[robbiedigital79]

Alex singing and playing that bassline is very impressive...

[rafaelkunful]

[aaverga]

[Fzalderk]

What is the function of the third guitar actually?

[aaverga]

this is insane.

[Patii823]

Love this song!!!!

[theBattleofOC]

I love this song. I woke up the other morning and sang it right out of bed then posted it here on YouTube! If anyone wants to check it out and tell me if it sucks or not that would be cool. That way if it sucks I won't do it again, lol!

[MrDaanpa]

@theBattleofOC Attention whore....

[fedexbr]

S#it lyrics and awesome music, just AM can do it.

[sess2011]

@fedexbr S#it lyrics? Have you actually listened to them?

[yourdabull]

[Silva359]

Why are they so good live???? They are amazing!

[Darkuzito]

What a great performance. Well... they're the monkeys.

[ElvisChrist6]

Does anyone else think BBC did a terrible job mixing this?

[karlosed]

@ElvisChrist6 I do.

[JulianEdwardLevin]

Holy snakes, from 2:00 tp 2:10, he looks really possessed by its own musical spirit, I think THIS is fucking music, not shitty R'N'B or other craps we have nowadays...

[isabellanoches]

I don't care how his hair looks. I just love their MUSIC. Music is for ears not for eyes.

[geraorma]

@isabellanoches well said



[DeathbyCaffein]

@isabellanoches his hair is actually pretty awesome here

[isabellanoches]

@DeathbyCaffein yeah, actually I think he looks good in every single video.

[pssitsGiu]

@isabellanoches Alex Turner is for eyes...

[mahavishnuxc]

@pssitsGiu what's so special about him? i've been told i look like him ever since my hair got longer and i dont have these billions of girls after me. maybe its the rockstar thing

[pssitsGiu]

@mahavishnuxc I don't want to sound mean but okay, maybe you look like him, but can you write like him? Maybe the rockstar thing is a fact that makes him more delightful but I don't know, he is special. Everything on him is special. Okay, I'm fangirling now...

[theskimps1]

awsome. great performance. gotta love the arctic monkeys.

have a listen to the Skimps.

[ilujrn]

[daveyboy12386]

I commited an aggrevated assault on the iccy van man. I was pissed up tho so am not sure if it wer rainin....

[UmiKenja]

3 People aggravated The Ice Cream man on a rainy afternoon.

[BadKarmaisthekiller]

AMAZING drumming mister Helders¡

[SethHesio]

I fucking love that they're playing Fender Jaguars. Best guitar ever.

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

@SethHesio that's a Jazzmaster, my good sir.

[SethHesio]

@gamemasterzoomzoomom Really? Both of them? Damn... they look extremely similar. Thanks for correcting me with such class. Appreciated. :)

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

@SethHesio Alex is play a jazzmaster and the red guitar is a Fender Starcaster.

[omgm0n]

@SethHesio Actually, at 2:34, the extra guy, John Ashton, is playing a jaguar. So you were correct about him but not Alex or Jamie

[RollForever88]

mmmmmm acrylic drums....

[ixam1715]

the best track of favourite worst nightmare!

[will14fredo]

@ixam1715 Is sarcasm?... I hope it!... this song is from Humbug!

[checky1333]

@ixam1715 its a track of humbug dude

[Mastrastar]

this is quite impossible to sing and play the chorus at the same time..damn i'm **** trying for ages and gets nothing..

[Kaoxon]

@Mastrastar It's not, I can do it. Just keep practising, you'll get there. :D

Tip: Memorize the guitar part completely before trying to vocalize it. And try to exteriorize and individualize what you're singing from what you're playing. Basically, multi-tasking! Good luck. :)

[mgalcala]

click 8 several times "It's all gay"

[THISandTHISandTHAT]

@mgalcala WOW! XD

[stingray614]

why isn't this the theme song for Thor?

[7macondo7]

''stood and puffed your chest out like you've never lost a war'

[ChrisSutton82]

You know a true guitarist when he/she doesn't have to look at the chords/tabs being played.....pure class.

[zXeCLiPzeXz]

[MrBofitos]

nice : )

[TheJdfuentes]

"the next time that I caught my own reflection

it was on its way to meet you"

wow! thats a sick line Arctic Monkeys!!!

[HalezMina]

@funnylife90 Okay, you didn't get my sarcasm. But you clearly don't have a good understanding of American VS British accent, because this very much British sounding and sung, vocals.

[HalezMina]

@Funnlife90, Troll harder.

[funnylife90]

@HalezMina

What do you mean?

I asked why do they sing in American accent,

and what do you answer for that?

