[squall468]

[TheMrErlando]

I Never Bored Listen to this song...

[MsShehan1]

This and the Kooks = music <3

[gelvenchief]

They are just exploring different kinds of music. As long as they have fun playing whatever they play, then let them play it.

[JakiTyran]

Guys! i know this might sound fake! but! i know that one of the teachers is a teacher in my previous school! SJS! and what they did! was come to our school! not joking!!! thats the song i first heard from them! LOVE YOU!

[Brachios12]

What happened to these guys?

[TheBlablafunny]

@Brachios12 i really don't know they were good but now... they dont know what they are doing

[Brachios12]

@TheBlablafunny Yea, they've gone all indie and mainstream

[Brachios12]

@Brachios12 If that makes sense? It's mainstream to be indie now

[blabla8762]

1:31

READY....

!!!! FIGHT !!!!

[fuckwaffle97]

i have just realised that arctic monkeys songs are the most simple song to play on guitar yet they make them sound like pure genius!

[TheMigelska]

LOOOOOS AAMOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! ARCIC MONKEYS ES LA MAMADAAA VENGAAAN A MONTEREEEY!!!!!! ILOVEYOU!!!!

[Flyingchuck98]

This song maybe tell San Fransisco, but the meaning of lyrics doesn't contains "San Fransisco"

[swiftyg69]

thumbs up if you're from hunter's bar or rotherham...

[bridges3211]

2:07 epic moment!

[SuperHndra]

Alex Turner The BRILLIANT singer and song Writer, he like paul :)

[macakbato1]

[LetsJem]

[squall468]

290 people are bitch and like justin bieber 

[Comment0136]

@squall468

why does every music video have his name? Its not even funny anymore

[26socksSd]

1:24 What happened to "The band were fucking wank" ?!

[emptiestskies]

@26socksSd I suppose they had to censor it for certain viewing audiences.

[92Phaywood]

@26socksSd radio edit i assume. not as good haha

[benlover2]

You know Arctic monkeys save the music in this generation.

[Luanav1988]

But this is a censored version? This company guys have no sense of whatsoever. 

[Luanav1988]

So many days walking randomly around the city with the song in my head.

[dgjhdfgfdghsd]

it feels like a cover...

[Superlovemuse]

THE NEW BEATLES!!

[JAIMEVERA94]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEX!!!

[bigbosh147]

LOVE HIS VOICE IN THIS VERSION

[jordanellington]

i'm so sick of you pretentious commenters. BalanceLever, why do you care if someone is proud of being from san fran? i've been all over England and although its great, San Fransisco is so much cooler than anything on that island. being a europe whore, i hate to say that, but it is true. san fran is funner than london. so don't talk shit unless someone confesses pedophilia or something. grow up

[xxBlackTreaclexx]

@jordanellington

now you're the one who's talking shit.

he's probably just stating his own opinion.

[h1bB0ilzZ]

@jordanellington i dont think you quite got the point either...

[BalanceLever]

@cookiecrumble748 'THUMBS UP IF YOUR FROM SAN FRANCISCO', what the fuck!? Thats totally not even near what this tune is about! Its about the would-be-yank british scum bands, that are bullshitting and spouting crap songs for money about cities they've never seen and experiences they've never had! AM are attacking them 'you're not from new york city, you're from rotherham!' I dont care if americans have 'discovered' this band but dont pretend you've a fucking clue, cos you dont

[DaanKembangMawar]

@BalanceLever wow I totally got the meaning of this song wrong... Thanks for explaining!

[heartkill3]

@BalanceLever

fair point, but on the other side of that I'm sure that not all Americans had an issue understanding the lyrics. And aside from that, anyone who is not the artist who goes through great lengths to explain a songs meaning is a pontificating ass. No disrespect, of course.

[cookiecrumble748]

@BalanceLever dude, I understand the lyrics completely. All of my family lives in Britain but I live here in SF, and yes I am PROUD to live here. I am a citizen of the US and the UK... There is MUCH more to do here than Manchester I can say that for sure. I wrote that comment because I am proud, and I know that was what the song means because I have a brain.. So stop acting like one of those British scum bags because you obviously have never been to the US much less SF!

