NME Video: Arctic Monkeys at the Shockwaves NME Awards 2008

[themoodymarine]

actually i think alex is a mix between a goose(big eyes) and harry potter

[Camtohe]

Alex no contact. He's only looking around or staring at one point ;D

[causebowtiesarecool]

3:53 i thought matt and alex were gonna kiss

[JLBlondies]

THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH hahahaha!

[Rudog47]

And It's never one or the other... It's always BOTH. :D MATT!!!

[pepijnn7]

would be funny if alex turner played harry potter

[coolbean08]

what does alex say at 3:37? is it "or both"?

[laneylikewhoa]

This is the band looking its best--hair wise.

[ScarlettStreet]

"Who would you punch or snog, or at the same time "

[kawaiipanda24]

Oh wow, I just watched the Muse version of this interview. I didn't realize the questions were exactly the same until the "punch or snog" one. Very different :P

[kawaiipanda24]

I love how the interviewers never have any idea what they're talking about xD

[DewyRosie]

well ok, but very little =)

[DewyRosie]

haha Nick never says anything in the interviews.

[anothersunnyday]

[sicralfe]

"I don't want to punch anyone, unless it's ABSOLUTELY necessary" :P

[dancingshoesx505]

most overrated band is either Oasis or Kasabian by a mile.

[lennnnnyyyyy]

nick and jamie are a bit quiet?

[MorphineSmile]

ash tray :D luvs the accent. They're adorable.

[Laurabug123]

Mm, I know, right?

Sometimes they're kind of hard to understand.

Seeing as I'm American and all.

And dumb, I guess (;

[Bluuah]

[KHDMCX]

[Pemmsan]

[friendsorenemies1234]

[Supaduck0]

[morelsy]

Matt did some speed? :D Talks so fast and look at his jaw.

[IndiePrincess94]

i think he's chewing gum..

:P

[01stursa]

3.53 alex looks like he stops the other guy from answering the punch snog question.

[ninin00]

I ♥ NICK

[only1joe4life]

its never one or the other its always both hahah

[milkdudrct3]

i think jamie is the best looking. and he has nice hair. But his voice is so small! It makes me laugh.

[arcticpuppet505]

he talks like a duck and he laughs like a dolphin :S but he's still very cute

[xDirtyLittleHerbitx]

Yum!

[framboisexx]

matt helders - drummming god!!

[Bari77]

i wouldnt say it is good i would say its brilliant!

[covo6624]

he said god not good

[AvrilROCKSLavigne]

Alex is so cute (:

[assiach]

sorry the camera wasnt once on nick.

[assiach]

although i do adore alex, nick and jamie - the camera wasnt once on matt, although he didnt speak much (or at all ) i think he also just deserves the credit of having the camera on him for a bit, just my thought

[thebandiscalledgay]

ashtray saskia - only a band like the monkey's would remember something like that-brilliant

[XxevelxXyn]

For wich video have they got the award?

[Stereobulletband]

Teddy Picker

[babjjb]

I think Jamie has the best attitude about things like this. Even if he doesn't like award shows, he deals with it anyway. Just my observation, though.

Can't wait for the next album. :)

[friendsorenemies1234]

true:)

[arctic90monkey]

Nick is drunk...

[Bluuah]

yeeaa! hahah. he looks still great thought.

[nookabadooka]

erm funny story oh no its not haha

[RichTea18]

their attitude and expression reminds me of school children not getting ther own way

[CatsAndRabbits]

the final joke about kissing/punching is so clever and adorable...typical arctic monkeys..."which is strange because that's usually you're waking thought"

[rhcpluvr7]

i think jamie and alex are the best

[indierock15]

arctic monkeys is big

[founded1988]

I think they're kinda rude too it's probably because they clearly don't want the awards. They make music because they enjoy making music and because they want the fans to enjoy listening to the music; not so people can make money out of printing bollocks about who they'd want to "punch or snog" or so people can discuss on youtube which one of them's fittest.

[wonbinhs]

they are kinda rude

[IndieSoup]

Nick is rather tasty

[domeafavour01]

consistancy.

frothing cynicysm.

i love matt helders.

[blondie71717]

i Love Alex (L)

[jitterbuggg8]

Oh my golly alex is gorgeous.

[wonbinhs]

btw i have to say this they have to make their third album as fast as they can. alex has to realize he is in arctic monkeys not that fucking last shadow puppets

[TopshopPrincess5]

i love alex!

[ArcticBabe13]

i love em

theyre all quite fit

but matt and alex r the best

[MushroomCadillac]

alex alex alex!!

[PowerRangerMegaTent]

i love matt =0

[Velentrin]

Yeah,but as long as they've got awesooome music,nobody cares who exactly entwines arms with him. = D

I adore their music and this modesty they've been keeping with...they're simply geniuses.

[Dofoar]

I'm gonna lose my consciousness right this instant!!!Ppl,he's bought a house with that Chung!!Dammit...she's such a fake...

