Posted March 11, 200718 yr 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 8d0eahCJUjY
March 11, 200718 yr Author Heres some of the comments about the arctic monkeys dissing take that: I heartily agree Posted by Mark at 03:06PM | October 30, 2006 Even if what Alex said was true (which it isn't) he should be more careful about what he says about others cos their will be people out there who think exactly the same about the Arctic Monkeys!! Posted by Amy at 06:36PM | October 30, 2006 The Arctic Monkeys can only wish for Take That's success Posted by vicky at 06:42PM | October 30, 2006 Maybe they should concentrate more on making it through puperty in one piece rather than on what Take That are doing (which is selling out every date of their tour after a decade of being away). If these monkey boys split up and came back 10 years later I guarantee nobody would give a damn. Just a thought!!! Posted by Katie at 06:46PM | October 30, 2006 Loser. Posted by Nic at 07:03PM | October 30, 2006 I don't know much, but I'm old enough to know Arctic Monkeys were always f***ing bollocks. And im quite sure they always will be. Posted by Aimee at 07:30PM | October 30, 2006 I like the Monkeys but im a thatters since i was 13 im 28 now i love all different music but what the guy said....well i guess he's just jelous cos after TEN I REPEAT TEN YEARS!!! this guys are back in town having lots of success they will have the same if they split up than back together after 1o yrs??I honestly dnt know!!! i though a comment like this could have been made by Liam Gallagher its more in his style but hey if i remember well he dislike the monkes!!! So i hope the next time Alex keep his mouth shout!!and think twice b4 say something stupid like this... just pray to have the same success u got now in ten yrs time stupid monkey! :D TAKE THAT ARE 4EVER Posted by consuelo at 07:41PM | October 30, 2006 Whatever! Take That were, are and always will be the best thing to happen to music. Get a life Monkey boys, your music is absolute piddle and I know that you will not be remembered in two years let alone ten. Run along and get a job in Siansbury's now. Posted by Jess at 07:49PM | October 30, 2006 Siansbury's is the Irish version of Sainsbury's... Posted by Jess at 07:50PM | October 30, 2006 The Arctic Monkeys can only dream of a fraction of Take That's success,or money! The monkeys have always been f***ing bollocks,and always will be. Posted by lisa at 07:57PM | October 30, 2006 Take That > Arctic Monkeys Posted by Laura at 07:57PM | October 30, 2006 "I don't know much" is very very true, monkey boy. Posted by Nic at 07:59PM | October 30, 2006 The Arctic Monkeys are awesome but I doubt they should walk the same roas as Oasis and start talking smack about other Groups...even if I do agree with them! Alex, you will never be a Liam, and Liam you will never be an Ian Brown...stay true boys! Posted by Jonathan at 07:59PM | October 30, 2006 Hey, I love the Monkees proper like - heck, we even live in the same village up here in Sheff - but I thought as much as it's rock n roll an that, slagging them off seemed a bit uncalled for. Alex and 't lads are reight grand an all, but Tek That (as we say in High Green) are a bit like - well not in the frame for a good slaggin off. They are a bit sort of - like Mommies Boys if you get my point and this isn't Oasis Vs. Robbie terratory. I am missing the point completely or was it simply because Tek That (as we say in High Green) won the award that Alex thought was theirs??? Mate, you're on yer own! N xx Posted by NF at 08:05PM | October 30, 2006 They let themselves down with the Take That comment. Blatantly tried to be controversal, and was trying to look cool and impress others in the room but it back fired and made him out to look a fool. Bad move lads. Take That have more repect than you realise and are not the easy shot you thought it would be. Posted by John at 08:21PM | October 30, 2006 I like the Arctic Mokeys music but....they have only been around for 5 mins and they need to come back out of their own arses and respect people who have been in the business a lot longer than them. I'd like to see them go away for 10 years and come back and have a huge sellout arena and stadium tour like TT have done, All the Arctic Monkeys have suceeded in doing is making themselves like jealous stupid little boys. Posted by Nicky at 08:35PM | October 30, 2006 Take that are the best always will be! Arctic monkeys can only dreams of the same kind of success cos its neva gonna happen to them, bad luck boys! In ten years time people arent even gonna know who they are!! Posted by Linda at 08:40PM | October 30, 2006 I'd like to see those bunch of fools get as many number ones, top tens & sell out tours as what take that have managed to achieve, and if they split up & got back together 10 years later they would be nobodies. Shame on you Arctic Monkeys Posted by missemma at 08:45PM | October 30, 2006 Arctic who?????????