Test Icicles joke about hating Arctic Monkeys and their fans

Test Icicles joked about hating Arctic Monkeys and their fans at a Manchester show, after being booed when they supported the band in Liverpool.

And talking of pop-feuds, there's a comedy one brewing between Test Icicles and Arctic Monkeys. Or, slightly more accurately, between Test Icicles and fans of Arctic Monkeys. As you'll know, because you read it in the CMU Daily, Test Icicles got booed when they supported Arctic Monkeys in Liverpool on 21 Oct, and when the appeared in Manchester last week, they joked how much they hate the band and their fans.

Devonte Hynez asked the crowd, "Do you like the Arctic Monkeys?" jokingly adding "Yeah, we fucking hate the Arctic Monkeys!" as the crowd booed in response. Bandmate Sam Merrann apparently disagreed with this sentiment, and Devonte added "Yeah, but we hate the fucking fans." The crowd responded by cheering and laughing. See, it's not a real feud. They're only joking.
