Arctic Monkeys at Glastonbury, Diamonds Are Forever

[Panicfan1234567890]

love it!

[thekevorchestra]

Kanye's biggest achievement in life is that AM covered this song.

[pencilpushin911]

@thekevorchestra It wasn't originally written by Kanye.

[merenvagyokakacsa]

@thekevorchestra lol :D

[MaryamDiasa]

amazing

[JChinch7]

haha... i love that they performed this song... Alex sounds so cute singiing it... love ALEX!!!!

[acamilaL]

ALEX TURNER MARRY ME

[putricantik1]

turner i love you

[BlueSmurf10]

Hmmm... once you're over the novelty of a Shirley Bassey song being sung in an 'ee by gum' accent, it's not that impressive is it? For a cover you'd actually want to listen to twice, try David McAlmont's version.

[daffodil977]

I need this song. I need it NOW. But it's not on any of their albums, just some Domino Records compilation disc....

[wenaldy]

This song is okay, but the original is still the best.. i like it..

[Cjmb]

Alex is the only Guy on earth I would become gay for ;)

[eclesiastes14]

@Cjmb WTF! my nigga don't say that.

[JUAN6989]

This song almost makes me cry (u_u)

[madstheodor24]

I didn't know Seth from Superbad played keyboard? 0:47

[BenSaunderss]

check out my cover of this and some of my other covers

[TimonofBath]

He's flat.

[alexpjp]

@TimonofBath he almost always is, and it really, really (I can't believe I would say this) doesn't matter in this case; his style of voice and singing and manner of musicality in general means that this doesn't matter. His singing is untrained, without long phrasing... etc. and still BLOODY AMAZING beyond all belief, in my opinion.

Normally that would matter, but not in this group. Can't explain exactly why. AM's ROCK!

[Zitrone1212]

This is such s cute, amazing Cover of s great Song. Love it! Thank you so much for posting

LOVE

[BrotherLeader]

JAMES FORD

[JPedroS73]

this is the best band doing music in our time... they do the music that they want and like (rare in this time), the rest of bands that started at the same time that AM are now mainstream and do music to sell (except some bands, but few )...

Alex Turner is fucking awesome is one of the best musician of the XXI century, so, at least, respect him

[alexpjp]

@JPedroS73 I would have to agree. Together with John Adams, Nico Muhly, Luis Andriessen, Sigur Ros, and maybe Fausto Romitelli (recently died, sadly)... they write some of the best music of our time.

[Gothicelz]

Love arctic monkeys cover of this xxxx so rad x

[UnoPocky]

Why can't I find any bad song from them??

[TheAutonsUK]

I love the monkeys! everything they do is amazing, even there new freaky shit is amazing!

i would do anything to be like them, my band is a new indie rock band with what we see as a new sound thats not the same as every other band, and we'd love for some people to click the link to my page and tell me what you think, and what we could improve on? sorry if this seems like spam, but just want to share our sound with the world!

[ManuManu2]

What kind of Alex is playing here ?

[toucheturtle300]

Yes well, very nice for kareoke. Please leave the James Bond songs to Shirley Bassey. This is really awful. She showed them how to do it at Glastonbury.

[JerAhhKerEhh]

@toucheturtle300 erm i have four letters for you, STFU.

[toucheturtle300]

@JerAhhKerEhh Next time you go back to Glastonbury you may be able to recover you brain which is apparently lost in the mud. Thanks for your comment, it was simply marvelous.

[JerAhhKerEhh]

@toucheturtle300 my friend it isn't in the mud, it's in the sky after that mindblowing performance but your cynicism didn't fail to amuse me thanks man :D.

[joshuanassiri]

omg so sexy..

[richierichnumber1]

The band is growing up I wish them the best

[llnicellza11]

miles kane s' guitar

[YutzilCasablancas]

.... <3 Al parecer nunca se me ha quitado ese trauma!

[TheMrHeadman]

simply. l haven't any words to say how amazing this cover

[Solarissis]

God this song is beautiful! And his voice is so haunting, i love it. Makes me want to light up a cigarette and get my body of Johnny Walker

[ItsDefinatelyNiko]

I love this... fantastic rendition of a mega song. Brilliant. :D

[mirelabeg]

i used to love so much this tune :O <3

[richierichnumber1]

He so sweet..we would like to un-dress him lol...Pig

[YukiDukes]

omg Alex Turner...have my babies

[themrfrunklin]

@YukiDukes and mine too, please

[FlamingFairy]

@YukiDukes Excuse me, that's my husband you're talking about

LOL

[arawgabi]

He destroyed the song!!! OMG!!!

[AirdrieUnitedDaft]

"this ones for shirl" = shirley bassey ?

[UnrulyTrousers]

@AirdrieUnitedDaft Well, obviously

[AirdrieUnitedDaft]

@UnrulyTrousers dont get cheeky!

[MrMicahtron]

Arctic Monkeys...are for ever

[hannahb2706]

saying aiden deserves to die is a bit drastic isn't it? :S

[nikkmac88]

awful

[redheddd]

i hope aidan grimshaw dies!

