Arctic Monkeys Reading Festival 2009 full 

update it man

Such a beautiful times 😢

HEARTBREAK HOTEL like the one from piledriver waltz?

Teeeeeesst...

ceiling fans spin really fast

+Godspeed Productions THANK YOU for posting this.

Nosaj xD

+Godspeed Productions You, I like you.

+Godspeed Productions and then the shit hits the fan

Ahahahaj true,lol, only him could do that 😂

Thank you, would’ve missed it otherwise

That, along with the "were gonna leave you now" followed by "lets do a couple more“ made it hands down the best love show ever

Hahahahahah

just after 5 minutes of concert

omg yes so unreal

Best era imo

the best of his voice, the best haircut, the best lives, the best album so it was the best era i guess

Humbug is my favorite AM album, I don’t think it’s a masterpiece or anything, it’s just a very good solid rock album to me

Best era was definitely 2005-2007

Alex was sporting his best hair in the humbug era

***** Aye. I like the newer style too, but this is definitely in it's own league :D

i agree aha, love the greaser look but this much better

In which song does he play the solo? I haven't been able to watch the whole video so far.

Vega This House is a Circus

Andrew Cruz you too

Michael Monks, Yeah Man He's Shit Hot on the Drums!!! But for Me The Whole Band Are Fuckin Class x

Obviously every band member is important but its all about Alex's voice

@@Craigyboi01 and alex compositions

Completely agree, he's an absolute beast, just listening to Brianstorm shows that

The man on your girlfriend’s mind

THIS

@@theeternaltao9036 yea he lives in my head rent free

+mt drunk

He's the one that stayed true to his hair throughout all the eras :')

Just because if its long enough it'll get curly

They all look like triplets and Matt looks like their mom

@@sonammaki im dead o god

@@dream_dealer stayed true to his hair through the eras hahaha now that is funny.

+Charlie O'Brien Like in interviews since the beginning and it never changed. Talking doesn't seem to be his thing...

Alcohol

+Henry Tedds I would agree but that has never been the case

⁠just alcohol 🤥

me, I was 10 but anyways akdjaksjaksks we're late, but better late than never

Poor babies!

I was 18 and there :)

@@Yosh2006 That must've been an amazing experience!

@@andrej8377 Looking back on it, the setlist is great and I enjoyed hearing the new tunes but I can't lie, from MOST people there was something of a feeling of disappointment about the place because Humbug was like three days old at this point so a looottttaaa people didn't know the tunes and were hoping for the energetic kids to come on and tear it up as they had done in years gone by. Still, I really enjoyed it, but I think perhaps they would've won a LOT more of the crowd over if they'd chucked in Mardy Bum near the end, yknow?

+Tim Senna (timontheradio)

+Tim Senna (timontheradio) Ha oh my god that made me laugh so much! xD

+Tim Senna (timontheradio) matt helders is a god... too bad he hasn't got any chance of ripping those drums apart with these new melancholic songs

Zero fucks given

48:24

Spencer Chilo + yep this version is basically my life.

What do we call this version?

@@woltarzen Humbug version

woltarzen it’s like a whole note lower

It has a cover of Dion - only you know within it lol

Dude that song is so overlooked and it's a crime

Agreed

That guitar on the chorus😌

Amazing song on arguably their best album. However, for me Jewellers Hands is their best on Humbug and probably their most underrated.

Secret door in Valencia in that winter concert is my absolute fave live arctic monkeys song

Exactly

if you had 5 essential AM songs, which ones would they be in any order?

@@Red_Dead_Director going from favourite to the best one: 5. do me a favour 4. arabella 3. mardy bum 2. 505 1. crying lightning/pretty visitors (because i can’t choose, they are both so amazing)

@@Red_Dead_Director 1. Star Treatment 2. Fluorescent Adolescent 3. 505 4. My Propeller 5. A Certain Romance

@@Red_Dead_Director Mardy Bum A Certain Romance My Propeller/Dance Little Liar Fluorescent Adolescent/505 Piledriver Waltz/Love is a laserquest

totally agree

Yes he sounds so amazing here. I want him to go back to singing like this.

