Can we just appreciate what a great interviewer Annie Mac is? She actually listens to her guests. Alex Turner isn’t a guy who talks a lot, but she managed to make him talk by just giving him enough space. She did the same thing with Florence Welch (Florence+The Machine) and that was also an amazing interview.
Yes. I'm glad that i get to actually hear more about him and his talents. The interviewer is that person that always listens and that we could talk to for hours.
He realized he had a big ego when he became even more famous because of AM, and that why wrote The Bourne Identity, and that is why he is more laid back now
R. " It doesn't sound like an AM record" could anyone say anything more ignorant? Have we ever even gotten a solo alex record? How would anyone even know lmao
Tess Sharples but it was for a movie and not a personal Alex record. It was made with the movie in mind so technically, we still don’t know what an Alex record made for Alex will sound like
makes me sad he’s getting so much hate atm, especially in the comments. the album was a fantastic work of art, and lyrically especially alex is an absolute genius. clearly he’s off whatever drugs he was taking not that long ago and that’s fantastic, and his lack of eye contact is due to terrible anxiety. living in isolation can heighten anxiety even when living with others, and that’s exactly what he did for this record. i think it’s good that he’s finally doing what he wants to do and as someone stated on here before, the secret to longevity is to be innovative. alex is certainly innovative. also no doubt he’s sounding more sheffield cause he’s been around the other monkeys and that, and he’s been in sheffield more frequently too. idk i think he needs to catch a break from all the criticism, but i guess even the beatles got a fair amount of hate after sergeant pepper and they were gods. tldr; people need to bloody leave alex alone.
The only thing I disagree with is the drug part. I'm 100% sure he's never even been on drugs and the reason he acted a bit different than his usual self is that he embodied a persona to make him look more confident to hide the fact that he's an incredibly shy and reserved person. If you watch his earlier interview, you'd notice he's always been like this and he always took time to answer the questions because of his social anxiety and his fear of being judged or not answer properly to a question, so that's why he talks slow and stutter a lot because of his lack of confience. People mistook his behaviour as him being intoxicated, but that's just silly tbh. He himself admitted that most of the time people thought he was on something, but that's just how he is and you could tell he's pissed at people saying he's high or drunk all the damn time. Anyway, Alex seems like the type of guy who smokes and drinks from time to time, but I highly doubt he was ever into the hard stuff. He looks like he's enjoying what he does too much to ruin himself like that. So, the stupid rumours of him being on drugs needs to stop, it's incredibly disrespectful at this point.
It's meant for sex and red wine. Piss throwing indie fans need to stop being surprised millionaires living in LA aren't writing songs and singing about drunken nights out in Sheffield anymore. This album is a work of art. The entire album, every song, every sound and every feeling it makes me feel is just incredible. I pre-ordered the vinyl as soon as it was announced and haven't stopped playing it loudly since it arrived. Amazing album.
Really? I think he looks thin, pale and tired. If by "healthy" you mean more alert and finding the words to answer the questions quicker - definitely this a lot better than in past interviews.
888ThomtheArtist888 true I meant healthy for him and yes definitely more about how he is engaged in the interview and he can actually answer her questions
Man, Annie Mac is so beautiful. Even just like the sound of her voice and the integrity she has just sitting there. Such a class act. Love Alex too, but yeah.
Why are there so many back handed compliments like damn. Alex did an amazing job! So did the interviewer. Alex is a unique and a beautiful person. Everyone’s got there own quirks and little mannerisms that they do! Anyways, both of you do an amazing job!! Such a wonderful interview! :))
Alex talks with a regional accent. Don't worry he can be hard to understand if you aren't from the North of England. He also has a large vocabulary, he uses words I have to think about and I am English! He is a writer, words are his trade. Your comment above is perfect English so don't worry too much.
sou brasileira tbm! but I've lived in yorkshire almost my whole life (where alex is from) and I've still had to play the interview twice to understand ahaha
i can not stand the hate towards this album, how can people criticise the band for transforming their music in a way that feels right to them? Not to mention Alex’s genius on this record, both lyrically and instrumentally. But the lyrics are the most beautiful part of all and the whole album is a real artwork.
Really interesting to hear that he worked in isolation and brought Jamie in first to listen and record. I guess that makes sense as he's lead guitarist but still cool to hear they work so close. I'm sure they all do though.
This new album is just the aspirin after the incredible party that was AM. Hopefully you feel a bit more creatively free to go on and make more in the future as a band now.
He seems more comfortable talking, which is good. Not trying to be too verbose, which usually made him get lost in his words. Didn't like the album but at least he's doing better
Did you change your mind? 'Cause lots of fans did. Listening in my car mostly. Thinking about the videos which show the world they created on the moon.
This is the only interview of his in which I’ve seen him not think about what he’s going to say for 10 minutes before speaking. Glad to see he’s coming out of his shell
Would it be right in assuming that if this is him off the drugs, it's him little old Alex we've not seen much of recently? He's shy anyway by what people say and if he's on his own, sober, doing media interviews again after at least five years for one of the biggest radio stations - I'm not surprised he seems like he's stumbling over a few words here and there.
Tahsin Sabah he didnt spend much time with other monkeys. He wrote the whole album and made the demos in LA in his home with his gf. He even said the last couple of years hasbeen the longest that they have been away trom each other. I guess he just got tired of keeping that accent. I bet he must have heard those criticism too.
He always had his accent. He's just pretanding or something, I don't know why accually, but I'm glad that his showing more of his accent while talking like some years before.
Max Macdonald I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for greaser Alex Turner, but he's always bso intriguing. Difficult to ignore how awesome his new look is though :)
I can't help it. Alex with his skinny legs crossed and those socks reminds me of my wonderful Grandaddy. Wait... that suit too. I miss the 50s greaser guy already.
Annie is awesome! Also I admit I wasn’t huge on TBHAC when it first came out, and while it’s not a huge jammer like AM or previous albums, I respect it for its artistic integrity and honesty. The lyrics are interesting and I’m going to give it another listen. Even if it’s not a popular album, I think what counts is that Arctic Monkeys/Alex are never trying to do what’s “popular” but what’s true to them. They could’ve made something like AM again but instead went for something that seems more spiritually meaningful. Good for them. I can’t wait till the 2022 album!
Its called gaze avoidance, its where its like youre finding it difficult to stare into an imaginary sun thats not there. Its an Asperger symptom I have long suspected him having. Craig Nicholls and Paddy Considine, both people that were part of Alex's life at a point and he's never put two and two together.
Gotta Shovel I Can Dig It it did sound more tlsp-ish.. but just because it isnt AM part 2 like yal wanted doesnt mean its not good. people are noticing alex seems more like himself in recent interviews.. in the AM phase it seemed like he was putting on a facade. the album isnt mainstream and it isnt for you indie fake fans either lmao
This is one year late, but I found it that if people learn/learn to use a word in a different accent that's the one that sticks? I go to international school, and there are certain words I say in a more english accent coz of my teachers. It makes me sound weird, like I'm trying to forcefully do an accent when I'm not.

