NME Awards 2014

I'm very curious to know who will be the worst band and the villain!

I've always wanted to see an act accept the award for worst band

 

Pretty much the whole things predictable, plenty of AM arse-kissing in there.

[kueller]

I think his point were that Biffy are a better live act than AM.

 

I saw both last year and had great fun at both, even if the sound at AM's gig was dreadful.

 

EDIT: I knew AM would win. Feels slightly weird I voted for different bands in the three AM won, and voted for AM in Best Video and Best Track. Which shows I am shit at predicting these things.

 

It was more like, if NME would suck up enough to give them the biggest award anything else shouldn't be a surprise.

Lily Allen : " I don't think they are listening"

No, they are too drunk for that!

Worst Band: The 1975

 

Interesting choice, that one.

[Mattestro]

Well that was embarrassing....

One of the only deserving awards was The 1975 winning worst band

[FabriPav]

Worst Band: The 1975

 

Interesting choice, that one.

 

I wanted Muse to win that, but can't complain.

I think Muse winning would only be funny if they won Best and Worst Bands.

 

The 1975 could be a good band but their lead singer is pants. Makes a change from One Direction winning every year I suppose.

[Butterflyfan]

When did they give the worst band award ?

[forevermusic]

They don't do it in person on the night. It usually comes out in the full winners list. Same with Fan Community, book, blog, hero/villain, sexiest, etc.

[Butterflyfan]

OK!

 

Oh! Best fan community ... Arctic Monkeys!

[WutDaFucksy]

The 1975 are the sort of band NME readers would like if they weren't famous I personally don't mind them, Sex is easily their best song but that's the only one I listen to

I think the Hoosiers accepted it in 2008 (underrated band imho)

[Jobby]

Worst Band: The 1975

 

Interesting choice, that one.

 

Wow, I figured they'd be a band NME would arse-lick tbh. Glad they won it though, can't stand them.

 

As much as I expected plenty of AM rimming (as I'm sure pretty much everyone did), I agree with Fabri that giving them best live band is a bit silly. Compared to bands like Biffy (whose albums I don't really like but are undeniably fantastic live) or even Muse, AM look dull live.

I thought they would as well. The only review I could find went like this:

Where have Fall Out Boy been during their three-year hiatus? Because it sounds like they’ve been passing tips to Manchester four-piece The 1975. Despite its gangster storyline this is like the Illinois emos on a Thomas Cook package holiday, all glossy production and cheery tropical guitar licks. Avoid.

 

Well, whatever that means. I think "Avoid" is probably enough.

[Bumpypotato]

Best live band and Album of the year.

 

[Alec Ferris]

Tediously inevitable.

[shar]

Isn't nme the greatest.. although I did see that Dom was up for the sexiest man in music Matt is currently 5th and Chris is 6th. Even if Muse doesn't please nme, you can't deny that we do have the hottest band members.

You can deny that very easily.

[FabriPav]

Nme has nothing to do with sexiest male votes though, it's just the fangirls voting.

Nah.
