Both bands are indisputably great but there's no denying that AM is better. First of all, you've got Alex's lyricism, then there's Matt's drumming and Nick's bass. Then there's their diversity, each of their album is unique and different than the others, the same can't be said for the Kooks. However, Luke is a great songwriter and Hugh's a god on the guitar, so the Kooks aren't that far behind.
from a strictly musical point of view arctic monkeys are miles ahead of the kooks. the kooks have a few good catchy songs, but that's about it. they don't ever dare to push the envelope and they've been doing the same thing for three years, it gets old. arctic monkeys, on the other hand, keep coming up with new surprising material and keep evolving into new styles and themes. it's always so refreshing. and don't get me started on alex's lyrics. that's just my opinion.
Humbug, while still good, is nowhere near as well written. Suck it and see is just bland and brick by brick might be the worst song they've ever written. Am is as by the books and commercially pleasing an album can get. Tranquility base is good

I love The Kooks really but AM is better absolutely ^^
I like how in all the arguing in the comments, no one's addressing the "Alex was off his face" comment in the video because it's generally accepted by all AM fans xD (I'm an AM fan too, I'm not talking shit about him)
Both bands are unblievably excellent in different ways and id never put them against each other and compare, im so jealous of how good it must be to be in such a good band
I definitely love both of them. Without a doubt they're in my top 5, and the only reason I can't say for sure which one I prefer is that they play completely different styles of music. Each band comes with its own mood and gives me the chills in a unique way. There's no need to argue which is better, let alone a legitimate reason
The video title fucks this up! It's not about which band beeing better...Luke is only explaining the overhyped situation between himself and Alex.... Two amazing british bands! Love them both dearly!
Geez, sounds like the press and the Arctic Monkeys fans are the ones who made a huge deal out of the guitar thing. Get over it, cause so did Alex and Luke. And stop comparing them, they're both great bands.
They´re more famous. Alex´s lyrics are better. But Luke is better singer and Hugh is better guitarist than Jamie. Yes, AM and Kooks are indie. But they play different music. I love both bands but Kooks more. :D
@Teddy505Picker what? Junk Of The Heart is very different, melodically the tone and way it's written is completely different! Completely disagree with you there.
Hey! All bands are equal. Don't bag on other bands because you like another better. I admit I like Muse better, but I still like all bands equally. We all have different opinions. I you don't want to see equally the least you can do is respect them by not calling them names. That is just low and immature!
God this is so great, my favourite band is AM, but I adore The Kooks as well. I love Hugh's posh laugh, holy shit I cried of laughter. Both times he laughed in that way! Genius. I love him. Luke is a bit of a prick, though.
The Kooks talk about the Arctic Monkeys but the Monkeys don't talk about the Kooks. (Unless of course they're dispelling claims) Just seems like the Kooks are jealous.
they do pop music, but definitely they're not one direction, That they do pop music does not make it bad, there is pop music that has its effort though
I've seen both live and the kooks are better, the AM fan base has just turned into soft-grunge wannabe indie twelvies that think they're edgy because they like "why'd you only call me when you're high"
Having seen both live too, I can honestly say the Arctic monkeys are on a whole new level. The people that go see them range from 14 year olds to 70 year olds, and everyone knows all the words so it’s just a massive sing song. Great atmosphere and the band are hilarious and charming on stage. Compared to that, the kooks seem a bit closed off and mediocre.
@COREYMCGUIRE1993 not probably, I'm sure - definitely! :) I'm sorry for the Kooks, but I guess they're just angry at the Monkeys and Alex because they're better ... ;) (don't take this comment personal - please, it's just my humble opinnion)
@Seoser17 it just doesn't seem like the kooks have changed or matured much since the beginning of their career. I mean look at Whatever People Say I am to Humbug, dramatic difference. I'm pretty confident they will soon be forgotten due to this. And Turner is a genius and probably the best songwriter of our time. But then again I hate the kooks and I'm completely biased so my opinion doesn't matter much haha
the arctic monkeys, at the time, was so successful, they had one of the best albums in british history and it made so much more monkey. the arctic monkeys are just better
I don't care about rivalries. They're inevitable. All I care about is that both these bands have made it where they are today using their own talents and they are both freaking epic
The Kooks carried down the same road where as Arctic Monkeys tried different things and lost fans but also gained new ones! Even though I love Humbug and Suck It and See... I wish they stuck with the FWN sound and lyrics. Kooks are awesome and underrated.