/ Posted by charmian at 08:49PM | October 30, 2006 Well it is a land of free speech and especially nothing wrong if its true Posted by Tom at 08:56PM | October 30, 2006 Oh such immature boys like there music is any good!!!! Posted by Annie at 09:06PM | October 30, 2006 whooo are these again?? at least people remember TT 10 yrs on! more than we'll be able to say about these jokers!! Posted by Bex at 09:12PM | October 30, 2006 Free speach is one thing when there is a point to voicing your opinion...but, really, what was the point in that? If that's what they have to do to get attention then fine, it has worked but not to their benefit. They just seem pathetic and childish now. Posted by Katie at 09:21PM | October 30, 2006 Arctic who? Never heard of them..no guys, seriously.. Take That are true legends and noone could ever come close to what they've achieved.Never. The arctic DOnkeys should shup up , they are not at the same league. Posted by Jasey at 09:33PM | October 30, 2006 what a silly little boy makin a fool of himself in front of all those people. im surprised sum1 didnt kill him Posted by susan at 09:52PM | October 30, 2006 Jealousy hey? It's very pathetic when the only way you can get publicity is by slagging off another band who are actually good at what they do! When the Arctic Monkeys have sold out that many gigs and had that many number ones - only then can he have the right to make comments like that - and that will never happen. Get over yourself mate and grow up! Posted by Jaki at 09:53PM | October 30, 2006 How Dare they put down Take That. I think its just a big case of the green eyed monster thing the artic monkeys are rubbish now. i did like them but i'm sorry nobody slags off my boys. they music has now been smashed and in my rubbish bin. good riddens Posted by Sarah at 10:00PM | October 30, 2006 what a silly comment to make. take that are the best band around and always will be. proof given by the fact that they can sell a tour in 30 mins after 10yrs away! when others can do the same mayb then they should comment. until then stay silent and show some respect. Posted by jenny at 10:04PM | October 30, 2006 THIS IS THE BIGGEST PILE OF $h!t ANYONES EVER SAID .... WHO ARE THEY TO JUDGE PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE FAMOUS THAN THEM AND ALSO WHO THEY DO NOT KNOW... THE MONKEYS WILL BE UNHEARD OF IN A FEW YEARS AND TAKE THATS NAME WILL STILL BE LIVING ON!!!!!! Posted by KRISSIE at 10:15PM | October 30, 2006 Erm Arctic Monkeys jealous much? I think so! Until they can come back in 10 years time and still have the success they have from singing with a very put on northern accent and singing f***ing depressing bollocks, then i think really he needs to stop sniffing the glue or the coke or whatever it is that makes him think hes superior to everybody else, grow up and shut the f*** up, Alex! Youre $h!t, and you know you are!! Posted by Nicky Appleton at 10:16PM | October 30, 2006 take that was/are $h!t Posted by timmy tucker at 10:20PM | October 30, 2006 Who do they think they are these artic monkeys. They will really wish they kept they little pip squeak mouths shut. How dare they slag off Take That. What do they think they have that Take That doesnt ummm let me think. Do The Artic Monkeys Have? 9-10 Number one hits ( Nope) 99% of the female population wanting to rip there cloths off ( Nope) Can they sing ( Nope) Dance ( Nope Play drums, piano/keyboards, bass, electric guitar well ( nope) Can they have millions of women screaming at them ( nope) Do they make you laugh ( nope) Are they sexy ( nope) Can they sing and do a fantastic dance routine at the same time ( nope) Will they split up and in 10 years time have a massive come back ( nope) Now let me think artic monkeys are you better then Take That i dont think so. So if i were you i'd think before you open your big traps again.. From all Take That fans around the world!!!!!!! Posted by Sarah at 10:24PM | October 30, 2006 Jealous much?! id like to see them come back in ten years and sell out stadiums, no one will remember them i 1 year, never mind 10! Bad move making that comment boys, take that have more respect in the music industry than you think. Posted by Laura at 10:26PM | October 30, 2006 Another jealous male lol. Boys you will never learn Posted by Sarah at 10:27PM | October 30, 2006 mmm artic monkeys, you feeling a bit green with envy you sad pathetic little boys! Posted by shell at 11:01PM | October 30, 2006 Oh dear, sad why of trying to get attention. Bit like a child not getting what they wanted in the supermarket, throw a little tantrum. Fact is you haven't got a leg to stand on mate, lets see where you are in 10 years time or make that 14 years since Take That first came on the music scene. Good luck trying to get the same success musically and otherwise like Take That did and still have after all this time, because you will need it! Posted by Jenny at 11:35PM | October 30, 2006 'sharp intake of breath' haha, i dont think they quite realised how respected Take That are. Just because you've produced ONE (count it) ONE 'ok' album doesn't mean you can go round slagging off legends in the pop world. Stupid boy tried to be controversial but ended up looking like a jealous little boy. Posted by hannah at 11:49PM | October 30, 2006 OH, f*** off!!! Take that are way better than you small boys!!! They can sing, you can't!!! Thay can play their own instrument and sound great, you can't!!! They are the kings of all british band for the '90s!!!! Posted by Ida at 12:01AM | October 