I'm not fond of gossip,but don't argue the point:she's a fake,which is shrouded with smoke.

[cerealbuddy]

EFF! al turner is the sexiest man ive ever seen... :D

lolz. "usually that's his waking thought."

[poepmongool]

Can't say I find him hot, I respect him alot though

[poepmongool]

Can't say I find him hot, I respect him alot though

[poepmongool]

Can't say I find him hot, I respect him alot though

[J3J3]

alex fucking turner is fucking sexy! fuck fuck fuck it's not fair

[moviesmusic47]

Hell yes!!

[A2THEMY]

I love them all Alex Turner is H-O-T-T

[aimeebaines]

lol "awkwaaaaaaaaaard" XP

[sethbrody]

freeze at 03:54min. havin a little gay moment there...

[919099364]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH­...WELL THOUGHT.ahahaha even gay they look cute...ahahhhaa i wish i could be between them ahahaha. but of course, thy are not gay...look at alex and alexa...the perfect pair...kiss kiss

[sethbrody]

alex and alexa, like paris and paris hilton

[MushroomCadillac]

but alex is cool, paris isn't.

[pirateslife4me865]

hahahaha

thats soooo funnyyy!!!!

[chilltrasher]

this band is great!!!!:]

[carrotsandroses]

Okay, let's not compare Muse and Arctic Monkeys. they're both great, my two favorite bands, and thye're both good in thier own way. Like Muse, and especially Matt Bellamy, are extremely talented, but I absolutely adore the Arctic Monkeys because they just know how to make really good music. They play different styles of music, and they both do thier own thing. No need for comparison.

[davor1408]

they are the only good thing except football of course in England

[NorthLimitation]

Why is everyone obsessed with comparing Muse and the Arctic Monkeys? They're both great and both having particuliar talents. They will both go down in history.

[CyrusGuitar]

dont really like them, its kinda music for simpletons.

[dirtydancinglover200]

why are people slagging them off ? not being funny but arctic monkeys deserve there awards cuz there fucking amazing dont like them do watch the video simple as

[anyhighanyhigh]

Ahhh they werent as pathetic as they were at the grammys! muse are way better, matt bellamy was born with an extra vocal chord...and he's an amazing pianist/classicly trained...he could do better pitching with his voice than this band could do with guitars. And these can't develop a song like muse haha thats a joke, they wouldnt know diatonic or exotic scales and progressions if it hit them in the shape of a music book... And don't try and insult cause im not coming back on this page again

[qotsa111]

not going to insult and i know you wont come back and all but like you couldve kept that to yourself.... i mean this is a fan video and everyone wants to put something positive on...fair enough you reckon muse is good but like you dont have to tell the rest of the world about it cause like.....we kind of dont give a shit

[elliotwmiller]

what makes me laugh is, he slags them off and yet he still watches them receiving awards? whats the point of trying to argue a point when you leaving a comment is a statement of stupidity in itself? Muse are shit, they had one good album, being their frist then matt bellamy became just matt bell. theyre shit, your opinion isn't Valued, in life or on this page, go and choke on carbon monoxide.

[anyhighanyhigh]

Haha, my point didnt want to be valued by you, I was only watching them because I was discussing how cocky they are for no good reason...I wish I didnt feel the need to reply, but you're so clever for realising you can turn Bellamy into Bell. Also, you can't make a point based on an opinion!! You've dismissed any fact ive given just because you think "muse are shit"...thats the statement of stupidity- Did you pass any exams? Just reply to my inbox.

[tiedemannsroed]

thought you said you woulden't come back on this page again, but you just had to come back and check the answers. proves you just wanted to argue over something random

[rossmorris]

I agree with what he says.... which is probably why the two bands sound NOTHING alike and are completely different genres of music and miles appart from each other! so ye!

you cant compare Music and the Arctic Monkeys! .. and the Monkeys are better!

[NorthLimitation]

Define "better".

"you cant compare Music and the Arctic Monkeys!" - "the Monkeys are better! "

Beautiful hypocrisy.

[revolutionpunk]

son la ley,, they rock..!

[hmNy13]

this is the result of being the most hyped band of the last two years and always being in the spotlight winning awards

reminds me of bob dylan somewhat

[Roonilwazlibpotter]

How can anybody slate matthew bellamys voice?

It is the best instrument out there.

How can he play guitar like genius but it sounds shit? Legends they are.

Arctic monkeys Better than muse on the creativity side?

No way. muse are one of the most creative bands around, their not afraid to try out new effects

Monkeys sound like any other indie band around.

The onlyband you could actually compare to muse with their style is Radiohead, and even then there is a huge differance.