[cooljub]

@funnylife90 True, his trademark gritty Yorkshire accent is not quite so sharp in the singing anymore - he's curling around the words and drawing them out in that American rock style.. :-(

[funnylife90]

Why do they sing in American accent?

[laneylikewhoa]

@funnylife90 This is nowhere near and American accent... It's very northern English. And I would know, I'm from California. :)

[shams0001]

I've checked out many of their live performances of this song, this still remains the best for me. Impeccable. Stunning.

[canalla90]

alex's look 1:04

[harmonious20]

You can convert this to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

[juiceandmuse123]

In the real music video the singer was hotttt great song I'm obsessd!!!!

[blackmambaXCI]

Does anyone know what notes Jamie is playing during the 2nd verse and 2nd chorus?

[giraeldisco]

damn alex plays so hot!!

[bahxitcha]

One sucker didn't like this video! Who's the bieber's fan??! ¬¬

C'mon, this was awesome! Crying Lightning is one of the best songs I ever heard.

[picinomundo]

I want that green jag. quite badly.

[NocturnalBeing]

amazing song. sounds even better live!

[jukvox]

FUCKIN AMAZING

[FuckOffRoss]

@FerdinandSlater -

Number 1 - Its a "Stratocaster"

Number 2 - He doesnt use it anymore

Number 3 - He used a Fender jazz master

Just saying

[cmancrib]

@FuckOffRoss Jamie uses a starcaster. Just saying.

[fernfern9]

@cmancrib thought he used a gibson es?

[cmancrib]

@fernfern9 He does most of the time. But look at the headstock. Nooot a gibson. Fender had an es-like guitar called the starcaster, that eventually was out of production and they named a crappy class of beginner guitars "starcasters."

[cmancrib]

@fernfern9 He does a lot of the time. This guy was just being a nub. Because Jamie really does use a Starcaster. It's an old semi-hollow fender used to make.

[AlbertoD41]

I really do like Alex's new singing style its a lot more deep and adds a nice layer of depth that we don't get with music today.

Such a great album, its been 1 year and I have been listening to this album non stop. I lecture people when they say this album sucks :)

[Ticsu16]

Kurvajóóó :D

[egypt0079]

damn right, best song ever, the arctic monkeys are fuckin incredible i love this style

[johnny4297]

Aaaaaaaaand that's why they're one of the best live bands out there!

[mjdesantos]

I actually like this better than the studio version :)

[tim2tupman]

I still think this is the best performance of Crying Lightning i've ever seen. Better than the CD version!

[MattySP34Ks]

and how good is this band...look at the ratings...XD

[DiddieStar8]

I LOVE IT!

[indiebird12]

british rock is the best rock including these guys.

[Brianawaken]

@indiebird12 I agree!

[MrThepainters]

@indiebird12 well maybe you have to consider the fact that josh homme produced this album and that the arctic monkeys would not even exist without the strokes..

[georgejanet315]

omg! that voice!!!!

[willkerry]

what cymbals does matt use?

[crean625]

-Zildjian:

14" Avedis Mastersounds Hi-Hats

18" A Custom Fast Crash

20" A Series Crash Ride

[willkerry]

ah cheers mate! :D

[Oxfordless]

[julescote76]

[Bro30]

[TH1508]

Cannot wait for Sheffield this Saturday, but they all look like pillocks with their new hair

[JP101290]

WOW i prefer this version instead of the album version

[Ombra9321]

but..who is the man a the piano? I saw him in another concert...

[alrightsunshine100]

John Ashton, they said they needed an extra pair of hands when they play live so he busts piano/organ n a bit of guitar every now n again!

[tagc1136]

GREAT SONG, INCREDIBLE ALBUM

[Ombra9321]

I dont like so much this new album..It has not the power of other their albums..but this song is very nice

[vcbur]

what's with the hair?

[padmoss]

it's longer

[datinfernaljacket]

Heard a brilliant acoustic version of this on the radio the other day, the Arctics can do no wrong!

[cactaceous]

Grow your hair. You look like a hip hopper.

[jakesdaddy08]

its a fender, think its called a starmaster or summat like that. its the same thing the guy from the killers uses.

[FerdinandSlater]

@jakesdaddy08 i think its a starcaster, don't take my word for it but it makes a hell of a sound

[buewgewstmeiers]

wat kind of guitar does jamie have?

[WA1Shaun]

Its a Fender Starcaster. Its been discontinued by Fender. Yeah, Dave Keuning of The Killers has one too.

[riotvan93]

it seems like there're 5 members

lol

[balaclava505]

woow great song, great album.....we want 4th album! jajaja

[GirinoNerdxD]
