Artic Monkeys
I love their new album - also my OH is going to see them in Earls Court tonight, I am extremely jealous.
Anyone else a fan? Anyone else going tonight? |

Love everything they've done. Seeing them in Sheffield next Saturday. Different setlists so far on the tour so it looks like they're mixing it up a bit. They could easily play for much longer though, the amount of quality tunes they leave out of their set is ridiculous.

He said it was one of the best gigs he's ever been to. I am glad I didn't go now, he was down the front, with about 15k people around him.
![]() He says he's getting a bit too old for moshing now. He's only in his 30s. He said they were incredible.

I went to both nights at Earls Court. They're so good live, and the new songs sound great live too.
Not gonna lie, I was at the front, but off to the side a bit, and I felt old at 26. I don't usually go to gigs that attract such a massive % of teenagers.

Alex has the dreaded Larry N Jitus and this evening's gig in Brum was cancelled hours before the doors opened. Tomorrow night's gig in Glasgow has also been postponed. Both gigs have already been rescheduled. Getting a bit worried about Saturday night's hometown gig now, was really looking forward to it.

Poor Alex. I bet they're gutted.

A lot of people have been slating them on Facebook and Twitter for cancelling, some even speculating they got heavily drunk on Halloween. Slightly unfair.

To be fair to them they have rescheduled as soon as possible, rather than having to wait for months

Sheffield rescheduled now to Monday 18th November. Disappointing, but at least it's not too long to wait. Shame it's a Monday though.
The people slagging them off are just being dicks. They're the first gigs they've ever cancelled, they even played when Matt Helders was really ill and he had a sick bucket next to his drumkit which he used a few times. I'd rather them rearrange than play and it be a crap gig. |

Unless he is a total primadonna like Axl Rose but i doubt he is. |

I love the fact the spelling of the band name is wrong in this thread
![]() I saw them the Saturday at Earls Court and in Cardiff on Tuesday - awesome live and his voice was fine pre Mercury party

Saw them at their rescheduled show at the Sheffield Arena last night and they really are an awesome live band. Fantastic gig with an amazing atmosphere. You know you are in the presence of greatness when they put on a superb show without playing such stellar songs as 505, When The Sun Goes Down, View From The Afternoon etc.. Such a back catalogue to choose from after just 7 years in the business.

On reflection, I would have preferred them to drop Old Yellow Bricks from the set list (never been a favourite of mine) and play 505 or When The Sun Goes Down instead. Would have been the perfect gig then. But an amazing gig all the same and Turner is a 'proper' singer/frontman these days. And the new songs sound incredible live (although they do have more 'help' these days in the form of an extra guitarist/keyboard player as well as the occasional appearance from both Tom Rowley from Milburn and Bill Ryder-Jones from The Coral. Plus, bizarrely, a bloke standing at the very end of the stage who simply plays the tambourine on virtually every song!). BTW, Turner is a very underrated guitarist. Bloke can really play (and sing at the same time!).

Yeah, the Sheffield gig was great. Alex Turner has improved massively as a front man, even since the Suck It And See era. He's a lot more animated now.
It's ridiculous the amount of songs they've got that would be great live, they could pretty much do a whole setlist of stuff they didn't play! Knee Socks I Want It All The View From The Afternoon Fake Tales of San Francisco When The Sun Goes Down A Certain Romance 505 Secret Door The Fire and The Thud Dance Little Liar She's Thunderstorms Black Treacle Hellcat Spangled Shalalala Library Pictures Piledriver Waltz Suck It and See That's Where You're Wrong That's 17 songs just off the top of my head that I'd be quite happy for them to play and that doesn't include any b-sides! |
