    This Alex was absolutely wonderful. And full offense, so is the “current” Alex. People change, it’s natural. I don’t think it’s arrogance, but perhaps confidence. Alex knows what he is doing, he’s not this same kid who has been introduced to the cusps of “fame.”

Obviously with more success, he's gonna mature and be more proud of their work. He doesn't HAVE to stay a shy little humble guy, he's allowed to be proud of all their success.

      I think he is a bit arrogant. Im not saying we should all hate him for that. I think being arrogant is not a good thing but if he is, theres nothing we can do about it, you know. He's speech at the brits was horrible to be really honest but we dont even know the guy, maybe it was a joke. So no one actually knows if he's arrogant or not. He seems to be but again, if he is, there isnt much we can do.

    Back then, Arctic Monkeys had a similar level of success as Oasis with their first two albums. But unlike Oasis, they were not "instant" rock stars. They came across as raw and naive and unprepared for rock star life. Alex didn't have that much star quality or charisma or sexiness... but look at him now!

    I think Alex has changed a lot, he’s more confident and he’s a bit more cool and sure of himself, but I think he kept most of him humbleness and his character. Hard to not lose yourself in the haze of stardom. I’m very happy for him. He doesn’t let the media tear him down either

    just waiting to see him like this again. maybe at one point we reach to the end of those changes and the cycle starts from beginning.

      He's still genuine. He's just not a child anymore. Everyone matures. He's still the same