31, 2006 Where to start!? I think the comment by The Arctic Monkeys was totally uncalled for, I mean it criticism is welcome if its constructive - This was not - Even if TT aren't your cup of tea, music wise, you have to show them respect, they've earned it! There aren't many true pop bands who could come back 10 years on and sell 550,000 concert tickets in a matter of hours! Mr Arctic Monkey was trying to be the big man but I think you can see from the responses posted here, already, that he's vastly underestimated the mighty mighty Take That and their fiercely loyal fan base! Posted by Rachel at 12:10AM | October 31, 2006 Hes so ugly..this guy)))) Posted by Stew at 12:14AM | October 31, 2006 oh dear oh dear.......... what have they said??? i bet take that have shown more dignity and respect and have not responded to this ridiculous comment that has made the arctic idiots look like fools??? i did like them once but wont listen to them again, album in the bin for me now me thinks......... the arctic who?????? KNOBS Posted by carly at 12:30AM | October 31, 2006 "I don't know much....." You know what? You should have just left it at that. I'll tell you one thing you obviously DO know - slagging off a band who are HUGE gets you publicity! It's a cheap shot but I guess if Take That weren't so popular you wouldn't have even bothered! I'm taking it as a compliment! Posted by toastful at 01:51AM | October 31, 2006 guess the monkey boy learnt slagging off take that from east 17? poor boy, he picked the wrong model. show some respect dude. Posted by jc at 03:00AM | October 31, 2006 Just plain inappropriate boys. Like your music as I do Oasis, but not so sure about the adolescent posturing. Is it necessary? A cheap and misaimed publicity stunt that completely misreads our re-evaluation of Take That's work. Didn't really appreciate how good TT were when they were first around but having them back is like a breath of fresh air. Everything feels so cynical nowadays. And though I was too cool to say it ten or so years ago........Gary Barlow really is a genius! Posted by Jez at 07:03AM | October 31, 2006 I remember them making arses of themselves after winning the Mercury Prize too, slagging off one of the journalists for the way he looked. They may have a few good tunes and the world's attention at the moment but they have so much to learn - RESPECT, TACT and some COMMON SENSE. Picking on Take That is such a cheap shot. Take That's achievements far outweigh anything Arctic Monkeys can even dream of. Posted by Alex at 07:35AM | October 31, 2006 I do love the arctic monkeys but i love Take That WAAAAYYY more. There was no point in saying that seems as Take That are a totally different genre to the monkeys but everybody no's that Take That are the greatest band around and are (and always will) rule music scene for many more reasons than 'good tunes innit' (a quote from alex turner at the mercury prize awards). Taje That are amazing and its true, when the arctic monkeys split, no-one will be that bothered and they certainly wont need a samaritain helpine set up to console distriut fans! I rest my case! I think the green eyed monster got a hold of alex turner for a minute dont you think? Maybe he should keep his mouth shut at awards from now on, eh? And also, he should publicly apologise, not that Take That would be bothered by such a pety little comment coming from an immature little boy like alex turner! Posted by Louisa at 08:07AM | October 31, 2006 Hmmm Not done yourselves any favours with the people that count have you!! The fans remember we are the ones who buy the music!!!! And never ever forget where you,re coming from because by slagging off one of the greatest bands of our times whatever music style your into you,ve gone and dug a very deep deep hole for yourselves. Good luck with the album sales boys because you'll need it!! Posted by shelly at 08:42AM | October 31, 2006 Take That are legends. Arctic Monkeys are snotty kids who have let all the hype go to their heads. I predict that they wont be around in 10 years. Posted by * at 08:46AM | October 31, 2006 what a scummy man. Posted by jb at 08:47AM | October 31, 2006 The Artic who??? Exactly what have they achieved? Take That are having so much success they are jealous! Posted by Gemma Morris at 08:48AM | October 31, 2006 They're just jealous - i'd like to see the Artic Monkeys sell out loads of stadium and arena shows!!! They're just after a bit of press obviously! Posted by rebecca at 09:07AM | October 31, 2006 I presume his girlfriend fancies one of them and he can't take it.. Get a grip Alex - everyone else's boyfriend has had to put up with it. Well done boys for not responding - who needs to? When was the last time they sold 275,000 tickets in less than 2 hours? Posted by Anna at 09:52AM | October 31, 2006 Don't be so jalous, Alex Turner! You should be ashamed of yourself! Posted by Sussi at 10:16AM | October 31, 2006 haven't we always been told that bullying (which effectively this is) is only done by insecure people?! Its fine to express your opinion, but do you really have to be so course about it Mr monkey?! Well done for successfully p***ing off half the nation. Posted by anon at 10:23AM | October 31, 2006 to be honest artic