"Cornerstone" by Arctic Monkeys @ All Points West

[BonJ2211]

Great video but they're playing too fast here, sadly.

[tippeltje118]

I really like the black pickguard on Alex's Jazzmaster

[AirHendrix91]

Great quality camerawork. What camcorder do you use?

[pev182]

what bass is nick playing here?

[RooftopManor]

@pev182 it looks like some kind of gretsch

[MrSecretcp]

al min. 56 alex se equivoco en la guitarra jaaja no importa es muy bueno!!!

[09mora09]

Dude this are awesome vids! thanx for sharing

[AirHendrix91]

What does he say at 0:07 after he asks them if everyone is anxious for Tool?

[toysintheattic93]

the chord thingy at 56 is hilarious i laughed soo hard when ai saw itt

[AirHendrix91]

Lol I JUST WANT ARCTIC MONKEYS!

[26btb]

Is it me or has alex gotten a bit cocky?

[haisevaewok]

@26btb

'A bit' is a huge understatement I'm affraid. : /

[DoomedMages]

@26btb implying that he was not before?

[26btb]

@DoomedMages Yes, yes I am...

[PRIScilittle5]

i love this song =]

[MalaLezka]

oni są naprawdę zaczarowani :)

[Shhnrub]

0:55 wrong chords mr turner(; ha quickly recovered though

[oliverbrooks]

Yeah it' s a Fender Jazz Master BouncingBongo! ;)

[bouncingbongo]

does anyone know what guitar he's got?

[XXDandi]

alex turner... mmmmm hes hot!!

[fotmarko2]

he is briliant.......what ever he does.......

[Nikopse6]

really?

[clissold08]

Lucky bastard

[LondonOpinon]

:(why the rythem guitarist not using his telecaster

[d0d0Lgarutz]

it was smashed right?

[yoitsm3]

because he doesnt have one :)

[fastertortoise2]

@LondonOpinon so he can get those richard hawley style notes

[DA87i]

@LondonOpinon Jamie? He stopped using it about 5 years ago XD.

[LeroyRifkin]

"that's what i wanna know" haha

[amiratame]

I loveee alex..

[macarthur19]

Love the solo.

[IndieRockGurl]

"I just want Arctic Monkeys!" :D

[degrassi44]

best song from the album

<3

[misterpress]

This song is a great little rock gem. I really like what Josh and Alaine brought out in them when they recorded this album in the Cali desert. This album has many layers, takes many listenings to pick up all the genius writing and recording. A fab 3rd album indeed.

[gigantafrique]

hahahahhaha

[spacebird413]

too bad josh homme didnt produce this song

[shreadhead96]

true...josh homme does a good job as a producer

[2bmcg]

after wpsia and fwn did anyone say 'do ya know what??? id really like them to change their style compleatly??' no one wud even be listening to this vid if their early stuff wasnt so good......humbug is a good album but compair to the other 2 its a waste

[potionaproaching]

my favourite song ever.

[Diego25689]

best humbug's song

[Flationis]

0:57 Alex miss a chord :-)

[pertaton]

hhahahah true

[kazumidk]

Better song from Humbug. I love them. Keep going, Arctic. <3

[DotsyOO7]

BD866 Maybe you should go and have a wank? you cunt?.

[lucablengio]

Fantastico (26/01/2010!!!)

[stanleyboy09]

gr8 tune... just like all of them

[lfc8085]

Please, what have you done, AM?

Go back to yourselves before this album was made.

[bustabad]

its called evolve!and its the better thing they ve done!

[Cover95]

does alex say "is everybody looking forward to TOOL?" ^^

[Loden123]

yessss <333 tooool! =D this song's cool =3

[DotsyOO7]

used to like them they went SHITEY and all American.

[lwlatics]

totally agree

[BD866]

Maybe you should learn to spell? Hmm? Just a suggestion.

[zeldaoftime]

damn dude,,,that's the fucke excellent hq five stars!!!

[mackatoonarmy]

thats a class camera thanx 4 upload!!!

[RicTic66]

North of England leading the way yet again with guitar driven pop...up the owls & blades  steel city magic by gum

[MJgUiNoO23]

i love the lyrics of this song!!!

arctic monkeys' awesome..

[dalerojo08]

son muy buenos estos pibes!

