-Thank you. -One two. Is this on?

-This is on. -He had the loudest clap just now.

Alex, how do you feel? Has it been a good night for you as a band at the Brits this year?

Yes, thank you Huw. And it's young.

The night is young, absolutely. You're the first band ever to win Best Group and Best

Album three times. That's a hell of an achievement. Is it weird because you're still so young?

You still feel so fresh. Every album's a reinvention. Is it strange look back that you've done so

well at the Brits three times before?

-Is it strange? Is that what you said? Is this on? -Yeah, how does it feel?

It's got to tell you something. Three times. It's unanimous. No yeah, it's obviously...

It's still like unnatural experience I suppose. But much appreciated.

I think it. We're really delighted to be here tonight. We've had a great time. It was wonderful

to perform before and have our name on fire was something I've been really looking forward to.

Yeah, but I think... You know, as wonderful as it is to be acknowledged for something

you've created, I don't necessarily think that...

The talent of a group of musicians is necessarily directly proportional to the size of their

trophy cabinet, you know. That's not to be a downer on it. It's been great to be here.

Fire. It's wonderful. Like wonderful musicians, people here in the room tonight. It's a pleasure

to be mentioned alongside of course and all that, but yeah for us I think any victory

comes closer to the conception of the song or the record in the first place, you know.

You smashed it live tonight at the Brits. You've got a big summer of gigs ahead. Finsbury

Park, headlining Reading and Leeds, as well. Are you looking forward to those shows and

doing what you do best?

Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, I mean it's uh...

Can't wait for the summer, Huw. It's going to be a... It's going to be a...

It's going to be a great summer. Yeah.

And for any young bands going I'd like to an Arctic Monkeys. I want to win Brits. I

want to play and headline shows and do the best job ever. What would be your advice to

a young band who are watching you right now?

Well, you just... like... pick up the guitar. Quote unquote. Like whether it's actually

a guitar or not, I don't know. You just make a start, don't you? I think. And then... You

know, I think some people dream of that like their whole life or whatever, but it's not

like that for everybody. I don't know... What am I trying to say? It's like... Making a

start, you know, to create or put yourself out there, especially when you're like a teenager

or whatever, it's quite a difficult idea to get your head around, you know, at that time

in your life. It's not that out of reach, if you know what I'm saying.

Yeah, keep music live, man.

Arctic Monkeys. Congratulations, and enjoy the rest of your night.

-Is that all, Huw? -Yes it is.

Alright, thank you. Thank you everybody.

Arctic Monkeys.