[ballinastack93]

@redheddd true dat

[wenaldy]

Simply Amazing... I love both versions (Shirley and Alex)...

[redheddd]

@wenaldy but not aidan grimshaw!!!! the cunt

[wenaldy]

@redheddd

LOL.. Agreed..

[luuh265]

Bring Me The Horizon is an ass for steeling this track name.

[macr0machine]

Wow -what an ugly cover of a great song.

[callumbrown787]

it sounds absolutley awful. He sounds like a drunk nrotherner at a wedding on karaoke. They don't even deserve to sing this song its absolutley terrible

[MissHLA93]

@callumbrown787 I agree Aidan and Shirley are way better!

[softcelltainted22]

i just think this is a spectacular cover. i think shirl does a more badass version but i think alex's voice really captures the hurt and the pain of the realization. they are both perfect in their own way.

[MerMalfoy777]

T^T i dont need loooooooveee! T_T i want iT

[trainbike47]

I'm so accustomed to hearing Kanye kill it after the intro.

[P3DR1N1]

diamonds are forever ...forever...forever...forever­.....a..and eveeerrrr!!!!!!!! fucking amazing!!!!

[redheddd]

someone please tell me what that guitar alex is using is called! or send me a link..

[Rockinrub]

@redheddd It's a Martin F-65. Don't ask me where to find :D i don't know

[adrimas101]

@Rockinrub It's a Martin Gt 75, i've got the same

[goedwards]

Awesome cover !! Just great

[AM4eVeRR]

WOW Alex's voice! its fucking amazing! Alex can sing so good!

[CIAprods]

what a great tone...

[Glendale41]

Maybe some guys can sing this song, but it is definitely a song best left to Shirley Bassey.

[MattySP34Ks]

OMG LOVE IT!

[nanishh11]

OMG!! He´s absolutely F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C!!!

[heyitsmei]

How badass is this cover??? Favorited!

[probonobear]

what guitar is alex using?

[tumblesplitsthefray]

This is the best. I love Arctic Monkeys!

[paosgeri]

buen cover!

[xCaL2k7x]

Just pure AMAZING!

[TheCyrixx]

awesome cover!!!

[baukjex]

ah waw i love it!

[dirtyweasel]

how the fuck is a guy supposed to sing this song?

[DiddieStar8]

(L)

[tristessa56079]

Excellent cover. Made it their own.

[xXxJokerManxXx]

good.... they made the song BETTER

[MrsRatched]

Alex is my fucking platonic love :P

[MissBritChick28]

really good cover, but alex is flat a lot throughout the song

[piccadillyX]

I dance when I hear Diamon Are Forever :) Best cover !

[ariannaodell]

best. cover. ever.

[bouncingbongo]

just amazing :) His voice is mesmerising

[hamajuggle]

I think this covering this song inspired Jamie a lot since his guitar licks on the 3rd album are quite similar 1:02 - 1:20 1:45 - 2:03

[williampowers593]

@hamajuggle tbh, alex probably composed the cover, like most of the other stuff, therefore inspiring him to write other guitar parts like and then jamie plays them on the new album... doesnt mean he wrote it just cos he is playing it...

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

@hamajuggle Can you tell which songs they sound similar to because you got me interested now!! Lol :P

[hamajuggle]

@DoubleYellowLinesUzu Its not like he really plays the same notes or something, it's more the idea of comping he kinda got by covering this song I guess. For example on secret door, all his little licks sound quite similar to the ones on this song. You can also hear a lot of nice licks on cornerstone, that he couldn't have done on the first two albums. It's like it influenced his style of playing the guitar, you know. Less strumming, more keen and gentle and stuff :p

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

@hamajuggle Cool, that is what i thought! I'm glad they got those influences because it made Humbug absolute quality :P :D

[Dominic601]

what guitar has turner got? its not a starcaster or a dot?

[Curruptid]

@Dominic601

jazzmaster?

wait i think that what he uses on 3rd album

[Shhnrub]

its a gretsch. not sure which model

[benno747]

Dominic601

your a bellend

[THECLAYSTER]

@Dominic601

It's a Martin, everyone else is wrong, haha.

[tatokaki]

Me encanta!

[SuicideSamurai11]

YEAH!!

[tottwod]

i just cummed

its awesome

[tordek33]

Sublime. Excellents même là où on ne les attends pas !

[GoldeneyeMarine]

Holy damn. People actually expected him to sing like Shirley? He can barely sing period, the band is more spoken than sung. I enjoyed it. Thought it was an entertaining cover

[turtlerob]

what is that guitar?!

[SiriusBlacky]

It's a Martin F-65. It's very rarely and much more expensive.

[VasilisBotoulas]

Stick to your own...

[adagabranca]

hes perfect already, who cares

[perrin6]

shame he cant hit the notes

[dkadline]

he doesn`t have to be perfect to sing . well . can you hit the not?

[Westy590]

does it really matter? its about havent a good time and it being a good performance. not being a perfect singer. o know this, im not a great singer but i can perform with my band. meaning were good

[jmm119]

this is really really good, i love his expression at the start.

