School shooting: Kooks man lays into old music teacher
- Artists:
- Arctic Monkeys »
- The Kooks »
The Kooks are prepared to kick people in the face. That was the message coming from the band’s camp at the end of last week, as frontman Luke Pritchard - pictured, in front of someone else's graffiti - regaled the Daily Mirror with the story of how once he booted Arctic Monkey Alex Turner right in the kisser. Boom! Well, now it's a new week and the band have returned with ‘arden up PR tale #2, entitled ‘the one where Luke sticks it to the teachers who said he’d never make it’. Yeah, that’ll show those book-reading bastards.
“At school my music teacher told me over and over again that I was wasting my time and should try a different profession,” Pritchard told the Daily Star.
“I think I’ll send him a platinum Kooks album one day.”
Do we get one, too? Strange as it may seem, DrownedinSound can’t imagine what Luke Pritchard would be doing now if he wasn’t in a band. Media?

The Kooks
he still is wasting his time
sure hes got money and fame and stuff, but hes a twat in a shit band.
also i love how these kind of stories are reported purely to invoke the rage
of the board members
that music teacher
is like nostradamus or something
?
A music teacher at a stage school telling you to choose a different profession?
Mummy wouldn't be happy with that poor positive attitude considering all the money her and daddy were paying!
didn't he
go to one of those brit music schools, like Amy Winebar, Adele and all the others...?
yeah..
I think that's where he met Katie Manure.
All my teachers told me I was wasting my time
YEAH... FUCK YOU TEACHERS
Luke Pritchard = wank
Luke Pritchard's ex music teacher = good guy!
seeing as kid always do the opposit
of what teachers are telling them, guy should have told him he should persevere and had a future in music. And we would never have had the Kooks...
His teacher had an excelent point
he may make money from what he does but it is still a huge waste of time.
He may be angry at his teachers, but if I were him...
I'd be angrier at my parents for being terribly ugly and my dentist for not advising him better about his oral hygiene... the skanky-toothed chump.
to be fair to the teacher
he's dead right. this personality vacuum of a human is like the annoying person in the office who keeps getting promoted despite their blundering incompetence, when their errors are generally offloaded onto other, harder workers. can you spell 'undeserving'?
like he's
gonna be the next Bowie or Lou Reed
The Kooks are a completely fabricated indie-boy-band that'll disappear in a few months time. Period.
haha true
childish in a bitter kind of way really.
Didn't he go to stage school or summat?
(lolz-centric)
erm
I dont like the kooks, nor the singer.
But I wouldnt say he's wasting his time, I'd guess he's having a pretty good time of it, with money, playing gigs and travelling around (even if his music is shit, but they get big crowds)
I'd do it. Rather that then spend my time bitching about someone on the internet
...
He's wasting his time. Unless his ambition is for people to talk about his band like people today talk about Wet Wet Wet.
Then he's sorted.
