“Don’t be silly. The Arctic Monkeys are not a band. That’s a showbiz construct. A mockery. That’s very much like that awful band Green Day or Avril Lavigne. It’s not right. They’re using our wings to make money on something they never helped create for themselves. They don’t advance. They’re stuck in a time warp and not writing from the heart. Once you recognise the four walls of a genre and stick inside them, you are not writing from the heart.

He (Alex Turner, Sänger der Arctic Monkeys, Anm.) just turns on the computer and types in “punk” and it goes ping. I see no gutwrenching soul-searching going on there. Just pleasant little ditties.”

(John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten, Sänger der Sex Pistols und von Public Image Ltd. über die Arctic Monkeys, Avril Lavigne und Green Day in einem Interview mit dem britischen Musikmagazin Q)
