Arctic Monkeys are our next act to undergo a grilling from Q readers.
It's been a busy time for the band lately; off recording the follow-up to 2007's Favourite Worst Nightmare in the desert with Josh Homme (QOTSA) as well as in Brooklyn with James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco).
Here's a selection of your questions so far, submit yours to us in the comments below or tweet them to us @QMagazine, (hash tag #QCash for those who know what that means) and check the next issue of Q Magazine to see if they answered it.
Suggested questions so far:
milton7@QMagazine 'In what way do you write your songs, does one of you take an idea in or do you just jam something and make something out of it?'
conormcneish@QMagazine What was it like recording the Desert Sessions with Josh Homme?
SBofOlympia@QMagazine Is this a completely new direction musically for the 3rd album or can you still hear traces of the last two albums?
mattmear@QMagazine Arctic Monkeys: Would you prefer an arctic roll OR a copy of The Black Eyed Peas' Monkey Business?
eliza_ascencio @QMagazine What came first for the third album: music or
lyrics and how was the process?
Jenniferwylie @QMagazine can alex and jamie cut their hair please?
Jenniferwylie @QMagazine Is it true that the band are fans of McFly?

I'm in a band myself, and to be honest we're slightly better than you. How come we're still playing gigs at small local venues and burning our own demos while you tour the world?
