The NME Awards are an annual music awards show run by the music magazine NME (New Musical Express). They represent a range of different genres: rock, pop, jazz, metal, hip hop. The main genre this year, however, seemed to be intoxication.
Looking at the NME website it seemed to me that a majority of people at the ceremony were more interested in alcohol than the actual awards themselves.
There are loads of pictures of people covered in booze doing all manner of outrageous stunts. What else would you expect from the cream of the music industry though?
It was one of the biggest nights on the music calendar, and with bands like Oasis and Kings of Leon taking away the Best Band and Best Album awards, as well as a cracking performance from The Cure, the ceremony proved it has bona fide class.
These particular awards represent my genres of music and my kind of people.
I don’t condemn their behaviour. I applaud it and only wish I’d been there.
It always seems to be a mass piss-up at the NME awards, looks like fun!
