can anyone tell me why humbug era Al is so fucking beautiful???!! I mean that lovely hair, that glowing skin, those dreamy eyes. Maybe because he was in love, that's why. idk!
Alexa Levi It was as a matter of fact cause he was in love , also the fact that these songs he wrote put him in a happier place in his imagination , after the break up with his girlfriend his peaceful and joyful self was shattered and broken . Then he evolved into this greaser tough guy with a jerk attitude , but underneath those shades and leather jackets there is a sensitive and hurt Alex .
a crooner is a singer with a style that's kind of relaxed, intimate, along the lines of frank sinatra, paul anka, harry connick jr., bing crosby, sammy davis jr..... etc
The new key works better than the old one, IMO. Alex's voice being deeper than previously just adds to the feel/mood of the song. Love the massive swirling reverb on the keys, and Helders' quite frankly fucking phenomenal drumming. Immense.
@AwesomeMawson1 "We`re going to leave you with a song from My Favourite Worst Nightmare." Then he says to his keyboard player, "this is C, meistro" because they used to play the song in a different key. He was just reminding him.
ashamed to say im a new fan of theirs because i live in the us but oh my god this performance got me crying. something about it - maybe how sad alex looks, the way that you can hear the emotion in that riff so clearly, the way the entire performance is so raw, the way alex is singing so softly at the beginning or the fact that the tone is deeper. it just got to me.
Man when you check out tlsp and Arctic Monkeys, Alex is a genius talented artist + an amazing young lad. He's actually a legend in the music industry and all the other musicians are excellent as well
Hi yes I’m 13 years late but I was 4 or 5 when this video came out but the way the instruments just beautifully pile on each other is so consuming. It’s overwhelming and you don’t know where to listen but in a beautiful way for lack of better words.
He just said "long live humbug era", not that 505 is from FWN. Nobody said that. And yes, even if 505 belongs to FWN, when they played it on the Humbug Era, it was very different, just like it is different when they play now.
I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side With your hands between your thighs Stop and wait a sec When you look at me like that, my darlin', what did you expect? I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck Or I did last time I checked Not shy of a spark The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side With your hands between your thighs But I crumble completely when you cry It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise Take my hands off of your eyes too soon I'm going back to 505 If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side With your hands between your thighs and a smile
@themistermand I think it sounds much better. It has a darker vibe and when this closes the show you get goosebumps. The original key was okay but this just sounds much better.
i'm going back to 505 if its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive in my imagination you're waiting lying on your side with your hands between your thighs and a smile...
Sure, Alex at the beggining of the band looked very cute and nice and suitable for all the fanfiction stuff, but doesn't anyone see this huuuuge gap in quality of his singing? I mean, studio versions are all perfect, but his early live performings were not that good, he was not hitting the right notes and overall his voice sounded kinda strungled, even in this video. Just check 505 live from some 2018 concert, it's sooo much better.
it might be because during this era of the band, for some reason, they switched the key of 505 to C minor instead of D minor (a whole tone lower). idk why they did that, alex looks like he's struggling a lot
I mean...he was barely 20 when FWN came out so he was a pretty good singer for his age... But the whole band were always incredibly tight and well rehearsed,even in the early years, and his occasional voice cracks or incorrect notes (which i honestly rarely ever heard) never bothered me. infact those little mistakes and imperfections made it all that much more soulful... more human
I love his emotional, raw singing at all times, all stages. Personally, I like the live performances of FWN songs of 2007/2008, given that they were performing them still being on the album ''mood'' or ''atmosphere''. 2018 Alex is great at all times, but I much rather hearing him on TBHC than earlier albums, especially due to the extravagant, exaggerate, imponent, huge Bowie accent that doesn't go that well with 505 or My Propeller.
@@Alicoolzafar it's traditional for me to be attracted to good guitar riffs, bass line, drum composition and great range of vocal from which ever bands i listen to for the first time. After that i realise they're good looking too. Seems like a blind audition to find my favourite band according to what they play.
it's indeed a whole key stepped down... i wonder if it's all these years' singing and touring reli hurt his voice... in many occasions alex couldn't reach the keys like he could in the records

Great track
Still Im in love for this man! Q
This, here is where he showed where his voice could go. Sounds pretty similar to the way he sings nowadays, specially this song.
Those wavy, fluffy long hair looked pretty. He can pull off any hairstyle.

Just as good today as it was then.so am I alex❤❤❤❤
'i crumble completely when you cry'
seems like once again, you had to greet me with goodbyes..
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise, take my hands off of your eyes too soon
I'm going back 505...
Stuff like this makes life worth living, so beautiful
The humbug hair and humbug voice was the very best,
he looks so wasted in that period
Dude not energetic at all
He was softer, but now he's a douchbag.
How can you tell
Oliver William Quinn
Does it matter? The music and the lyrics are still gorgeous!
This is the best rendition of this song
aight, that's my favourite 505 performance now
Do you think Alex, Jamie and Nick all made a pact to grow their hair the exact same length in 2009?
Surely Matt didn't firm the verbal contract.
Top demais
That’s a great observation. If you’re a chick
I love how they play it in Cm in stead of Dm. It gives it a darker feel too it.
and still good on 2022
his hair was completely perfect during this era, i can't believe
alex is mesmerizing, not only as a singer but also as a lyricist
yup, its a shame miles wasnt here too tho
los arctics van por buen camino, siguen inventando su propio estilo sin hacer siempre lo mismo que es lo que les pasa a muchos grupos
Es mi opinion
El resto es historia ❤️
Jajaja pensar que de 2011 a 2014 cambiaron fuertemente sus sonidos y de 2018 a 2022 volvieron hacer lo mismo... Este comentario fue antes de AM