It's amazing how much he matured between AM and TBHC
Matured? Got smacked on drugs

He sounds like he’s always got a burp coming, but it never makes it out😂
OMG!! I thought this too!!!
kshawtab hahahahhahaha
holy shit where is the lie
It's like he tries to imitate Rick Sanchez 😂
this comment made me burp
And there are still people saying this should've been a solo album, they literally lived together while recording it.
R. " It doesn't sound like an AM record" could anyone say anything more ignorant?
Have we ever even gotten a solo alex record? How would anyone even know lmao
lawrence Actually, yes we have, the Submarine EP was just Alex.
Tess Sharples but it was for a movie and not a personal Alex record. It was made with the movie in mind so technically, we still don’t know what an Alex record made for Alex will sound like
it really sounds like one man band thou
Roberth Gómez but Alex was the only one who played any instruments in the recordings
Alex has been holding that burp for almost 5 years now. Amazing. Is it a world record?
makes me sad he’s getting so much hate atm, especially in the comments. the album was a fantastic work of art, and lyrically especially alex is an absolute genius. clearly he’s off whatever drugs he was taking not that long ago and that’s fantastic, and his lack of eye contact is due to terrible anxiety. living in isolation can heighten anxiety even when living with others, and that’s exactly what he did for this record. i think it’s good that he’s finally doing what he wants to do and as someone stated on here before, the secret to longevity is to be innovative. alex is certainly innovative. also no doubt he’s sounding more sheffield cause he’s been around the other monkeys and that, and he’s been in sheffield more frequently too. idk i think he needs to catch a break from all the criticism, but i guess even the beatles got a fair amount of hate after sergeant pepper and they were gods.

