Arctic Monkeys - Potion approaching Live (Rock for People/Czech Republic)

[JakeRamone15]

haha i love the arctic monkeys but this is such a rip off of Nirvana's very ape:)

[MrButtzo]

The person clapping in the foreground has no rhythm whatsoever.

[Metalshamalaya]

cut ur hair alex :D

[williammoseleyfan101]

@storer2594 - No mate. It's John. A bass I don't think can sound that high...even with pedals

[lilacsbloom10]

No, I would not like you to build me a go-kart, but I would like you to hurry up and get in my bed already.

[karlssonlicious]

Alex, Jamie and Nick kinda has the same hairstyle as Jack White there ;D

[juanyboy]

i like this song ALOTTTT simply because it sounds just like Nirvana

arctic monkeys + nirvana = 2 great bands!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alienmad462]

[fe93lu]

I also think they're laid back :/ where is the excitement?

[neychev]

[pandaapple54]

[MardyMonkey]

[jonnymobs790]

[inchwormrocker]

great song, but alex turner looks like a scruffy teenager!

[asambasamba]

'true :P

i dont really like his long hair xD

[TheMonkeynaut]

The color at the background (Blue/green) was exactly the colour i though that would be the artwork when i heard the title of the album "Humbug" hehehe (Sorry for my english)

[SecretDoor16]

HAHA same!

When I saw Potion Approaching I imagened it to be a bluey green, I imagened Dangerous Animals to be Red, Sketchead to be yellow, and Secret Door to be blue...And they all are :L

[TheMonkeynaut]

I wanna cry (just kidding) someone understand me hehehe.

But I though Dangerous animals to be orange haha.

[StrongImaginationA]

Hehe, the colour I associate with "potion" has always been green!

[mariejeah]

lovee from 2:43 -2:50ish best part

[ohwowitsmaga]

he seems to have misplaced his guitar..... what's that all about????

[cubanwhitey]

Remember alex always deliver the lines to the audience!

[le0neggie]

Wow.. great!!!

I'm going to see them in the Heineken Music Hall in holland... It will become a party when i see this:D

[pooonapiece]

[blloud]

[theabomb117]

[pooonapiece]

Very ape sounds like voodoo peole aswell.

[385181]

[kiss904]

[donslover1983]

[iamtheindyman]

[InBloom07]

Nicely spotted.

The Vines are so underated. [:

[lucaslmgv]

Great band.

And yes, it sounds like very ape by Nirvana.

[MyOrangeDeck]

i agreed have the same sound , but is differnt tempo , PA is as far 1,000 years far from VA.

i like so much this killer song , and in studio you really appreciate the different

go monkeys

[ArcticMonkeysMB]

Godd I want to see them really bad in September! But all my friends have shit music taste.

[jackprime]

this sounds like very ape by nirvana

[blacker07]

fuck no

[jackprime]

u really cant hear it?

its almost the exact fucking same rift

[blacker07]

come on dude... hear the difference... train your ears... even... hear the notes... not even the same number here and there... way different... open string both, but very different in their use...

it's like saying that jailhouse rock and I Saw Her Standing There are very much the same

[jackprime]

no its not, they are two totally different sounding tracks

its like saying the beginnig to dont look back in anger and let it be sound the same

im not saying its a bad thing, their both fantastic tracks

[falconplyr16]

wow that was a shitty effort on alex's part

[superchampxd]

check out my playlist for full HUMBUG album in HQ;)

[DewyRosie]

I love watching Matt playing the drums. soo good

[HahaIPownedYou]

it sounds exactly like "Very Ape" by Nirvana

OMG THE MORE I LISTEN TO IT THE MORE IT SOUNDS THE SAME! if you dont believe it check it out!

[callmepresh]

oh man i wanted to hate your comment...but it does. WTF??? i dont care its my least favorite, but i cant wait for the whole album release. the more i listen the more i LOVE, altho its different. Alex looks like the rock star he is - finally. SEXY SEXY HAIR!!! AWESOME!

[shindra86]

yup...both tracks start up the same way...I guess Alex and Co were listening to In Utreo alot lol

[blacker07]

are you kidding?

[shindra86]

No, wat did I say wrong? both tracks do sound very similar in the starting. i listening to alot of Nirvana, that doesn't mean they copied totally and I still think this track is pretty good, but not better than very ape IF someone asked me to compared.

[pooooolex]

what happened to alex?

[pablodefelipe16]

VERY APE.... NIRVANA...

i DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING!?

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­?????

[Tubeman548]

The sound of the bass riff in Crying Lightning is SOOOOOOOOO queens i love both of these bands and have seen them like 8 times each fuck there brilliant.

[Xelif37]

Really glad that they collaborated with Josh Homme, Humbug has got that same gloomy touch that the Queens Of The Stone Age have in there music, gotta love it!

[dancingshoesx505]

every vid I watch from this concert I've noticed that the lighting is great. I love the colors.. especially the blue for this song and the purple in Secret Door. :)

[Hugoow16]

matt's drums are tight!

[psychalien]

Nick looks like Jack White :D

this song is awesome

[JTArcticMonkey]

this is an awsome vid, well clear and good shot;) nice 1

[freefrederikfree]

epic again , seriously .. :D

[pliz91]

Is there a hide guitar? I mean... 0:35 WHO'S PLAYING?

That's a guitar, so that can not be Nick bass!

And what about 1:40 ? Who's doing the slide?

Mystery...

[stumpycandle]

the keyboard player

[MrSecretDoor]

John Ashton is the mystery man...

[pliz91]

In the future will Alex play his parts?