Jamie plays real good this live version of the pretty fucking good song ...
Alex was still wearing his visitor's badge omg
After 12 years...
It's still shakes my heart
every time when I hear "...but I crumble completely when you cry... " ...
I start to cry ...
they're all so... in the zone
The new key works better than the old one, IMO. Alex's voice being deeper than previously just adds to the feel/mood of the song.

wow, there is so old comments. we need to remember roots and rewatch this more, u know
I agree
I agree x2
I agree x3
I just ate a biscuit
agreed
Humbug 505 is the best 505.
2:35 sounds so fucking sick
"This is a C Maestro"
This is a different key than the original version, which is in D
Curtis Worden D Dorian no less
@@aclyte2679 Didn't know that
@@aclyte2679 what? You are saying 505 is on a Dorian Scale? No way
he's so gorgeus
@AwesomeMawson1 "We`re going to leave you with a song from My Favourite Worst Nightmare." Then he says to his keyboard player, "this is C, meistro" because they used to play the song in a different key. He was just reminding him.
The most tearful riff ever.
they used to play the song in Dm Em. now they play Cm Dm. most people say because of the change in voice
is Alex got awkward when he sing without his guitar...?
I was wondering the same thing. lol
Yes
I’ve been listening to this band for about 11 years now. My wife is just now becoming their biggest fan ❤️
why does this still amaze me
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE 505
Alex: talks
Panties: drop
Matt Helders drumming like a boss!
MASTER

You captured the spirit of the song
why you're ashamed?
@@indierockgrrrl6593 cause alotta people shame others for stupid things
@@indierockgrrrl6593probs for just discovering them bc unfortunately now thanks to tiktok ppl think we know of these icons bc of that app
here in the states, this band should be known already....sigh
ur wish was granted 6 years ago lol
I think the title 505 has to be a nod to the beatles' one after 909.
Man when you check out tlsp and Arctic Monkeys, Alex is a genius talented artist + an amazing young lad. He's actually a legend in the music industry and all the other musicians are excellent as well
ahh nice one. thanks
beautiful
i didnt think this song could get more sensual and also more melancholy
but it happens
Best version I’ve seen of this my favorite of their songs.
and .. smile....
fetus alex is so adorable
Still listening on 2021 xD
I just found it out today, but this version is a masterpiece! 🖤
Hi yes I’m 13 years late but I was 4 or 5 when this video came out but the way the instruments just beautifully pile on each other is so consuming. It’s overwhelming and you don’t know where to listen but in a beautiful way for lack of better words.
my favorite version of this song.
Alex is so mesmerising
11 años..
thumbs up if you listen to this song everyday at 5:05
this is the very best era ever existed
humbug alex is a blessing in every aspect
This is beyond great...
Goosebumps sums this up
Alex: where should I put my hand?! where's my guitar?!
... he's so cute
does anyone else get really emotional listening to arctic monkeys ?
He just said "long live humbug era", not that 505 is from FWN. Nobody said that. And yes, even if 505 belongs to FWN, when they played it on the Humbug Era, it was very different, just like it is different when they play now.
I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs
Stop and wait a sec
When you look at me like that, my darlin', what did you expect?
I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked
Not shy of a spark
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark
The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start
I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs
But I crumble completely when you cry
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon
I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
i effing love you guys!
Best performance of this song
Yeap. The bass, the Humbug voice, the C key, and Jamie actually playing the lead bits. Brilliant.
Trnsmt 2018
best.
omg this version its even better than jools holland
just perfect
i really love this song.
Untouchable piece of art.
The only thing missing is Miles Kane.
@redheddd Why not? he plays a fucking Hammond Organ!
Love the fact I found this song today. What the fuck! It’s class !
505 mi favorita...
This is actually gold. 😭❤
that SUPER AWKWARD MOMENT when you realise there are people on the background at 0:35
I crumble completely when I hear that part !
this music is so humbug, yet it´s in the previous album!
When Alex tries to reach the microphone... melting
235 is just the turn to the breakdown of the song
It is such a strong song. It always gives me chills.
the humbug hair
@themistermand I think it sounds much better. It has a darker vibe and when this closes the show you get goosebumps. The original key was okay but this just sounds much better.
he's wearing the visitor's badge the whole and not giving a single damn about it
i believe they are zildijian custom A
i'm going back to 505
if its a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive
in my imagination you're waiting lying on your side
with your hands between your thighs and a smile...
omg!!! Amazing and fantastic!!!

Yeah, he's really evolved as vocalist over the years, it's a shame not many people notice that :(
@@dream_dealer Not that I don't understand nor hate the new him, but young Alex just has that pure raw sound that I very much like
it might be because during this era of the band, for some reason, they switched the key of 505 to C minor instead of D minor (a whole tone lower). idk why they did that, alex looks like he's struggling a lot
I mean...he was barely 20 when FWN came out so he was a pretty good singer for his age...

He's just a great artist. Admire him for his music, not his looks.
He deserves to be admired in both matters.
exactly. why not both?
I admire him and his look and his soul❤
Yes shallow fangirls probably won't even listen to Arctic monkeys if Alex wasn't good looking.
@@Alicoolzafar it's traditional for me to be attracted to good guitar riffs, bass line, drum composition and great range of vocal from which ever bands i listen to for the first time.

humbug alex was the best alex
I like the pitch of this version of 505...it fits his voice :) And it sounds more dark..which I love ;)
Amazing performance of one the the lad's best tunes.