Both are great bands, I hate the childish rivalry that people start. You are obviously entitled to prefer one band or the other but like Luke said, it's just the media stirring things up.
Ive never listened to Arctic Monkey but i've been a fan of the kooks for about 8 years now and I wouldnt want to listen to anyone but the kooks their music style is so unique and puts me in a great mood. Arctic Monkey' music is just over played. You cant blame the kooks for not caring solely for their fame like AM
If you're looking at depth lyrically and vocally the kooks definitely have wider range, I honestly feel that AM is appealing because of how they diguise shallow lyrics as insight, but hey who am I
One area where the kooks cannot touch AM is the lyric. It's not a matter of subjectivity too, listen to wpsiatwim, favourite worst nightmare and humbug. I guarantee you will have a different opinion after that.
I HATE THINGS LIKE THIS. They decide to make each bands hate each other with this silly question. They are both brilliant and talented. Fuck, the Arctic Monkeys shouldn't even be compared to these guys, they make different music anyways.
@VicRattlehead79 You should see them, you´re losing your time, I saw them in Mexico and was the best live performance, In my opinion you have to see them in live.
To all the people who are saying that the monkeys are in a different league: They only had the first two records that were good after that they only released garbage... and anyway the Strokes are the Kings Of them all!!
The Frozen Deserts Humbug and TBH+C are by far their best albums in my opinion, AM is on WPSITWN and FWN level and Even tho Suck and See is by far their worst, it's still a solid record, The Kooks first album is good, while the rest is average at best
I think they're both great bands, though I personally listen to The Kooks a lot more. Might have something to do with the sexiness that is Luke Pritchard..
I love both bands, but the lyrical skill of Alex Turner sets it straight for me makes it definite
This comment doesn't age well
@@pepzd8076yes it did. No one knows who the kooks are anymore
Both bands are indisputably great but there's no denying that AM is better. First of all, you've got Alex's lyricism, then there's Matt's drumming and Nick's bass.

that's just my opinion.
Both great bands so screw the rivalry.
agreed
Ahahahah the Kooks CANNOT compare to AM
+Cynthia M Eh. I think The Kooks are better live. In my opinion, Luke's voice is more appealing than Alex's.
+Cynthia M They're both great bands. Some people will like one and some will like the other.
Alex Turner is such a brilliant vocalist. He's much better, in my opinion.
in terms of success yes, but the music is as good as AM
Steffighter144 musically, AM are better.
Their lead guitarist seems like the chilliest dude.
He’s also the most incredible guitarist! No kooks without him.
man, there's no comparison between am and the kooks. the first one is the greatest band from 00's, the second one is just ok
Lucas Matheus de Souza I think you forgot about the strokes
mb1213 yeah haha i prefer arctic monkeys but i have to admit that Strokes is more important
You shut your mouth rn. Am fell off after their second album and you know it
@@dekuscrubbed1411 that's just your point of view
Humbug, while still good, is nowhere near as well written. Suck it and see is just bland and brick by brick might be the worst song they've ever written. Am is as by the books and commercially pleasing an album can get. Tranquility base is good
I love The Kooks really but AM is better absolutely ^^
Never. Alex turner is the most poser singer ever
@@elvismata8791 what do you mean?
I like how in all the arguing in the comments, no one's addressing the "Alex was off his face" comment in the video because it's generally accepted by all AM fans xD (I'm an AM fan too, I'm not talking shit about him)
RHCP1997 also most brits are usually off their faces, so no one probably sees an issue
That's a bit too far, there both great song writer's, in my opinion, Alex is better, but Luke isn't far behind, and Hugh is one hell of a guitarist.
luke is about 94,000 years behind
U see Alex Turner then their lead singer and I think from that u know who would win a fight or Matt then their drummer
Two of my favourite bands, ah stop pls
"I did not kick, I just pushed his face with my foot" xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
WatchMojo helping prove Luke's point that the media hypes "conflict" in a negative direction...
alex's lyrics + luke's melodies + hughs guitar + Matts Drums = great band
I really love both bands ... they are different!! and I love their beat!
