Alex is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation, if you disagree I direct you to "Kiss me under the moon's sideboob"
Jamie came up with that particular lyric though I heard alex say in some interview..
No Jamie went "ooh look the moon looks like a boobie from the side lmao"

His bird says it's amazing though
So all that's left
Is the proof that loves not only blind but deaf
THE BEST
I love how Alex talks about "the arrival of the piano" like it just materialized in his studio one day
If I don't remember entirely incorrectly, he was given a piano from someone, which is alluded to when he says that particular thing. :)
So cute to see him grow up. Imagine Alex from 2006 sitting beside him here, it‘s two completely different people
Yes
Alex from 2006 would give him a clip round the back of his head
not me crying at 2am😭
yess but stupid ppl still say that al and the guys should go back to making "real rock like 2006 again"
THEY CAN'T SEE THE GLOW UP, the guys can't be same after 15 years
@@beyxturner exactly...makes me so sad when people say that this is not the real him...wtf they talk like they know him.
This is probably the most professional interview I've ever seen him in. He seems eager to talk and is very comfortable with the interviewer. Well done.
Annie Mac's a really cool person. Sadly she's retired from BBC this year.
Not a hopeless American interviewer in sight
He looks pretty sober and lucid here. 😮 That's a good thing.
He seems incredibly shy, pretty crazy for a stage performer
It doesn’t really have to do with performance. It’s a way of escaping and being ur self for artists
Bowie was shy and he did the crazyest things on stage
Jessica Very true
@@jessica5497 yeah and freddie too
@@jessica5497 same with eddie vedder. he was CRAZY when performing but he’s a very reserved and quiet person irl
im proud to say that this is the man im in love with
why your everywhere 😭😭😭😧😧😧😧😧
@@n12214 LMAOOO pls i keep getting that
Love you boo go drink some water though ok 😘✌
@@sophiesamuels7196 no i drink too much don’t encourage me

The more I listen to this album, the more I realize that Turner is a genius.
True
❤️🤟🏼🧩🥰🙃😘❣️

Arctic Monkeys*
@@AstroSully They can all be genius in their own way. but these songs are basically all from Alex. Especially on the last record discussed here. He showed them to the band and they filled in the sound. This is how a ton of their music is made. So I don't think it's too crazy to highlight that he's a genius to many people, in terms of lyrics and songwriting
I just want to hug him after this interview
When I first listened to Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino I absolutely hated it beyond words, I was so sad and angry at the change from the cool Rock & Roll style they had in AM. But then I gave it a chance and I swear the more you listen to it and the more you understand the meaning of it, the lyrics and the theme it tries to create you realize it's a Masterpiece. An absolute Masterpiece. That album is something more mature and deeper that requires a bit of time to grow on you. But when it does it's really something else I promise. Alex you're a bloody genius mate, much love 🖤
IANGYC in terms of sound, it’s their worst, but lyrics, oh man it’s beautiful
Hail Hydra I never said it sucks, imo, it’s their worst sounding album
IANGYC yeah I agree with you... but I’d never complain if that “cool rock and roll” returns.
imma disagree with the other replies here, I absolutely love every aspect of the newest album after listening to it a second time
I hate it more .shite
This man has my deepest respect. As someone with Aspergers and ADHD, I relate a lot to Alex. Now I’m not sure if he actually has either of those diagnoses, but I feel a commonality at some level. The awkwardness, long pauses, and masked humbleness. Tranquility base has been my mental escape from harsher days for some years now. Wish I could thank him.
I also feel the same when I see Alex in interviews. I mean, here is a guy who writes fabulous lyrics and times the words well in his songs, but on the other hand here is the same guy struggling for words while speaking in a casual interview. It's like he's on the spectrum and yet he's still not. Really intriguing.
