Arctic Monkeys were heckled during their homecoming show at Sheffield Octagon last night.
But rather than being at the receiving end of abuse, the Arctic Army were begging for a rendition of Girls Aloud’s ‘Love Machine’ which the band recorded for Radio 1 last month.
Alex Turner aptly told the crowd to ‘fuck off’ saying: “Is that all you like us for? Fuck off, we can’t remember how to play it.â€
Elsewhere in the gig, Arctic Monkeys debuted new track ‘Leave Before The Lights Come On’ which was greeted with a less than emphatic reaction, to which Alex replied: “Fucking hell, don’t sound so enthusiastic, we’ll get back to the classics afterwards.â€
Fortunately, Maximo Park had stepped aside to allow the Monkeys to headline the gig, allowing Paul Smith and co. to play to the first entirely full room of the tour.
