Can we talk about how Annie's done a cracking job interviewing him here Like actually having an interesting insightful conversation about things Keep up the good work madam
Conor McKee well what would you prefer? Her turn around and be like "so tell us why you're such a fuck up" She's clearly a genuine fan of the band with a genuine interest in his writing and that shows in the interview in a good way, not a bad way This is an interview for fans of the band and it's pulled off brilliantly in my opinion
This man has my deepest respect. As someone with Aspergers and ADHD, I relate a lot to Alex. Now I’m not sure if he actually has either of those diagnoses, but I feel a commonality at some level. The awkwardness, long pauses, and masked humbleness. Tranquility base has been my mental escape from harsher days for some years now. Wish I could thank him.
That still does not help because it is widely accepted that there is no form of autism or diagnosis that has been roped into autism that needs less support than the others.
Dude was 19 when he wrote that masterpiece that Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. It's unbelievable because it sounds great and is a lyrically brilliant album.
Wow. this was the most earnest alex turner interview ive seen in so long. Its less light hearted than other ones where alex would be flirting with the interviewer and they would be asking him empty questions that he already answered in the past. He seems so modest right now and genuinely excited and scared for this new tour. I'm so happy for him he really looks like he's grown 💖
@@electraNOIR nah he really did change it up a lot back when AM came out...and then at some point in an interview i think liam gallagher (not exactly sure, could've been noel) just took the piss out of him,his image and accent...and somehow after that interview,the accent came back
*sigh* He definitely seems more alert and a lot less rambling/hesitating/dodging/loss for words. Was it drugs, tired from the road, being contrary? I don't know. At times it seems one of these or maybe all of these. This is a great interview with a great interviewer who asked very good questions. I am honestly more interested in seeing more videos of them playing the new songs and watching the new interviews than the listening new "concept" album.
pianodore I just wanted to know what was going on with him back them, why no one asks? she asked about him on the stage and he was bat shit crazy but his answer didn't give it nothing 😩
Célio P I agree, I think fans want to know his attitude changes, his state of mind etc but at the end its his personal life and he might not want to share it maybe, and if he is fine and happy, than we just should be happy for him
He is 32 years old for fucks shake. Of course he is more serious and confident when he talks. I have seen changes in myself and the way I talk from 20 to 24 years old. He is past 30 so of course he seems more mature and serious and down to earth and confident when talking. He's been in the spotlight since he was a kid. He started out as a shy teenager, then as he grew up he made up that cocky and confident persona he had with the hair and the lazy talking that made all the girls go crazy. And now he is all grown up and obviously he is more serious and doesn't need to put on the swager he had in his 20s. He is himself the most I think.
In 2013-14 he was like "no one's actually interested in what i feel and what I say so i don't give a fuck". but he has truly changed. He is very different now. very honest and free. Not only while talking but while performing as well.
This interview is just something else... He seems so sincere with his answers- No surprise because the interviewer asked some pretty interesting questions.
Before I used to see his performances and videos and thought that he's quite arrogant, I wasn't expecting a shy and stuttering man who avoids to make eye contact. :O
Its hard to make eye contact when the person interviewing you is constantly looking up at the ceiling trying to "craft" her question just right. Watch her at the beginning. At first i honestly thought she was blind. Her stupid eyes darting all over whole looking up at the ceiling i thought she was goung to come up with a super interesting question......NOPE. But i do agree with your perception of Alex as a person though not exactly what i expected either.
Mufti Hossain for me the first try was kinda rough, but after hearing with the lyrics, the album has grown to me in a way i couldn't presume from the first listen. A really intriguing and inspired art pop/space rock/lo-fi album. It played with everyone's expectations in a very clever way. Props to them. "Anticipation has a habit to set you up for disappointment"
nah it only makes sense. People who like the genres and types of music of wpsiatwin and humbug wouldnt like the types of music and genre of tranquility base. Why would they? Theyre completely different its like night and day.
I have been saying for YEARS that TLSP should do the next James Bond theme song. “In My Room” would have been a fantastic James Bond track. PLEASE consider that soundtrack idea!
Very interesting hearing why and what he is doing, if someone doesn't feel like the music they are making is right, then why make it? They don't owe us anything, for being fans we are fans, quite literally people who respect and like the music, don't owe us shit for not making the AM alike songs again, credit Alex!
Arctic Monkeys has been my favourite band for two years and Alex is one of my idols, yet I have never watched a single interview with him. It was just too difficult for me to watch because Alex always seems to be high in interviews. This is my first time actually watching him interviewed! For such a wonderful lyricist, he sure does seem to be lost for words a lot of the time. It's hard to understand where his train of thought goes most of the time; I don't know if he still takes drugs, or if it's just the way he is. Either way, he seems to be doing better in this interview.
I’m Italian but I understand everything he says lol I’m kind of surprised He’s got a wonderful Yorkshire accent anyways I’m glad the good old Alex is baack
alex 2006: messy british teenager
alex 2013: slicked back biker