I feel like it has more to do with anxiety (but what do I know) (ps I'm autistic myself too)
He hasnt got either of those would you fuck off
I totally understand.im so greatful to get my diagnosis soon now and I feel like I can look up to him in a way that I can't with other people.seenig him unmask is so empowering and I feel like I shouldn't care what other people think. He has made me found my true identity and make friends in a fanbase as respectful as this.as I find it hard to relate to people my school. I can empathise the amount of overwhelming feeling talking one to one but infront of cameras.poor soul. PS I'm glad I found this comment ❤
This has nothing to do with anything but god DAMN he is attractive.
@@anfibisimo no he isn’t
@@anfibisimo he is not ugly what are you talking about
@@anfibisimo lmao what a funny joke
@@andreea2460 mans insecure
he looks pretty good but people overrate him a bit imo
I am so grateful that the songwriter of my generation is this man.

Same
He goes off on the longest tangents. I could listen to him all day
ua-cam.com/video/tICUyhZ5YD4/v-deo.html
He has such a calm vibe, and i thinks that he is very comfortable with Annie cuz he's body languages are mirroing hers. I think that Alex has such a brillant mind that is kind of hard to express what he wants to say.
“at ‘OME”
He’s so Yorkshire
He’s from Sheffield...
Sheffield is in South Yorkshire, no...?
@@miasilva3377 Last time I checked Sheffield was in Yorkshire
Yup Sheffield is Yorkshire!
As someone who’s from a similar area to him, the fact that the Sheffield accent has still stuck around brings me a lot of joy :)
“Has your dad heard it, is he into it”
“Aye he thinks it’s alrite”😂
A Genius. A true genius.
Alex is so hot.
-was-
*is*
Oh look a woman sexualising a music artist. Disgusting.
@@itistime467 ok
you can hear intelligence in his voice
I kinda hope he does another album and tour with Miles, he seems his best genuine/loose self with him.
Turner has a way with words when he writes a song and those get etched on your soul. Love the Arctic Monkeys.

This album is already a top 5 this year, his songwriting and the way the instruments are put together is so beautiful. I understand if you don’t like the album, but you have to respect how beautiful it sounds
You mean boring and spaced out. You'd think a band as technically skilled at their instruments would, y'know, use them to create a memorable moment, instead of this samey sounding trash. Listened to the whole album three times, and it legit could not tell one song from the other.
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST your supposed to feel spaced and and get lost in the lyrics and music, don’t have a mindset of “oh this is going to be another am and it’s going to have lots of guitars and drums” when this album is more of a book we’re you use your mind and picture what he’s saying instead of looking for hits
javi torres not looking for hits, just looking for good music. Hell, 90% or their B-sides are better than this shit
THE BRAIN SPECIALIST ok man we’ll it’s fine that you don’t like it, good thing there’s other music you can listen to that are up to your standards 👍
ua-cam.com/video/tICUyhZ5YD4/v-deo.html
He’s so gorgeous
Alex's definitely becoming more articulate in his interviews or discussions with interviewee's.
El es muy inteligente, ahora ha madurado mucho y se nota en su discurso en cualquier entrevista, es un genio en las palabras !
Laughing at the amount of people who cant understand his yorkshire accent
Ethan Commons he’s from Sheffield
@@scottoldroyd9116 oh wow..
Scott Oldroyd
You smart lad
I can somehow understand it.
I can barely understand anything and this really makes me question my English skills 😂
Kinda angers me that people didn't like this album cz TBHC defines what a great song lyricist Turner is and what a long way he has come as a vocalist, furthermore it illustrates how far they have come as a band and it was pretty obvious from their previous albums that no album of theirs was gonna sound similar to their previous ones and Tranquility Base was just an explosion but it's about time people understand that this album is a masterpiece.
"Me dad" , that's so cute idk why..
bein able to understand his accent is a gift
I love how real he seems in this video. It’s like you just popped in for a visit and wanted to ask some questions and he sat there and answered them. It did make ma laugh a lot. Especially when his eyes get wide (rubbing his eye is a nervous tick maybe) and every time he says the name of the French studio he sounds like he’s being sarcastic. It’s hilarious. Can’t wait to see them in my city. Yes, the new album has a completely different vibe and sound that I was NOT expecting but as I’ve been listening to it I’ve sort of slipped into the mindset that they were in while making the record. It’s also, in my opinion, more mature and like they’re growing up and moving away from certain aspects of their old life that we glimpsed from the old lyrics.