monkeys are the biggest load of $h!t, i would like to see if they can have a sell out tour 10 years afer they split up and actually look halve decent on a video waht a bunch of w****rs Posted by adele flurry at 10:29AM | October 31, 2006 Another idiot talking out of his arse! They've been around for five minutes and they are already shouting the odds. Alex Turner doesn't have a clue! I'll give the Artic W***ers a year, and I'm being very generous, before they split! Posted by Alison at 11:20AM | October 31, 2006 Trying to be bad boys eh? Well we'll see the if the Artics have the same following down the line. Have respect for your elders boys. You just look stupid. Posted by Maire at 11:41AM | October 31, 2006 Stuff the Arctic Monkeys, the are B*****ks anyway. Lets see if they are still selling out stadiums in 10 years time, or even next year !!! Posted by stuzyk at 11:52AM | October 31, 2006 A little Bit of Jealousy Boys? Take that could kick your ass any day when it comes to long term popularity. I'd like to see you sell out in 10 years time. Not going to happen you're just a flash in the pan. Posted by Vanessa Elmes at 12:39PM | October 31, 2006 Oh, are the Arctic Monkeys still around? That suprises me. Considering the poppy, highly unlegendary and forgetable noises that they produce I'm suprised that these spotty teenagers are still signed. Posted by Jo at 01:08PM | October 31, 2006 ooo, dear, dear, dear me!! bit of the green eyed monster there!....very sad! lets see if the arctic monkeys can make a huge come back in 10 years time & sell out stadium & arena tours! they can only dream of the success take that have had (past & present!)....take that = LEGENDS!!!....always will be!! Posted by suzanne at 01:12PM | October 31, 2006 Arctic Monkeys are a bunch of pre-pubescent little t**** who can only f***ing wish to sell the amount of concert tickets Take That have sold. They will have had their day within the year and I don't think they'll sell out stadiums if they decide to make a comeback in ten years! Posted by AH at 01:31PM | October 31, 2006 I don't think that trying to show the world that you are all somewhat endowed by acting like *%£*&^%* on the stage of an award ceremony is probably not the best idea. There is a time to shut up and a time speak. Have some respect for the people that do like Take That and stop being brainless bullies. Here's an idea...come to a Take That thing and try some of that *&%$. I can tell you...TT won't stick up for themselves but I will be the first to up to see just how much of men you actually are. And followed by an army of fans. What you fail to remember is that they wouldn't be as successful as they are now without all of us....so if they were "boll*&%$" back in the day then how come they are back with a vengence? Sing instead of practice academia....it's all explained. All you have done is allienate yourselves from a genre of fans (look it up if you are unsure)....and I am really looking forward to the time I get to meet you...then you'll see unnecessary bullying. Get a life, ditch the obvious jealousy and stick to your own noise... I'll see you soon. Posted by H B at 02:24PM | October 31, 2006 Spot on Alex. Take That should NOT be featured in Q magazine, I am considering cancelling my subscription. Posted by Spencer at 02:48PM | October 31, 2006 Oh no!!!! Cancel your subscription???? Gasp! Go on...I dare ya! Posted by H B at 02:59PM | October 31, 2006 Theres a great little DVD out at the moment called TT The Ulitmate Tour. Maybe the Arctic Monkeys should watch it, 65,000 people can't be wrong... and lets face they can only dream of enduring that kind of success and admiration. Posted by claire at 03:25PM | October 31, 2006 Well Take That where around along time before the Arctics i dont even know what songs they sing? Jealousy is such a sad thing perhaps the Arctics should start on oasis as oasis would get on like a house on fire with the Arctics as they are both just a cockey as one another and immature and need to learn to grow up. Just glad Take That didnt stoop to the other bands level that abused them on stage at the awards. I have been a take that fan scince i was 12 and am 27 now so Take That have dedicated fans and as for the Arctics in 10 years time lets See who remebers them. Posted by Lisa Dagger at 03:25PM | October 31, 2006 Is it just me, or are the vast majority of people on here who are castigating the poor little monkeys female?Coincidence? Out with the old in with the new i say... but really, take that-they should be in the hague and tried for crimes against humanity...after all they did let a little known fat dancer known as blooby williams out of his cage-cheers barlow and co-we know have to endure tripe like rudebox!!! Take that have got a lot to answer for! Posted by wickeduncleandre at 03:28PM | October 31, 2006 I totally agree with them having a lot to answer for (i.e. Robbie, Westlife, $h!te groups like Allsaints attempting to get back together etc) but they were THE ORIGINAL AND THE BEST in the 90's and as you can see, their fans, including myself, are truly loyal. There was no need for any twatish comments from 20 year old little urks who have only been around a very short time. Take That are fantastic at what