[919099364]

if i turn all the " shes' in the music to " hes" all makes sense...JONATHAN PIRENNE..I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE I GO...please never disapear from my life...my angel....ana oliveira

[goodtimesontoob]

my life had no meaning till i saw them live ^____^

[fhgkjhgjkfhkd]

it's like a strokes-esque look

[soccerholic101]

favourite song on the new album :)

[Harita88]

(L)!

[panu7]

great song, reminds of the smiths

[dancingshoesx505]

this was my best day ever.

[NeverSaidItWasClever]

best on humbug!

[hostnothrill08]

i dont like jamie's new look...

he looks like a homeless man...

jamie,please cut your hair T.T

[roncove]

thats why the 80's, 90's and 2000 came out so fucking baaad music, they take care so much for the fisical look that their forgot to listen the music...thank god for the internet, is bringin back the good taste....no ofense, and sorry for my bad english, is not personal, is just an opinion to Mtv, not for you

[MI6AgentNo007]

...I saw your sister at the CORNERSTONE on the phone to the middle man!

[misterblitzer]

i think he was wrong with his chord at 0:58

[UncrownedFirefighter]

do any one know what this song about?

i swear it's about a guy that seen his ex's sister and messed around with her thinking about his ex...but hey i my be wrong lol

[panu7]

i think it's about a guy that saw someone who looks a lot like his ex but i don't know either lol, I guess that's the point of songs that we all find a meaning to it

[jdthejumpingjackass]

I agree if you listen to the lyrics it's what he sounds like he\s doing

[bbalo]

i think exactly the same!!! but a friend told me it may be about a guy who saw someone in the street and he's seeing her everywhere he goes, but i think our version is waaay better haha =)

[UncrownedFirefighter]

lol thanks ^_^

I swear i listen to the damn song like 50 billion times and thats the only thing i can come up with (maybe it's because that relates to me)

[farrygisher]

i think its definitely to do with him lookin for the person that resembles his ex the most.

"smelt your scent on the seatbelt and kept my shortcuts to myself"

must be!

[toysintheattic93]

@UncrownedFirefighter the meanin is pre-ttty literal.

the song has the same idea over and over again just a different situation. he saw her at the rusty hook at the parrots beak and a the cornerstonee. wonderin if he could call her, her sisterrss namee

[londoncallinggg]

favorite song off the new album, hands down.

[itcbass]

nick got a new bass !

[otamas]

Sounds great also in live!

[darasusilo8595]

Seriously, they're genius! I was skeptical about Humbug, it sounds so different, but slowly I could barely see this is their best album so far.

CORNERSTONE! The most played song on my iTunes (Y)

[mrnailz360]

You have such good quality videos, did you film these yourself?

[gundleok]

Thanks for the compliment. Yep, all the concert content was filmed by me.

[Dejana013]

I love this song...it's my favorite song from humbug (with crying lightning and secret doors) sounds great live :)

[TheSolo940]

yeah those are all great

but the line "what came first, the chicken or the dickhead?" THAT ABSOULOUTELY IS CLASS

[fluorescentadolescnt]

this song is superb. the new album itself is a masterpiece! can't wait to see them in february !!

[xDreamTheater92]

Yeah same here man :)

[corinne1414]

i lovee this song

it seems like the recorded version is a lot slower, though

[hamajuggle]

He plays the Bm chord very strange...

[HarryAndAGuitar]

how do you play it then?

[hamajuggle]

I play it in with barré. Alex plays the low base note with his thumb, kinda like jimi hendrix did.

[hamajuggle]

Sorry, I was wrong, he just mutes the low string

[mkz24]

very good video and audio quality. oh and good song too :)

[outfirstball]

i'm glad the monkeys haven't carried on making music for the "masses". they and have grown up musically on humbug it's superb and this along with propeller is exellent

[TheBlueboyrob]

Yeah defo their new album is class.  Nothing wrong with their old stuff but Humbug is technically much sounder

[degrassi44]

this song is amazing. i can't believe how great they are live, they sound exactly the same as the cd.

[xDreamTheater92]

SEEN THESE TWICE :D

Best song on the album

[JamesGrady2]

hmm just though this tune sounds like it could be off that lastest jarvis cocker album - just me?

