Might I add as well Strongbow is an alcoholic Cider, from what I understand in the states "cider" just means cloudy apple juice, "Hard" cider is what they call alcoholic cider
the genius of Arctic Monkeys is not only the lyrics themselves, but the SUBGENRE too; it's pub rock and there's nothing the British working class enjoy more than singing in pubs when pissed off their heads. It hearkens back to sea shanties for when repetitive work is boring and it brings strangers together today. Arctic Monkeys represent that and that's why they're so popular; they're an opportunity to forget about the world of work and just enjoy being alive with everyone else. And I fckin love it; the UK may not be perfect a lot of the time but, under the rule of British bands, it's times like these when you realise this country's home.
Matt helders is probably one of the best drummers of the 21st century... Nothing particularly special about the way he plays, but man he doesn't miss a beat
You know, some drummers aren't very skillful, but somehow they're just look very cool when they play the drum. For example, Ringo Starr. Ringo is not as skillful as the great John Bonham, but somehow Ringo looks so cool when he plays the drum
I think what sets matt helders apart from everyone else is that he's up there with the top drummers of all time but he still has a basic starter kit. He doesn't need anything else because he can do it all on 2 Tom's and a snare.
their TRSMT performance in 2018 i believe is incredible, the way alex grown as a performer, the amazing crowd singing word for word the whole show, everything amazing! great show.
Drummer's name is Matt Helders. Actually met him in the parking lot of a gig in Ft. Lauderdale, FL several years ago. Band had been booked to play a festival in South Florida that got cancelled. They were already in town, so booked a last-minute show at 3,000-capacity club for the same weekend, which was awesome. They play a festival like this in front of 250,000 people but were more than eager to do a club show in front of a small fraction of that. Ran into him coming off their tour bus while I was on line to get in. Cool kid, and I could not understand half of what he said because of how thick his accent was, but he played the hell out of that show.
Matt Helders is the drummer, I'm sure some have already cued you in. Dude is both underrated and easily one of the best rock drummers of his generation. Not enough people give Matt his due, Turner's vocals are incredible and that with the guitars catchy riffs and the nice bass lines usually catch the ears first. But for those of us who appreciate good drumming... we know Matt Helders is far and away one of the best in the business currently.
Their live performance and stage presence was very basic in the early days. Over the years its completely evolved. They went back to Glastonbury in 2013 at it was one of the best glasto performances ever in my opinion. If you're looking for more of their stuff to react to I'd recommend; a certain romance, fluorescent adolescent, pretty visitors, crying lightening or why d'you only call me when you're high? Great video man.
I don't see those in the que, so they would have to be fresh requests. You can suggest songs on here, and if your suggestion happens to already be in the que, I am more than happy to add your name to the requesters of that song. However in order to make fresh brand new requests, you have to be a Bronze Tier member on the Patreon page. It's only $5 per month and you can make fresh requests, along with watch all the videos I've done that RUclips blocked and participate in Patreon community events and enjoy exclusive content for Patreon members only.

It comes to something when a band with lyrics as complicated as these has thousands of people in the crowd able to shout them back, clearly, and in unison.
I don't know for sure, but you don't typically start shows with anthem singalong songs like Sun Goes Down, so no I'm pretty sure that was not the beginning of the show. Matt Helder is widely recognized as one of, if not, the best drummers produced by the UK in this millenium.
Funny enough, it actually is the start of the show. The intro music before they came on stage was from Matador I believe. Right after Brianstorm, they go right into Still Take You Home. This was such an insane set.
You NEED to react to Batphone by the Monkeys live. The one at Manchester Arena on 06/09/2018. It's completely different to anything they've ever done before, but that doesn't mean it's bad (which a few people don't seem to understand). And great video by the way! :D

mAn i kind of wish you did lyrics reactions. They have have great lyrics and the music fits the different themes of the lyrics so well. especially there first album. 8,4 great score. I touht you would score them lower. I always wish the vocals would sound better live with artic monkeys. But there energy live is great.

