    THE GUARDIAN - As new album AM is released, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner tells Harriet Gibsone about his 50 Cent fantasies, and drummer Matt Helders explains why the band have gone 'sexy' after resisting the urge for so long. The arrangements and production of several new tracks are 'inspired by the architecture of R&B', says Turner 'but I wouldn't want to live there'.

    Its incredible how Alex is so orally weak talking with someone in a conversation, but, at the same time, he has a perfect, impeccable diction, when he is singing. For example, when he sings at a rapid pace he does not leave a word or a syllable behind (Teddy Picker, R u Mine, This House is a Circus, etc.). In terms of diction, he is one of the best vocalists i´ve ever heard in my life. Its kind of ironic.

      Honestly, I think he is high as hell. If you look at the most recent interview with him (the BBC one), he talks way better and more interestingly, but in this interview he just looks high out of his damn mind

      The music industry is a scary place, I can’t name one person who doesn’t do drugs or at least smokes/drinks alcohol to get over the pressure and the stress. I love the Monkeys and i hope Alex is taking care, he looks like he’s on cocaine in most interviews because he wasn’t like this in earlier interviews, although some people say he’s just awkward, y’know?

    Bloody hell, what is everyone on about with this interviewer? Just because she's talking in a low volume, and wears rather arty clothes doesn't mean she's too shy and doesn't deserve to interview them. Plus maybe it's just hear rather posh accent? Then again, every accent sounds posh compared to Mats's and Alex' Yorkshire. Just leave her alone.
