@@chriswinter8511 I always got a hint of that. Especially when they had a brief power cut when I saw them in Poland and they just refused to come back and finish the set. It was disappointing for all of us in the crowd.
Biggest cultural impact a band had since oasis (1994) when they broke on the scene in 2005, and no band has had an impact like it since. Their first two albums in 2006 and 2007 (that these two songs are from) are absolutely legendary
“Am I looking at a village?” Nope, you’re looking at Worthy farm, a dairy farm in set in rural Somerset, that for five days every two years or so, turns into a small town with a population of 200K+ people.
I’m from just up the road, whenever I’m in Sheffield I’m always made to feel right at home. What a lovely place. And yeah, the people definitely make Sheffield what it is.
The song is about the Sheffield red light area. 'Everything changes when the sun goes down'. It's the story of a working girl's life & the scummy customers.
@@macca4610 the punters/clients/the john's (for an American reference) of the working girl/street girl. It is what the song calls them. Scummy & scumbags.
that feeling of ecstasy you get from being in a crowd like that singing along to a song you love and seeing people you really revere up on the stage is easily comparable to the feeling I know people get in huge churches when the soloist hits the high note in a banger hymn
They're practically still teenagers here. If you play the headline slot on the main stage at Glastonbury you're easily in front of 150000 people at least. I was there, they were great.
I was already in my 30's when I was looking for new music on the internet when I ran into their free demo album 'Beneath the Boardwalk', only to be downloaded. I was blown away by this bunch of 18-year olds from Sheffield singing about 18-year olds'stuff and playing with 18-year old's energy. Energetic 18-year olds that is. Only later I realized how maturely the songs were crafted, and what a mature live performers they immediately were, while having the maturity to not pose as something they were not. Nothing fake about them and the 20 somethings, 30 somethings and maybe even 40 somethings in the crowd probably appreciated that and wanted to be 18 again and start a band.
Glastonbury the Holy Grail of bands in UK Discovered Biffy Clyro there around 2012. Check out their performance of “Bubbles” from that gig. You won’t be disappointed
And the song is about prostitution!! They wrote it at and the whole of the 1st album ages 17-19. Alex turner and the drummer, Matt Helders (who is also a hip hop dj!) are the geniuses imo. My previous comment mentioned they headlined 2 outta 3 years, they've headlined again since, too. There were 70-100,000 people in that crowd-MEGA!! I saw them at Old trafford cricket ground 37,000 people sold out in 15 minutes for 2 nights in a row in 2005 just after the release of album #2. They had Amy Winehouse, the Coral and supergrass supporting. Supergrass were just behind Blur and Oasis in the 90s-try supergrass 'Alright', 'Mansize Rooster' ooh or deffo 'Caught by the fuzz'. And The Coral 'Dreamin of you' or 'In the morning', they came early 2000s and are from near Liverpool so are Beatles-esque.
The opening lines explain what the song is about. "I wonder what went wrong so that she hade to roam the streets. She don't do major credit cards, I doubt she does receipts. It's all not quite legitimate "
Best british band since Oasis in terms of the initial impact they had. Their first album is one of the best you'll hear. Brianstorm is from their second album 'Favorite Worst Nightmare. Another really good album
@@Purewalitethere was plenty of competition with the mid 2000s indie scene. The kooks, the strokes, the libertines, Babyshambles to name a few. You could even say the bigger bands at the time like green day, and they beat them all to top the charts twice
That's 200 000 people. And this is Arctic Monkeys at their best! They have said many times that they can not play this fast anyomore, this is even faster then the original and what a drummer Matt Helders is.
I did 11 Glastonbury's and I'm pretty pissed that I didn't see these lads live. The Arctic Monkeys burst onto the scene when they were so young, that takes some talent.
you guys saying you like chants and crowd singing then try Green Day Crowd Singing Bohemian Rhapsody [Live in Hyde Park 2017] THIS WILL BLOW YOUR MINDS !!!!
Glastonbury ... Greatest show on earth .... That isn't a far away city in the background , its the festival site. Try getting a ticket for that festival. Any band headlining Glasto is at the top of there game.
this whole concert is amazing, all the songs are great. You need to check the lyrics to see what they are singing, im from england and struggle with them
Just found your channel & been watching all your reaction vids - you 2 are great! One British band you might love is 'Royal Blood', a kind of British White Stripes (2 guys, drummer & bass player) who are HUGE right now. Think you would love them based on the other bands you've reacted too. Keep up the great vids lads
I love this video because its probably the 2 best arctic monkeys songs for drumming back to back.....listen to him go, he is insane. mad skills on the drums. Got to love Matt Helders
The music video for "When the sun goes down" was filmed at park hill flats in Sheffield, just behind the train station. Arctic monkeys came from Parsons cross area that's a few miles away from the city centre. Words like "Mardy bum" is what a mother from Yorkshire would say to her sulking child.The closest "English" word to "Mardy" would be "Sulking", and "Owt" is "Anything" and "Summat" is "Something". Summat and Owt have old English roots while Mardy is of old Norse origin
They were having a conversation with a local fellow at the place where they practised, a he told them "it changed when the sun went down around here". I love Sheffield, it's honest, even if it's brutal at times. Many many memories of live music and narrow escapes!. Much love from the UK
Sooo many memories! I saw them just a few weeks after living in Ferrara (Italy). It was my very first concert: 1h 15 mins of jumping and singing along. Unforgettable! Saw them again 11 years after at Lollapalooza Chicago 2018, it was great to see how far they went
'Do me a favour' It's a proper tune. One of their best imo. The intro drumming is phenomenal. I really love the way you both are reacting to stuff which is decent. Karl pilkington to name one. If you wanna go more music wise, I'd suggest a bit of Jamie T. Well worth a listen. 'Don't you find' and 'turn on the light' are both beautiful. 3rd album tho. First and second albums are both great too tho. I'd be loving it if you checked him out. He's proper. Love. And. Peace ✌🏻 👊🏻💥
I knew every lyric for all the songs on the first album it was an album that made you learn it. British crowds often sing long sections of songs by artists I love the crowd interaction in live gigs
Nothing on this earth beats a live prodigy gig they are in the Guinness book of records as the loudest band in the world.I saw them live at knebworth UK it was fucking insane
Headlining Glastonbury when they had never even played it before must have been nerve racking but still one of the greatest live performances of all time 🔥 Another one of their greatest live performances is TRNSMT 2018 which I was in attendance for. Funny you mention the Beatles because they actually played Madison Square Garden on the 50th anniversary of the Beatles first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show back in 2014.
The scale of Glastonbury is HUGE about 8 miles around the whole venue. Around 200K attend a year. I think it’s largest and original outdoor green festival in the world. There’s nothing like being smashed and watching your favourite band or artist outdoor with thousands of people ❤️ usually at this time of the evening you’ve lost most or all of your mates you went with, no phone signal and you’ve befriended some drunk strangers in the crowd 😂🍻
and they've just announced they're playing reading and leeds 2022 as well as a European tour with a UK tour to come. got my day ticket for Leeds, Prague and Croatia booked. PS: Glastonbury 2023 wAdele
I'm a big fan of Oasis and Artic Monkeys so I've been enjoying your videos. I'd recommend checking out 'The Libertines' next, 'Don't look back into the sun' being my personal favourite.
again, definitely recommend watching their TRNSMT performance in 2018! Specifically when they performed Dont sit down cause ive moved your chair, the view from the afternoon, and from the ritz to the rubble :)
Nobody has mentioned that at a festival you get all different sorts of bands and stage's and not everyone will be there because of the Arctic monkeys. Yet nearly everybody knows that song. My favourite is this house is a circus.
More like early songs from The Jam than anything by The Beatles imo. Yeah, a mix of punk, mod, ska and funk. Alex has got a broad Sheffield accent, which is great but you may not understand totally. It's easier to understand if you're from the UK I think. The drummer is kickass!
Thanks for doing this one! And glad you liked it :-) A good follow up would be the closing song, 505, from the follow up headlining at Glastonbury from 2013, with Miles Kane as a guest artist: ua-cam.com/video/3CzYE-kldUA/v-deo.html Quite possibly their best closer of a show ever and the best rendition of that particular song. You will not be let down!
Alright lads, good stuff as always! Couple of Arctic Monkeys recommendations- R U Mine? & Four out of Five, both from a festival in Glasgow called TRNSMT (2018), and also one called “Not nineteen forever” by a band called Courteeners, from the same show. Think you’ll love it!
Don’t forget Alex Turner was only 21 here. He’d written 2 record breaking albums by this point too... the man is a legend
Aside from their last album which was very very pretentious/obnoxious and just not very Arctic Monkeys.
@@chriswinter8511 they’ve just grown up mate
@@harryruffell-hazell3243 Nothing to do with growing up. Alex has just gone pretentious.