they do and should not be insulted just for winning an award. What were they meant to do, turn it down?! They know where they come from even after all this success. A shame the Arctic Gibbons have forgotten their courtesy and manners towards other people. Oops better not say that incase they get their dads round to beat me up.. Posted by Katie at 03:38PM | October 31, 2006 f*** OFF!!!!!!! Posted by Kathryn at 03:43PM | October 31, 2006 When the dust has settled, think about this... have take that really produced an album (not including best offs) of pure greatness that will go down in musical history as a classic? NOOOOO! They've got a couple of alright pop tunes... but having blooby fwcking williams-i mean for christ sake-that's unforgivable!!! Burn the fat dancer!! Up the monkeys!! :) Posted by wickeduncleandre at 03:43PM | October 31, 2006 wot a little loser! get a lyf then mayb u'l earn ppls respect in the music industry an actually win an award! Posted by Emma at 03:45PM | October 31, 2006 up urs wickeduncleandre! Posted by emma at 03:47PM | October 31, 2006 TT aren't trying to be anything but a pop band that entertain people (and trust me, they do). Just don't understand the point of the comment! No album of theirs in particular will go down in musical history but i'm sure the band themselves will for the success, fanbase and fantastic sell out tours throughout the years. Posted by Katie at 03:48PM | October 31, 2006 Answer thwe question... u know i'm right... re-light my fire? Lu Lu-what the FWCK!!! Posted by wickeduncleandre at 03:48PM | October 31, 2006 HA HA HA how many albums ahave they sold compared to take that? how many awards have they compared to take that? how many venues have they sold out compared to take that? EXACTLY! Shut up and Go home little boy- Your mothers looking for ya!!! Posted by lizanne at 03:48PM | October 31, 2006 f*** OFF YOU UGLY MONKEYS Posted by Cristina at 03:49PM | October 31, 2006 Well actually lizanne... who's got the fastest selling debut album of all time on UK shores... yeh you've guessed it the monkeys... now fwck off and go and lsiten to angels and pretend someone actually gives a monkeys about your opinion! Posted by wickeduncleandre at 03:53PM | October 31, 2006 Take That rule!!!!! Posted by Alex Turner at 03:54PM | October 31, 2006 I'm not fat... i'm just big bones... and if you're gonna call someone fat-look no further than garry "i ate all the pies, cakes and pasties... in fact i ate the staff of gregs" barlow... by the way my new album is pants! Posted by Robbie "the fat dancer" williams at 03:56PM | October 31, 2006 If they're so god damn amazing then why do they give a damn about what Take That are doing?? Surely the Monkeys can't hear any of the "bollocks" music anyway with their heads so far up their own arses. Posted by Katie at 03:57PM | October 31, 2006 This is getting ridiculous now i think all us take that fans are trying to stick up for there band when it shouldnt of even been an issue because the monks are completlty diffrent they made the issue and know there fans are becoming abusive sets a good example doesnt it!!!!!!! Posted by shelly at 04:00PM | October 31, 2006 The reason the monkeys commented was... a cheap laugh-we all do it... oh look at the little kid dribbling all over himself...ha ha ha... exept in this case it's take that(not a little kid)-it's a metaphor for life really!!! How many women are actually getting any action on here... cause by the way your jumping to take that's defence, it appears there's a lot of sexual frustartions coming out in the form of an attack on the poor monkeys! Posted by wickeduncleandre at 04:04PM | October 31, 2006 I hope you was never bullied at school wickeduncleandre!! Because if you was you would never make comments like that to be laughed at because you dont like them!!. you,re parents must be so proud!!! Posted by shelly at 04:07PM | October 31, 2006 Was a bullied at school... nooo... i was the chilled out entertainer that brought happiness and laughter wherever i went... much like a modern day laurel and hardy/monty python/marx brothers rolled in to one-comedic genius package... But in reply to my parents being proud? I never met them they were ravaged my a herd of elephants while on safari in africa... as a result i was raised by a pack of hedgehogs with a disliking to take that you fat! Posted by wickeduncleandre at 04:11PM | October 31, 2006 Haha look at the comment above! Seriously though, I'm so proud of all these TT fans sticking up for the boys...think Alex underestimated the power TT actually have. And although the guys won't lower themselves to reply to your stupid little comment, we the loyal fans will certainly defend them til the end. Posted by Nic at 04:12PM | October 31, 2006 ha ha ha i make funny! Posted by wickeduncleandre at 04:13PM | October 31, 2006 Surely we can understand difference in genres here? Take That are classic pop and VERY successful at it - they are not trying to be obscure and Indie. Personally I think they have released classic pop albums, but that is just my opinion. Gary is a talented song writer for the genre he is aiming at. In terms of album sales / tour sales etc Take That have beaten the Monkeys hands down - I don't think anyone can