you were right until you got to the beatles

It's pure music. Full of ideas and reflection.
Shhhh no one cares
Love the album but it’s not as good as the rest
Myles Flowers indie girl triggered
Alex turner for the next James Bond theme!
R_J TLSP or AM?
So it is confirmed?
Let's stop being ridiculous😂
GothicCoochie that's the joke fuck taint
GothicCoochie glad i got a laugh out of you
I like his voice, so calming..... I wish he'd read me a bedtime story...
He looks pretty sober and lucid here. Sounds really coherent. 😮 That's a good thing.
he's not a junkie
He looks so healthy, this is so exciting!
Really? I think he looks thin, pale and tired. If by "healthy" you mean more alert and finding the words to answer the questions quicker - definitely this a lot better than in past interviews.
you too honey

GothicCoochie has he been on cocaine?
GothicCoochie yeah but he might of just lost a bit of weight and by a bit I mean a lot. Also it could be because he’s getting older now

0:12 Alex talking about making creative stuff in isolation before we all had to do so in covid times
I'm from Brazil, and Alex talking makes me put my English skills in doubt.
Siiiiiiiim! haahahahhaha

I know how you feel 'bout it 😫
Same!!!!!! I thought i was pretty okay with my English skills until i heard him lol

he still has that young alex voice.
We still love u alex no matter how do you look
this album is an absolute masterpiece its incredible and so many more things that i dont have the vocabulary to put into words
God i needed this interview lmfao welcome to the new era 🧐
Tiffany Marie welcome to the new era.
He has kinda got his accent Back
thank god
monkey from Mars cos liam told him to