Can we talk about how Annie's done a cracking job interviewing him here
Like actually having an interesting insightful conversation about things
Keep up the good work madam
No, as she's interviewing with her nose right up his hole.
Conor McKee well what would you prefer? Her turn around and be like "so tell us why you're such a fuck up"
She's clearly a genuine fan of the band with a genuine interest in his writing and that shows in the interview in a good way, not a bad way
This is an interview for fans of the band and it's pulled off brilliantly in my opinion
Ask more difficult questions.
AdzBrandMusic you can tell that she wasn't a fan of the latest album. So, ask some questions for the horrible change of direction in the album.
bruh how inlove with their band are you?
''You were doing ninja kicks''
''No I was not''
Confirmation he was super high and therefore in the zone
AdzBrandMusic so true 😂😂
Then he reacted like “did I? 😂”
Ayyy
420 likes... Well done people.
jesse hendriksen no one ruin it!!
I couldn't be the only one who was waiting for him to say her name.
Blurry face is that like a thing where he says the name of the interviewers every time? Cause I kinda have heard of it
Roderick Stewart yeah, he always do that.
Roderick Stewart it is? I didn't know
Hahaha yeah same lol
@@blurryface1591 Nice profile pic by the way you know who pink is ?
1:52 Alex face when the interviewer mentions Miles Kane it's just precious

Fontaneish Milex...
You see him think 'you talking 'bout me guy?' and I am not meaning it in a lovestory Milex way hahaha
"DID SHE JUST MENTION MY BOYFRIEND"

The beard is so good I might even rate it four stars out of five..
Take it easy for a little while
it's such an easy flight

This made me smile
Cute new place keep on popping up
"you were doing ninja kicks''
''honestly i don't remember, i was probably fucked up, yeah i was crazy back then uheauehaueha"
where does he say this
Tbh I spent like 3 minutes trying to remember wtf I was talking about. But the second line is actually a Vine reference

Asperges is not a thing anymore tho
@@maxk880 “Low-care-needs autism” if that makes you any happier. Synonymous terms quite frankly.
That still does not help because it is widely accepted that there is no form of autism or diagnosis that has been roped into autism that needs less support than the others.
"I try not to, Annie"
The way he said that is so sexy
Psychotic Duck i thought he said honey
Dude was 19 when he wrote that masterpiece that Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. It's unbelievable because it sounds great and is a lyrically brilliant album.
Lyrically, yes.
Wow. this was the most earnest alex turner interview ive seen in so long.

And he seems shy, not all the tine, but still (like shy from opening up). It's nice.
*remembers that one interview with suzanna*
He genuinely puts an effort into responding damn
The intelligence in his art, how he is speaking about it. That's one thing why I love him as an artist.
“You we’re doing ninja kicks in a vest.”
“No I was not.”
“Yeah you were.”
It's so adorable how awkward he gets when being praised.
he’s amazing
he is such an intelligent person wow i love him so much
brilliant interviewer. she doesnt interrupt, listens with interest, is well informed, adn guides the conversation beautifully
5:02 "I'll try not to, Annie"😂😂
Cameron Jarrold he said her name 😂😂🙏🏽
i was waiting for it the whole interview😂
Cameron Jarrold 😂
You're quite right Martin
Cameron Jarrold 😂😂
“I try not to, Annie.” He’s so
His Yorkshire accent is much more notable when he speaks as opposed to when he sings. Just saw them for the first time in Hollywood. Epic.
Shane Walker agree. His accent hasn’t changed as much as people say it has.
Yeah it really is so thick lol
his accent is super pronounced on the first album too
Depends who he's talking to, have to clean it up for people not from Britain just so they can understand. I have to do the same
@@electraNOIR nah he really did change it up a lot back when AM came out...and then at some point in an interview i think liam gallagher (not exactly sure, could've been noel) just took the piss out of him,his image and accent...and somehow after that interview,the accent came back
Alex turner for next James Bond theme!!