@@agustin5650He already said that lad, banger tune.
@@agustin5650 that's in favourite worst nightmare, second album
Agree 100%
I’d agree with this 100%. Best band since liam decided to sing “maybe I don’t really want to know.........”
“Am I looking at a village?” Nope, you’re looking at Worthy farm, a dairy farm in set in rural Somerset, that for five days every two years or so, turns into a small town with a population of 200K+ people.
5 farms. Not just one farm anymore. 160k punters and 50k staff
Makes me proud to be from Sheffield - it's not glamorous, we're not fancy but the people are friendly and funny and make it a great place
And it's definitely dodgy when sun goes down at other side of the river. (DON PROZZIES) 😂
I love em too and I'm Lancashire!! Lol!! Kx
We certainly do x
I’m from just up the road, whenever I’m in Sheffield I’m always made to feel right at home. What a lovely place. And yeah, the people definitely make Sheffield what it is.
You should be. Come to think of it, we all should be proud of our little island.
From The Ritz to The Rubble is one of my favourites from their debut album
Il aecond that aswell as chemical romance..
It has to be my favourite song
Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secure, so British outsiders wouldn’t understand, it’s High Green mate via Hillsborough please
YES
I reckon mine has to be I bet you look good on the dance floor. The guitar riff gives me goosebumps every time

