Is it me, or is Northern England a hot bed for music talent? Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield produced some of the greatest British bands. Manchester alone has so many to name.
As a lass from Sheffield, the home of the Arctic Monkeys I danced the night away to them in tiny bars before they released a single track, always reminds me of the joy of live music I Sheffield to this day.
Please listen to When The Sun Goes Down/Brianstorm at Glastonbury 2007. At that time they had only one album released plus a few singles, and still headlined the biggest festival in the world. Absolute stellar performance.
I think The Arctic Monkeys have so matured as a band lyrically and musically. Their album Suck it and See is my fave. I love the B sides from Humbug - that shows how great musically they are, not afraid to change their style. Then when the latest album came out it was like their version of Sgt Peppers. ie Totally different. I guess their next album will be balsy and just straight out heavy rock.
Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm (not Brainstorm haa) Welcome fellas, you’re going to enjoy listening to the Arctics
I've been a heavy rock fan for 45 years but this band are absolutely superb. Love the way he rhymes 'dancefloor' with 'or'. It shouldn't work, but it does....brilliantly.
Believe me this was on in every club in England every weekend, I was DJing in a rock club when this came out and I played at least one song from this album every Saturday night. I also worked for them for a show during this tour and they were a great bunch of lads.
I remember just before it came out I was in a bar/club. This came on n a few of who knew it went fucking nuts but 90% of the dance floor emptyd.. The week after I asked the dj play it... He refused because it killed the vibe... Roll on 2 months later wen it was out... Same club... Same crowd all going nuts..
Saw these guys play in my home town when they first broke. They were amazing and afterwards just went into a few nearby boozers and had some beers, no egos at all. Brilliant band.
I bet you look good on the dancefloor" Is in my top ten favourite songs. It blew my mind when it first was released. Couldn't believe they were so young. "Do I Wanna Know" Is also fucking brilliant.
I grew up in the same city as the Artic Monkeys (Sheffield, UK). Listen to "Riot van" very short... but its a really good idea of getting arrested with your mates as a kid.
When R U Mine came out, these had already passed their peak, their ilfirst two albums from start to finish are banging. Every single track is amazing. By their third album, they’d started to fade, as they started to experiment more. Purists May say they got better, but the first two pure-indie albums are just superb. Alex is such a great lyricist. AM we’re the first artist to get to number one on downloads only. This is the one, their first single. The first single off their second album called “Brianstormer” (yes that is meant to say Brian, not Brain) kept Beyoncé off the top spot in the UK. A lot of their songs are about going out drinking in the North West of England, whilst under age, trying to get into pubs & bars, and then girls when they eventually got in somewhere!
Great channel guys. I drank beer with these guys early in their career and they performed this song better live and they blew my socks off. Small gig of 350 people but shoulder to shoulder, raw, visceral and friggin amazing.
Growing up an hour and a half from Sheffield and leaving school in 2005. This album was my bible for about 4 years solid. Played every night before a night out on the drink. Great times.
There are few music moment that wake you up and realise you witness something new and great. I remember seeing them playing this tune on mtv or something which was the official vid, it was live and full of northern attitude etc, I hadn’t seen anything like that since my favourite band oasis. It blew me away back in 2006 or something. They’re one of the greats, and like a lot of the real greats they’re unappreciated ,and underrated.
I was about 20 when this was around, as soon as it came on in the club everyone would run to the dancefloor! yeah 1st album is incredible ...When the sun goes down and A certain romance from the first album is great!
Arctic Monkeys first album is amazing with AMAZING and fun lyrics. Fake tales of San Francisco, Still take you home, From the Ritz to the Rubble, A certain romance. Check out Red light Indicates doors are secured with a lyricvideo, the whole song is about a taxiride home from a night out
This video was filmed in Barnsley College, same place I went, Alex and Matt both went to Barnsley College, this song was the fastest selling single of all time when it came out, they've inspired a generation just like the beatles and stones did
When the sun goes down, fake tales of San Francisco, view from the afternoon, should check them out from the debut album. One of the greatest albums of all time
definitely recommend their TRNSMT performance in 2018. Specifically when they performed "The View from the Afternoon" and "From the Ritz to the Rubble!"
I loop this a fair bit...👍 They were part of a new wave of guitar bands from the early mid 2000s...with the likes of the strokes Franz Ferdinand the Kaiser Chiefs, The Libertines etc Try the Kaisers "I predict a riot" or Franz's "take me out"...
Listen to a band called 'The Coral', their song 'Dreaming Of You' was written by them while they were kids. Their parents literally had to sign their contracts for them back then because they were so young. Twenty years later, they've just secured a Number 1 album just last week. That song is still fresh today. They have so many amazing songs.