argue with that. I predict that Alex will make some sort of apology pretty soon. My guess is that if he met them he'd apologise & grovel (probably has done already) as they are seen as genuinely nice guys by everyone who meets them. That is unless his jealousy gets in the way... Posted by Anna at 04:17PM | October 31, 2006 Grow up wickeduncleandre go and put on some rubbish Arctics and stop making comments about a band you know nothing about. I dont even know one of the Arctics songs so thats how good they are. At least take that dont abuse other bands just to get inches in the newspapers about there abuse to other bands memebers of the press. Enough said im just going to wait for your next comment now abusing tts fans and tt albums i sapose it gets u attention dosent it. Posted by Lisa at 04:21PM | October 31, 2006 Well actaully lisa, i was going to say will you marry me and have my children... as i've never been so touched by a post like yours before... it brought tears of joy to my eye... will you marry me... i'm really a secret take thater... back for good rocks! Up with take that down with the monkeys! The king is dead long live the king! Posted by wickeduncleandre at 04:26PM | October 31, 2006 Haha no love lost on here is there. Agree to disagree! Some people just need to put others down. The guy is only 20 isn't he? He might grow up one day (and whenever that day comes, Take That will still have hundreds of thousands of fans around the world guaranteed). Alex, can you say "Do you want fries with that?" Good :) Posted by Katie at 04:30PM | October 31, 2006 tell him to shove it Lisa!! X Posted by Anna at 04:31PM | October 31, 2006 Sorry to disapoint u wickedunlcleandre im already married and have 3 kids. And i dont go for attention seeking men as its not an attractive atribute. Posted by Lisa at 04:34PM | October 31, 2006 Take That are Legends! would the artic monkeys sell out their comback tour in a few hours if they made a comeback after 10years? dount it! FACE FACTS MONKEYS- TAKE THAT ARE BACK! Posted by Cerys Louise at 04:36PM | October 31, 2006 A comment like that is not cool. Take That are highly respected in the music industry and a cheap shot like that isn't going to get you any more fans. Posted by Ben at 04:46PM | October 31, 2006 How old is this guy? 20? He's just a child, of course he's going to make childish comments. Take That got the award he wanted so he had a strop. He just looks like an idiot, I'm glad TT didn't reply and look as ridiculous as he did. Posted by Nicola at 05:01PM | October 31, 2006 Hey Monkeys the zoo called - they want you back by 7. (TT forever) Posted by Cheryl at 06:01PM | October 31, 2006 Alex - needs to get himself down to Boots for some Clearasil. Lets see how many records/stadiums they'll be filling in 10 years time eh? & if they are still making records they'll be churning out the same jaded rubbish (i.e every track sounding the same)- not unlike Oasis are doing now. Don't get me wrong, I like indie music - but the scene is full of pretentious W***** - the last NME awards were just as bad. Posted by Heidi at 06:04PM | October 31, 2006 Arctic Donkeys more like it!!! Posted by Natalie at 06:19PM | October 31, 2006 That bloke from the s**t monkeys doesn't know what the f**k he's talking about. They definatly WON'T be around in a years time let alone being remember in 10!! At least TT are a pop band that write ALL of their own music and lyrics, play insturments AND CAN dance. Don't start slagging people off unless you are better than the people you're bad mouthing!! Posted by Pop at 06:22PM | October 31, 2006 Hahaha, I'm so proud of my fellow Take That fans. Like I said before...they might take the high road but we won't. We aren't going to let some spotty little boy - high on magic markers get away with things like this. They might have gotten an excellent response from us before but now they'll get nothing but grief. I can only hope that they do a public appearance somewhere soon and see just how much of a mistake it is to bully the loveliest people around. It'll be interesting to see. Take That !!!!!!!! Posted by H B at 06:22PM | October 31, 2006 Just to clarify: The fact is that the Idols Award is meant for pop acts and as the only pop act at the awards in a successful group that has proved itself in Europe, Asia and Oceania. Back For Good has been covered 89 times and Nobody can really remember the original versions of Cold It Be Magic or Relight My Fire. The only song in the pop charts as Pray these last three years with as much edge are Hey Yeah by Outcast and Smiley Faces by Gnarls Barkley. Arctic Monkeys are good musicians but have to prove themseves as performers. No one can deny that Take That look good on the dancefloor. Posted by Flamered at 07:50PM | October 31, 2006 So who are the Arctic Apes? Just heard about the comment and the idiot's right - he doesn't know much, but then again, their species is under developed and not quite evolved.....so I guess the fact they even know about Take That only goes to prove just how famous and brilliant they are, good on you Apes for proving that Take That is the biggest and best band in the world! Posted by Ashe at 08:12PM | October 31, 2006 Omg alex turner is a compplete and utter ledgend ...i love him like mad and arctic monkeys are the best band on the planet ! go alex turner ! nd well done ! wooo ! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Posted by Bonnie!x at 08:22PM | October 31, 2006 "Are you avin a laugh? IS HE AVIN A LAUGH????????????" t**** Posted by sophie at 08:45PM | October 31, 2006 Why would arctic monkeys be jealous of take that. They are the opposite of take that in every way shape and form. The monkeys dont want to come back in 10 years time to do a reunion tour. theyre here now to do what they love and play music. JUst turns out there dam good at it. Everyones making jibes about them being young, but that only means they grew up with take that and tbh, unless your a huge boyband fan, they are $h!t. Everyone has there own opinion..everyone else is allowed to talk about it, people mention them about every 5 minutes, so whats to say he shouldnt say something. Posted by sarah at 08:58PM | October 31, 2006 As a lot of other people have already said its obviously a case of jealousy. The little brat who made the comment doesn't have the talents of gary barlow, never will, and wouldn't know what to do with it if he did! They were hoping for everyone to fall at their feet and make a fuss of them, and when it didn't go their way they threw a tantrum like a small child. I know a five year old with more tact. Take That will always have a huge following and making comments like that is not going to do them any favours. Posted by sue at 10:04PM | October 31, 2006 Ah, the little boy Alex thinks he's such a clever little thing making nasty comments like that while his Beavis & Butthead mates snicker in the background. Very sad and totally uncalled for. That's the problem with kids these days, so jaded, cynical and disrespectful. I don't think he'll enjoy anywhere near the amount of success Take That have had and will continue to have. Alex Turner's just another jealous, inadequate little cretin spitting his dummy - he'll probably be back on the dole in a couple of years once people get sick of his depressing, bleak and monotonous "music". Posted by jensen at 10:11PM | October 31, 2006 it just makes me laugh the sad little "Take That Fans Union" that is going on here with everyone like "Yay! Go on boys!". it's pathetic, and all these people saying how arctic monkeys can't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Take That is billy bull $h!t because they have a 100% record succes, only album #1, two singels #1 other one top 10 and the album was the fastest selling debut album ever in UK and the numbers are there, this year Arctic Monkeys were second headliners in the Reading and Leeds festivals a total of 120,000+ people. Posted by pen*s at 10:25PM | October 31, 2006 who the f*** are the artic monkeys to dis take that? take that have had far more sucess than the monkeys, which reflects the fact they have far more talent!!!! monkeys are just a flash in the pan who will never have half the fan base tt have, if they were to split who wud give a $h!t, there would be no need for help lines and no tears shed!!!! monkeys are just nobodys who lack in personality so in order to get the media to notice them slag off big talented bands like tt simply to get noticed!!!!!!!! i h8 the monkeys and hope that then sooon split and all have horrid lives, in sort i hope them all the worse!!!!!!!! take that rule!!!!!!!! Posted by joshua at 10:45PM | October 31, 2006 Arctic Monkeys are so "successful" that they have to make comments about a boyband to get attention?! There is no comparison between the two, Take That are pop legends and the other lot have only just started and have completely different muis. Yet they seem to think they are big enough to make these comments. Who the f*** are they to start a fight with these 4 lads who still know where their routes are despite being millionnaires. GET A LIFE MONKEY BOY Concentrate on your own demise, not Take That's amazing come back. We love them, always have and always will. You don't wanna mess with hundreds of thousands of women and gay men, that's just suicide!! Posted by Katie at 11:14PM | October 31, 2006 Alex needs to have a think about where he might be in 10 years time. I think it's safe to say they won't be selling out Arena's and Stadiums in less than an hour! Get a grip Alex! Did your mum never tell you "If you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all" It is a valuable piece of advice that may help ensure us Take That fans don't scratch your eyes out! Take That are Back for Good, learn to live with it, it'll make it easier for you in the long run. Knob!!! Posted by Josie_Wosie at 11:16PM | October 31, 2006 I hope the Gary, Mark, Howard and Jason get a glimpse of this. Over one hundred comments and only a few of them supporting the pre-pubecscent gimps and the comments which came from nowhere. Not that they need to reaffirm the support they have wordwide. Sorry monkeys but the MEN of Take That are too busy concentrating on having an actual life to worry about your comments. But of course the loyal fans will always stick up for them. Thank you guys xx Posted by Katie at 11:27PM | October 31, 2006 God Bless the Arctic Monkeys, Arctic Monkeys R.I.P.!!!! There must be many Thatters out