I dont want a 5th monkey :)

[thejeeean]

me niether, i think its stupid that hes even there

[winarc505]

yes, in the future, alex will play his parts. He's only there for this tour.

[dancingshoesx505]

oh I didn't know that. So is John Ashton not going to be playing with the during the US tour?

[winarc505]

it's "secret john" the organist

[panther1fan1]

to tell the truth this song just doesnt stick out to me.. im a huge fan and i think the music transition for them has been crazy good, but something about this song just doesnt stick out to me

[GPaDLA]

i was the same at first, but listen to the breakdown part. its insane, it makes the song. its gonna sound epic on the album!

[winarc505]

I agree I'm a huge fan too, and i love their new sound but this song is just pretty good

[ste20walsh]

Im a gigantic AM fan but Alex is trying too much to be like Julian Casablancas!

[loc4190]

well they did start off by covering songs by The Strokes

[dancingshoesx505]

what kind of shirt is he wearing?

[6dawg]

alex? hes wearin a shirt from 'the vines', the aussie band

[dancingshoesx505]

haha yes I meant Alex.

thankss :)

[thejeeean]

ey wensday! xD

Alex is a GEE! :D

[dananananankirk]

sounds a lot like delivery by babyshambles to me. can't wait for this album

[lastshadowmonkeys]

Haha! Serious? I don't hear the resemblance...

[stumpycandle]

not at all

[HiThereImKester]

love the sound of this song

[baseballfury93]

Potion approacing

sheild your eyes

potion approaching

visualite Holeing on a token

swollen in size

potion approaching

sheild your eyes

But if we're going to escape though

we really ought to think it through

would you like me to build you a go-kart?

[thejeeean]

i think the part from 1:20-1:23 is simple yet superb :]

[prewizzle]

Indeeed

[jannisturner]

what does alex say in the beginning?

[whsd110]

something about a guitar and how he was cracking up. he might be drunk

[baseballfury93]

And then we fell asleep in the car until the bumps woke me up in your grip and i tried to look into your mouth and then swept me back down to your palms ??? reminder your's is the only ocean on a swing from yours is the only ocean on a hang on Oh she'd be frightened of your reflection and prefer her as a cartoon if i could be someone else for a week id spend it chasing after you cos she's not shattering my attitude no matter how she folds the potion

[kevindiemusic]

your vids are really greats !!the best on youtbe..check out my cover of arctic !thanksssss

[xDreamTheater92]

:\ Once again this songs not that good :\ i hope the albums good

[Hugoow16]

what is that amp stack in the middle of the Hiwatt and Badcat?

[Scoob505]

Amazing.

[callmepresh]

what are you all talking about his hair? wheres his guitar? hes metal now? oh man grow up like the band. I LOVE THEIR LONG HAIR!!!! COME ON MATT - YOU CAN DO IT TOO - ITS CALLED A FLAT IRON BABY!! LOVE THIS SONG

[dancingshoesx505]

no, they need haircuts!! Well Alex and Jamie do anyway. I like Nick with long hair. And Matt should stay the same. =)

[dancingshoesx505]

this song sounds great!! but why isn't Alex using his guitar?

[Lionsdale]

he didn't on perhaps vampires,

[dancingshoesx505]

yea he seems to be playing guitar a lot less. that other dude on the side is doing it a lot.

[Powlerz121]

Jamie Cook :)

[dancingshoesx505]

no not Jamie.. i mean there is some other guy that plays the organ or something WAAAY off to the side. lol :)

but I don't think youu can see him in this video. He's in one of them, I know it for a fact. hahah.

[Powlerz121]

Ahhhhh! Wierd its not alex as he snt playing guitar in it :o

[FareEvaders]

i think his names john ashton or sumthing like that, he plays organ an guitar like, he seems pretty good aswell ! haah

[bluerondoo]

this is fucked, Alex looks like a metal head. I like the song though

[karlssonlicious]

i think that Al will get a similar haircut to the one he had in 07 because of TLSP when he starts working with that Miles again?

[sergiotheswank]

why does that matter

[dancingshoesx505]

I hope so!

[doobiescoo1]

Agile beast,....sorry

[doobiescoo1]

The Lads are evolving. Alex IS the crooning Frank Sinatra of this generation. Everything is tight, crisp, and check out the agilke beast ruling that kit. Thanks Arctic Monkeys!

[Robalka]

In Poland he wasn't so talkative :(

[karlssonlicious]

looks like Alex, Cookie and Nick got a perm?

[jacopoatzori]

HE SAYS MY NEW ALBUM

[TheLuke533]

nah he says 'from our new album' but because he's from sheffield he says it like 'from r new album'. :)

[jacopoatzori]

i'm keep listening again and again...but it seems "my"...but hey i trust you! thanks:)

[TheLuke533]

its ok lol. im from leeds which isnt that far from sheffield and we practically have the same accent so i can pretty much understand what he's saying lol.

this is a brilliant song. dont you think? :)

[jacopoatzori]

whoa that's cool...

that's brilliant ok....just one thing...search on youtube "Very Ape" by Nirvana. Then tell me what you think.

[TheLuke533]

It sounds mostly the same! It has the same sort of guitar riff. 'Very Ape' is a bit faster though. :)

[jacopoatzori]

Yes they are..the same i think.... and i dont like it...:(

[John16H]

yeh i was a Nirvana nut haha, very apes got more slides but the chords are the same

[sergiotheswank]

different key

[John16H]

The finger positioning is roughly the same

[matthewodonnell23]

[Robbyd91]

Very  3rd album Strokes-esque

[everynothing123]

"i didnt quite get there. I weere tryin to give u- eh wednesday! i wuz tryin to give u a guitar. gone there but but i cud only get halfway to it and i..cracked up laughin"