@Ramith Rajendran Let's be honest, as much as I love the AM and Alex Turner writing, Liam drinking a tea is more rock'n'roll than the whole band (and that's part of the succes of Oasis)
@Ramith Rajendran I don't know about that man. I'll be straight up: I like Arctic Monkeys more than Oasis. But Don't Look Back in Anger is better than any individual Arctic Monkey's song.
@Ramith Rajendran of course yeah, you're right and the others are wrong that's obvious. It took some years to Turner to have some attitude, he said it himself. Both great band, whatever you think
Pre-cursor to brit pop two bands you should check out. 1st band, These animal men . Album title "come join the high society" 2nd band s*m*a*s*h album self abused. I think you will enjoy those two.
You need to check out Gerry CInnamon "Belter" live at transmit festival in his home town of Glasgow. I havn't seen any Americans react to him yet. He's gone from singing in pubs to 10 people to selling out stadiums before covid hit. Belter being sung by the young Glaswegian crowd is something else.
You should have reviewed the original music video, played live in (I think...) the MTV studios. They did indeed come up via MySpace, and as Alex stepped to the mic he says "don't believe the hype" in his wonderful Sheffield drawl, before smashing the song completely.
Hey guys I’ve seen arctic monkeys from way back when this debut single was fresh my first gig of theirs was at Cambridge corn exchange it’s a small venue maybe 800-1000 capacity and they blew me away then and have done ever since the catchy witty lyrics laced of some slamming tele’s and strats they’re just awesome. Their style like any band has changed over the years naturally but they still drop amazing songs. They are also responsible for probably my favourite gig of all time at old Trafford cricket ground in Lancashire they rattled through their first and second album in about 90 mins the whole crowd bounced for pretty much the whole duration I’ve never seen a collective mosh pit of about 50-60 thousand people Tracy in that way to a band and probably never will again it was a thing to behold if you like that stuff check the second album out also it’s called my favourite worst nightmare my favourite from that Is probably do me a favour.
Arctic Monkeys headlined Glastonbury and Reading and Leeds after their first debut album, which gained so much traction due to a huge innovative underground following on the internet. They would distribute CDs at concerts and one fan uploaded said CD to MySpace with the title "Under The Boardwalk" to which they gained much of their traction. The best part is they haven't stuck with a genre for more than one album, always moving, always innovating, never staying still.
I was never a big fan but this is how I remember them. One of my friends was obsessed with them when they had about 500 MySpace followers. I didn't believe him when he predicted they would be huge.
imagine: they were pimply kids from northern england who decided they wanted to form a band, chose their instruments randomly, studied em a lil bit and started making delightful music. 19 yr old alex turner wrote these incredible lyrics. this was their debut song. literally RAW talent it's what it is
If i recall they were the first band to use the internet effectively to get noticed. Oasis marked the last of bands doing it the old way and artic monkeys marked the new era of bands bypassing all the managers and record deals straight to the fans.
As someone who graduated high school in 1984, thank you so much for reacting to one of my favorite bands of the 2000s! (Cage the Elephant, Alex Clare and Paramore are among others).
British band from the city of Sheffield. They were just teenagers when they did this 2005. There is much more from them. They have evolved over the years.
lads arctic monkeys were only teenagers when this came out and they broke oasis’ record for fastest selling debut album in the UK
Spot on mate ❤😊😊
Is it me, or is Northern England a hot bed for music talent? Liverpool, Manchester and Sheffield produced some of the greatest British bands. Manchester alone has so many to name.
The whole first album is a masterpiece, try some other tracks from it you won’t be disappointed I guarantee it.
agreed
100%
Agreed, “favorite worst nightmare” is a masterpiece too.
completely agree... the songwriting for someone his age at the time was soon good.
Good story teller
@@jasonbrittain4100 mindblowing songwriting. Yes
What a debut single this is. Alex Turner was only 19 when this was released! From an amazing album too!
Alex was 19? I always have in the back of my old age brain that he was 16, I might be thinking about a different band though, bloody genius anyway
@@martinphillips3549 he was 16 when the band first formed in 2002. That might be what you’re thinking of
As a lass from Sheffield, the home of the Arctic Monkeys I danced the night away to them in tiny bars before they released a single track, always reminds me of the joy of live music I Sheffield to this day.
Whole first album - it defines a night out on the UK in the early 2000s!!
late 2000s?
Like a night out in sheffield
Mid 00s
A Certain Romance - Arctic Monkeys
I’d say is their best song! One of my favourites ever.
Definitely it's my fave as well, pity they don't do it live any more.
I love this song but "tracky bottoms tucked in socks" always reminds me of CHAVS from pompey.
@@Scooot1972 "well that's what the point is not!"
@E 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Please listen to When The Sun Goes Down/Brianstorm at Glastonbury 2007. At that time they had only one album released plus a few singles, and still headlined the biggest festival in the world. Absolute stellar performance.