[JamesGrady2]

i really don't like the new album, i get what they were trying to do and fair play for not retreading, but yeah - not my thing... but this song is brilliant! :)

[dalesnail86]

alex turner is a genius and cornerstone proves that with his imaginative lyrics!!!! arctics are the past, present and the future

[PastryFaceHT]

"it's amazing what you can do with a thesaurus"

[meatballncfc]

sexy song

[bradleythebear17]

this should be thier next single, its bloody brilliant

[metallicaKOL182]

Great Song Great Band

[sheffieldminx]

How can that even be possible? I understand you dont like their new stuff but its not that they are going the wrong way at all its their decision and their prerogative to go in this new direction . I think they are being brave and are making the music they want to make instead of what the record label wants them to or following the trends and copying other bands. The Arctic Monkeys are leaders not followers, and we should applaud them for that. : )

[Ian09D]

brilliant song

great quality

tanx!

[silvercat26]

my favorite song!! alex is so cuuute!!

[mrnailz360]

FWN was good, WPSIATWIN was good, but personally I think Humbug is there best album. It's such a good album with clever songs and lyrics. Definatly the best yet :)

[audreey23]

great quality, thanks :)

[SCHIZOPHRENICxRSxLOL]

I personally reckon the newest album is quite poor but i love this song.

Fvourite Worst Nightmare was the best of both dark and laddish lyrics, my facourite album by them you cant fault any of the tracks.

[liamscokedealer]

FWN is their best album, way better than the first

[iIiLuk3yiIi]

is it fuck F2N is the worst Whatever people say i am and humbug are the best !

[TheChillsx]

Who the fuck are Arctic Monkeys?

;)

[davaughnhouck]

New Album!!!! Is So Awesome!!! lol

[sheffieldminx]

I really dont understand people who say they think the new album is bad it is clearly the most progressive and best they have done they have been true to themselves and not made a album full of 'I bet you look good on the dance floor's' and the ironic thing is if they had made that album the ones who dont like this one would be moaning that it was too much like the others oh well I guess you just cant please some people...but for the record I adore the new album and I love the Arctic monkeys!

[escapoligist]

WORD!

[sheffieldminx]

Thanks :D

[adsmsfu]

awesome quality!!!!! love it.

[KOOPSAL]

who killed the arctic monkeys :(

[tormenta767]

<3 Cornerstone<3<3 <3 I loveeeeeeeee Arctic Monkeys <3

[shastayeah]

creen como sn unos chingos pueden cambiar su estilo de musica pensando que nos gustara bueno a mi no me gusto y a un monton de gente tampoco pero bueno !! que aburrido esta el disco super lento y monotono !la bateria matt es malicimaa !!

[leperm]

Tanto te afectó que crecieran musicalmente shasta?

[PjectManhattan]

brilliant song from a brilliant album from a brilliant band

[thisisatrueeestory]

if i could give this a thousand thumbs up i would

[PjectManhattan]

haha i read this and thought it said a thousand thumbs down, and i was like, "what the fuck?" haha

buy i'm glad you agree times a 1000

[jonnoclo1010]

really like the new album, and this song is especially good, best on the album in my view :-)

[MrCrablouie]

best song... agree... very untypical Arctic Monkeys... album not so good..

[shastayeah]

yes ! i didnt like the new album !!

this is. well i wouldnt say the best bacz there's no much in the alubm but i could hear this one ! :( but defintly i wont buy the album

i have all the albums, Ep & Singles and dvds too ! but i wont buy it !!!!!!

[PlanetPissEmployee]

You should add more explanation points. I don't see enough.

[MrFlipperman]

candidate for the best on the album in my eyes, along with secret door and my propellor, awsome x

[lovablebubble7]

I am in love with this song. one of humbug's best. alex is a lyric master. and he looks great with long hair by the way :)

[sanshi84]

me too! (4x) :D

[scream1my2fuken3name]

duuuuuude alex looks awful with long hair!

aw </3

[dwjp]

This may sound hyperbolic, but I really believe that this is one of the best songs ever written.

[adds102]

i wouldnt say ever, but its one of the best which has come out in 2009

[dwjp]

For me, one of the best I've ever heard. I don't say that lightly. Oh well, each to their own.

