Dr Gloom 21924 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I used to love this band. And Turner came across like a sweet, humble kid. I still like their music, but it's not as good as their early stuff and now he comes across like a coked up Noel Gallagher wannabe, minus the charm. We were watching this through our fingers on my sofa last night, it's so cringeworthy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDpiBCdAZr0&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30616 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Even the other three are standing behind him hoping that he shuts the fuck up. I don't mind the AM but it's hard to tell in interviews whether Turner is shy or just got nothing of interest to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44888 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't mind that. He's probably sat through a night of utter tedium and terrible music, he's clearly drunk and he's a frontman in a band and therefore meant to act the knob at these things.

Gemmill 44888 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 For info, when my upcoming genre-defining dance album goes quadruple platinum, you can expect to see a lot more stuff like this at music award ceremonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonatine 11385 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Least watched Brit Awards this Century apparently. And as for that Bruno Mars fella, what's that all about? He's the Lidl equivalent of Michael Jackson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30616 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 The biggest problem seems to be that he thinks that winning a Brit means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I took as him taking the piss and being a bit dry but it going over the heads of all but a few. I took it as tongue in cheek. I don't mind Alex Turner and if being a bit of an arse at an event (where corporate shills schmooze the talent in an effort to look "cool" by proxy, under a veil of an "Award ceremony") is the worst he gets, then I'm ok with that. It's the Brits... we don't get enough genuine talents anymore, there are too many identi-kit popstars toppling off the Cowell conveyor belt for them to get the recognition they deserve, so when an individual turns up I'm not going to mind him being a bit different.

The Fish 10857 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 People on here watch this shit? For shame. I'm guessing most people didn't watch the show but heard about the "controversy", so watched the clip on youtube and reacted to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44888 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) I didn't even know it was on. And I didn't know about the controversy until a lad at work told me to watch it and tell him what I thought.

Gemmill 44888 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 thinks he's as cool as Josh Homme or The Strokes... he isn't he's just a knob with annoying music that pop fans lap up The latest album is quality tbf. Imo obviously. Unless you're talking about genuine manufactured crap, music snobbery is nonsense anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7030 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't mind that.

He's a fucking bellend, clear as day. He's not Brian Johnson or Keith Moon. He sings in an indie band from Yorkshire ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33229 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm with Zanetti on this one, can't believe people watch these baftas/Brits/Oscars shit. P.S. Goes without saying but I'd never heard of the knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
