THE GUARDIAN - As new album AM is released, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner tells Harriet Gibsone about his 50 Cent fantasies, and drummer Matt Helders explains why the band have gone 'sexy' after resisting the urge for so long. The arrangements and production of several new tracks are 'inspired by the architecture of R&B', says Turner 'but I wouldn't want to live there'.
"No, I don't think so..." - Alex Turner, in every interview ever
Its incredible how Alex is so orally weak talking with someone in a conversation, but, at the same time, he has a perfect, impeccable diction, when he is singing. For example, when he sings at a rapid pace he does not leave a word or a syllable behind (Teddy Picker, R u Mine, This House is a Circus, etc.). In terms of diction, he is one of the best vocalists i´ve ever heard in my life. Its kind of ironic.
Honestly, I think he is high as hell. If you look at the most recent interview with him (the BBC one), he talks way better and more interestingly, but in this interview he just looks high out of his damn mind
@@jooolius I think that's because he became a better speaker overall. If you watch any of his interviews before 2018 he's the same way. I don't think he's high I think that's just how he talks.
Ashton Mathew but if you watch some other recent interviews it seems like he’s stoned. I don’t think it’s because he got better at speaking
@@ashtonmathew6576 lol look at his eyes at the side of his glasses
@@jooolius lol stop he's not high
Harriet: "AM is probably your most experimental album yet."
Alex: "Hold my rocket ship grease."
biRd
Lol
Omg totallyyyyy! 😅😅😅
I’vE gOt A sEaGuLl MeChAnIc, An’ ShE’s TrYnA gIvE mE ViTaMiNs
she sounds so nervous, and like too innocent for the things shes saying
well fuck I would be too if I was in the presence of alex turner 😂😂

"If that comes on your shuffle, just try and skip it. I dare you."
Exactly.
"What's your sexuality?"
Alex Turner
Alex Turner is the lovechild of John Lennon and an Italian man from the 50s
Guys, he is not high. He's awkward. Get it right. Still great!
***** The same reason Mitch Hedberg did... Wait, nevermind...
***** Who knows...style?
And also in the video part of WYOCMWYH they ask him if he enjoyed acting and Matthew is like "Were you acting?"
***** Omg I can't believe I found you in the UA-cam comments!!
Aliya Seymour lol! So true!!
lets see how quietly we can talk.....
This interview is like watching a live therapy session.
so true.
I like it ! Is not that bad
matt: "Were you acting?" lol
Interviewing Alex Turner has to be one of the most intimidating things to do ever.
I would actually melt
"I don't think so."
"Somethings are better left alone huh?" 6:08 oh his voice 😩
I diiiieed, so sexy
WOAH WHAT
OMG IM DYING😫😫😫😫
So hot!!!
OH MY GOSH
01:16 to 01:20 is literally all of alex's interviews in a 4 seconds
Oh my god that's so true!
+netflixer honey I'm seeing you everywhere I love it
+Jennifer Agee thanks, i guess xD
The interviewer is a real cutie
"Sunglasses indoors, par for the course"
he's hiding the red eye from smoking far too much weed.
Holyshit your comment is so funny
did you enjoy acting ?
were you acting ?
Alex dresses like he's straight out of the 50s and I love it. Time traveling through his clothes and music
alex is so awkward during interviews i love it
guys lets be honest one sec, try look everywhere, and find me one single interview, or any situation where alex is talking, and tell me if he sounds any different from this. can he possibly be drunk or high every single time? or is it more possible that he is just like that? uh? get over it
deez135 nuatz maybe he was high then!
The music industry is a scary place, I can’t name one person who doesn’t do drugs or at least smokes/drinks alcohol to get over the pressure and the stress. I love the Monkeys and i hope Alex is taking care, he looks like he’s on cocaine in most interviews because he wasn’t like this in earlier interviews, although some people say he’s just awkward, y’know?
