A Message Regarding Album Title/Daily Sun... |
|
On behalf of all the Arctic Monkeys fans, namely those who reside at the band's Official Forum, We would like to say thank you for finding out the origin's of the new Arctic Monkeys album....5 WEEKS LATE!
As reported in the Daily Sun two days ago, the new album title "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" is a quote taken from the movie "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning" but unfortunately, The Sun weren't the first to discover this, as both they and NME claimed.
The good old Arctic Monkeys faithful at the official forum discovered months ago that the title was from the movie and they go without due credit.
keep it up, fans. |

Arctic Monkeys Play Down Expectation |
|
Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner fears the hype surrounding the band could make their forthcoming debut album a "disappointment".
The band's first LP 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' is released next Monday following months of plaudits from the music press.
But Turner fears the media attention is out of control and expectations about the record could be too high.
"For where we're at it is too much, compared to what stage we're at as a band," he said.
"We're just starting really. [The attention] sets the record up to be a disappointment.
"As good as we know it is, it's like it'll be built up to such a thing that if it doesn't cure cancer or solve inner city poverty or something it'll be a disaster. But people get carried away, don't they? Fair enough."
Drummer Matt Helders added: "It's flattering for people to say we're the next big thing.
"It's nice to hear. But you don't want it to go so far that it's not about the music, that it's about people being told to like it.
"I don't want people to like us for the wrong reasons. But I think people aren't stupid. They can see through it and realise that they do actually like us."