I was there, they were great.
View from the afternoon. First song on their first album. The drums are insane
The official video reflects that aswell top notch
Went to school with these lads. Doing Sheffield proud!
This is definitely one of the songs that almost everybody in the UK knows the words to :)
How about their new songs?
@@karepku5028I do not know one song after AM all the way through
The actual music video to "When the sun goes down" tells the story along with the lyrics. Definitely worth a look at the the two in unison.
Yeah, unusual for a video to actually reflect song, but this is a great video and an epic track!
There's also a short film that goes along with it, featuring Stephen Graham, Matt Helders and Alex Turner's brother.
@@nayf7682 crazy to think of how much untapped potential stephen Graham had at the time. Been in some of the biggest Hollywood films in recent times
I was fortunate to see this performance live, even now it blows my mind !! Best live performance ever !
This whole Glastonbury performance from the Arctic monkeys is great
Oh hell yeah, you're in one incredible rabbit hole right now I can't wait for the future vids!

An all northern teenagers still listen to them as we relate to the songs
deffo mate......think I were early 30s as well then got to see them quite a few times 👍

Best british band since Oasis in terms of the initial impact they had. Their first album is one of the best you'll hear. Brianstorm is from their second album 'Favorite Worst Nightmare. Another really good album
They probably are but the lack of competition says a lot about the UK music industry.
Weirdly two of the biggest bands in the U.K. arctic monkeys and bring me the horizon went to school and college together!

