Arctic Monkeys - Do Me A Favour - Live at Reading Festival 2009 [HD]

[GregWard118]

perhaps fuck off might be too kind

[FirstBass1825]

@HullaTia

I know that he wrote it after he broke up with his girlfriend

[ZerGiOX]

Puta ke me gusta este tema.... parece ke siempre si tendré ke ir a verlos al Lollapalooza... ¬¬

[HullaTia]

Could you guys please tell me, what this song is about...?

(Because my English is just not good enough to understand AM lyrics...:D)

Thanks a lot.

[MsRandomUniverse]

@HullaTia google it

[000Z9A]

do me a favour and break my nose..

omfg awesome lyrics...

[BeanzWarrior]

the lyrics 'perhaps fuck off might be too kind' are just too cool :D xD

[KuronoPunto]

The after breakup song? /:

[AndyPateman1]

these boys are always welcome in my home town of Reading

[chchchcherrybomb37]

Do you know where I could download this video?

[crackoish]

@chchchcherrybomb37 free youtube to mp3 converter ??

[chchchcherrybomb37]

@crackoish I know I do that for audio, not the actual video itself, because for some reason gifsoup doesn't accept this video, I think that means it's not downloadable.

[RosarioNahu]

the strokes are cool definitely but they always kept the same ideas, the last album was a bit different but for example, 'Whatever People Say I'm That's What I'm Not' and 'Suck it And See' are really different. You may not like either one or the other, but the point is that a band has to change and improve their music because that's basically music. Not like AC/DC that kept doing E G D A all the time....

[laurietrueman505]

Alexs hair was beautiful here.

[DemyKCTMcFlyelele]

John fucked it up with the piano (its just don't sound with this),

[Yoooern]

I cant decide whats better, Arctic Monkeys or The Strokes. They are both so great, so is this song :D One of my favourites :)

[ellenripley71]

I love this song!!

[Neilwadders]

Alex is a top lad... But what was he thinking with that hair!

[COLI8MA]

good lyric of this song. BRILLIANT

[MatzahBri]

I cant wait for itunes, i hope they play this :)

[victorpuentedura]

Who are these 2 jackasses?

[raem94]

@victorpuentedura Well you're one of them....

[victorpuentedura]

@raem94 Ok, but who's the other?

[raem94]

@victorpuentedura you are.... your jackass-ness is double that of a normal jackass, so it counts as two.

[victorpuentedura]

@raem94 I thought you were but if you say so... Anyway this has nothing to do with the song (which is great!) so let's stop it.

[raem94]

@victorpuentedura Fair enough, for the record this is one of my favourite arctic's songs :)

[fred220797]

Arctic Monkeys make the Strokes look like shit

[strokemonkeys1]

Alex hair looks really stupid he cant pull it off like Julian

[helderdje]

@strokemonkeys1 I think it's kinda cute..

[PattleProductions]

@strokemonkeys1 its nothing like Julian's

[strokemonkeys1]

@PattleProductions im not hating on him he just tring to make himself look like julian casablancas to hard

[PattleProductions]

@strokemonkeys1 i dont think he is... maybe the jacket, but not the hair

[strokemonkeys1]

@PattleProductions well it doesnt matter he just trying to look lik,e 1 of his heros

[PattleProductions]

@strokemonkeys1 maybe

[2happy4emo]

This is coming from a girl that thinks Alex is adorable, as are Matt and Jamie and Nick. I get giddy and giggly over how cute they are. In short, I am a fangirl. Sickeningly so. But this is getting too much for even this fangirl to take.

Shut up about the length of their hair. Shut up about how cute they are or how much you want to have their babies or how you prefer the old AM because they maintained short hair.

Shut up about their looks and enjoy the music. This band is making history.

[nickjb01]

@2happy4emo Thank fuck someone has said that...

[BloodyMemy21]

alex must cut his hair!



[Slizi108]

@BloodyMemy21 lol but it was so perfect this way :(

[AlbertoD41]

AGHHHHHHHHHH Alex Kills me at 2:00 - 2:14

[nath1LiNk]

I love the drumming all the way through. matt is god

[nath1LiNk]

I love the drumming all the way through. amazing record.

