If it's the latter: That's an actual James Brown tune. Literally the lyrics. Not as confused as I am at your confusion. Of course those are the lyrics.

Wasn’t into their records so doubt I’ll ever bother. I think it’s safe to say they won’t ever headline Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woffy standing like a rock in the crowd with his arms folded and a face like Nora Batty. Not having any of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm confused as to why you're confused about my confusion. I was trying to work out whether the poster was being sarcastic that James Brown has given the crowd instructions/used the term "take it to the bridge", so why is it an issue that Dizzee does it. I explained how it's completely different as those are actually lyrics, as opposed to the shite DR was coming out with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 It's the Arctic Monkeys' disinterest in being there - or whether or not the audience are even enjoying themselves - that makes them so distinctive a live proposition. They've taken one look at acts like James Brown who try to whip up some enthusiasm and decided that there has to be a better, more static and underwhelming way.

I’m sure you have a deep, deep musical knowledge of every genre under the sun but unfortunately your average festival goer doesn’t. So where does that leave us? Happy mediums between credibility, innovation and mass appeal. Like I said point me in the direction of suitable acts better fitting.

Never thought they look disinterested any time I've seen them personally. Singers/bands all have their own style and personalities. If their music does the talking I'm happy with that. Some need the reassuring enthusiasm of old Rasc. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad someone else noticed the turn this thread has taken. I'm not really an AM fan at all but the criticism of their live shows is a bit daft.

Amy Lawn Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Somebody came.out of the woodwork to say why do we never give the Arctic Monkeys shit for being shit live and then some people gave them shit for being shit live and then some proper haircuts got proper upset and here we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