Both bands are unblievably excellent in different ways and id never put them against each other and compare, im so jealous of how good it must be to be in such a good band
lol “it’s just the media!” nah dude you totally just lied about kicking alex in the face to the media and then they reported on it
“it can get misconstrued” this guy sucks
I definitely love both of them. Without a doubt they're in my top 5, and the only reason I can't say for sure which one I prefer is that they play completely different styles of music. Each band comes with its own mood and gives me the chills in a unique way. There's no need to argue which is better, let alone a legitimate reason
I like them both, not gonna take a side, some songs are good others not so much.
"I didn't kick him in the head, I pushed his face with my foot" ...wtf?
funny how he suddenly denies that he booted Alex in the face, but actually 'pushed' his face with his foot. tough talk
i reckon matt could have them ALL just by himself
I dont get why everyone is arguing and bashing on the kooks they are both amazing bands
Hmm..maybe its because they have opinions
"Get off my guitar cable dude" Hahahah
The video title fucks this up! It's not about which band beeing better...Luke is only explaining the overhyped situation between himself and Alex....
Two amazing british bands! Love them both dearly!
This is by far the least attractive band to ever walk this planet
Attractiveness does not equate brilliance. FYI
Just look at Albert Einstein 😂
Dude it's 2017 how late were you to this
You're so wrong
Lol k
‘I kicked him in the face’ when Alex hears ‘I slightly nudged him’
SHE HAS A FACE
Geez, sounds like the press and the Arctic Monkeys fans are the ones who made a huge deal out of the guitar thing. Get over it, cause so did Alex and Luke. And stop comparing them, they're both great bands.
I'm probably going to get roasted but I like both...sorry
a cmmon guys... luce is only joking... if he really thinks, that AM sucks, why would he made covers of them ?
when i heard about al doing that i laughed because he's just so darn cute! i can imagine his cheeky butt doing this and its adorable!! he's so silly.
wait, why the fuck is there a rivalry between these two, they're both amazing, can't we all be friends ;-;
im a long time fan of AM and im pretty new to the kooks after friend introduced me to them , but i really love this competitive behaviour of the kooks
Two of the best bands in the world. Love them both. I like Arctic Monkeys a bit more.
Alex Turner>Luke Pritchard
I Dont Care who he kicks Luke Pritchard Is my god !!!
I love The Kooks !!!
Hahaha!...exactly...he is both angel and little devil...i love luke
.so straightforward...
I care and his name is alex turner and he deserved it the smashed little man
@ianarmanufc Completely agree with this comment . But the Kooks have mixed it up in their new album , and Im a fan they have not lost :)
Artic monkeys are way better than the kooks
So this what Noel was talking about when he said music even indie/rock is now middle class, bands like this.
They seem like decent lads tbf though.
Even though he doesn't really act like it,,,,,Luke seems to be rather intelligent..He just would rather goof off than be really serious.
Who even listens to the kooks?
I do :(
They´re more famous.
Alex´s lyrics are better. But Luke is better singer and Hugh is better guitarist than Jamie.
Yes, AM and Kooks are indie. But they play different music. I love both bands but Kooks more. :D
VD VBRSFK "they're more famous-luke is a better singer" HAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAH no
yoipurt
Nobody
VD VBRSFK alex vocals shits all over luke's, sorry but thats the truth
Look how cute the guitarist is_! Awwww
Both bands are fucking great, just shut up. Live and let live. Luke said himself that him and Alex were cool after their incident.
He looks like a right pratt
@Teddy505Picker what? Junk Of The Heart is very different, melodically the tone and way it's written is completely different! Completely disagree with you there.
1:28 *Hugh prepares to speak* Nope, Luke wants to
to each his/her own. both are great and different.