[elliotwmiller]

AHAHAH Jesus, i thought the above comment was bad but you take the bisquit, your a fucking tard, serisouly, Muse havn't got shit on radiohead, radiohead were around before muse aswell, and muse, as a result meerly copy off radiohead. Radiohead are one of the greatest bands of all time, and OK Computer is arguably the best album of all time. Not my opinion either, but that of multiple knowledgable sources, like that of Q magazine.

[NorthLimitation]

Lol, Q magazine. O what's that fading away into the distance? Oh yes, it's the influence and relevant opinion of Q. But really, Muse don't really copy Radiohead, that's not very fair. I'm a massive Radiohead, Artic Monkeys and Muse fan, but I don't think Radiohead have ever done Flamenco music, or Arpeggiated synth, or piano cadenzas, but correct me if I'm wrong :). Three great bands, three of the biggest, and I don't think that they really care who of them people on Youtube think is better :/

[stunnaonflyrims]

I second that!

[starrbizarre]

dull as feck, make an effort lads this is going out to the fans who want glimps of you outside your music? ...Still Tracks are so electric and i still spill splurges of energy everytime i hear A Certain Romance, Ur a true blessing Arctic MOnkeys.

[oasisfancortes]

Muse & the Arctic Monkeys....hm.....I prefer the Monkeys. Yes Muse has some good tunes but creatively, i think Monkeys are better. They're like Blur, but more modern and not too 'Gorillaz'

[caltheblade1889]

matt helders legendary status, and anyone who thinks muse even come near actics should be shot on site, matt bellamy is nothin but a high pitched twat, fair play he plays guitar like a genius but it sounds shit how he plays. arctics wipe the floor with most bands around at the minute

[LoveableJoe]

That intereview is a right laugh. The Arctic Monkeys don't give a shit about what the Interviewer is saying, and whatever they do say, the Interviewer wont give a shit and asks the same questions he does with everyone else.

classic

[goaldemon08]

yeah because the comment link on my computer is fucked, and why you talking bout Iraq?

[25144859]

Over rated bullshit. just another band thats ok to like. U teeny boppers need to get a grip

[shel8777]

Its plain to see that Alex and the boys don't give two fucks about these shit award shows, Its all about THE MUSIC-And that's what I like about them. They write GOOD fucking songs man, They are the JAM of thier generation. As for the birds, they come and go you will always find a bird that wants to shag ya....

[shel8777]

And stop being a jealous cunt!!!! You know dam well they ROCK!!!

[thesephers]

teeny boppers? prick. innovation

[25144859]

yeh teeny boppers u bell end. they are shit

[thesephers]

listen to the album, its betr than most of the shite thats out ther, one of the best lyricists arond

[goaldemon08]

record sales, awards theyve won and successful tours speak for themself mate, everyone is entitled to their opinion and if you think they are crap then thats you, but you are in a very small minority.

Arctic Cocks

[Roonilwazlibpotter]

sheffield (Y)

muse should have won best band though

[shunt24]

nope ur wrong

[090toMMYbOy678]

Yeah, muse own artic monkeys.

[webby69er]

who the fuk gave tht interview how shit ws he, he dont half like waving that microphone about the twat. monkeys jus havin a cas nice

[moyce789]

I doubt they are though

[moyce789]

they really appear as if there on cocain with all the gurning and sniffing...

[cassiusXisXover]

is it me or is he ALWAYZ (seriously) chewing gum?!?

[ultraCDZ]

if someone doesnt even like ONE song by the arctic monkeys, he or she deserves to be shot

[mole3691]

agreed

[TheClayLord]

How did that video win?!? its just them singing in a recording studio, its so unoriginal, and when compared to justice's and bloc party's it looks terrible. not that they are a bad band though.

[BritishRulez]

I really really like them but you're absolutely right.. guess people just like seeing them in a pub or something..

[PookiesFR]

Arctic Monkeys have nothing like Block Party. On top of that, I signal you that Justice, compared with Daft Punk, or with Soulwax, or even sebastiAn and mstrkrft, they make better (And yes, the small Parisian trails along in the concerts of french touch). On top of that they are nice, but they eat a lot and smoke during their live...The words of Arctic Monkeys are very deep, and instrumental level they are very strong. They are also discreet and modest, and this, it is not given to everybody.

[andreas2ridiculous4u]

If Florescent Adolescent would have been nominated for best video then I could see them winning more fairly, but Teddy Picker did not deserve it. DANCE was a lot better and original.

[lagman50]

i think people like to see that even though they are such big stars they are still normal people

[myxamhatosis]

Yeah,indeed!

[lagman50]

i think people like to see that even though they are such big stars they are still normal people

[kristoffer25]

Yeah, indeed!

[harryspoonpotter]

interviewer: who would you punch or kiss?

arctic monkeys: It's wasn't my first thought today (you're a fucking retard. what a stupid question)

interviewer: how does it feel?

arctic monkeys: Consistent!

i luv those boys. so funny.

[ianbrownshairdo]

ah the joys of good old cocaine.

[phillmo182]

great band but fucking boring interview