Lizzie Wunn it’s just his way of talking, he think a lot before speaking and that explains why he’s such a great lyricist. He has also mentioned that if he didn’t make it with the band, he would’ve done a major on literature or something like that
why does it look like there gettin an interview from fuckin downtown abbey
IKR? Exactly my thoughts
craig199 😂😂😂
I just want alex to narrate everything that I do.
"We've had a wonderful summer haven't we Matthew" haha sarcastic pair aren't they.
interviewer: would you think of going to the rap industry? (something like that)
alex: no. no.. i dont think so.. i ca-.. i mean can you imagine
me: LOL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
1:06 - I absolutely love the answer from Alex after the interviewer asks if they will ever venture into Rap."...........No."
“We’ve had a wonderful summer haven’t we Matthew” has got to be one of the most rock n roll things I’ve ever heard
He always calls the interviewers by their names its pretty cute but he always seems kinda awkward or just really out of it in interviews. He's more with it in real life haha
Yes! He's an awkward guy. He acts like that in every interview. I don't really think he's stoned. But who knows?
I know I think that is just his personality. I mean I'm sure he is stoned some of the time but for the most part thats just how he is haha
and by stoned i mean just pot. I really don't think alex does heavy drugs, or i may just being naive.
dorothy Nunez he does cocaine without a doubt
On a scale from 1 to Alex Turner how hungover are you
A bit of an Alex Turner actually, but maybe a 9.
He looks so stoned
Caitlin Taylor he's just awkward
Alex and i havent even been drinkong i just feel like shit
@@megantaylor2345 he’s just from sheffield
I thought AM was a reference to the Band's initials but also Amplitude Modulation, hence their use of a sinusoidal wave on their cover
they're both very intelligent. alex's comparisions and word choice are very very well thought out
Yeah that’s why he takes so long to form a sentence
I love how it's just like a normal conversation and not all interview-y. Alex is so chill XD. Haha, and how he calls him Matthew.
I love Alex's habit of calling interviewers by their first name so casually and acting like they're good friends lol. And I love how he doesn't shorten names or anything.
Matt and him are adorable here.
"We wanted to borrow from the architecture of contemporary R&B. I don't want to live there necessarily."
Statements like that are why this man's an artist. It's all about evolution, baby :)
Not only he got his point across about his feelings towards r&b and sound evolution, as you mark, but he also made a pun about building stuff. Not so sure about him not being a comedian
Apparently he was the design head for stage set of his Car tour too
He's hella creative
Alex isn't high that's just how he is. Leave him alone. Just looking for the right words to say.
I admire their talent so much and hope they feel admired
I could listen to Alex's voice all day. 😍
Bloody hell, what is everyone on about with this interviewer? Just because she's talking in a low volume, and wears rather arty clothes doesn't mean she's too shy and doesn't deserve to interview them. Plus maybe it's just hear rather posh accent? Then again, every accent sounds posh compared to Mats's and Alex' Yorkshire. Just leave her alone.
AM = Alex & Matt
mihihihi
He is such an introvert you can tell. As an introvert, getting out words, although had gotten better over the years, is still kinda difficult. That's why he doesn't have social media, and he barely feature in any of AM's music videos (except some) It's all Matthew :)))
I like this interview, the questions aren't like every other question from other am interviews and alex seems a little more invested in answering this one
They're almost whispering throughout the interview. I think it's it's an efect from the interviewers quiet, innocent nature, you can see how Alex picks it up and mirrors that.. a thing I think a lot of artists temd to do
I'll have what Alex Turner is having
his sunglasses
he’s British 😭😭
His fucking voice omg 😍
"Did that help you channel in your inner sexiness?" Omg
Why'd you only interview me when you're high?
1:33 The Car foreshadowing.
It’s so funny to me that Matt just put him on the spot by asking if he was acting😭✋
he sounds always so weird... but so different and unique... I don't really know what to think about him... I LOVE their music!! and I love his smile!
amazing interview, such a calming and relaxing voice coming out of everyones mouth
this is fucking class!!! 'how to do a good interview'. BE YOURSELF #HIGH #FUCKED
3:37
"Hips" hahahaha
Still laughing HAHAHHAHAHAHA
.