there who were previously Arctic Monkey's fans who helped them sell their Album so quickly (I am one of them) I can however tell you something for free, not another penny of mine will line an Arctic Monkey pocket! Take That are "Back For Good", ladies (& Thatter gents) we just need to "Have A Little Patience" and the Arctic Monkeys will disappear back under the rock they came out from. Arctic's, you looked good on the dance floor but we are " Satisfied" that there is "Nobody Else" out there like our boys. So while you are "Holding Back The Tears" as you wave your career goodbye we are "Sure" you will "Hate It" every time you remember that "You Are The One" who dug your own grave and "It Only Takes A Minute" for a legion of fans turn their backs on you. "Love Ain't Here Anymore" for you guys as far as I am am concerned. WE NEVER FORGOT AB OUT KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE (www.take-that.co.uk) and our "Patience" paid off. It is a "Beautiful World" now that Take That are back in it!!!!! Posted by goldengirlno13 at 12:27AM | November 1, 2006 Lol, the previous comment was cute. Anyway, I would say something smart, but unfortunately I don't know who the Arctic Monkeys are... I've heard the name, but not heard any songs from them. So they're young and make comments about Take That? lol... well, people are going to make these kind of comments because of Take That's past. But like has been mentioned here, boyband or not, they are pop legends. Extremely sexy too... hm, yeah... and the new song Patience sounds great. Posted by Korsy at 01:32AM | November 1, 2006 LMFAO Genius comment by goldengirlno13 IM A PROUD MEMBER OF www.take-that.co.uk and im also proud that i brought this to my fellow thatters attention too!! =0D Also as many have said. not another penny of mine will go on the Arsehole Donkeys!! you have made a big mistake by doing this take that have a bigger following that you lil fellas could ever dream of .. come back in 10 years and sing to sold out stadiums of over 60,000 people sell number one albums singles ect have and gain respect as high as theirs and then maybe just maybe you can give a slight comment on them untill then boys keep living the dream under take thats shadow because their boots will forever be too big for you idiots!! YOU SURE GOT PUBLICITY FOR DOING THIS BUT YOU KEEP RIDING OFF THE BACKS OF REAL STARS AND ONE DAY U MAY GROW UP TO BE FAMOUS YASELF TOO!! Posted by KRISSIE at 02:05AM | November 1, 2006 Arctic Monkeys are a load of c**p there want to keep there comments to them self wot i read in a paper there should of let mark owen over over to them but he got stopped. Posted by lisa at 06:16AM | November 1, 2006 ooh dear getting a little heated on here now. I perosnally think that the A/M were trying to cause some controversy because they feel they need to.... In response to WickeduncleAndre: All i will say is that TT are not about being part of the "pretentious music scene" or producing an iconic album - they brought Pop back to the charts in the 90s and thank god that they are about to do it again!! You've got to admit that most of the chart hits have been pretty dire recently. Another slump in the music scene and TT have come to the rescue once again. I for one can't wait to hear the new album.... TT is a lifestyle not fad Posted by petra at 09:08AM | November 1, 2006 And he is a jumped up piece of s**t that no one cares about. The only reason he said that is because he has as much talent as my right buttock and is jealous of the amount of money Take That are earning.
March 11, 200718 yr I've Lost All My respect I ever had for arctic monkeys I Highly agree with you Dino, i used to think they were good but after saying that, they disgust me, and reading what u posted :angry:
March 11, 200718 yr Author Come on Arctic.... wtf man!!! you wouldn't be happy if they dissed westlife which they haven't done yet.... :P
March 11, 200718 yr Author yeah i knoww. which is the reason they slagged them off? well im sure they'll say something about westlife soon B) and it will be alot harder then what they said about take that
March 11, 200718 yr Author what did they said and y?? about who westlife?? they havent said anything about them yet anyway....
March 11, 200718 yr Arctic Monkeys wont bother to diss Pondlife..They are too miserable to be even slagged off. Everyone already knows they're $h!t.
March 11, 200718 yr Author aout take that i didn't understand what they said on the video Alex Turner(of arctic monkeys) said: I'm not old enough to know a lot of them but even I know Take That were always f***ing bollocks."
March 11, 200718 yr Nothing they say means much to me -_- ...TT are riding high and that makes me very HAPPY! :cheer:
March 11, 200718 yr Gaz was diplomatic in his interview though afterwards. He said they were young and entitled to their opinions but you should be careful who you slag off as in five years time it could come round to bite you on the a*se big time! Then he said he thought Razorlight were better anyway! Kathy I think the monkeys illustrated what prats they were with their pathetic video link at the Brits anyway. They thought they looked cool - but they just looked like village idiots! Edited March 11, 200718 yr by kathyp