Really interesting to hear that he worked in isolation and brought Jamie in first to listen and record. I guess that makes sense as he's lead guitarist but still cool to hear they work so close. I'm sure they all do though.
From what I read, it was Jamie who encouraged Alex to join a band
when he says "james ford and the vibrophone" @2:52 it sounds like a line of some lyrics haha
The rhythm 😂😂 I love it
I just wanna hear the words "James Ford on the vibraphone" live once.
"James Fawd on the Vahbrafawn"
This new album is just the aspirin after the incredible party that was AM. Hopefully you feel a bit more creatively free to go on and make more in the future as a band now.
Lewis Honestly, wouldn’t wanna be waiting for 5 years for an aspirine...
Haha yeah exactly! Imagine how much pressure they all must have felt after that last album.
Nice analogy mate
I LOVE THIS ALBUM EVER, FOREVER BRCAUSE I LOVE EVERYTHING OF THEM AND .. I DON'T GET MISTAKES ABOUT.. FAITH GUYS!!!
It probably literally is like aspirin for them lol, I think AM was probably the most stressful era for them
"I might look as if I'm deep in thought, but the truth is I'm probably not, if I ever was..."
Can relate. I'm probably thinking "Did I use Dove or Jhonsons soap today? Or Is my elementary school teacher's name Ruth or Beth?"
This is me in a job interview😂😂😂
People here in the comments section seem to be believe who artists are on stage are who they are IRL. Has anyone heard of a stage persona?
Omg I'm so glad they returned. He looks so goood:) thanks BBC
He seems more comfortable talking, which is good. Not trying to be too verbose, which usually made him get lost in his words. Didn't like the album but at least he's doing better
Did you change your mind? 'Cause lots of fans did. Listening in my car mostly. Thinking about the videos which show the world they created on the moon.
The only thing I can listen to is this album. It's brilliant.
People are very, very mean and inconsiderate toward him.
He sounds like he's trying real hard to sound confident -bless
I adore their new album “Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino”! American sports is one of my favourites!
So insanely talented and authentic, despite -- gestures -- this.
He looks better than he did with Miles a couple years ago
This is the only interview of his in which I’ve seen him not think about what he’s going to say for 10 minutes before speaking. Glad to see he’s coming out of his shell
James ford on the vibraphone
I'm the straightest guy I know, but his voice is absolutely compromising that.
fascinating watching Alex spend all of his time fiddling with the mic wires
Would it be right in assuming that if this is him off the drugs, it's him little old Alex we've not seen much of recently? He's shy anyway by what people say and if he's on his own, sober, doing media interviews again after at least five years for one of the biggest radio stations - I'm not surprised he seems like he's stumbling over a few words here and there.
He’s definitely starting speaking normal again because of Liam Gallaghers comments about him going home to his mam and asking what’s for tea 🤣
Kopite TV I think he just spent too much time with the other monkeys
Hahahahahaha I thought the exact same
Tahsin Sabah he didnt spend much time with other monkeys. He wrote the whole album and made the demos in LA in his home with his gf. He even said the last couple of years hasbeen the longest that they have been away trom each other. I guess he just got tired of keeping that accent. I bet he must have heard those criticism too.
Kopite TV I don’t think he gives a damn about what Liam Gallagher has to say.
Kopite TV 😊😊😊😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I always remember him in that chip shop on London Road. He ordered a bag of scraps and a tail end.
Has he been on a Safari ?
Leah Tame LOL
That interview lady is gorgeous 😍
He’s very interesting. I’ve never watched much of his interviews before but he’s very smart and artistically abstract.
I knew this was analogue! The texture was so good with the sound. Honestly screw the vacancy that is digital.
He seems so shy but I dont mind it! I am the same way
5:21 so much cable😂
Great observation! 😂👍
keep 'em coming
I can’t wait to see them live in June 🙌🏻
The Sheffield accent is back
Why does Alex look like he is about to hicup but then it goes away in this interview.
I think I Alex is still hot. Mababy
So his accent returned did it?
AdzBrandMusic from fake yank accent to Michael Parkinson in one year 😂
He always had his accent. He's just pretanding or something, I don't know why accually, but I'm glad that his showing more of his accent while talking like some years before.
This makes me miss game of thrones
LMAO same . I can't stop thinking of Sean Bean .
LMFAOOO
Why?
MaBu Eche the accent haha
sean bean's from sheffield, too.
Miss the AM 50s aesthetic but Im sure the music will be just as good!
it is amazing album indeed
Max Macdonald this has a 60s vibe tho and I love it its nostalgic but futuristic at the same time I love this album already
Max Macdonald I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for greaser Alex Turner, but he's always bso intriguing. Difficult to ignore how awesome his new look is though :)
Blokes a genius.
He actually looks more normal now😂😂
King Milo hahaha he always looks normal
He somehow has never sounded more northern than this interview
I can't help it. Alex with his skinny legs crossed and those socks reminds me of my wonderful Grandaddy. Wait... that suit too. I miss the 50s greaser guy already.
his legs look pretty normal
ovum...of them
as we were raaaten em ... as we were writing them.
up north we don't pronounce T in the middle of words.
and G at the end of ing doesn't exist
He looks less pretentious now imo
the 50's greaser guy was an ass. I think Alex is much more himself here and not trying to put on this persona like he did around 2013-2014
he looks different from TLSP Era
i mean
look at him
the way he talk is more clear
but still can't get over his own Nervous during interview
Annie is awesome!

I think he's better now.. I hope

Its called gaze avoidance, its where its like youre finding it difficult to stare into an imaginary sun thats not there. Its an Asperger symptom I have long suspected him having.