[cookiecrumble748]

@BalanceLever Although I am from San Francisco and I was born here, my heritage is all English. Every single family member lives in England or Whales, and I spend at least three months of every year there. There is a reason that my family moved here before I was born, and that is because SF is simply amazing, and theres way more to do than manchester. So now you are acting like those british scum bags, because your judging and I highly doubt you have ever been here. i understand the lyrics..

[clarkey420]

@cookiecrumble748 well done, you should be really really proud. you are the greatest human-being EVER. We should bow down to your stupid fucking perception and lies.

[hazzah1998]

@cookiecrumble748 alright calm it, number one you spelt wales wrong (further evidence that your not a citizen of the uk as you claim to be, number two no one gives a fuck about your life story, number three you sound like a dick

[jonylawson73]

fucking selling out to the yanks....fuckin wankered?

[TwoBlokesandaYob]

I have a feeling that the band wasn't very good because they were fucking wankered.

[skatingmusic3]

im getting on a plane for san fransisco in an hour(:

[MastersMusicTV]

I bet Andy Nicholson regrets leaving so much.

[frztiz]

@MastersMusicTV Now he's got a hip hop band. What a shame

[MastersMusicTV]

@frztiz What a tit. He could be one of the biggest musicians in the world

[olafvisser]

@MastersMusicTV; he made that choice after their bigass succes with Whatever People Say, so he probably knew what he was gonna miss.

[joeyj92]

They could play this song at a sold out show in San Francisco and everyone would still be grooving to this

[Laserwalrus]

@Macio6 Pop artists are the ones make shitty songs for money, constantly releasing singles. Artic Monkeys have true songs with amazing meaningful lyrics and well written melodies which have had a lot of time and effort into making there songs

[HungryDan1994]

Or you search "Coldplay" on Youtube... just me? Ok just me.

[EoinLfc09]

@HungryDan1994 yeah coldplay are shite haha

[Cristian3995M]

:/ that bassist was cooler ..

[EoinLfc09]

@Cristian3995M nick's better though, i doubt andy could have written a bassline like the hellcat spangled shalalala or cornerstone

[TheeMarilyns]

youtube.com/watch?v=u1hCzaQ2qq­o&feature=related

[EstamosEnEsoo]

Dejo un cover de mi banda, SOMOS ARGENTINOS :)

[Scraatt123]

The band aren't very good. they're fucking wank!

[Grooverfc]

After the latest album I found this song very ironic...

[raizin8]

@Grooverfc why?

[Grooverfc]

@raizin8 I really really don't care to explain if ou don't get it, but look up what this song is about and then (for example) look up the "Suck it and See" music video.

[Lakhrahnaz]

@Grooverfc Smd

[raizin8]

@Grooverfc oh yeah, i know what 'fake tales' is about but since you mentioned the suck it and see video, i get it, cheers.

[LucasCanDrum]

@Grooverfc Um, all of their new videos from Suck it And See take the piss out of American culture. They're still the same boys

[bubblyblkbear213]

@Grooverfc i don't understand the irony.....

[Honzuaa]

Funny thing is that the latest Monkeys album and their image now are all covered with this "being pseudo american rockstars from California" However Turner still keeps his briliant lyrics

[MillaPetit]

Whenever I listen to this song when I'm walking in the streets I feel like I am on a british movie. lol

[LAURAM0822]

this is a great song ;)

[lishy115]

Uhh I can't tell if that macio dude's comment is sarcastic or if he's just an ignorant idiot...

[tooncabzaza]

@Macio6 just die

[TheOtherBBC]

@Macio6 youre retarded. lady gaga is an exception, but almost all other pop artists only make music for the "fat rich dicks." this song was made, recorded, and this video was made way before they were even signed to a big record deal. and you dont have to criticize this kind of music just because you dont understand it, like it or whatever. listen to your kind of music, we will listen to ours, and stay the fuck away from this kind of music if you only want to criticize it.