I was There. In front of the sound control tower. It was legendary.
You 100% need to see them perform this song at Glastonbury 2013. The energy is insane
yeahhh or at TRNSMT 2018. That crowd was truly something else
Arctic Monkeys - When the Sun Goes Down
Arctic Monkeys - Brianstorm (not Brainstorm haa)
Welcome fellas, you’re going to enjoy listening to the Arctics
React to these ones please!!!
I love brianstorm
Arctic Monkeys live performance of “When the sun goes down” at Glastonbury is epic
Fellow Marylander here, fellas. Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band--glad you dug them. Hope you continue to dig in.
By far their best album! Mardy bum, when the sun goes down and view from the afternoon are all unreal!
Their orchestral version of Mardy Bum is great, shows how far they have come musically and as a band.
@@Alpha_7227 I'll have to check that out mate

100% a like for your love of this. Congrats!
Yes ...... this is a banging tune !!!!!!!. Love u guys !
That whole first album was the best thing they did
A certain romance and sun goes down. These are 2 of the best Arctic monkeys songs.
when the sun goes down 100
Saw these guys play in my home town when they first broke. They were amazing and afterwards just went into a few nearby boozers and had some beers, no egos at all. Brilliant band.
505
Fluorescent adolescent
Brianstorm
When the sun goes down
Teddy picker
All great songs to react to guys
505 has in recent years become my favourite. I think it’s just outrageously good on all levels
I bet you look good on the dancefloor" Is in my top ten favourite songs.
It blew my mind when it first was released.
Couldn't believe they were so young.
"Do I Wanna Know" Is also fucking brilliant.
Oh my, welcome to the rabbit hole..
Fantastic band
Hey, it even references Shakespeare too, Romeo and Juliet (Montagues and Capulets). Shakespeare and Duran Duran in one song - perfect!
You two really are doing the best of British bands: enjoy!
I grew up in the same city as the Artic Monkeys (Sheffield, UK).
Listen to "Riot van" very short... but its a really good idea of getting arrested with your mates as a kid.
Alex Turner is a fantastic lyric writer and this whole album is phenomenal!
When R U Mine came out, these had already passed their peak, their ilfirst two albums from start to finish are banging. Every single track is amazing. By their third album, they’d started to fade, as they started to experiment more. Purists May say they got better, but the first two pure-indie albums are just superb.

A lot of their songs are about going out drinking in the North West of England, whilst under age, trying to get into pubs & bars, and then girls when they eventually got in somewhere!
Guys, you need to see the video that accompanied this...the energy is amped x5!
You are definitely cementing the UK 🇬🇧 as the kings of the bangers!! 😂😂
Great channel guys.
I drank beer with these guys early in their career and they performed this song better live and they blew my socks off. Small gig of 350 people but shoulder to shoulder, raw, visceral and friggin amazing.
haha I was 13 when this song first released and I just now got the Duran Duran reference haha fair play
Early Arctic Monkeys were fire, those first demos and their debut record were the soundtrack to my late teen years!
All the B sides were bangers as well
@@benjammin9471 so true that!
I remember getting the demos and early releases and you just knew these guys were it,
Welcome to the club. Good stuff.
You two always love the tunes you get the bobble heads to .
Growing up an hour and a half from Sheffield and leaving school in 2005. This album was my bible for about 4 years solid. Played every night before a night out on the drink. Great times.
watch this...

One of the greatest songs and greatest bands of all time. Amazing to me that they didn’t become huge in the U.S.
Arctic Monkeys first album is amazing with AMAZING and fun lyrics. Fake tales of San Francisco, Still take you home, From the Ritz to the Rubble, A certain romance.
Check out Red light Indicates doors are secured with a lyricvideo, the whole song is about a taxiride home from a night out
9k!! Well done guys!! Kx
What a tune! Glad you love this so much …
Saw these boys play when they first started out in a newcastle UK gig in 2003, everyone there knew they'd make it big!
This video was filmed in Barnsley College, same place I went, Alex and Matt both went to Barnsley College, this song was the fastest selling single of all time when it came out, they've inspired a generation just like the beatles and stones did
Alex Turner did the soundtrack to a film called Submarine, in my view it's the best work he's done, it's truly stunning.
This song makes you smile! 🙂😁
First reactors I’ve seen getting the Duran Duran reference!
Fluorescent Adolescent lyrics inspired me to change my life, give it a listen.
Iv been a artic monkeys fan from.tge MySpace days n iv never joined that dot lol
When the sun goes down, fake tales of San Francisco, view from the afternoon, should check them out from the debut album. One of the greatest albums of all time
Great to see you reviewing this! Pretty sure this is still the fastest selling UK debut to this day.
definitely recommend their TRNSMT performance in 2018. Specifically when they performed "The View from the Afternoon" and "From the Ritz to the Rubble!"
Another class band and song. 505 by them is a must. The drop will blow you away.
I loop this a fair bit...👍
They were part of a new wave of guitar bands from the early mid 2000s...with the likes of the strokes Franz Ferdinand the Kaiser Chiefs, The Libertines etc
Try the Kaisers "I predict a riot" or Franz's "take me out"...
Must listen to view from the afternoon

Their parents literally had to sign their contracts for them back then because they were so young. Twenty years later, they've just secured a Number 1 album just last week.