TRNSMT 2018 was pretty good and the crowd was insane. 505 gets better every time he sings it though

Reading fest 2014 I think

His range/pitch got better

He still does, even at Glastonbury :)

yeah i saw that but at some gigs he was a shirt and jeans and i prefer his black keys t shirt and joggers

ciao

Totally agree x2

Up until recently

Glasto 2013

@@samtaylor7981 glasto 2013 is obviously special but the humbug era was the peak of alex's voice for their sound. better vocalist now but this voice is just so perfect

@@xSweeeD agree 2013 until now its to heavy his voice, 2006-2009 sweet voice

What its this song?¡

jorge vazquez uribe "only you know" but i can't remember who wrote it

Thanks Bro :3

Zaki Manan Dion 'only you know'

Thanks

1:07:54 Only You Know - Dion

Irving Medellin n

What's the song at 0:00

home

they just don’t get it like we do

I honestly feel like the majority of Arctic Monkey fans (not the tumbler wannabes) like Humbug the most...

I like Suck it and see era aswell, and today's TBHC, because I loved the album - don't know about the other fans, but I enjoyed it. And yes FWN and Humbug's their best albums

@crab fuck Fag exactly

yes it was good, but dude, Suck it and see and TBHandC are good albums to

3/4 of the comments are bout his changing or hair

Carson Graef fucking true.

yes, and that they brought miles to play 505

100%, Dance Little Liar is class

I say this as a huge Arctic Monkeys fan, who was at this show, and liked humbug.... it was a really poor setlist, for the time and place. The album was out for less than a week, and this was a Saturday night festival headline set. Nobody knew the new songs and it really flattened the crowd after a storming set by the Prodigy. Something which the band themselves have since acknowledged that they got wrong.

Mark Millar yeah I thought that there were far too many humbug songs given how new the album was (and that humbug isn’t really that great for festival music imo), maybe this explains why they only played a couple of AM songs at glasto in 2013

what time stamp

@@ashlynscott6883 I dont know if he still have the time after 9 years

@@selis2262 ok gabriel sells

19:35

Both great, but you forgot "Whatever People Say That's What I'm Not"

Haha yeah I love it a lot to but it's my least favorite out of all their albums. XD

No

every era of them is good, because they are never the same, i mean maybe the first 2 albums are closed in the sound, but then in every album is a diferent sound, that make every album iconic and that means that every era is good

I love that ‘umbug music but wpsiatwin is my favourite

MarryJewana hahahaha

Hahahahah

lol

Paulina Aguirre yeah, masterpiece

Paulina Aguirre yeppp

que buenos gustos paulina ;)

Paulina Aguirre For sure!!!

maybe not ever, but their best album for sure

One of my favourite songs by them

For comfort as he's doing a lot of fast paced leg work on the kick and hi hat. Also just generally comfier as well i imagine. Still looks like a badass.

And sipping some beer from time to time...

omg what a description

^ This person fucking gets it.

Soooo true

Hans Landa This and T in the Park 2011 are hands down their best gigs

You forgot at The Apollo.. Im not feeling this one or the one at 2013 at Glastonbury.. At The Apollo and Glastonbury 2007 is at their best.

You guys should check TRNSMT 2018

I think he is. Went to the last concert in AM Tour and his hair was pretty long

I really hope so, his hair was great in 2009. Lately his hair had been getting pretty long and strands fall down either side of his face and it looks very 90s but it's good

I quite liked it in like the 2012ish era. Same style as now, but quite a bit shorter. His long sheepdog hair is cute tho. :)

love his long hair too

I miss the long hair

They're better than the beatlezzzzz nah jk

@@sebas288 no joke fr

true that

I already am mate. They’ve gone so downhill it’s unbelievable

@@thatsmetalasfuck2200 theyve gotten better

Yeah, it happens with most of their songs though. So many good songs, that probably wont be played live back again...

IKRR

ikr it's a song that i would die to hear live

😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

who cares lol. it’s their concert and if they want to have drink they can. he still performed and was incredible so there’s nothing wrong

lmao don't lie to yourself, no one likes their "new style", they suck now compared to how they used to be. At least the only people I have seen saying they liked it are girls who think Alex is hot and will say whatever. Their music now is boring AF and it's basically just Alex trying to be a lame solo act as some kind of cheesed out 70s singer. I didn't even mind "Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino", it was actually a pretty fun album, as a once-off concept type thing, it certainly grew on me. At least there were songs on there that had guitar and were catchy. But "The Car"? Hell no, talk about a pile of dog crap, was shocked that a band like the Monkeys would put out something that subpar. Really hope that they see the light and get back in the studio with Josh Homme again and make some magic, the world needs it, and so does the band, desperately.

I completely agree with you, and your words reminds me a line from Amy W. "His message was brutal, but the delivery was kind" ❤

9 years later, you're lucky... he doesn't sing in the right tempo anymore and they admittedly went downhill after AM... I wish I could've seen them back in 2014

@@R_A_ASMRdownhill after AM? 😂 their last two albums are better than AM.

