what you make of arctic monkeys on tuesday? i heard it wasnt too good due to alex turner being pissed off at the crowd for bottling the horrors, i went on the wednesday and it was mint but alex turner was proper wasted and only really woke up midway during the set, not as good as at old trafford but still mint, the venue was probably too big and filled with morons