Hey! All bands are equal. Don't bag on other bands because you like another better. I admit I like Muse better, but I still like all bands equally. We all have different opinions. I you don't want to see equally the least you can do is respect them by not calling them names. That is just low and immature!
Just for the record, the kooks didn’t kick Alex turner in the face when he pulled out his lead
God this is so great, my favourite band is AM, but I adore The Kooks as well. I love Hugh's posh laugh, holy shit I cried of laughter. Both times he laughed in that way! Genius. I love him. Luke is a bit of a prick, though.
People think they are arctic money fans but only listen to AM
The Kooks talk about the Arctic Monkeys but the Monkeys don't talk about the Kooks.
(Unless of course they're dispelling claims)
Just seems like the Kooks are jealous.
They're really just two different bands and really two GREAT bands. that's just it
"Sort of pushed his face with my foot" XD
i love AM. BUT they have changed waaaaay too much from what they originally are. the kooks are keeping it real a bit more. love them both tho
Both bands are good.
The Kooks are awesome live!
I still need to see AM.
I think the kooks lead singer is so full of himself and cocky lol
The Kooks are the best band in the world. They aren´t the most famous band but their music is fucking awesome!
Sadam Johanes They are basically One Direction though..
they do pop music, but definitely they're not one direction, That they do pop music does not make it bad, there is pop music that has its effort though
You're literally watching a video that has the name of the best band in the world, and you didn't even mention them
They’re boooooth good. different but love them both. 😍
I've seen both live and the kooks are better, the AM fan base has just turned into soft-grunge wannabe indie twelvies that think they're edgy because they like "why'd you only call me when you're high"
Clorox Bleach But most AM fans aren't like that. What can you say about being edgy with a username like that?
DownCast pahaha you’re so right

they`re so beautiful
In my opinion both are great bands. But, I LOVE The Kooks. They're my favorite.
I pushed his face with my foot... hahahah Luke you're awesome

Luke
"i can see it could get misconstrued" dude you literally said I KICKED HIM IN THE FACE I’m-
He is trying to back track what a bell end
So glad he set that straight! I love them both
Both amazing bands! :D
0:45 He has the Liam Gallagher head!
The Kooks are the greatest band out there at the moment, nothing compares to them.
the arctic monkeys, at the time, was so successful, they had one of the best albums in british history and it made so much more monkey. the arctic monkeys are just better
Is there a video of Alex pulling Luke's lead out?
I don't care about rivalries. They're inevitable. All I care about is that both these bands have made it where they are today using their own talents and they are both freaking epic
Why can't we all just get along?!!
Will someone please think of the children!
"I sort of pushed his face with my foot."
Finally i saw the face of the person behind mojo's voice lol
Alex Turner and the cocaine part 9000- jkjk
i love BOTH bands...
3rd album! Thought they were a ohw. Saw them live. Luke couldnt look at the crowd the sad geek. No rockstar...
Kooks shouldn’t be in the same planet to AM let alone the same breath. Nor should anyone for that matter.
BEST BAND!
Seen both live both amazing!!!
lol, so very glad you haven't taken my ramblings too seriously :)
very awesome band i liked ... !!
The Kooks carried down the same road where as Arctic Monkeys tried different things and lost fans but also gained new ones! Even though I love Humbug and Suck It and See... I wish they stuck with the FWN sound and lyrics. Kooks are awesome and underrated.

The first sentence invalidated your argument
Look who has an opinion of AM without ever listening to them. How do you know they’re just concerned with fame?
If you're looking at depth lyrically and vocally the kooks definitely have wider range, I honestly feel that AM is appealing because of how they diguise shallow lyrics as insight, but hey who am I
+Mike Carter You're wrong that's who you are !
well, someone has clearly only heard songs from the most recent two albums haha
Am has really good lyrics, and there is only so deep you can get in indie right?
The Kooks have better lyrics tbh
One area where the kooks cannot touch AM is the lyric.
It's not a matter of subjectivity too, listen to wpsiatwim, favourite worst nightmare and humbug.
I guarantee you will have a different opinion after that.
luke and hugh... are like frodo and sam....
Both bands are brilliant enough to say.

Love Luke's socks
They interviewed the actual kooks