This is literally a year after their debut album came out. In 2 years they went from releasing no music to headlining Glastonbury.

He's excellent, 'The View From The Afternoon' showcases his skills.

you should react to one of their more recent gigs like TRNSMT the crowd is insane
how i wish i was at trnsmt for their 2018 concert! that shit was wild, the crowd was probably the best i've seen in a youtube video

The album the first song is on came out a year before this and the second song came out that year and this is what they were doing, absolutely mental
I’m from Sheffield.... so glad you guys did this!
‘Crying lightning’ and ‘dance little liar’ off humbug - a heavier album 💪
you HAVE to do "Do I Wanna Know - Live at Glastonbury"

If you can nail an anthem in the UK. Understand every age group, from kids to pensioners will know it until the day they die.
You should check out from the ritz to the rubble by them it's off there 1st album
Watch arctic monkeys at TRNSMT festival!! It’s ridiculously good
Alex is a genius lyricist... tight quick cutting sleazy and delivered so causally... stunningly talented band.
Imagine being from the ages of 17 up to 21 and get so big so fast you’re headlining Glastonbury with the fans singing your song
Every song on the arctic monkeys first album is so good. They were a phenomenon. And yes they headlined the pyramid stage at Glastonbury that year.
Nobody has mentioned that at a festival you get all different sorts of bands and stage's and not everyone will be there because of the Arctic monkeys. Yet nearly everybody knows that song.
My favourite is this house is a circus.
They’re two different songs from two different albums my guys
You should look at The Stereophonics (Welsh band) I've been listening to them for decades, they have stood the test of time 😁
YEEES! Stereophonics!
It's a shame that not many singers retain their accents when performing.
I think nearly everyone in the UK knows this song word for word 😂😂😂
The video is.far better
Yes it's great it's got Stephen Graham in it
I was there! Amazing set.
The Libertines and Dirty Preety Things
7k subscribers already! absolutely flying. congrats boys. keep going!
I was at this gig!! It was absolutely EPIC.
I was there that night. I was over at the West Holts stage watching Nial Rogers though.
Defintely recommend listening to the studio version of a certain romance. Perfection
love the reactions
The arctic monkeys are huge here. Everyone knows the lyrics in that crowd I promise.
Im Not an arctic monkeys fan but I know both songs word for word... It's just an English thing
I just watched pulp - common people at reading 2011 great song to react too.
Arctic Monkeys are brilliant you should check out the often overlooked EP 'Who the fuck are Arctic Monkeys' its fantastic!
More like early songs from The Jam than anything by The Beatles imo. Yeah, a mix of punk, mod, ska and funk. Alex has got a broad Sheffield accent, which is great but you may not understand totally. It's easier to understand if you're from the UK I think. The drummer is kickass!
Thanks for doing this one! And glad you liked it :-)
A good follow up would be the closing song, 505, from the follow up headlining at Glastonbury from 2013, with Miles Kane as a guest artist:
ua-cam.com/video/3CzYE-kldUA/v-deo.html
Quite possibly their best closer of a show ever and the best rendition of that particular song. You will not be let down!
Their AM album is great. Its a more relaxed monkeys, but still packs an instrumental punch
Drugs Don’t Work MTV acoustic by the Verve is unreal
Yes everyone knows this song in the uk
I love how they used Matador as an Opening at that concert :D
I'm from Sheffield and also went to school with one member of the band (who is no longer a member). But man, this is cool to see.
The whole crowd would know the lyrics to this one... Cracking tune.. Whole album is a great singalong
Liam Gallagher - greedy soul (live at air studios)
A great start to a concert.
Alright lads, good stuff as always! Couple of Arctic Monkeys recommendations- R U Mine? & Four out of Five, both from a festival in Glasgow called TRNSMT (2018), and also one called “Not nineteen forever” by a band called Courteeners, from the same show. Think you’ll love it!
You guys HAVE to listen to Don’t Go Away at the GMex