my cousins band from sheffield is very much influenced from arctic monkeys .. please everyone go check them for a revival PLEASE. just go listen.... high hazels is the band name
Those "beverages" weren't energy drinks, they were cans of Strongbow, a cider. The drummer was drinking and having a blast.
Might I add as well Strongbow is an alcoholic Cider, from what I understand in the states "cider" just means cloudy apple juice, "Hard" cider is what they call alcoholic cider
The genius of Arctic Monkeys is in the lyrics. The music is fantastic too but the lyrics, especially that first album, are phenomenal.
He's american he does't understand a word of the lyrics pal

The combination and space they give themselves is pure fkn fire!❤

Helders is great but Morgan Simpson from Black Midi is in a different league

@@jimmybd2309 that kits definitely worth like a couple grand at least let alone the cymbals too, not a starter kit bro haha
Might want to look up Mario Duplantier

Top 5 gigs I’d ever been to that one at trnsmt

The Drummer, Matt Helders - The Agile Beast.
View From The Afternoon really showcases his skills.
Great job.!
That song really shows what Matt Helders is about
My favourite .
6:30 have you seen Blind Guardian do Bard's Tale at Wacken? the crowd participation is insane

The hang ups on the strings with the pick are deliberate...he does it on the album too to add a wee twang at the end of every few chords.
Great review of a band I've always liked but didn't know that much about! Thank you.
Great analysis, great lyrics, great music - great band.
At this time they were just 20, amazing band..... their first album is the biggest sale for a first album in UK since.... The Beatles....
*Oasis
But yeah
I think Alex was 19 here
Fastest selling debut album since chart records began apparently..
Man we're british, it's not energy drinks x'D its beer!
I love this reaction. Will checkout more from you.

THATS MY GUY MATT HELDERS🗣🗣🗣
Remember buying their debut and follow up album around 07.
Then Humbug came out few years later. That's still my favorite album from them today.
The thing to realise is that those bass-sounding riffs that got hung up were actually Alex's parts. He sings WHILE playing that.
Nick O'Malley is a great bass player, the problem on that solo part is that he transitions to a upper string when the pick is going up
I've been a fan of the AMs since the first single. Such a cool, talented group. The drummer is just fire.
You need to react to If You Were There, Beware, the drums are great, the bass, the melody, and you can feel the story in the construction of the song

one of my fav songs to ever listen to drum wise
Brianstorm is the first track on their second album. So that harsh drum attack starts the whole album, not just that song.
I don't know for sure, but you don't typically start shows with anthem singalong songs like Sun Goes Down, so no I'm pretty sure that was not the beginning of the show. Matt Helder is widely recognized as one of, if not, the best drummers produced by the UK in this millenium.

That song that was playing on the begining was their too.
Damn when you uploaded this it had 8.7 million views and now over 11 mil?
And that’s why Matt is one of the best drummers of all time
CM17 is a Harlow UK postcode. Hi from RM17! ;)
The backing vocals seemed to be mixed pretty quiet for this performance.
I doubt they use a countdown or a click tbh, think he just starts
You NEED to react to Batphone by the Monkeys live. The one at Manchester Arena on 06/09/2018. It's completely different to anything they've ever done before, but that doesn't mean it's bad (which a few people don't seem to understand).
And great video by the way! :D

naaa those cans were definitely cans of strongbow cider lol
Sure the intro was iorn man by black sabbath
Alex is one of the better song writers, I think, of this generation and their drummer is and has been one of the best in the biz, in my opinion.
Its great you like matt helders
If you think Matt Helders is impressive here, watch a live performance of “Pretty Visitors”. All I’ll say is… he’s very out of breath by the end!
Matthew J. Helders the Third, the impressive drummer
What does “merclelous” mean?
Great
MORE red hot chili peppers, i recommend warped or transcending !!!!!!!. pd: sorry for my ingles i am from venezuela
Both are already in the que, added your name to the requesters.
Arctic monkeys are bigger than yeezus and as tall as the beatles at this point
if you haven't id react to muse
Matt Helders is the drummer
damn… way to start a show, this was their peak imo must recent stuff is kinda weak
Dont forget this epic - Three Days by Jane's Addiction ruclips.net/video/SmvG2GZ3S7o/видео.html
