Razorlight - 'We're better than Arctic Monkeys' |
|
Razorlight - in an attempt to draw the spotlight once again - have hit out at the Arctic Monkeys.
When asked by NME whether the group feel like Arctic Monkeys are better than his band, singer Johnny Borrell replied:
"What? Of course I fucking don't. I wouldn't say they're better than the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, either. Or The Strokes, or even like The Libertines were for those five minutes when they were brilliant. But they deserve it because the door was open for them and they blew the hinges off.""

razorlight are just a bunch of hippies, how can they criticise ne 1

everyone's entitled to their opinion and of course hes not gonna say that the arctic monkeys are a better band than his. But i reckon hes just a tad bit jealous haha

razorlight has forgotten that arctic monkeys r very good for a band their age, even though they may not b the best band in the world. im sure razorlight weren't as good as arctic monkeys when they were their age.

razorlight are crap. johnny borrells just a poser and a self promoter. i don't know how he can say something like that when he produces music like golden touch something which really seems as if it was written for radio 2. they are everything thats wrong with rock today. snobby indie hipster types. wankers

i kinda like razorlight and i dont care who they want to critisise but they are not better than arctic monkeys, arctics have already got more realy good songs but some razorlight stuff is just crap
By connelly on 17 May 2006 01:40 pm
i love golden touch myself and somewhere else is one of my favourites too but johnny borrell needs to stop acting like a dickhead and getting working on some songs which might possibly come close to rivalling alex's. Until then he needs to just shut the hell up cos he doesn't know what the hell hes talkin about

razorlight are the kind of band personified by fake tales of san fransisco. trilbys and image and shit like that. hes just embarrased

Who the f*ck are these razorlight?
the name sounds gay anyway. For what i know they could blow out to space or crash into a train that it wouldnt bother me or anyone that loves artic monkeys.
razorlight - for f*ck sake give up your guitar playing and dedicate yourselfs to putting anyone´s dicks on your pretty mouths!
Long live the ARTIC MONKEYS!
ROCK ON!

Here's some more:
Famous for his self-belief, Borrell has also revealed that he still feels like a genius, explaining: "When I said it, I certainly felt like more of a genius than the awful bands NME were championing... And a lot of the bands around now are pretty average. So, if you ask me if I feel like a genius compared to them, then yeah, I do."
He added: "I feel like a genius more than most people, that's for sure."

I'm not a huge Razorlight fan as well as not being a huge arctic monkeys fan. but for people to be calling johnny borell stupid for saying he thinks his band is better than the arctic monkeys is hardly suprising. I mean he's bound to like his own band isn't he.
By joe on 17 May 2006 08:33 pm
matt or summun should headbutt johnny... that's peter taught him a lesson!
By Melodie on 17 May 2006 09:38 pm
wow this johnny guy is a HUGE faggit. wtf? ive never even heard of razor light before and i think its so gay that hes bashing other bands i hate when bands do that. im not surprised he said his band is better though who wouldnt?, but saying hes a genius and shite. what a wank

hahahaha, plsss, Razorlight sucks, seriously, this guy should respect them for how far the monkeys have gotten despite their young age
By karla on 22 May 2006 01:29 am
