So many bedroom guitar warriors on here saying how easy AM songs are to play. No one is suggesting they are difficult. What makes Alex so talented is the fact at 3:58 he can play the verse riff for Crying Lightning whilst singing it perfectly like the studio version. Anyone can play chords and sing at the same time but singing a melody and picking individual notes on a different melody simultaneously takes a lot of practice. Alex does it here perfectly, whilst keeping the time, and live in front of a huge crowd. Few people will understand how complex that is.
@@felipetorres2715 No one is saying composing the songis less difficult, but that doesn’t mean singing and playing melody on a guitar is not difficult because it surely is
@@beuhgo1809 if u play guitar for a long time you will see that is only a matter of practice and effort. Even a untalented mongoloid like me can play the riff and sing the lyrics of arctic monkeys tunes. Compose good rock songs its not a matter of practice, u need to have be a real special fella.
How the fuck can they not screw up a single note in such complex and difficult songs??The bass , perfect , the drums , spot on , the guitars absolutely amazing...Are they even human?
Not my fav album of theres but its some of the best drumming that has ever been made,not quite John Bonham level but Brianstorm is a perfect example,was like indie went metal,very unique
nah haha his voice started to transition in 2009 with the album humbug, his voice became deeper and deeper since then, but the difference between their second album and humbug is pretty noticeable !
Arctic Monkeys is one of those bands that came just a bit too late in to my life. Like I enjoy it now but man If I'd have started listening at 15 when AM came out it would have blown my fucking mind...
In my case AM have been growing up along side me, I discovered them back in 2007 when I was 11 years old and since then they're one of my favourite bands of all time. They're just mindblowing for me

Yes, to me. I can't really speak for anyone else, can I? It doesn't have much passion in it, I don't find it particularly interesting in any way. Big fan of the Monkeys, but their solos were never a strong point.
Apollo Alexandre it’s not about if it’s basic or not, or if it’s strong or weak. it’s about how it makes you feel. it’s just a cool little solo, it doesn’t have to be complex for it to be great. it’s about how it fits with this amazing song, that’s how most of their solos are. it just needs to hit you in all the right spots :-)
dayshawna I understand music and solos, ok? I don't judge them on their complexity or speed, or any other dumb shit. Attitude and feel matter most. And this lacked either for me. I'm a big fan of the band, but their solos were never a selling point. This was just bleh.

Also just cause Alex acts a certain way on stage doesn't mean he is COMPLETELY different. It would be weird if a grown ass man was acting like a teen. So come on let's get over it and not become a toxic fandom hahaha
Exactly true! I recently went to see the kooks, who are genuinely trying to preserve the etiquette of their first album which is just depressing seeing them now. I would much rather a band who evolves and becomes something bigger, which is the arctic monkeys!!!
One of my first festivals was this one at 13 and this performance as well as many that year such as Motorhead, Queens of the stone age, crystal castle, arcade fire, metronomy have not only hooked me to Arctic Monkeys in a severe way but also to Festivals, which since then is my biggest passion
Oh my God, finally someone confirms it. My friend and I have been having a debate over whether his leather was blue or black. I said blue and he said black it's just the lighting making me think it's blue
Wow, just wow! The transition (so amazing!), Alex singing "Save it for the morning after" (omg!) and that bass line in Crying Lightning (cooler than cool!)
There was a transition between "Perhaps Vampire are a Bit Strong But" and "Balaclava" (I think ?) in an early show. It's been some years since I haven't listened to it, but I remember it as magnificient.
this look is such a transition point towards am alex its funny. the ungelled hair and the baby face mixed with the leather jacket and chunky ring on the pinky finger haha
He plays some the songs of the solos for the songs during the humbug and Suck it and See periods. (Cornerstone, This House is a Circus, Potion aproaching, Library Pictures, 505, and Shimmer Trap just to name a few)
I didn’t like it at first but as I kept listening to it and understood the lyrics better, I eventually loved them as much as I love their heavier albums. Give it another chance!
Still amazed by the fact of how alex can sing and play.. he is a little demon.. his flow is not always on tempo or in in the time kinda float around the melody and still play the riff without missing a note.. what a hero.
+TylerDurden43 He actually revealed recently that how he acts these days on stage is just an act. He wanted to add more of a show to the live perfromances
WantedDeadly ...I know that it´s just a image...but I think to choose that image was a bad idea...and I´m sure most of AM Fans don´t want this kind of show...the want authentic Rock´n Roll...but thats only my opinion...
2011. The golden year of him. Perfect form of voice, perfect form of the way he dressed up, perfect form of stage performance. Unfortunately, thats all only the "transition" which only happened in a short periode.
I discovered them way later than everyone else, although people kept puting me onto them. Even though the first song i heard was do i wanna know, i think i prefer there older sound overall tbh. But all there material is great, and he has such a good deliverence and the drummer rocks!
I really like threre sounds like the music. I have a t shirt that says there band name and some one saw it and told me she loved them and also jack white it made my day
this transition is the reason why I get up every morning
Here during quarantine 🥳

Simply perfect
Couldn’t agree more

Look I’ll be honest, singing it as well isn’t that difficult, but what makes it all special is that very thing. It’s so good while sounding difficult
and the whole band taught themselves how to play their instruments
that bass in crying lightning is fucking dirty, oooooshh
It is innit?
@@jamieleejones795 yes it is, watch the whole video
Oh that's the exact perfect word, oooooshh. Thanks.