17:37 he didn't remember until now hahaha
I actually never was an Arctic Monkeys fan until TBH+C. I always thought they were decent but TBH+C just blew me away in a way I didnt know these guys were caoable of.
James Butko me too
when i first saw him he looked so HANDSOME with that rockstar look I thought he would be an asshole But he is so nice wth i wanna cry
Now I think he is an artist and genius after I listened this album.
This’s my favorite album of Arctic Monkeys.
the interviewer looks concerned everytime the camera pans to her lmao
This lady has been waiting to ask him questions for a while you can tell haha badass
Alex you’re so fabulously northern xxxxx
she looking at him like he's a snack
Sakina Hassan he does look and sound a bit like her husband
Wait ur telling me he's not a snack?-
He is a snack but also pause at 3:44
it took me time to get into this track, but now im soo in love with it, thanks to Alex for what he creates!
It's really interesting when you go through those old videos (like 2006 and so) where the whole AM were small cute beans, kind of surprised by the success. Then the Humbug era, later on SIAS with bikers, greaser hairdo and leather jackets, going into coked up (describing my feeling of it, not necessarily intoxication but then what do I know, it wouldn't change the way I listen to the music anyway) badass AM album... Not to leave out TLSP2 and Alex's flamboyant stage alter-ego.
How such great changes can happen so fast, in music, style, the way a person talks and performs on stage.
This interview seems like the sincerest one since around 2011. As if Alex tried these different personas, found out it's really not all that great and sort of came back around :)
i love Monkeys...cheers from Argentina
Alex is really reminding me of Thom York in this interview. Based on what I've gathered through his words, it would appear that it's becoming more and more difficult for the band to develop things that interest them all musically. New album was interesting, not my personal favorite, but I'm just hoping it doesn't take them another 6 years for their next album.
Well we’re halfway there
She asked him about how he approached telling the band and she said “who do you call” I said “the martini police”
17:50 HAHAHAHAHAH THIS IS SO FUNNY IDK WHY N O I WASNT DOING NINJA kicks..
okay I have to have this man
I love it❤️
Love his music 🎵
When he gets talking he just keeps going and going I do the same exact thing😂
Omfg he is SO DAMN mopey. Half of the time I was like “wtf is he talking about” lmao
Love him so much omg
HIS FACE WHEN SHE MENTIONED MILES PLS
It is strange that I can get every word and my train of thoughts follow because I think the same way and put the words in order as he does... when I speak. Love this
Best album of all time
Came back to hear "Piana"
There is so much to ask about but all they ask about is the ‘evolution’ of the band
Finally another band who actually changes things up every few years, only other I can think of is u2, who actually experiment instead of holding to 1 sound.
Alex's voice is probably the only voice that can turn me on
excuse me
Nice lad
24:56 tHe ACceNT WOw
What did he say?
@@nisaclkn she asks him if he looks back at the things they’ve done years ago. He says “just like youtubeing meself, huh?”
@@Sarah-gn8es thank you ❤️
@@Sarah-gn8es😂😂😂 god I love how he talks
googles: how can I be Alex's accent?
Loving the Bond villain outfit. The only man who could pull it off
Best AM record. Very interested in what's next for them.
I'm nervous every day that they're ending it. A google search has nothing. No new music or album in so long
@@BennyE456 lmfao it's only been a year u crazy fan.(jk)
@@bloopdaddy if there has been silence for this long they have to be working on something
@@bloopdaddy as long as it isnt AM2 then it will be good. I dont like AM
Benny there’s been silence because everyone is under quarantine
Despite coolness of TBHAC I think that AM and Humbug are DA BEST!
