Arctic Monkeys on The Culture Show 05 Aug 2009

[Javiology]

this interviewer is hot

[TheMMlMba]

Alex is god's son.

[TheEpictoadjourney]

the interviewer wants to fuck the shit out of Alex

[MissCezGarcia]

@TheEpictoadjourney well who doesnt!!!! lol

[MotherTeresa456]

@TheEpictoadjourney So do I ;) x

[salmonbomb]

@mahavishnuxc i'm not sure that it is anymore. i really love "suck it and see"

[weirdfishesarpeggi1]

She's a fox, too.

[mahavishnuxc]

@weirdfishesarpeggi1 yeah i wouldnt mind singing her "another fuckin' shalalala".

also i like your name and it's reference to a great band's greatest album.

[housecry]

Is it true Alex Turner use to listen to rap music in his younger years? Wiki mentioned it and I'm just curious.

[khanteechit]

@housecry yeah, sometimes they play stuff from Warren G and Nate Dogg before their shows.

[billywiz21]

@housecry who didnt?

[hamajuggle]

he got fucking nervous when he had to tell about the lyrics :p

[MisterRedShirt]

every album is equally as good, i honestly cant decide which is best.

[cobainback]

i think the monkeys don't fuckin care about the music tendencies and the are most interested in do music that practicly no one in this moment can play i mean for my is the first band that i can say that they aren't the best band ever 'coz at the end they are musicians and the only that they are doing is that, play music and that is the best that they can do for us

[sethsword11206]

who praised him as the most poetic songwriter?

simon who?

[frylatt]

@sethsword11206 Simon Armitage. He's a poet and quite a good one in my opinion, too.

[sethsword11206]

@frylatt thanks a lot man... i tried figuring it out on my own, after 100s of loops i couldnt get it.

thanks, looking forward for some reading :D

[rbdfreak06]

He has nice skin... <3

[thecrimsonking187]

in the video he looks a little bit like the son of jim morrison. great band.

[irmajustine]

why does alex look like an angel here? seriously, anyone else notice?

[m0nkeysBrainS]

kind of awkward... it looks like both the monkeys are both more comfortable when matt's talking, but she keeps asking alex the questions...

[discoeyam]

The drummer is such a grounded sheffield lad.

[salmonbomb]

humbug is their best album hands down.

[imposiblenata]

@salmonbomb yes! by far.

[Grooverfc]

@salmonbomb Ah, man...

[mahavishnuxc]

@salmonbomb 100% CORRECT. You sir deserve a thumbs up.

[DanTheManFantastic90]

shame the last album was fairly underwhelming.

[28g34ajbsd]

humbug? it's really rewarding on repeat listenings.

[rcades1234]

@28g34ajbsd well if you like their album maybe try nirvanas song very ape it sounds very similar to something you may of heard before

[28g34ajbsd]

@rcades1234 thanks, but nirvana is where i learned to love guitar riffs :)

[rcades1234]

@28g34ajbsd that aint the point nirvana are shitty depressing cunts. so depressing the lead singer killed himself. just shows you where arctic monkeys are going

[28g34ajbsd]

@rcades1234 that's a great parameter for judging success. because no one likes nirvana or those other depressing cunts joy division and no one remembers them now :P

[honjin91]

new album is good!!! and so is all the older stuff :)

[offtheedgeoftheworld]

thanks for uploading this :)

[simocullen7]

theyv done exactly opposite to wat uve said

[gingerkid101689]

[vitb6]

[gingerkid101689]

[vitb6]

[ealeigh]

[kjuvette09]

[itcbass]

[reginaspanties]

[Popetandfriends]

I think they are better, differents from the first album.

[adkav92]

[feret1993]

[hono2010lulu]

[ariaire30M]

T^T

[YtLena]

[feret1993]

[sidandmoi]

[thegovernorsass]

[MagnificentFiend]

God, Lauren Laverne pisses me off sometimes.

[takeit10]

"was it kinda hairy?". who's this blonde?

[theatrejunkie101]

he needs to cut his hair. PRONTO.

[gen5lude]

like were getting some where

[miley3995]

What does Alex say at 2:24?

[JakeEdit]

"now it feels... like we're getting somewhere."

[DOMWED85]

why the fuck are they talking like that?? were's there accents gone??

[kjuvette09]

What? Their accents are still very much there in my opinion....lovely.

[Landerkuh]

I love their new looks and their new album. It's like a brand new style!

[calumwearsarolex]

arctic monkeys new look is fucking awesome... yeah how they used to be was also fucking mad but they have changed and its awesome

[AnakinSkywanker]

I understand about every 5th word Alex Turner says.

[marialuizaa]

good for you

[AnakinSkywanker]

then again I can't understand half the accents in my own country either : (

[marialuizaa]

ahahha its okay, im not a local, id hav to live there for some time to understand EVERY LITTLE THING, but i dont find it difficult, i just really need the sound LOUD

[marialuizaa]

okay... there are thousands of things id like to say like, what happened to their skins? alex looks like 16, you know... baby boy... smooth skin ahahahaha and damn it, hate his hair like that. id like to see nick, anyway, love the monkeys! still hard to understand what they say sometimes cuz alex seems to be talking to himself, speak it OUT LOUD!! love them

[jointhezen]

definately wearing makeup...i mean look at lauren's skin; shes practially 35, and it looks like shes just been born

[ellywellybabs]

legends.

[Majanimator]

does he have any eyebrows?

[itcbass]

haha from 3:10-3:16, alex knows hes going to get teased by helders after the interview :D

[sanshi84]

i`m in love with both of them ♥

[SuperSkips]

I've always liked the arctic monkeys and Alex's lyrics, but I'm really taken back by how beautiful Alex has gotten! I feel it took my attention away for a bit and I had to compose myself before crying lightning came on because that single IS AMAZING and deserved my full attention :)

[itstherevolution]

awesome

[LennonMorrissey]

no it's not. Okay, then, what is better than it at this very moment then? I take it you're just trying to get people riled up.

[UrAg1mP]

she'd get it lol

[HarrisIndie]

alex....what a poet!

[0mRas]

Alex's skin looks much much much better than it used 2 , it's actually very clear and perfect .. How did he finally get his skin fixed I wanna do it 2 !!!????

love Arctic Monkey's , esp. ALEX

[KjGydell]

make-up? ^^

[0mRas]

I don't think he wears make-up , he's way 2 cool for that

[DesireSpasm]

haha because make-up is for losers.

[lagman50]

He's finished puberty.

[titorockandshow]

well he is rich and there is something called acne medicine

[0mRas]

Acne medicine doesn't make ur skin this clear =S I think he had some work done like a chemical peel or laser with an excellent expensive Beverly hills dermatologist , anyways he looks better than ever

[afrojavix]

vanity :(

[MattBarrron]

I hate Lauren Laverne, especially her voice

[benjaminrichardshoop]

WHAT? She is PENG

[greasychipbeattie]

tbqh, thats quite naive. Would you expect them to keep talking about nights round town, one night stands and what-have-you? If they did that then I would lose so much respect for them as its nothing new. With the new album it shows their willing to go against the norms and dont give a fuck what the mainstream thinks. They're maturing and growing as a band and see the world in different perspective now. Wether you like it or not, its happening.

[kkgemini86]

It kills me when ppl have the audacity to judge good music by comparing it to itself in a juvenile state. They were always good but ppl change ERGO a band's sound changes. That's life so get over it.

I think it's really stupid and childish when ppl call others pretentious because they simply grew up which is what ppl are doing.

This is not 2004. They're aren't the same garage band looking for trouble, mischief and maybe fame. They are adults now and their music reflects that THANK GOSH!

[matenizer]

It's a bit bad one.

Dance little liar is simply genius

[tuber2654]

anybody knows if the new album's already for sale in holland??

[wacko211]

21st of august its out in holland

[tuber2654]

aahh fuck idd would've like to listen to it before i see them on lowlands

[LennonMorrissey]

Alex Turner is, undoubtedly, the finest songwriter since John Lennon.

[maryjane27greenday]

TRUE! so true, you know, I'm a beatle's fan as half of the world hahaha, 'n I'm a AM fan aswell, and Alex, WOW he's awesome, lyrics tell you a lot of things

[picinomundo]

@LennonMorrissey hmm I think Noel Gallagher can keep up with them.

[jcnota13]

@LennonMorrissey boo

[LennonMorrissey]

@jcnota13 haha

[rcades1234]

@LennonMorrissey shut up mate hes really done nothing humbug is so shit everyone knows it. anyway you got mccartney, dylan and even noel gallagher. but seriously alex turner and lennon should never ever be compared. lennon's in a different world along with mccartney and dylan

[LennonMorrissey]

@rcades1234 i see what ur sayin...but stop living in the past. we need to embrace the present. not everything mond u, gaga and beiber can fuck off.

[orangeporanges]

@rcades1234

i'm sorry, but if you think humbug is shit, you must like the the jonas brothers.

[bitterman188]

@rcades1234 Hey, come on, man. I know that Humbug may not be for everybody, but it's certainly not shit. Just like Arctic Monkeys aren't for everybody, but they certainly aren't shit. I personally don't think any of their albums are shit. And as for Turner being compared to Lennon. I mean, I am probably the one of most pretentious and possessive Lennon fans ever. And I can see the comparison. And while no one will ever be Lennon, Alex is very talented. And you know what? You can like them both!

[lockergr]

Times have become desperate indeed. The sight of Alex now induces blushing and self-fanning. Sad, sad, sad.  He's just as handsome in person. So glad I can now make that claim :-P

[mamaze]

it's nice to have a talkative alex turner during this interview, he's such an interesting person, very inspiring. good interview

[ArcticGirli]

I just cannot wait for their new album

:D

[stephenouve]

Its like the "corniness" of alex's answer at around 3:20 is killing him

[Zynukthoom]

haha so true.

that part was funny

[thegump1]

good i love Helders =D

[NoBusesx]

Ahhh, Alex's Eyes...

STARE AT ME!

I want his bright eyed children.

[petrellad]

Wow, this chick is hot.

[Arctic92Monkey]

Who's the guy at 06:06?

[PBoyUK]

Roots Manuva song = Witness (I Hope)

Cheers

PBoy

[DanthemanCTU24]

I saw this on TV, Lauren Laverne, Mmmmm!

What does he say at 00:21 ?

[waddup2717]

"Somebody call 999, Richard Hawley's been robbed"

[DanthemanCTU24]

Hawley, thats right, i wasnt sure what he said after richard, lol!

[PBoyUK]

"someone dial 999 Richard Hawley has been robbed" its the guy that it cuts to at 00.25

Cheers

PBoy
