Lostprophets have spoken out against the suggestion that Arctic Monkeys have 'broken' America. Lostprophet themselves arguably have 'broken' America, so perhaps their opinion matters, I don't know.
Frontman Ian Watkins said: "In the UK, the Arctic Monkeys connected with people singing about very introspective things that had to do with this country. Then they go to America and do Snl and everybody there was like, 'Woo, Arctic Monkeys, best band in the world.' And there's some guy in the Midwest going, 'Huh?'. That guy doesn't give a fuck about social commentary on the streets of Sheffield. They didn't break America, they bounced off".
