I wasnt at the gig, but personally I think their new stuff comes in a very, very poor second to the debut album, and I’ve totally gone off the band, having seen them play a couple of times before the debut was out and a few more since. It’s not the same anymore.

All this rubbish about ‘too old to know the gig scene’ and ‘wrong about the atmosphere’ leveled at the people who didnt like it is just ludicrous though. It’s called opinion, and quite reasonably expressed it was, too. No need to get personal, just deal with it.

To danny o Mahony.

Where the hell were you for this gig? how can you say the crowd were hung back not caring about the band? You obviously missed 99% of the concert. I saw loads of people with cuts on there faces and people fallen on the ground such was the sheer energy and electricity in the standing area, also look at any video on you tube and you’ll see just how good the atmosphere was! I got my ticket at de last moment from a friend as i was’nt a very big arctic monkeys fan, but after that performance i’ve become obsessed. I’ve also done my research on Alex turner, the singer, and have found he doesn’t drink or do drug so he obviously wasn’t off his face.

you my friend are perhaps to old for the gig scene, or maybe you deliberately wrote a poor review just to sound like you know what your on about, but most of what ypu said was wrong.

I never thought there was such a thing as a bad gig, i mean if u are a big enough fan of a band any chance to see them live will blow your mind right??
Iv been at many gigs in my time and i have to say this is the first time iv ever been bored at one. The new songs were terrible killed any bit of atmosphere that was there after their biggest songs and the singer was so of his face he could nt even get his words out properly. Never before have i been at a concert that so many people just hung back from the crowd not caring about the band. This was without a doubt the worst gig iv ever had the misfortune to attend never mind pay money for.

you make them sound as if their new songs were terrible. i felt the crowd around me was absolutly buzzed about the new songs. I was expectin way less from their new ones but they blew me away in all fairness. the tshirt was a bit of humour but clearly not the best entertainment. amazin show

Harsh enough review. I thought the new songs sounded excellent and that the gig was also excellent. Only behind the Pixies and Blur as Irish gig of the year for me
