quote from her so I dunno whether there's any truth in the article, but I mean it would be funny if they went to McDonalds for date! :o I doubt it though. :lol:

Well I would NEVER take a girl to McDonalds on a date :lol: If you're short on money I say suggest to stay in with a film probably :P

Thats what I was thinking. :lol: I mean its not exactly classy is it? :lol: And well tbh I can't imagine Alex going into McDonalds at all. :lol:

I'm p***ing myself at the thought of seeing him in one :lol: Especially if you worked there it'd be so odd really :rofl:

It would be really odd! :o Mind you the workers may not notice him, like those bouncers for example that didn't belive they were old enough to get into a club. :rofl:

Oh yeah I remember that :rofl: That's what they got for singing about bouncers though so maybe if there is some truth in all this we'll get a song about McDonalds, it'd certainly sound strange with the 'beats' in this new direction they're taking :lol:

A song about McDonalds! :o :rofl: Now that would be a classic. :lol: They've wrote one about a bakers shop or something already for the new album. :unsure: :lol:

Well, he's very young, imo... he should party and mess around a bit more before getting in a serious relationship :P

They should have kept the old title to that one as it sounds like an Arctic Monkeys pisstake :rofl: (I Wish You'd Smiled At Me At The Bakery) instead of calling it The Bakery Song though. :(

I'm sure he parties about enough as it is, as well as being in a serious releationship. :P

Was that what it was originaly called? :rofl: The Bakery Song sounds good though! :o Apart from the fact it seems like its a nursey rhyme or something. :( :lol:

Yes I remember on NME.com AGES ago Alex said that there was going to be a new song called that and I thought he was taking the p*** and it turns out it was actually a real song but now they've given it a title that'll at least get taken seriously A LITTLE by people who don't understand :lol:

Imagine if they released it as a single! :o I'm sure a lot of people would think it was a p*** take but then I suppose the Arctics have a very unique sense of humour so a lot of people wouldn't get the title. :( :lol:

It would be funny :lol: But then again they don't care really, they're gonna do what they want to do even if it sacrifices their commercial success like they have always said ^_^

Thats a good attitude to follow. ^_^ I hope this new album will have the succss of WPSIATWIN but I doubt it will really, I guess a lot of it just depends on the lead single and how much hype there is about.

I have a feeling it might alienate a lot of people who are expecting it to be sounding just like the last album but I have a feeling I'm going to really like it personally, if it's as good and different as I think it is THEN I'll say Alex Turner is a genius :P rather than the loads of people who say it now who probably won't say it when the new album is out -_-

Well i'm all for the new album taking a nw direction in sound. They're not gonna be able to win whatever album they put out as some people will hate it whilst others love it. I may think its a bit rubbish upon first listen but i'm sure it'll grow on me eventually. :P

Well we've discussed that over and over in this forum already haven't we? :lol: It's only my third most anticpated which shows how good this years music has the potential to be :o Babyshambles and Ash are above them btw ^_^

Hopefully the new Ash album will be pretty good. :D I dunno how different it will eb though now Charlotte has left though. :unsure:
