In the intro he says "Don't believe the hype" which basically means don't believe all the interest and reviews about the band. He's being self-deprecating I assume saying that the band aren't really as good as people say.
by british accent you mean London and surrounding areas? try look north... there are some accents you'll find .....let's say.........interesting.............
does anyone realize that they are playing the song but at the same time the original song is playing, look at 1:00 you can hear the thing i forgot and he's playing diffrnt!!!
He was being cheeky acknowledging the massive media hype that surrounded them at the time proclaimimg the band as the greatest thing since Beatles/Oasis/Sliced bread, whatever; everyone was jumping on the bandwagon and saying how great they were........
@bigmac1992 i've been trying to figure that out...never got it...but i said it before my band played a cover of when the sun goes down at my first gig XD
@ssavagessavage Still, I don't sound like these guys, but its like to us English people most Americans sound like they have the same accent. It depends on the region but you don't notice it unitl youve lived in the country for a while.
@dudeguy2157 there is not really such a thing as a "british accent" because there are so many different accents within britain depending on where you go
In response 2 titmank and djalex, chuck norris chose to be ginger so that when someone sed to him, u ginger dick, he could deck them and show tht his head does get on fire and chuck norris can kill two stones with one bird and if u and chuck norris both had the same amount of money, he wud have more! and chuck norris does get breakfast at 10:31 am FOOL!
I saw them at lollapolloza this past summer. I was probably looking forward to them the most and they were TERRIBLE!!!! They played only 2-3 of thier hits and spent the entire time plugging there new cd with no energy what so ever
These guys at the time had been playing there instruments what 2 or 3 years? They sold 360 thousand copys of there album in the first week of it being released, a music industry record. Your arguments are all invalid.
woooa haha they look like 15. nah i don want to be offensive, i love the AM and its amazing how they developed. even though theyre really young their music has made huge huge progress within the last couple years.
fukk you gay haters! music its not how good youre playing the fukkin guitar, but you must do what you love to do and then people will se that and love! cobain also played like a 8years old boy but all the world loved him! idiots!
well your name is "buffalodischarge" what does that say? :L:L you couldn't write a song as raw and pure as that in a million years. you are simply wrong. peace
well you are obviously not a musician so you dont know what your talking about..and yes your right i couldnt write a song like this cos i'd think is was aload of crap!
you know i think its funny cause the arctic monkeys are a multi platinum band who tour the world? correct me if i'm wrong but you have probably done nothing to influence the modern music scene. its one thing to say you don't like something that its another thing to say that its crap. if it was crap than the majority of people wouldn't like it.
Lemme guess, you're one of those Dragonforce fanboys who think "Oh, the guitar part on this song isn't complicated or challenging, therefore the band must be an untalented peace of crap!"
Amirite or what?
Tip: Try appreciating music for its originality and spirit rather than for its complexity.
in 2006 when they released this there was lik a queue of magazines nd shit wantin 2 talk 2 dem nd they wer jus lik fuk off so hes basically sayin lik us co u lik us not cos nme tell ya 2
In 2006 when they released this there was a shit load of people wanting to get in with them because of the hype surrounding them but the band were like fuck off we dont give a shit like us cos u like us not cos nme tells you to.
well a hype is just a new fresh band like arctic monkeys were in these days, and basically a very announced band by the media, " they are the next Beatles or Oasis" for example =)
Dont belive the hype.