@@pabloecoli whoa... I love tranquility base and the car, but they're no match for the first albums

@@R_A_ASMR i said better than AM not better than their first albums

@@pabloecoli ah... am specifically

The way he uses his effects is remarkable ...he has so many many pedals yet he handles them ok and sounds exactly like the studio versio

Did you not see the crowd??? SHOES were being thrown for Humbug songs you blind?

+Yusoff M i actually really liked it

fluorescent adolescent is beautiful in every version

I really liked the KEXP acoustic session version more. It's very melancholic

yeah shame that they are no longer the same band anymore

Ever since Shrek left

You my friend just won youtube congratulations

For like 4 years he started when he died and was revived and he wanted to pick up a bass forever so he did and he ran across alex and matt and jamie in Sheffield trying to buy a bass they saw that he was a good player and they played together and bam Anakin Skywalker Became the bassist for the Ehrctic Monks

what are you talking about, anakin is clearly the one singing

bojack!

I'm pretty sure they picked a bunch of there darker songs to fit the humbug vibe

Awkward Liberty This is the favourite worst nightmare era though

Its when humbug came out. And favourite worst nightmare was 2007

Fluorescent adolescent is from favourite worst nightmare what are you talking about

Oh I thought you meant this show

Someone sounds pissed lol

Deadandr3 I knew it ... it's sad to know that the band will not return to what it was before, at least for me... :/ Sorry for my bad english D:

***** Its not business... Really, Alex would have Justin Biebers haircut, all swaggy and shit.

Deadandr3 That is the dumbest shit i've heard, that you're clearly desperate to believe. If you haven't noticed his image has changed with every single album, from scrappy sheffield lads to farmer/village boys, to mysterious/abstract men, to 50s greaser fashion, to ultra slick men. The whole basis of suck it and see/AM is 50s/70s theme that is modernised and the haircut is just a part of it.

Murat Heleteli Exactly. Its not just about Alex, its about the whole band. Accept it, AM just do it so well to target teenagers

+Guilherme de Oliveira Costa what the shit happens to you in every álbum Alex is getting older its 29 years old his new haircut was a for himself not for anyone else

+Alex OMalley Agree...

it's what

if you like Arctic Monkeys you should check out Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watchtower, it gives me Arctic Monkeys vibes and its a great take on a classic song

crazy, but then you realise that every album since then has been the most sold and profitable rock album of the year. With Favourite Worst Nightmare, Humbug, Suck It And See, AM, TBHC, all being the number one albums of the year in the UK with Suck It And See, AM, TBHC all being successes in the USA too. Their last album was the second best album of 2022, but narrowly behind Taylor Swift (who's considered one of the best artists of all time)... It's mad how a boy who got a guitar for christmas would be a lead singer for one of the mist successful bands of all time and most certainly one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Every album theyve released have been massive hits.

@@bill4665 without album 1s success they don’t go on to have the sales of some of the later albums. Same with oasis after their first 2.5 albums

@@04mdsimps yeah ik. but theres no denying that Arctic Monleys got better. A prime example of this is what theyre doing now. They went from indie rock, to a more defined indie rock, to a heavy rock in humbug, to pop rock in suck it and see, to modern rock in AM that was so good it revitalised rock itself. to knowing they didnt need more money, so they started making what they wanted rather than being obsessed with reviews. Whatever People Say I Am Thats Whay I'm Not will always be great, hell my best and favourite memories are from that album, but you cant deny that they're music making ability and songs got bettter afterwards. And the sales show that. Crying Lightning is still one of their best songs, so is Do I Wanna Know. Theyre both amazing pieces of work and some of their best bcs theyre such difficult tunes to sing to, they mean a lot of the time theyre singing while playing complicated riffs but they do it so well, those songs also allow them to develop and insert new pieces into them while playing live. Body Paint, Mirrorball, and Sculptures are undoubtedly the best sings theyve made. They're not my favourites but i still love them bcs theyre so well made. Theyve got such a defined and brilliant sound now, and Alex Turner's lyric writing got better. Alex even said he doesnt like playing Dancefloor bcs its lyrics are repetitive and same-y. Theyve developed and are objectively better than they were in 2006.We all have our favourites, and thats why theyre so great. They change up theyre sound every album. But objectively theyre a lot better than they were in 2006. And theres no denying it. Even if 2006 hadnt have been as great, they still wouldve improved and been a good rock band, they just wouldnt have broke America as quickly if at all.

@@bill4665WPSIAIWIN is my fav AM album, but I agree with ypu, it isn’t their best musically 😊

Do me a favour and listen to something else

same!!!!!
