    It's not the he acts like a douchebag so much as him saying he's "proud to be from Sheffield," when at every opportunity acts like some Pseudo-American ie: something that he's not, like he's trying to separate himself from his earlier life. You can hear it in his music too, trading high energy guitar riffs for more slow, seductive, melodic lines. That's why people don't like the way he's changed.

    Ewacool The line: "you're not from New York City, you're from Rotherham" springs to mind here. That said, he has a history of changing styles and personas to fit the theme of each album, so I wouldn't judge him too harshly for it.

    I felt a little sad when he said, "I don't know, does anyone even wanna know what I think about it?" Like underneath all the leather jacket and hair gel, he's still the same kid who's too afraid to share his lyrics to his bandmates out of fear that they'll take the mick out of him.

    lol what I know are really just things from interviews. But yeah, there are several stuff that kind of shows that Al may not really be that confident in himself as he wanted people to believe, at least in the beginning. 1. When the band just got started, they didn't really have any lyrics to their songs, so they'd either sing gibberish or just play the instruments. Al secretly wrote some songs and worked up the courage to bring them to the rehearsal one day. 2. Al reallyyyy didn't want to be the frontman (at the beginning). People were trying to encourage him but he just didn't enjoy being the centre of the attention and for a while the band got someone to front instead (Glyn Jones, their schoolmate, was mentioned as AM's frontman at the time) 3. In some interviews, including ones from NME, Al mentioned creating some sort of an act/character for his performance so that he could come to terms performing in front of the crowd.

    most of the people who are (trying to be) artists, whether visual or textual, are like this, honestly. generally speaking, it's in an artist's mindset to never be 'over the moon!!!' with what you're creating. i studied photography and one teacher told us the most accurate thing: "you are your own worst critic."

    Yes, in other interviews he has already stated that people think that being the lead singer of a band brings confidence and security in being who you are, but that with him it is not like that, he only does it because he likes it. Alex is getting more and more drunk and drugged on stage to support this persona he brought to please fans who have always complained about his lack of presence during the shows. If you listen to "Bourne Identity" he wrote for The Last Shadow Puppets, you'll see who the real Alex is...

    "You're rarer than a can of dandelion & burdock, and those other girls are just post-mix lemonade." It's so hard to properly explain how well Alex has managed to capture British social culture in his lyrics. They span so much of what his audience can relate to - the first two albums are like gospel for the youth of our generation - binge-drinking, girl-chasing, story-topping and the fear of growing up. Then albums 3 and 4 are more introspective, almost lonely in their stories of lost loves and bizarre dreams never quite realised. As if being on top of the world is all well and good but doesn't fill the most important holes (Love is a Laserquest and Cornerstone are great examples of this). There are always the nods back to nights out and taxis home, even more so in AM which now embraces so much of the swagger and rock & roll that living in LA and sustained success has brought them, but hidden in all of Josh Homme's sexy sounds are lyrics that still describe an awkward working class lad fumbling through relationships and worshipping girls who he knows are too good for him. Most importantly, throughout his whole career, Alex has managed to steer clear of cliches in favour of colloquialisms and everyday, relatable, tangible symbols and metaphors. All of this sung with his familiar Northern twang, and you find it impossible not to identify with him in some way. Everyone from Sheffield around my age feels like they sort of own the Arctic Monkeys and their songs; as if there's a private little space in each of us where they sit nice and snug, and we do a little internal knowing nod to each other when we hear them in a bar or on the radio. But I don't think it's just us, I think all of Britain and maybe some of the rest of the world too can feel a bit like this when we hear their music, and that's what makes them so great. Why I'm preaching and waffling all this to a few random sods on the internet I don't know, but I bloody love the Arctic Monkeys. So there.

    +Jamie Stevenson Really respect what you have said mate, im over 't hills in manny, and it's same deal for my generation, im in my 40's but absolutely love the monkeys, just because i know talent when i hear it. But the smiths and roses did a similar deal when i was younger. And even to some extent, in the late 70's the specials with ghost town, wrote a song there that really encapsulated english life at that time.. Its great when you find a rare thing that you connect with on so much more than just hearing or liking a song. something that just wraps its self on you and enters the fiber of your being.. funny how music does that thing... It happened recently with a classical bit of music, a guy called martin jacoby, its called we will live forever, i was playing it to get my baby son to sleep, but it just really got to me inside. Im finding the more i open up, the more i find i enjoy music more. Anyway your not waffling or preaching pal, just someone who gets it..

    "The smiles as she walked in the room Have all turned into frowns am I too quick to assume That the love is no longer in bloom? The tantrums and the tears play a very different tune To what they did before, her heads red raw And the ending doesn't sound like they're happiest around When you sobbed before it felt much more like the product of a squabble Now there's reason for it to be something more And no would be, oh, it's uncertain Whether the curtain has shut for good She says, "see if it's still raining I'm not dressed for it and if you loved me-" And I interrupt to receive the scowl and stare But still decided to stop her there... Would it be outrageous to say? We're either shouting or we're shagging Locked in tempestuous phase At least that's how we felt yesterday The eyes are getting heavier and whether you're asleep or awake is a mystery Would a kiss be too much to ask? When you fit me as sunday's frozen pitch Fits the thermos flask It's a pity, it just hit me, we can't go back To the chest touching on the back" 'Too much to ask' b-side from 'Flourescent Adolescent'
