The Last Shadow Puppets - The Age Of The Understatement (Official Video) 

Alex Turner sitting on the back of a T-80 in a tank battalion with a choir of Russian officers is what i needed in life

"John and Paul raid the U.S.S.R." (Circa 1964, colorized.)

This whole video was just a ruse for Alex to get to sit on a tank for a day

Alex and Miles kind of look like Beatles in this one.

OMGEEE SUCH BABIES COMPARED TO THEIR RECENT ITALIAN DAD LOOKS

TLSP didn't get the popularity they deserve

i feel like im riding a horse

Шёл 2020 год, устроилась на работу и теперь каждый день дефилирую по станции Маяковская как Тёртый и Конь :D

its crazy that no matter how many years pass, I always come back to the LSP songs.

I like a lot the part when Alex and Miles walk together.

Imagine being a Russian soldier who's guarding the border and suddenly you start hearing a song straight out of a western and watch two dudes who look like the Beatles sitting on a tank who's leading an entire platoon of tanks driving in your direction😂

Damn the budget for this video must have been really high

Every time when I'm on this metro station I'm listening this perfect song! After 10 years it's still awesome!! So glad they've made their video in Moscow

Alex and Miles both have epic voices, are very attractive, and their voices meld together so perfectly.

Like you are listening this before the WWIII

"We don't wanna be known as the tank band"

gonna tell my kids this was The Beatles

Why do I feel like I'm watching a John Lennon and Paul McCartney reunion?? Though the song doesn't really have a Beatles-y vibe. Alex and Miles just look like them lmao

Как гордо распирает порой от мысли, что это мой хомтаун

No one: Alex: Let's start off with a peaceful Zamboni and then bring in a shit ton of tanks. Miles: Yeah and let's ride on them too. Alex: Hell yeah. And then we'll end it with a choir of Russian Officers. Miles: Word

I have been trying to find this video for the last 16 years. I first saw it while deployed to Baghdad Iraq in 2008. It was one of the songs always playing on the European MTV channel we had. My life is complete .

Пока есть такие ребята - рок-н-ролл будет жить.

Маяковская! Всегда знала, что это самая фотогеничная станция метро у нас.

after Miracle Aligner video russia regrets have let them do this video

Vladimir Putin liked this

I love how Miles and Alex walk together .like a gang ready for troubles

Producer: So what do you want in the video Alex and Miles: Cold and Tanks

Wish Miles and Alex would bring out another album as The Last Shadow Puppets, they make magic together!

This is some James Bond shit here m8

Decided to sneak off Away from your stomach and try your pulse You captured what seemed all unknowing and candid But they suspected it was false Shes playful, the boring would warn you Be careful of her brigade In order to tame this relentless marauder Move away from the parade She was walking on the tables in the glasshouse And verily bedraggled in the wind Subtle in her method of seduction Twenty little tragedies begin And she would throw a feather boa in the road If she thought that it would set the scene Unfittingly dipped into your companions Enlightened them to make you see And theres affection to end The age of the understatement Before the attraction ferments Kiss me properly and pull me apart Affection to rent The age of the understatement Before this attraction ferments Kiss me properly and pull me apart And my fingers scratch at my hair Before my mind can get too reckless The idea of seeing you here Is enough to make the sweat go cold

John Lennon, Paul Mc.Cartney, Diomitri Tiomkin & Jean Luc Goddard must be really proud of their legacy, this band blend'em in such delicate and virtous way altogether, longue vie par free british cinema et la nouvelle vague...and 007 too!!!

Damn... this is a masterpiece

They don't make haircuts like that anymore

Gotta love Moscow. With a little cash you can hire a brigade of T-72s. Epic.

Приятно видеть Россию в клипах зарубежных артистов. Хоть и не патриотка. Так хочется новой музыки от этих ребят! На сегодняшний день они - одни из лучших. А в наше время годных исполнителей очень мало.

The age of understatment is clearly one of my favorite album ever. Pop music at his best, so perfect.

They're just one of the most brilliant collaboration ever. I can't wait their new album now!

I've been thinking about this video all day after seeing what's going down

That might sound crazy, but I literally live in less than 2 kilometers from the place, where there're walking in the end of the video and it's so amusing to know that they were so close to me when I was 3 years old

The whole production gives me goosebumps

То чувство, когда ты из России, но так ни разу не покатался на танке. Хотя, с другой стороны, это даже хорошо.