I'm American and I understand every word he's saying
Same here, could always follow their accents.. recently did a ancestry test. Had ZERO idea I was f*ckall English/British 😂 maybe that’s why
Alex Turner = how Alex Turner wants to be
So don’t go judging him ! He wasn’t born to please YOU
For the record he’s the best !!!!
And if u don’t like his new anything ur not forced to listen to it or look at it😂😂😂grow up ppl cos he did and so what ??!
Really reminds me of John Lennon! Genius musician, doesn’t like the media! ❤️
She’s a little bit in love with him, it’s so sweet
She's just trying to make him feel comfortable as he's struggling at expressing his thoughts with fluidity for the whole itw.
wrong
Yeah, ok.
Who isn't, really.
Cyrielle Word
I had a hard time to understand his accent, but I put a lot of effort into it because I already created a fanfic in my head that one fay I'll met alex and we'll talk a lot, he will adore me and we will get married. But for that come true I have to understand his accent
The sound when he speaks and sing its different..
First time and first interview I see that Alex isn't an awkward and boring person
I can't understand what he's saying, can someone help me putting a subtitle ?
BROKAMI 😂😂😂😂 really?
@@graceyhyams3684 lol i'm not native in english and his accent is killing me
1:08 oh it makes me sad...
100% Yorkshire lad !
english speaking people always say they can’t understand a word of what he said, but just imagine.. i am russian
опа русским привет
fank you anneh
Possiamo dirlo? Sheffield Napoli dell'inghilterra per quanto riguarda l'accento.
God I wanna make out with this man. He's such a genius
This man makes me question my heterosexuality every day.
This interviewer tho >>>>>>
I think he does UA-cam himself
It’s nice to see him sober again.
he's moved from the 60's beatles schoolboy look, to Barry Gibb/Abba 70s
Wow he became normal 😮
Where did the interview take place?
Cosa te ne Frega given that the instruments in the background look like the band members own, probably in their studio
00:31 he sounds so sad here :(
ALEX TURNER IS MY BROTHER. THANKS.
Rlly?
Am i wrong or do he and zayn have similar voices?
Proof the “Americanism/cocksure” 2013/14 era was all part of the character of AM. This is more like 2004 Alex. The real side of him
Lmao, her questions about how Alex went from being so shy and timid on stage to being open and ninja kicking and shit, he's like trying to find an answer that isn't just "Well, the drugs really loosen you up y'know?" Because I'm certain being on cocaine or narcotics will make you appear more care-free.
he did drugs?
Used to, idk if he still does, I know they all dropped a lot of acid during humbug era.@@sophie7811
He is/was a big coke head. Don’t know about now.
17:37 jajajaj
I can understand what he's saying.
subtitles, pliiis
There's a definitely hidden narrative here "talk about the band, not Alex"
I mean its ARCTIC MONKEYS the albums by ARCTIC MONKEYS they did it together
@@Donglover000 no, I meant:
- it was an interview with Alex, not the band
- it was widely stated Alex lead this album creatively
- at the time Alex PR was clearly about not talking about him specifically
I am a native Spanish speaker, so now I’m learning English but the British English it’s really hard to understand for me, I really love arctic monkeys but often I can’t know wtf Alex turner are saying
Alex is understandable; as an American, it was the Gallagher brothers that had me cocking my head--I needed subtitles. With due respect for Oasis.
I’m Russian, so I’d say it’s really a matter of ear training lol, I can understand him completely here
The interview is difficult to absorb at normal speed. This man’s music and lyrics are amazing so, I’m hopeful that his future interviews may also become bearable.
He look good here....
"I try not to, honey"
Its" I try not to anni "
20:46 lol
21:09 WAS THAT A FAR-
look at her face that was totally
Omg lmao
That is what I call a Queef ma lads
Is it me or does Alex bear more than a slight resemblance to Adam Driver here?
What does it mean when the interview laughs and says, “chef,” or, “chaf.”
Jambo M thank you haha
