Arctic Monkeys have continued their
Brit Awards success by picking up
Best group and
Best Album gongs at this year's event. It is the third time they have done so, cementing their place ever deeper in the halls of rock. The
Sheffield band's frontman
Alex Turner treated the audience to an acceptance speech in his deadpan
Yorkshire accent, joking that he would not be delivering a thank-you list that no-one wanted to hear. His sarcastic sense of humour spilled over into the winners' room after the victory. When asked about the night
Alex told reporters: "We're really delighted to be here tonight. We've had a great time. It was wonderful to perform before.
Having our name on fire was something I was really looking forward to." In a more sobering thought he added that although the awards were great, they shouldn't represent talent. As wonderful as it is to be acknowledged for something you've created I don't necessarily think the talent or how good a group of musicians is is necessarily directly proportional to the size of their trophy cabinet. That's not to be like a downer on it.
It's been great to be here," he said. Arctic Monkeys appeared on the scene after their first single,
I Bet That You
Look Good On The
Dancefloor, went to the top of the charts in
October 2005. At the time, they had the fastest-selling debut
album in chart history, shifting more that
360,
000 copies in its first week.