Questi due grandi artisti sottovalutati (purtroppo) dalle radio discografiche e dai 2/3 delle persone del mondo, hanno previsto a distanza di 14 anni fa la marcia dei carri armati russi.

Alex and Miles are seriously PERFECTION :3 !!!

This band and so many others make me wonder, WHAT'S GOING IN THE UK in terms of music production?! They've got a very distinctive sound and they always know how to do it right.

today i found out that my fav group filmed this in my hometown when i was 4 years old... /sighs in russian/

Miles Kane sitting over the tank is just Paul McCartney shooting Help film... This song is BRUTAL! And the video is just some James Bond mission! Love it!

the sound of the tremelo guitars these guys use a lot is one lush sound. Obvious influences but unique in its own right. revisited the album and blown away all over again.

truly one of the great sideprojects. magical stuff. cant praise them highly enough.

I just don't know what to say. They live me speechless. They sounds so great together. I am addict.

Perfect soundtrack

2:25 THEIR LEGS AJAGT

1:26 are those tanks trying to look like a lowrider gangsta car? lmao

я буквально обожаю этот клип🤧 мои мальчики замечательны на фоне ✨российской эстетики✨

idk about y'all but the chorus with those russian men adds so much to it

Thank you TLSP once we were allies and nice to see you in Moscow and in SPB

Dont understand why this is not considered as a masterpiece

The image of the little chubby kid eating a Swiss roll is something that has been popping up in my head every once in while for over a decade now.

Го ещё один клип в России запилите,а?

How did they go from this to fucking Bad Habits?

You can pretty much build this song from mashing Knights of Cydonia and City of Delusion and then adding Alex Turner's singing

it's great! a sound that one could hear in recent james bond films... love the strings. awesome !!!!!

I screamed at 2:02 what a beautiful baby ❤️

One of the best songs ever made

Perfect song for a Quentin Tarantino's film ;)

They should make more songs like this and 'Standing Next To Me'

this was my favorite song for many years!

Depois de 300 anos procurando essa banda depois de ter assistido esse clipe na MTV, eu acho por acaso. Quer dizer, não tão por acaso assim, foi numa playlist da própria MTV. Finalmente...

this is so dark... yet i cannot stop watching

honestly am i the only person who really enjoyed bad habits

I haven't heard this sound for the longest time I could remember. AMAZING song from amazing band. 5 stars.

Bruh why the fuck is everyone hating on Bad Habits? It's a great song. smh

ПОЧЕМУ Я НЕ ЗНАЛ ОБ ЭТОМ

This is just too good ♥️miles and Alex and geniuses

Its one of the most intelligent videoclip has never been, taking codes from soviets and brits, and mods, its awesome

What a good song ! Their voices sound great together I'm looking forward to going to one of their concert !

WHY DID I JUST DISCOVER THIS VIDEO IN 2020 AND WHY IS IT SENDING ME

who writes songs like this?.............fuckin amazing

16 years ago 😅

Eleven fookin years ago man.... Time, and all that jazz.

i need another TLSP album please

Alex Turner is Paul Mcartney 2.0

Happy Birthday The Age Of The Understatement this master piece 😄😍

Bruh. Everyone's hating on their new stuff. They got some good shit on EYCTE, not everything is perfect like this album or even this track.. but it's good shit.

a mis hijos les diré que este era el himno de la URSS

NEW ALBUM CONFIRMED

Is it me or could this be a Spaghetti Western theme song?

oh young milex 😍

Those two voices together... mesmerising.

This is insanely amazing.........

Damn this is 15 years old...

I could watch this 3 times in a row. Brilliant lyrics, catchy tune and stunning video. It really captures the essence of Russia and its past.

omg I heard "sweaty little Japanese people" when they said "twenty little tragedies begin" at 1:16 hahaha

How can something be that good?

JESUS! The sheer brilliance of this band, makes me quiver! Always original and stylish!!! LOVE IT!

i forgot how epic this song was! :)

Clássico, tempos áureos da MTV 🇧🇷

Госпоооди, как же я ору

Two babyfaces with big noses, Beatle haircut and sense for catchy melodies. A great, great song !!!

It's not often you hear lines like "this relentless marauder" og "endearingly bedraggled in the wind" in modern radio.
