Posted January 22, 200817 yr Arctic Monkeys have decided to snub the Brit Awards to avoid clashing with Take That at the ceremony, say reports. The Sheffield rockers upset the veteran boyband by calling them a "load of b*******" at the 2006 Q Awards and are worried they may lose out to Gary Barlow's band on live TV next month. Both Take That and Arctic Monkeys are nominated for the Best Group, Single and Album gongs. According to The Mirror, organisers are keen to persuade the indie band to appear at the event because they believe the feud will make great TV. "There is a distinct lack of indie bands at this year's awards and there was a slim hope that Arctic Monkeys might come and add a bit of rock 'n 'roll to the event," said a source. "Everyone knows they aren't big on awards and, at the moment, they seem to have no intention of coming. It's a shame, as their ongoing feud with Take That could have added a real spark to proceedings." Organisers are hoping that the possibility of appearing onstage with Paul McCartney, who has won this year's Lifetime Achievement Award, will persuade the band to attend. A source added: "They may go to the afterparty if Sir Paul has one. They went to the Oasis party at Cuckoo Club last year. "Or, if they were asked to duet with him at the end of the show, I think Alex and the lads would find it hard to turn down." Source: Digital Spy Thoughts? :o
January 22, 200817 yr Its just the Mirror making up nonsense stories again ... and their fascination with The Brit awards is funningly told here! http://www.scenta.co.uk/music/news/1714197...t-the-brits.htm If the Monkeys don't appear at the awards - it'll be nothing to do with Take That. They didn't turn up last year because they said they were busy making a video or something when everyone knew they were just a few doors down the road. Norma

The Mirror are making a moutain out out of molehill. The Arctics comments were, well, not the most complementitive but I don't think they have anything against Take That, and likewise Take That with the Arctic Monkeys. I dare say now Alex will be eating humble pie over the comments he made in 2006! :lol:

January 22, 200817 yr Author I've just realised I used the word 'funningly' is there such a word? Norma I don't think so. :lol: :P
January 22, 200817 yr I don't think so. :lol: :P Here's a link to part of an interview that gives an insight into that so called 'spat'. As you can see - it was something and nothing, Take That certainly thought it was quite hilarious anyway - and I'm sure the Monkeys did too. http://video.msn.com/?mkt=en-gb&fg=&am...&from=34/64 Norma
