Rare acoustic arctic monkeys - bigger boys and stolen sweet.

[pherrer16]

Just cracked up laughing when he says right at the end "Don't clap".

[sammysue807]

he sings hot when he's buzzed lol

[Lenjaful]

Oh my god his laugh... -Dies happily

[Nickp1218]

2011 and i still listen to them everyday.....

[BeanzWarrior]

@Nickp1218 saaame!

[SaNdRiTaRoCk]

How are you sure that Alex was drunk?

[narut13]

i don't think hes playing the acoustic.

[Greenorblack]

@keepinITindie Ooooooh yeah totally !!!

[laneylikewhoa]

His giggle and sigh at the beginning is something he'd NEVER do now. He's so emotionless now. It's so sad. Even smashed, I want this Alex back.

[Rjimppy]

@laneylikewhoa he's not emotionless now if you listen to his lyrics in their new songs, the meaning's are so much deeper than their old stuff, he has just become more proffesional I like him both ways, lyricaly their new stuff is hugely better than their old stuff

[laneylikewhoa]

@Rjimppy Lyrically-wise, yes, he's matured SO MUCH. I'm saying that I feel like he doesn't show his old personality in interviews. One of the main points of doing interviews is to see the artists behind the music--their real self. I think that their recent interviews with him are boring because his personality is dwindling. Even shy, he still had personality. I dunno, that's just what I think....

Even so, this has NOTHING to do with their music, which is beyond brilliant.

[Sparkleslovestosmile]

@laneylikewhoa I agree with you, you see photo's of him now and he looks really emotionless, whereas a few years back, the photos were of him laughing and being happy. It's pretty sad. I want the old Alex back :(

[escapoligist]

@Sparkleslovestosmile I feel like he's a lot more .. alive and relaxed when he's with Miles. If you watch the tlsp interviews he's joking and playing with stuff, but when he's with the monkeys he's a lot more serious and reserved. But maybe that's just me.. :)

[SlyBlu7]

The really reminds me of the Sublime album "Brad and All His Friends", which was recorded at one of his house parties when he is absolutely W-A-S-T-E-D. He screws up his own songs.

I love the Arctic Monkeys- they really should do an acoustic album. Or even just a B-sides and Rarities deal, since they have so many random recordings.

[lockergr]

So, anyone know where this was recorded? Sounds like some house party to me--or at least that is what I've always pictured whilst listening to it.

And she's not nice, she's pretty fooking far from nice. She's looking at you funny rarely looking at you twice. <3 <3 <3

[DakoTaco95]

0:03, his laugh is so cute lol

[DakoTaco95]

I hope they make an acoustic album, that'd be nice, he does nice covers of their songs.

Lol I love him, at least he can still play lol.

[10dynamo]

[JwahAmore31]

Apparently Al isn't into bigger boys or bigger girls (Alexa is bloody too thin)! Anyway, that's his lady and I hope he's happy!!! We all desire to be in fantastic relationships, yeah?

[coldplayds]

[llllukesssmyth]

[catseatingclouds]

it's a quote from neil patrick harris in harold and kumar go to white castle 2.

[Fergalhealy]

Thanks!

[catseatingclouds]

..maybe he means he's not drunk enough... this song to me, is very close to alex, and you can hear that feeling of yearning in that sigh at the beginning.

"I have a lost love story of my own... *gulp/sniff*"

-NPH

[Fergalhealy]

When does he say I have a lost love story of my own?

[totalalex90]

my fave song, by my fave band

[orailo1]

no doubt

[doobiescoo1]

Come on Man,...He said that about the "dot's," because he has a buzz,........and is indicating that he can't really be sure of how many dots are there...... And, being American,...let me assure you that Brit pop does NOT suck!!!!!! Rather, it is superior to most of the so called Music that is produced in my once great country. (For the first time in my adult life, I am truly NOT proud of my country.) And, finally,...Arctic Monkeys are the first great band of the 21st century!

[Chivas1106]

Thats right u tell them!

Arctic Monkeys r the Best!!!!

[qsarpadoh]

@doobiescoo1 I think he's talking about the guitar dots...

[thelittlestnightmare]

@doobiescoo1 Okay, I love Brit pop and British invasion, but the US has some GREAT bands, too. You've just got to peal back the junky layers to get to the gems. We have some wicked anti-folk and indie scenes.

[foxyfoxy06]

@doobiescoo1 does the dots not refer to the dots that denote the frets on an acoustic guitar? that's what I took from it anyway!