That time Noel Gallagher said “ you’ll never get anywhere with a name like Arctic monkeys” ....
Yep Noel always was a bellend .
@Ramith Rajendran not sure about that one chief
@Ramith Rajendran Let's be honest, as much as I love the AM and Alex Turner writing, Liam drinking a tea is more rock'n'roll than the whole band (and that's part of the succes of Oasis)

@Ramith Rajendran of course yeah, you're right and the others are wrong that's obvious.
It took some years to Turner to have some attitude, he said it himself.
Both great band, whatever you think
Watch some of the live versions.
Also try checking out Feeder live
Brilliant debut, every track start to finish is amazing, he writes about things he should have no idea about.. absolute powerhouse band
Pre-cursor to brit pop two bands you should check out. 1st band, These animal men . Album title "come join the high society" 2nd band s*m*a*s*h album self abused. I think you will enjoy those two.
Do this live at TRNSMT 2018 to witness one of the craziest crowds you’ve ever seen
You need to check out Gerry CInnamon "Belter" live at transmit festival in his home town of Glasgow. I havn't seen any Americans react to him yet. He's gone from singing in pubs to 10 people to selling out stadiums before covid hit. Belter being sung by the young Glaswegian crowd is something else.
New sub - that was awesome. It was a good year for music.
I love their whole first album. From The Ritz To The Rubble is one of my favourite songs from it and I bet you´ll love it too
Any song of their first two albums, you won't be disappointed not for a second
Columbia, live at Knebworth!
You should have reviewed the original music video, played live in (I think...) the MTV studios.
They did indeed come up via MySpace, and as Alex stepped to the mic he says "don't believe the hype" in his wonderful Sheffield drawl, before smashing the song completely.
The Stone Roses - I Wanna be Adored - Live Parr Hall
Thats a shout!!
What a night
Subbed!! good video, bromies
the singer also sings with the last of the shadow puppets
There's no dud tracks on the album. It's Dynamite !!! Plus, they were only teenagers at the time of writing

Really underrated

Their debut album was the fastest selling album in UK history, selling more than 350k in the first week
Just watched you guys (never seen you before) and you've done Stone Roses, Oasis, Kasabian, and now these lads. Nice one you've got a new sub;
You guys rock. Love the vibe
This is one of AM songs that are still played everywhere over here and everyone shouts the lyrics the whole time :)
Major kudos has to go to the lad’s English teacher who thought his poetry was cracking and he should do something with it. 👏🏻
imagine: they were pimply kids from northern england who decided they wanted to form a band, chose their instruments randomly, studied em a lil bit and started making delightful music. 19 yr old alex turner wrote these incredible lyrics. this was their debut song. literally RAW talent it's what it is
Another song to check out from that time is Naive by The Kooks
very proud to be from the same city as these lads
I’d give anything to hear this album for the first time again 🥲
"don't believe the hype" love Arctic Monkeys so much
I always seeing that performance at the time, it blew me away.
If i recall they were the first band to use the internet effectively to get noticed. Oasis marked the last of bands doing it the old way and artic monkeys marked the new era of bands bypassing all the managers and record deals straight to the fans.
Fake Tales of San Francisco, my favourite Arctic Monkeys song
Their 1st album is fantastic. If you loved this track you'll love this album
They got Duran Duran, now I wonder whether the Shakespeare reference went over their head.
As someone who graduated high school in 1984, thank you so much for reacting to one of my favorite bands of the 2000s! (Cage the Elephant, Alex Clare and Paramore are among others).
You should’ve listened to the ‘official’ live video; no copyright and a great insight in how they we’re as a new upcoming British band post Oasis
Banquet by Bloc Party next please!
Libertines can’t stand me now and don’t look back into the sun
Another great reaction, did well to grab the Duran Duran wordplay lol
Love these lads since the first time I heard this song. I remember telling everyone about it and that they’d blow up.
No one agreed at the time 🙄😂
British band from the city of Sheffield. They were just teenagers when they did this 2005. There is much more from them. They have evolved over the years.
Loved early arctic monkeys x
now this is a banger!
you need to watch a video of this live. at an earlier festival performance its amazing
Alex was 19 years old when this album was released believe it or not😳
Do a live stream of Arctic moneys trnsmt festival! Best crowd and performance you’ll ever see