[AVAFANATIC27]

It seems like Alex tries to act like hes so cool nowadays instead of before when he was just himself and whats up with the stupid keyboardist that part is supposed to be heavy distortion on guitar.

[BonJ2211]

@AVAFANATIC27 He's changed (for the better) and so has this song. It sounds more controlled and more personal whereas Alex is no longer a kid. He's a man.

[f4frodojerry]

Such a shame.. must listen this song live

I mean.. you have to be there with these guys..

these live version on youtube..none of them were better than the studio version...

Such a shame.. such a epic song from a epic band

[elefantkaputt]

how he rolled his eyes at 2:12 gave me goosebumps :O

[933Bane]

@juve9188 Well,he kinda lost that funny middle class accent which made his singing unique.This is still good but I preferred his earlier preformances of this song than this one.

[Renegademaster15]

@juve9188 He clearly does sing this differently from how they used to do this, he's a better singer then he was live before (he's always sounded a bit strange live compared to the recordings)

However they've totally lost the energy of the song here, it's a lot slower and less involved

I saw them during 2009 at Leeds Festival, and they were the most disappointing headliner I've ever seen by a long shot, they were ten times better at Glasto in 2007

[ninjainscrubs]

@Renegademaster15 Kinda agreed with you all the way until the last paragraph. I don't think they were much better if any at Glasto. They were certainly more energetic but like you said Alex did sound a bit off live back then. Here he sounds much more refined and consistent. They haven't got the energy they used to have but now they've got cool little segments here and there, random improvisations and an air of mystery. I much prefer them like this.

[Renegademaster15]

@ninjainscrubs I actually saw both of these performances though, did you?

[decade03]

his voice is a fucking james bond novel. I love it

[shortcuts18]

check out our cover of do me a favour! thank you! ;)

[HiThereImKester]

Don't know about you guys but all I care about is the music and these guys are fantastic

[Tatina6]

some energy plz

[yobigfatmama99]

hahahahahaha 2:09 JIZZ!!!!!!

[933Bane]

God,I probably will never like Arctic Monkeys as I used too.This new voice of his kind of makes me sick.It's ok on the Humbug songs,but on old ones like this...It's sad.

[robert06875]

ALEX TURNER NEW BRITH ROCK STILL.. AND THE GREAT VOICE!!!!!

[powercard10]

something you guys haven't noticed yet. they bring a lot more 'soul' to their songs and live performances. you can even tell by the change in their lyrics (and the way alex sings of course). we can't actually complain for their changes. it's all the audience around the world that the band can complain. today's music much more into fame thing without the soul of the true music itself. this is true music.

[saborizatee]

I think they sound great now, and all, I love Humbug but... Do me a favour and play with the energy you used to play, like in Glastonbury 2007. That energy is what I miss about them.

[Peeto87]

Doesn't have the same punch as the album version

[oiergasdn]

someone else noted?

Alex's voice has changed... It's more boring now... In the past years it had more energy... It was more "happy"

i don't know... I might be crazy 'bout this. But i'm pretty sure that it's not the same.

[ReasonForThat]

@oiergasdn just matured, I think?

[Thedeadraconstripes]

@oiergasdn I noticed...its just the album i think and hope

[ninjainscrubs]

@oiergasdn Boring? It's better. His voice before was more energetic and raw but it didn't always sound great, especially live. At Glasto 07 his voice didn't resemble the voice on their records. He's more consistent now and singing in a different way to fit the new songs. Something a bit more like his old voice would probably be better for the older songs though. I want A Certain Romance and Mardy Bum back :(

[oiergasdn]

@ninjainscrubs Yeah, I got that. Crying Lightning sound perfect live. And I thought Alex was awesome in Glastonbury. I love that energy in his voice. Man, I'd kill for listen to Mardy Bum when they come back.

[northeasthaza]

snare drum is a tad too quiet, but cant knock the performance, the playing was awesome!

[Hibrnaldo]

pretty epic

[iplaytheguitar73]

damn you guys are my people hahah i agree with like every comment

[THECLAYSTER]

Ultimate tour = Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes.

Am I right?