I've watched this so many times.
guys, why do they only interview you when you're high?
Because he's always high
Wow this interview is so calm.
Knee socks? Really? What about Pretty Visitors, From The Ritz To The Rubble? These would give him more Street Cred than flippin'n Knee Socks
Gongasoso Or what about "Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend" where they actually feature Dizzy Rascal?
They are talking about AM though
But i agree
And teddy picker
Your lyrics are very deep on this one falling in love falling out of love and texting . as a musician you have won all the awards and played Wembley other than creating more music what else is there to achieve . Absolute pearls of wisdom
He's not drunk, he's from Sheffield!
The way he whispered "somethings are better left alone" and then the question and comeback right after that he said was 🔥🔥🔥
Alex is not an asshole, he's just a weird kind of person, he's not the usual everyday dude, neither is Matt. But they're not bad, they're both cool guys.
Man this band has the best fans
Oh those two babes.😍
fuuuu he's got a point. i can't ever skip any AM songs on Pandora.
congratz!
the interviewer is so beautiful🥺
Alex Turner in every interview: If I pretend not to be here will people stop asking me questions?
it seems tha is a therapy session
i love you alex turner omfg
Honestly my inspiration for music is this band
Seems like she doesn't know much about am considering the fact that she asked about alex being a rapper in the future, and asking if they would have a comedian open up for them 😂
Shes on fire!!
This girl is way to shy and prude for these topics xD
Flying Dutchman let's be honest here, sat in from of them two I think anyone would be giddy and shy.
TOO, not to.
You speaketh the truth!
did she literally say that the album was hip hop/r&b
Its rock
ily Matt
He obviously isn't stoned or drunk. Just chaneling his inner awkward lad which he really is. Even during concerts he feels a bit awkward every now and then. I mean, them dance moves he has... he looks like any awkward guy trying to dance and act a bit sexy. And in all fairness, it works, haha.
I can hear voice this woman for hours and hours..
Well, I am too a massive fan, man :) and I love every aspect of their career, because I'm a fan of various music genres and I can tell you, this album is in no way boring, maybe just uninteresting for someone who isn't up to the genre, but it's actually got the most exciting beats I've ever heard of them.
I am so in love with Matt Helders it hurts
I haven't noticed this before but.. Matt has beautiful eyes
i don't know if he's high, or if he's always like that
Funny how stoned they are...... I have that same look on my face right now!
"HIPS." HAHAHA THAT WAS OUT OF NO WHERE. These two were high as fuck omfg
Could Alex be any higher during the interview?
Thought it was supposed to be like AM in reference to AM radio considering their album cover which has audio waves on it, but it still makes a lot of sense to have it be the band name with audio waves.
They keep indie aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !
I love how when he got quiet she got quiet
I love how he pronounces perhaps as "p-raps", I apologize if this is too normal for british people, but I'm from Brazil and for me is so cute
i love how some of their answers are so random and outrageous you can actually see her squirm asking the next question like 'oh god here we go' :')
he sometimes sounds like zayn and also his accent
Verah Pört dislike bc One Direction
Eli Parsons I'm with Eli on this one
do i care? no
Do I care that you don't care? no.
I typed zayn on google, and I saw that he was a member of one direction. We do not compare god (and my husband) to one of those horrible creatures that are 1D.
Matt's such a cheeky monkey
I love Matt
2:51 I live for that laugh ♥️
its Arabella where he sings fast.........................
nope... she meant the chorus when the four of them sing "you and me could have been a team..."
+Luis Aranda that's not exactly fast is it ......
yes, it is
Pretty sure it's Matt that sings that bit and not Alex anyway..
exactly its Arabella ,she got it wrong
This girl is in love with Alex
Who's not?♥️
Lol ive been so in to this band lately and i noticed frontman alex looked like he hadjus smoked the sht
Alex Turner, you smoooooooth man!
Nice guys
They both nailed her that night. She screamed.
Seria fantástico si subieran las entrevistas traducidas al español
he doesn't want to sound like 50 cent 'in da club' he wants their songs to have the same affect