[Macio6]

@TheOtherBBC I didnt write that

[LiamaiL8D]

Brilliant song, want to hear another great British band? press the fucking replay button.

[Panchostra]

@LiamaiL8D

or listen to the beatles maybe?

[latioskiller]

@LiamaiL8D Or you search "Beatles" on Youtube

[Sunnrainbow]

@latioskiller Or you search "Oasis" or "Kasabian" on Youtube

[VacuumBipes]

зачем рекламировать музыкальный клип? :))

[TheMazzolator]

@VacuumBipes WHAAAAAAAAAA????

[rdotcdotw]

i feel fucking PROUD to be from SHEFFIELD!!

[lokimountain]

"that's the proof that love's not only blind but deaf" GREAT LYRICS

[lucaslovatto]

[robbmedeiros]

[reallyhealee1514]

i thank god everyday i found arctic monkeys

[SailorPeach5]

i still love this song in 2012 :)

[DivinaObscenidad]

@SailorPeach5 Me too :D

[TheOfficialInception]

@SailorPeach5 Its 2011...

[MotherTeresa456]

@SailorPeach5 Do you mean "I will still" because if you have failed to notice this is 2011 not 2012.

And if you did that still dosen't say much as there is only a short time until 2012 so people don't tend to lose interest in a good song within a few weeks, maybe it would have been better to say 2013. x

[wakeuptomusic]

"the band aren't very good"? no, they're fucking wankers. darn censorship.

[piensenunpoco]

ALTO TEMA! MUY BUENO!!!

[pagitaaa]

[DontCallMePerfect]

Alex Turner, will you marry me? That is all.

[shimstarsletca]

I'm from Rotherham!!!!! X

[AbiT50]

Love how english these lot used to be, but now its a bit annoying how they've gone all american(ish) on us (leather jackets, greaser haircuts, ect) 

[40SideOfVernon]

@AbiT50 Yo people like you. seriously need to stop bitchin' they didn't put out music for you they put out music for them, they dress however they want to dress, and make music however they want to. Let them be, sorry for the attitude but its people like you that create these stupid arguements over youtube. people change. things change. you can't put out the same music or dress the same forever. let them be. they are still great musicians. this goes out to everyone. not you. sorry for picking u

[DonnerParty1000]

@AbiT50 You know who else had greaser haircuts at one point? The Beatles.

[xXMAGZ911Xx]

[jodyleftrightx]

listening to Arctic Monkeys is like heroine,once you've listened to one song,thats it your addicted:).

[AtomicVHPunk]

I remember when their first album came out, the one moment nobody ever heard of them and the next week everybody was talking about them and wanted to see them and bought their album.. it was ridiculous but they totally deserved this 'hysteria'

[EvanswfcRidge]

your not from new york city your from rotherham

[DerbyArmy08]

Can't physically listen without nodding my head.

[PlasticTramp1898]

285 people are fucking wankers

[EoinLfc09]

@PlasticTramp1898 or even, they "aren't very good"..

[alainacward]

This song is about a band who took inspiration from the USA while never having been there.

I absolutely love this song <3

[FredWhittlemusic]

I saw them last night in cardiff, Absolutely fucking brilliant!!

[hollium]

@FredWhittlemusic was there too; not sure about the vaccines but the monkeys fucking killed it

[SpiTxChAos]

Justin bieber is the best singer....(giv me thoudsand of thumbs down button)

[ReportedTV]

@jamesthefool

Actually, i went to see the Arctics last friday, and they were fucking amazing, even the new stuff people were going crazy for. Why? Because they are the best band going. My friend, your name precedes you.

[Ninjamonkeydrummer]

I like the way it show a guy sniffing a line of coke in a toilet after it says "all the weekend rock-stars are in the toilets practicing their lines."

[jamesthefool]

It's like they're singing it to the 2011 arctic monkeys.

[mitchqqqqqq]

1:37 gives a handshake on stage. What a boss!

[mitchqqqqqq]