[alteye1]

it is awesome. Turner is stunningly great. But even though I have to say, that his voice isn't as good as Shirley's. But well, I think, this wasnt supposed to, cause it gots it's own style. I like it loats

[DeafEskimo]

i like the way his voice echoes at 1:21

[kruszynkaa222]

You're right! This cover is better than the original ;) and 'You know I'm no good' is great too :) Alex's voice is amazing :)

[Earls20]

probably the best cover ever

[HairManisEddie]

A band tha can cover any song

[MrDave219123]

i agree (y)

although they would sound a bit weird singing la roux :P

[Liibstaaa]

I LOVE YOU ALEX TURNER!

[feret1993]

the intro is chilling. love it

[marcoserapa]

epic.

[stopmakingthatnoise]

Too fast.  Too obvious.

[abrahamjsaca]

fantastic

[iHaveTehJooGoo]

so right. so right.

[Zizourian]

a demonstration of pure confidence!!!! most men wouldnt dare!!!!

[Dejana013]

Brilliant! Alex sounds amazing!

[Earls20]

such a good cover

[SuperLesher]

amazingly good cover by Arctic monkeys!

[lolanaru25]

loved alex's smile in the begining

[leenuke21]

like them, especially how the guitarist played( Jamie Cook i think?)

[hellie1978]

Very good!

[phillipotato]

[toboik]

[spiros11386]

this rocks

[arcticpuppet505]

[spiros11386]

oh i know, trust me! just never heard this song executed by them before... they are my fav band along with queens of the stone age and the pixies

[Tomlepage]

Excellent taste :)

[waalkz]

muito foda !

[GravityBoy72]

I love the original but I have to admit that this is pretty good.

Nice one.

[jeffindenver2002]

That was pretty cool, though I wonder if the band was bored playing it

[smandrei]

I thing you were quite rude saying that. Don't underestimate them please. :) (jeffindenver2002)

[FWNiightmare]

I don't think they play it if it was boring..they would of covered something else..

[delphinec74]

really amazing cover !! Alex's voice is perrfect !!

[xelliexlillyx]

damn! Alex is so hot.

And if there is a band that never fails on making a great cover, that is definitely Arctic Monkeys. Even with untouchable classics, like this of Shirley Bassey.

[evoultionxero0]

hey check out our video on blood diamond on our page comment on wat u think of the song thanx =)

[mu51cm4n14c]

This song is a legend!!

I think the other's cool, but the monkies put a great unexpected twist on it... I mean of ALL the songs they could cover...

Anyway XD LOVE this song, Arctics Rock!!!!

toodles

[GIA13615093]

Nothing shine and sparkles like a diamond. Just search any videos about famous diamonds here on Youtube and you all see why....

[BaumiF72]

This Voice Is Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! There isn't Something Wrong !!!!!!

[labababhiffy]

haha, you can see it in his face when his voice goes wrong!! love the guy though... but not in a gay way...

[Chacha5678]

[Chacha5678]

XP and i have the biggest crush on jamie cook

[shunt24]

u suck

[billcanada]

One thing, it is a girl song. He should have changed the lyrics.  I like the arrangement.

[UPFfounder]

isn't that amazing? ;-)))

[SmilinShadow]

fucking amazing, alex is my hero^^ I like the way he sings: " For when love's gone, They'll lustre on!!!" Indie Lives!

[scoshy]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[xoxnorthyxox]

fuckin immense....... hope they go to Glastonbury this year.......

<3 Alex Turner

<3 Arctic Monkeys

ooo yeahh..

[kwfkarateka]

What's this, Chaz'n'Dave?

The bloke can't even sing!

[yowwow]

Haha, totally true. Has absolutely nothing on Shirley Bassey. I thought before it started his voice might lack the power needed - and it did. Also it went out of tune in places. Still fairly enjoyable though - just massively over ambitious :p

[nickynackynoo123]

yowwow, you are absolutely correct, Alex has nothing on our Shirl - I mean, that woman has written some of the very best songs over the last few years, she plays a mean guitar and ALL her albums have gone in at number 1. Oooh, not forgetting her Mercury Prize win and nomination the year after, the oodles of Brits and NME Awards. Wait a minute...

[J3J3]

he is fucking sexy

[luigipatera]

Actually the instrumentation is great and the way he sings the song is amazing. you only see it from your American Idol point of view which has hurt the music a lot.

[MCtonyharrison]

fuck of Centrotoma he did this so good its unbelievable you stupid wanker take your critisism somewhere els

[majorthomm]

so true. the cover isnt that bad though, it's a pretty decent effort.

[lilliesnlilacs]

this = love

[z3pHyRx3]

Monkeys are 4ever ;D

[gigaburp]

he is just sooooooooo fantastic when he smiles *.*

[hoopschic]

it sounds like you have a wee crush. they are good though

[Molikei]

Who doesnt have a crush, im a boy and i think i'm in love.

[DrewSki360]

hahahaha u legend

[cplonnes]

Arctic Monkeys are forever

:P
