Alex is so underrated in his ability to play intricate lead guitar parts and sing perfectly at the same time, he makes it look a lot easier than it is.
Ryan Smith he doesn’t do lead live if he needs to sing as well, especially in his humbug songs he usually pulls out his acoustic and lets Jamie play lead
Actually the guitar parts of the monkeys is pretty easy, In almost all of their songs they use chords wich is favorable to play and sing but, yeah, alex still fucking rock
@@gabrielbacil188 you are talking about chords, he is talking about melody. Singing one melody and playing another is very hard. Give it a try, its almost impossible at the beginning but it takes a lots and i mean, a lots of practice. Even with practice some musicians still struggle with that. Many musicians like Turner, Sting, Frusciante or Hendrix make it look easy beacuse they are so damn good at it.
@@fourmargaritas1063 I agree. This is a song you have to listen to several times to understand, and although the lyrics are one of their best work the melody is simpler and it wouldn't necessarily engage the crowd in a concert. Similarly to the masterpiece that is TBHC, this gem is not the most suitable to perform live.
There are so many songs they need to perform again, this is absolutely one of them (with dance little liar and when the sun goes down) and I hope they will next year
its so satisfying to hear "without the last cornr piece [...]" at the end because in the studio version it is not complete. Man, this was a good ass performance
True fans of AM and music, love this album. People don't like it because it's too triply or not poppy but it's my favourite in terms of musicality and diversity within the boys.
Fiendish wonder in the carnival's wake Dull caresses once again irritate Tread softly, stranger Move over toward the danger that you seek You think excitement has receded then the mirror distracts The logic of the trance quickly reaches and grasps Handsome and faceless And weightless, your imagination runs And now it's no one's fault but yours At the foot of the house of cards You thought you'd never get obsessed You thought the wolves would be impressed And you're a sinking stone But you know what it's like to hold the jeweler's hands That procession of pioneers all drowned In the moonlight they're more thrilling Those things that he knows As he leads you through the grinning Bubble blowers in the snow Watching his exit Was like falling off the ferry in the night The inevitables gather to push you around Any other voice makes such a punishing sound He became laughter's assassin Shortly after he showed you what it was And now it's no one's fault but yours At the foot of the house of cards You thought you'd never get obsessed You thought the wolves would be impressed And you're a sinking stone But you know what it's like to hold the jeweler's hands That procession of pioneers all drowned If you've a lesson to teach me I'm listening, ready to learn There's no one here to police me I'm sinking in until you return If you've a lesson to teach Please don't deviate, don't be afraid Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate Let's get it ingrained If you've a lesson to teach me I'm listening, ready to learn There's no one here to police me I'm sinking in until you return If you've a lesson to teach Please don't deviate, don't be afraid Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate Let's get it ingrained If you've a lesson to teach me I'm listening, ready to learn There's no one here to police me I'm sinking in until you return If you've a lesson to teach Please don't deviate, don't be afraid
Radiohead vibes with this. 2 of my 3 favourite bands. One of their best songs and probably their most underrated. Edit: after seeing the spotify breakdown of their most to least streamed tracks i can confirm this is their most underrated song. Its their least streamed song that isnt on the car
Dios mío ese Outro hace que mi piel se estremezca entre un sinfin de emociones definitivamente es una pieza tan genial como infravalorada. Siento que este (Humbug) es por mucho su trabajo discográfico más elevado de toda su carrera a la fecha.

Alex is so underrated in his ability to play intricate lead guitar parts and sing perfectly at the same time, he makes it look a lot easier than it is.
spicymemestealer he doesn’t do back up singing that’s The other guitarist John Ashton I believe
Yeah, people focus on his ability of lyrics writing, but they don't notice the good musician he is.
Ryan Smith he doesn’t do lead live if he needs to sing as well, especially in his humbug songs he usually pulls out his acoustic and lets Jamie play lead
Actually the guitar parts of the monkeys is pretty easy,

i dont understand how he can play shit like that while he sings perfectly on key.
that slide part and anything after that is unbelievable
John Eron help from nick
That's just practice
'he became laughter assasin shortly after he showed you what it was' what a genius line
so jealous of everyone who got to hear this masterpiece live
same hahahahahaha
after hearing that outro i ascended to the stratosphere
Humbug rocks
+Patrycja Markowska fav album
Their best album...
I really really wish Alex would sing this great song somewhere again with all my heart
same, definitely
They've been played do me a favour recently, it's actually possible
same
AT LEAST HE SANG POTION APPROACHING
He threw the slide like a pro!! 4:52
José Mendoza HAHAHA truuu
Amazing
Alex was a badass even before his late SIAS look :D
that shit was cool
This song is so underrated. Why don't they play it live at all?
I know its 2 years old comment but my guess is that this is a very personally emotional and thus hard song to just include
@@fourmargaritas1063 I agree.