[lockergr]

Alarm/arm rhyme was silly to me, other than that though....it's brilliant all the way round, esp. the "smelt your scent on the seatbelt and kept my shortcuts to myself" bit.

[IceManTom]

lol they have done an interview in a dutch mag, and its also been brought up in the tabloids that it is about alexa chung, cos his been away touring australia and that, plus such things as, ''the rusty hook, the parrots beak'' are all underground gig/club venues lol the sister thing is jus added to make the song darker, the kid jus has bags of talent and is the modern day lennon

[OxEagleLionCait]

just brought the new album, looking through the lyrics and this one stood out for me, its so dark and sexy but idk really warm and heartfelt. you dont get tat very much, so much emotion in one song, it just blew me away tbh.

[Duendealer]

they're using bendings finally!

i miss the Helder's second voice

Really good song , arctic monkeys...incredible band with a incredible song

[AdiDassler4]

This is easily the best song on the album, maybe not as dark or heavy as the others. But everything just clicks with this, its awesome.

[mmulnix321cg]

get that fifth doucher off stage!!!!!

[2bmcg]

whos the fifth doucher??:o

[lockergr]

Ashton is a nice guy! Plus, he adds to the sound and he has a lovely voice.

[Nitwit505]

I bought the new album today and all the songs are great!

[CjDj2007]

wow, Alex is really making use of his vocal talent now. Excellent song.

[superman1446]

Fuck tool !!!

[playy2525]

Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band and always will be and I'm so excited about this album.

[newb0rn11]

lmao

is everyone looking forward to.....

TOOL?!

yeahhhh arctic monkeys and tool. thats what we need x)

[bassev]

Yeeeah, wonder if Alex was looking forward to it.....

[newb0rn11]

haha

he sounds really un-enthusiastic about Tool coming on, I doubt he's ever really listened to them.

[lockergr]

Exactly. They headlined at Lolla too, and it sucked ass that AM couldn't have held that coveted spot.

[IceManTom]

I thought I saw you in the parrots beak

Messing with the smoke alarm

It was too loud for me to hear her speak

And she had a broken arm

It was close, so close that the walls were wet

And she wrote it out in letraset

No you can't call me her name

the parrot bit an some others are random, yet so so good hehe, just how he looks into everything to see her face.

This song is apparently based on Alexa Chung, Alex's girlfriend and how when we went around the world on tour he looked for her

[bassev]

Bit like 505, you mean? Yeah probably.

[dmich12]

I think it's not meant to be 'the parrot's beak' but 'The Parrot's Beak', presumably the name of a pub. Which makes more sense.

[eltuyllio]

No it's not. It's about breaking up with a girl and then looking for a similar girl all over untill you come across her sister and shag her.

Basically he tries to explain to his lost love why he did it. Because obviously she won´t be happy about it.

[IceManTom]

I mean you can say his lyrics are weird in this album and random as hell, but you gotta member back in the day, such great writers as lennon, written ''rocking horse people eat marshmellow pie'' newspaper taxis and marmelade skies? lol I bet this was ridiculed back in the day. And I mean not all of Josh Hommes lyrics make sense, but I feel these are the songs we learn to love and also remember, so come the arctics winter tour this year I gaurentee fans will know all the words.

[11SecondMemory]

They aren't random. They totally make sence to the subject in hand

[RaveyRaveyClub]

this song reminds me of The Bakery..

[IceManTom]

cant believe the people in the people in the Sun newspaper are slating Alex Turners lyrics and the arctics new album. After listenin to them live on radio 1 last night, I can only say I must be one of many who cannot wait for this album, its gunna be pure amazing, spesh if he worked with Josh Homme!! Arctics ROCK!!! FACT!!

[massivedickweedohyea]

Mate, it's The Sun. They probably don't understand the concepts of metaphors unless it's directly related to a paedophile or Z list celeb.

[PissFishMusic]

well said

[GolfTheMagicRabbit]

At least the Guardian have given the new album a very good review.

[Luc4sH4mm1ng]

that's a gretsch...

[only1joe4life]

Nick O'malley with a Gibson!!

[areliUxX94]

wow.!

I think ios a great song

jaime is just amazing..!

alex too

nick so cute

and helders! I love them..!

♥

[s7706]

I can relate to this song so bad! I'm not the only one who is crazy then.