Imaginary Fox it's not that hard
I don’t want to be a dick but Alex messes up a note in the solo 1:49 🤣
Imaginary Fox Search "Master of Puppets Live" and you find out what's really inhumane
Edit: Actually, "Battery Live Seattle 1989"
Not my fav album of theres but its some of the best drumming that has ever been made,not quite John Bonham level but Brianstorm is a perfect example,was like indie went metal,very unique
His voice was starting to transition here, he still sounded fairly young and british.
nah haha his voice started to transition in 2009 with the album humbug, his voice became deeper and deeper since then, but the difference between their second album and humbug is pretty noticeable !
ALEXZERO this is humbug tho
stupidedgykid No, this is Such is and see, cause it’s 2011.
Teddy picker isnt
ALEXZERO nah Humbug he was really young and british still, in Suck it and See era you can tell he became very adult American-ized voicing
Crying lighting always gives me such a creepy feeling... i love it lol
That’s so true, and it’s not even the only song in humbug I feel like pretty visitors has a spooky vibe to it as well
Same the whole album is like that
@@jager9022
I will definitely listen
@@sofiavalentini2495 yes!!!

this is my all time favorite performance of crying lightning

Same
I only started to be crazy about this band THIS YEAR, so...imagine
My biggest flex is AM came out three months before my 15th birthday so I got that full experience
And there's me, my favourite song is TP and i was born a year later the realese
In my case AM have been growing up along side me, I discovered them back in 2007 when I was 11 years old and since then they're one of my favourite bands of all time. They're just mindblowing for me
Gotta love Matt Helders like
North East british dialects often end there sentences with "like". It doesn't refer to anything
@biller bharma like the Greek gods
great band, one of the very best
Might as well take the crown
Still great
Teddy Picker lyrics
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Plenty desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
You to tell the fucking punchline before you have told the joke
Well sorry, sunshine, it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the Top 100 list
And it's the thousandth time that's it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told ya, but you were dying for it
She saw it, and she grabbed it, and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
Do you reckon that they do it for a joke?
Do you reckon that they make 'em take an oath
That says that we are defenders
Of any poseur or professional pretender around
When did your list replace the twist and turn
Like a fist replaced the kiss?
Don't concern us with your bollocks, I don't want your prayer
Save it for the morning after
And it's the thousandth time that's it's even bolder
Don't be surprised when you get bent over
They told ya, but you were dying for it
Let's have a game on the teddy picker
Not quick enough, can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Let's have a game on the teddy picker

Hello there was no recent comments 😭
Crying Lightning
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
Said, "You're mistaken if you're thinking that I haven't been called "cold" before"
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then offered me your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you had left and it was going to waste
Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
"Crying Lightning"
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never looked like yourself from the side
But your profile could not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupied the bench like toothache
Stood and puffed your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I tried so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
"Crying Lightning"
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes you are
Crying lightning
And your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
"Crying Lightning"
Your pastimes, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
"Crying"
5:03-5:15 just WOW. absolute master of their craft
It's a really basic solo. Not much there to admire.

Exactly true! I recently went to see the kooks, who are genuinely trying to preserve the etiquette of their first album which is just depressing seeing them now. I would much rather a band who evolves and becomes something bigger, which is the arctic monkeys!!!
Exactly personally I think his voice sounds the same.
@@RealityxFairytale his voice got deeper actually
@Kirk Wolfe yeah u have a point
I dont mind them evolving, in fact I encourage it, but he doesnt need to lose his accent
I'd cry if I would see that Transition live! Crying Lightning is just perfect. I really want the Chance to see it live!!!

Pls make someone a series about AM on netflix!
Make a sery about Arctic Monkeys’ history
Funky Slash i would watch it more that i watch ru paul’s drag race
Once they did a transition between Knee Socks and My Propeller, it was awesome. It was even better than this in my opinion.
yea, in reading 2014. much better than this.
Link to that? I'd love to hear.
you should see their trans from brian to knee socks

Seen this live in Dublin last night. Was just as good. And they rocked. Body paint my favourite performance from the night!!!

Will always be coming back to this