[dasupasquirrel]

@THECLAYSTER damn right man, I wouldnt care selling myself to go to that concert

[10stokesy]

@THECLAYSTER Without a shaddow of a doubt ;) If chilli peppers got thrown into that mix id happily die afterwards! but yes....monkeys and strokes are the Ultimate

[Peeto87]

You can't say that these blokes are better than The Strokes. The Strokes are pure genius.

[10stokesy]

@Peeto87 You can mate. Because I'd describe Both bands as pure genius. Absolute incredible genius !

[davidschipper]

one of the best songs ever made

[TheSchoolsux345]

no need to compare ANY bands. someone will always disagree.

[ejvols4]

I think we can all agree that both Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes kick ass!

[devaneypeter]

it doesnt get any better than 2.35 onwards

[Garjun]

I just love how humble they are compared to other bands that are like "yeah, we're on the fookin' top of the world. Our band are the best band since Oasis".. or some shit like that.

The Arctic Monkeys are just lads from down the road who are like "let's make some good tunes, stay clear of the press and make friends with P Diddy". That's why I love them.

[0RckNRoll0]

arctic monkeys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[AMASFGILT]

The only original band member is matt, i agree with bowyer56 it is too weak

[redhockeycab]

@AMASFGILT yeah and jamie and alex.

[whodonaldwhat]

i think the keyboard ruins some of the old songs

[ElementalNiobe]

What a shitty cameraman! He focused on the stupid crowd instead of focusing on Alex's guitar solo at the end! OMFGOOOOOOOOD! What's wrong with those people? :@

[bowyer56]

god i fucking hate turners new singing style. i mean im all for changing the sound of the band, but he just sounds so weak now

[KalB971]

@bowyer56

I wouldn't say that "i fucking hate" it but, yeah it's weak on the old song but great the old ones ... If only he could switch to the old voice some times ...

[jughfreind]

such a perfect theme

[TheWastedYouth1]

the strokes were one of the bands that inspired Arctic monkeys but to be honest i think that Arctic Monkeys have become a bigger and better band than the strokes.

[MrThepainters]

@TheWastedYouth1 I hope you're kidding!!

[StevieCampbell1]

@TheWastedYouth1 are u jokin!! arctic monkeys are good but the strokes are so mcuh better

[TheJelly1990]

@TheWastedYouth1 damn man . you ought to have your own opinion but i dont know , i cant seem to accept this one opinion . i mean the song writing and guitar arrangement there are so much better for the Strokes . if it will be any list of great bands , Arctic monkeys will be only just few numbers down from The Strokes .

[HoosiersForever]

@TheWastedYouth1 No they're not, you said that just because the Strokes are making a new album and arent in concert, I think the Strokes are bigger than Arctic monkeys but dont get me wrong Im a hudge fan of Arctic monkeys too

[Rjimppy]

@TheWastedYouth1 It's because 1) Indie/Alternative Rock isn't anywhere near as popular as it is here as it is in the US 2) Arctic Monkeys really were shot into stardom because of the internet and youtube while The strokes came a few years before that really took off and so never really had that 3) It's a lot harder to set yourself up in the US as a good band than it is in the UK

[JaycobboBoatman]

@TheWastedYouth1

how dare you

[jgv6661962]

@TheWastedYouth1

Haha hell no. I love arctic monkeys but you can't compare both the strokes and the arctic monkeys. They are both legends and you have no right to say one is better than the other.

[The4kid4]

@jgv6661962 a little bit yeah but am is bigger stilldont get me wrong though the strokes is still unreal

[jans0arctic]

@TheWastedYouth1 No doubt about that.

[Srego531]

absolutely perfect.

[pana619]

man these guys are probably the coolest band in the world at the moment .....untill the strokes come back haha

[5hits2009]

@pana619 in the world full stop. better and cooler than the strokes. im not arguing im stating.

[ROBUTT009]

@pana619 Their not stopping Arctic Monkeys momentum anytime soon man. We will see whos new album better?

[allwecreateandestroy]

@pana619 Hahhaa good prediction

[ijw2009]

@pana619 Given that the Strokes new album is so terrible, do you regret this one?

[Axoryzel]

@pana619

probably the lamest comment on youtube ?

[irena2009]

i'm melting :(

[Elgrisdegrote]

Brilliant