[Jizzinacupful]

@doobiescoo1 i bet your not saying that now they are shocking now and seriously though there are plenty of other bands from the 21st century that are good sounds to me your just a bit ignorant to look for them or 'were anyway. end of the day though its all opinion though.

[chris313]

@doobiescoo1 I'm sure he means that he is talking about the dots on his guitar, meaning his frets, lols. Not necessarily showing him being somewhat intoxicated.

If you weren't on to that.

[AlegouveiaII]

torture

[AshWardill]

you fucking cockhe'd

[AlegouveiaII]

u can suck my cockhead...britpop sucks...U.K. used to have better bands...actually, the best band used to come form U.K...but since the 80's end....u_U'

[eliselaury]

haha sweet sorry haha

[eliselaury]

it is stolen sweethearts :) not sweets

[diabolododson]

he put it in the description, i think theres a limit to how many characters you can have in the title

[MUrrrrD]

haha, i like the way someone starts clapping, then stops when he says 'don't clap' xD

[MUrrrrD]

they should re-record an acoustic version of this and put it on one of the b-sides for their new singles they're gonna release. its fucking amazing.

[beng2345]

alex turner is god.

[bmthint]

wow acoustic version is a million times better

[tonytiger78]

honestly it sounds better acoustic. I still love them<3

[JayOliver25]

xD

omg..

when he goes.. "now just imagine the solo here" :)

lol

[diabolododson]

i think thats because he doesnt have enough frets on the guitar to play it, as acoustics have less frets, and he says at the start that he may not have enough "dots".

[AsSeenOnCCTV]

No, he problably means the dots on the top of the fret board ponting out the third, fifth, seventh, ninth and twelfth fret.

[diabolododson]

why would he say he doesnt have enough dots then? you can easily reach them on an acoustic, yet past 12th (wghere the solo is) he wouldnt be able to reach

[AsSeenOnCCTV]

I may be wrong, I just felf that my explanation were the most logical one. As I understand it, he's afraid of playing wrong 'cause there is no dots on top showing him where the notes are...

Big deal, anyway. Sorry if I sounded like a dickhead.

[jesusfucksignmeupalr]

ide have to agree with AsSeen, some guitars skip a few, and i can play past the 12th fret on m acoustic

[emsi505]

XD

love them xxx

[sionswansea]

is this on a album?

[xictor]

Amazing TBH

[barbylios]

[JazminSafadi]

Omg!! I love him giggling at the beginning.

[DoorsAreSecured]

I will forever miss the roughness of this, cause they never really do anything much like this anymore, do they? I guess that's why it's so special.

[Tatina6]

@DoorsAreSecured  you said it

[KateDoyleLeski]

[kentbrockman5]

[Jonn3782001]

[blobbirobbi]

[hejmifahr]

mums<3

[WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

this is so f***ing unbelievabley cool.  Love this song

[dervkelly1234]

I'm learning to play this acoustic.

it's actually like mad hard to get it to sound right.

[kinkladze28]

Verse is:

A (577655)

F# (244322)

F (133211)

pre chorus is summat like e d f# f

Chorus goes between the A above and D on the 5th (557775) the Dm 557765 for the last note

For the intro play the A and mess around with your little finger on the bottom 2 strings.

Should get you started.

[dervkelly1234]

Yeah i already know how to, it just doesn't sound right, like just sorta thin, i dunno.

[joost1992]

the A in the intro is a bit different, maybe this helps:

A7 (575657)

Am7 (575655)

Am5 (575675)

A7, Am7, Am5, Am7 and then the F# and F

I hope this improves your sound:)

[lenardsels]

thx mate, really helped me out...

[joost1992]

glad to hear so:)

[cannybigun]

i second that

[st3rn3nkind]

there's nothing in the world that is more enchanting than a drunk alex turner and his guitar.

[euskoalex]

you're totally right

[lockergr]

I so concur!

[pancakebriggs]

Enough dots?

[DAVENINE]

I'm guessing he's talking about dots on the fret board of his guitar.

[pancakebriggs]

Ohhh right

Thanks

[florsails]

alex seems to be on acid...

[adjamou]

i mean my version misses out the verse bout school uniform (which is ace btw)

[OtherSideOfMySofa]

i love the way you here him kinda laugh and sigh at the beginning ahaha

:)

[Brendonurieissohot]

hahaha this is so funny =D

[PopaNo1Z]

Thats amazing i love the sound quality and the roughness, makes it better.

[adjamou]

can anyone tell me why the vesion I have is different? :S

[joost1992]

cuz mr. turner is a bit drunk here^^

[Dani5585]

Don't Clap! hahahah

[indieluke]