My mistakes were made for you tlsp

When you can t fully understand what Alex is saying So you think capitons might help but then you Find yourself reading: Bacon on the dancefloor
Dead 💀
YES
i bet you look bacon on the dancefloor
YES OMG
LMAO the mental image has me dead
Interviewing Alex is my Favourite Worst Nightmare
I would pay so much money just to see alex´ reaction to their performance in glastonbury
For realllll tho
I am happy to see him sober when interviewing

It is really nice seeing him talking more seriously about his experiences. Also, nice questions from the interviewer

'Thank you annie'

My native language is spanish and right now I'm trying so hard to understand what Alex is saying
No estas solo en esto xD
Me too! It's so hard to understand hahahaha
Baia baia, ya somos 4 👀😂
I'm from Brazil, and I'm having a hard time too. hahaha
I'm from Serbia, and same here 🖐️ 😂
Finally a good interview with proper questions, respectful interviewer and great answers!
In 2013-14 he was like "no one's actually interested in what i feel and what I say so i don't give a fuck". but he has truly changed. He is very different now. very honest and free. Not only while talking but while performing as well.

He kinda came full circle to the OG young alex
I think he’s always been that way and always will be, the late SIAS and AM era were just personas
Literally same. I just started watching this video and it was weird on how quiet and how much he stuttered but it's okay
Probably all the coke

In 4 years, everybody will be pretending they loved the album from the get go, just like Humbug
Mufti Hossain for me the first try was kinda rough, but after hearing with the lyrics, the album has grown to me in a way i couldn't presume from the first listen. A really intriguing and inspired art pop/space rock/lo-fi album.
It played with everyone's expectations in a very clever way.
Props to them.
"Anticipation has a habit to set you up for disappointment"
Nope it's shite.
Lee McQueen that’s what they said about Humbug too
Lorrie humbug IS shit, haven’t been good since 2007..
All these years on, Humbug is still shit. And I really tried....
"thank you, Annie." -Alex Turner,2018
i love the questions she's asking! nothing boring, just things that people are genuinely interested in. love it x
2:41 thought he was going to say "I took a lot of drugs"
i'm pretty sure he is, it's just a tunnel rockstars or just people who has to perform a lot goes.. many dj's , rockstars or whoever used to take drugs
Wow this interviewer actually knew what she was talking about, probs to her and BBC.
Yessss he called her by her name ahah
i love you
When he thanked her at the end! I was like, haaaaaaaaa I didn't know it but I was waiting for something:D
He must love that movie Call me by your name
Renato Contreras He's also a bit gay too so there's also that ahah. Jk...
+Michael Christie lol!
"ye, just... not this week" MOOD
9:01 that whistle when the interview mentions how many views that one cover has xd💕
I love how when Alex is comfortable in the interviews, the Yorkshire accent just flows back.
Great interview, it's lovely to see Alex so relaxed and happy. Hoping the album arrives tomorrow as it should, not listened yet!
TBHC is actually one of my faves. Not sure why people give it so much hate. 🤷♀️
It was a vocal minority, most of the fanbase loved it
It's amazing how they made something so different yet keeping their signature style. And the lyrics are genius!
nah it only makes sense. People who like the genres and types of music of wpsiatwin and humbug wouldnt like the types of music and genre of tranquility base. Why would they? Theyre completely different its like night and day.
The Shrubs I mean people can appreciate different styles tho, personally humbug and tbhc are my top 2 and have been since tbhc came out...
Jackson Barlow no problem with appreciating different styles, I just don’t understand giving hate to the ones you don’t like. ☺️
this was very enjoyable, thankyou alex turner, annie mac & radio one. Going to give the album another spin now.
"youtubin meself" god he's great

Josue Zambrano that’s cool. How’d you get ahold of it?

I love that soundtrack so much. It's nice having 2 versions of Piledriver Waltz.
“I mean I was there...I think. To a certain extent...”

Thank you Alex for writing a new album, looking forward to hear it tomorrow! Time travel huh
honestly, he's still the cutest an i've ever seen
"THANK YOU ANNEH"
His laugh is precious ❤️

Yes.
He seems like a boss in gta or something like that lmao 😂 I love him
Jose Maria Frutos it’s hot
‘you were in some amazing trance’ - coke is a hell of a drug
When he said "I try not to Annie" I wished my name was Annie
Glad his accent seems to have come back a bit. I was never overly comfortable with that change.
its just amazing how we all speak the language of Alex turner in song...but watching him speak is an ENTIRELY different thing
I feel like everytime they cut away that he is just sobbing and then composing himself. Why is he so sad
It's so cute when he laughs omg
The girls aloud love machine cover is still my favourite thing ever tbh
Emily Stephenson Yh but hold on we’re going home is just as 😍

That's literally what i was thinking. Lmao 🤣
At the end, Annie asks him if he would consider doing a soundtrack. He definitely did the soundtrack to Submarine already 😂
another
She meant a proper soundtrack, alex´s contribution to submarine were just songs, she was talking about an entire film score
I'm glad that Peaky Blinders used a lot of music of Arctic Monkeys as their soundtrack 😄
1:41-1:55 is my favorite part of this video I love the expressions on his face 😂😅