@@stellat9083 it is kinda slower but the outro gets me so pumped
It is too dark to fit in most sets is my guess. One of my fav Monkeys songs though
Por mensos
PLSSSS their most underrated song
and the best one
Matts drumming in this is amazing
He makes it look so effortless, guy is amazing
THAT SLIDE WAS UNBELIEVABLE! ALEX IS A SHOWMAN. VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT WHILE SINGING DAMN
Anybody else hoping they start rockin’ this out again on the Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino tour?
Totally!! They should try to play Dont forget whose legs you're on, too
Wish they did when I saw them last week 🙁
There are so many songs they need to perform again, this is absolutely one of them (with dance little liar and when the sun goes down) and I hope they will next year
Always
here :(
Humbung has Tranquillity Base Hotel + Casino vibes
YES!
Yeah!
Rather tbh+c has Humbug vibes
no, tbh+c has humbug vibes
I guess it's because this song was first alex's work on piano
They should play this again, it goes with the new record's vibe
its so satisfying to hear "without the last cornr piece [...]" at the end because in the studio version it is not complete. Man, this was a good ass performance
i just accidentally cried to this
not alone
understandable
I laughed my ass out in the bus after reading this bc it's so relatable lmao
Me everyday 🥲
True fans of AM and music, love this album. People don't like it because it's too triply or not poppy but it's my favourite in terms of musicality and diversity within the boys.
MrEdwardBloom definitely their most evolved album and by far my favourite, very underrated
MrEdwardBloom yes this album and suck it and see are the best and most underrated albums
Humbug and favourite worst nightmare are constantly battling it out for me
its josh homme effect. its almost 14 years ago. but all their albums are great. they are great band without a doubt. fans are just too semantic.
6 year old comment speaking factssss
for me personally their best album
Humbug is my favourite album of theirs period! And I don't think I'll ever get tired of this song
The outro is out of this world
STILL WAITING FOR THIS SONG TO PERFORM AGAIN
fr it's lit my fave from humbug😭
most underrated song ever
I'm back to listen to this masterpiece... I hope one day they play this one again!!
Maybe, their best song
This part is just amazing 3:16
oh how i missed you mr. secret door
Their best song along with "Dance Little Liar".
COME TO BRAZIL
They heeded your prayers and are in fact coming to Brazil.
TÃO VINDO PRO BRASIL
Ihuuuuu , com Interpol de abertura, foda!
Agree
Please I wish they play this on 2018 tour Tranquility Base & Hotel tour.
Been gone from live sets since 28th march 2010. Surprisingly not the longest missing album song (riot van - 24/8/2006!)
great camera work keeping Helders fully in the picture he's a drummer and half that chap..
Sounds exactly like the album version! Awesome
Amazing song, amazing slide technique and amazing performance!
feeling sad cause probably ill never see this song live :)
2021 who still listening and wish they can relive this moment😍😍😍
Esto es una reliquia, no sabía que la habían tocado en vivo alguna vez. Niceeeee !
Roberto Carlos pensé lo mismo pero la verdad es que está canción en vivo es oro puro.
Love this song
I'm so jealous I wish they played this song more😭😭
WTF Matt's hair
It's great
Alex's hair lmao
When you try to grow out your hair but it's a fro
That's not Matt, that's Bob Dylan
He saw too many Bob Ross videos
Matts fro was epic
Does anyone know if Alex wrote the guitar part at 4:17? If he did then he deserves immediate history books.
Yes he did fellow geometry dash player
Fiendish wonder in the carnival's wake
Dull caresses once again irritate
Tread softly, stranger
Move over toward the danger that you seek
You think excitement has receded then the mirror distracts
The logic of the trance quickly reaches and grasps
Handsome and faceless
And weightless, your imagination runs
And now it's no one's fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards
You thought you'd never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed
And you're a sinking stone
But you know what it's like to hold the jeweler's hands
That procession of pioneers all drowned
In the moonlight they're more thrilling
Those things that he knows
As he leads you through the grinning
Bubble blowers in the snow
Watching his exit
Was like falling off the ferry in the night
The inevitables gather to push you around
Any other voice makes such a punishing sound
He became laughter's assassin
Shortly after he showed you what it was
And now it's no one's fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards
You thought you'd never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed
And you're a sinking stone
But you know what it's like to hold the jeweler's hands
That procession of pioneers all drowned
If you've a lesson to teach me
I'm listening, ready to learn
There's no one here to police me
I'm sinking in until you return
If you've a lesson to teach
Please don't deviate, don't be afraid
Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate
Let's get it ingrained
If you've a lesson to teach me
I'm listening, ready to learn
There's no one here to police me
I'm sinking in until you return
If you've a lesson to teach
Please don't deviate, don't be afraid
Without the last corner piece, I can't calibrate
Let's get it ingrained
If you've a lesson to teach me
I'm listening, ready to learn
There's no one here to police me
I'm sinking in until you return

Please don't deviate, don't be afraid
3:50 genesis of "do i wanna know"
Franco Bassi fuck lmao
Radiohead vibes with this. 2 of my 3 favourite bands. One of their best songs and probably their most underrated. Edit: after seeing the spotify breakdown of their most to least streamed tracks i can confirm this is their most underrated song. Its their least streamed song that isnt on the car
This was their peak

this would’ve been a perfect song for the TBHC tour
it gives me the same vibes
Alex=GOD
Such a deep song
Love it. Nice walk down the memory lane. Thanks for being back Mr Secret Door!
