"Now performing 'The Ultracheese' from their album 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino', ladies and gentlemen, Arctic Monkeys" must be the weirdest sentence ever said in history.
i would dissagree, i think "ladies and gentlemen: Butthole Surfers, performing "dog inside your body" from their newest album "independent worm salloon" is worse..
@@abewilson6830 he tend to change his hairstyles after breakups. For example, when he broke up with alexa he chose quiff to be his hairstyle for next two and a half years...i read somewhere that people who drastically change hairstyle want new start, i mean, they want to forget everything that's past and live in the present/be happy about future(in his case with a new girl) ...and i also read a theory that people who went bald want to show how they're strong and have enough strenght to move on after something bad happened(in his case, after the break up with taylor)
Because it's very different from their previous works. It happens to every band who changes up their sound for an album. Just wait a few years for people to start calling it "hidden gem" or whatever
Excuse me, I'm Italian, so I don't completely get this. I knew that "cheese" would also stand for "extremely romantic", so I always interpreted this title to be like "the ultra sentimentalism" or something like that and I thought it was very cool. What I'm missing lol?
@@root6563 i interpreted it with cheese meaning kind of cringy or embarrassing to admit, so in this song he’s singing about his feelings towards the passing of time and the friends he’s lost, but he’d never want to admit it because it’s the ‘Ultracheese’.
I read once (don't remember where) that The Ultracheese is actually the moon, because it is the biggest cheese ever, don't know if it's right but it is def funny
"Now performing 'The Ultracheese', from their album 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino", ladies and gentlemen The Arctic Monekys." The presenter must be like 'fuk with these dudes naming things'. look at his smile haha
Always thought something similar when the number one album and single in the UK was "If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" from the album "This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours" by "Manics Street Preachers".
Definitely a callback to Julian Casablancas from The Strokes during their song Last Night, the party where he opens the song with "Last night, she said" - the same kind of drawn out and guttural vocals are used in almost a scream - Alex used The Strokes as inspiration a lot and here it really works well
I actually love that he's changed so much over the years. He's an amazing musician and every phase of his journey has been immortalised for us to choose from. We are blessed
Comparing the vocal range of Alex from the time when he was a scrawny young indie punk it’s hard to believe how much his voice has come on in the last ten or so years Very inspiring

I don’t understand how an album of this caliber isn’t changing the face of music right now?? I can’t name another album in the previous years as monumentally crafted as this. Incredible.
I’m so happy to see this. The Ultracheese has been one of my absolute favorites since the album came out - it’s incredibly moving and beautiful, and just as much so live. And it’s kind of cool that, for Alex, this album is defined by him changing his look often as opposed to sticking with one basic theme, which honestly represents the album pretty well.
Why is it that in the beginning, it looks like Colbert was trying really hard to hold back breaking out laughs at the mention of 'ultracheese', 'tranquility base hotel and casino', and 'arctic monkeys'?
Not many bands can do as huge a change up as these guys have done and pull it off. I do like Arctics but I'm not a massive fan, but I love the transformation from awkward teen celebs to Bowie style performances like this. Good on em.
breatheinthepinkair well I don’t think this album can be considered a flop commercially or artistically. Alex seems to be at his highest point in terms of creative freedom and there are plenty of people who love this album. Exemplified by the person who commented in the first place.
All their albums are special and amazing in their own way, what makes it so nice to listen to because they literally have a song for every mood lol Also I don't get why people hate on TBHC because I think it's absolutely amazing and it gets better every time I listen to it
Sunana Batra deffo , as much as I loved his recent hair , prob my favourite turner do , I have so much admiration and respect for him doing something so off the cuff and ballsy
Instead of hating on the hairstyle (which DOES suit him, common admit it y'all!) we should simply admire this fantastic performance. They are extremely talented and amazing musicians who deserve all the love and praise.
This is one of my fav songs from the album and this particular performance made me like it a million times more ! Im also loving alex's new look it really works for him and hes looking cool and fresh ! 💕💕💕💕
I don’t think the aim of this album was to please everyone, so if it didn’t work for you that’s fine, kindly leave. This video deserves positivity. Alex has, through this album, invited us into such a detailed and delicately crafted fictional universe, and the more I think about it the more in awe I am.
Not all fiction tho! His social commentary is kick ass, the one thing tht theyve never rly done with their songs b4, at least not in the manner of this album.
this album is a test to separate the real fans of the pretty visitors ;) personally I love it, it's new,fresh it's like to travel to another world, when I listen the songs I really feel like I were at Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino,and that I can run for government or being one of the Strokes,also reminds me my old memories of my friends of the wall... beautiful!!
irishprice (Hey! So sorry in advance about the length of this) Yeah their music definitely doesn’t have the same heavier rock feel of the first two albums. The album itself has stepped into a different genre so I get why some people don’t like it! I just feel bad when people call it “trash” bc it’s not, it’s really clever, just different. (Having said that, I think this track could’ve been on Suck It and See if it had more guitar work/heavier drums) Musically, it’s way way more layered than any of their older stuff. Also this album was composed on a piano bc after AM got huge Alex said he found it difficult to be inspired by the guitar. All AM albums have amazing lyrics but I think this album is probably the most lyric dependent. As Alex has said in interviews, he’s using the language of science fiction to describe modern society (it’s more subtle on this song but there’s others where it’s more obvious). The lyrics have the same kind of observational bluntness that their debut album had, but as @Jake Underland pointed out, there’s a lot more social commentary (he talks about the effects of technology, how we consume media, isolation, politics, fame etc.) Lyrically, the thing separating this album from the others is that none of the songs stick to one topic, each song covers a different combination of themes. And a lot of the songs reference each other in a way that’s difficult to explain, but they all contribute to the bigger picture and themes. I know it takes a bit of patience and scrolling through genius.com to understand, and I don’t blame people for not wanting to do so! Just want people to know there’s more to it than “just boring lounge music” :)
@@thomaskane9464 yeah I just got a feeling because literally nothing has been happening. We dont know what's going on at all. I'm hoping that it is because they're working on something.
@@BennyE456 matt helders did videos with james veitch which were filmed in like november last year and he said he was in london with alex to see if theres anything worth recording so that might mean a new album in the next year. again that couldve been stopped with corona and everything but we can hope.
When Alex actually gets Jamie to break into a rare smile. Best little bit. But I'm impressed with how much emotion Alex put into this performance and though I wasn't excited in particular to hear this one, I ended up really loving this live version! Superb performance! 👏🏻
Uno de los mejores temas del disco. Tiene una letra muy bien lograda, reflexiva, simbólica e introspectiva. Ultracheese mira hacia al pasado, evoca con nostalgia momentos mejores. Y esa idea no tiene pierde, sirve hoy y también mañana. La única constante nuestra es seguir viendo fotos del pasado pensando que ese tiempo fue mejor. Aunque eso no necesariamente es cierto
Aún tengo la foto de una mujer que nunca dejé de amar ni una vez y que dejó de llamarse mi novia hace cuatro años. Quizás algún día volveremos a estar juntos en la parte de atrás de un bar, para un lanzamiento espacial, o una ocasión especial.
Gracias por la reseña, realmente existe ese lugar, esa pared con fotos, quizás en físico o quizás en el fondo de nuestras cabezas, donde están esas amistades que parece que en realidad nunca fueron, los arrepentimientos y aún así, un amor que nunca se detendrá. Es una letra tremendamente poética que por alguna razón, no hay frase que no me retumbe con mucho sentido cuando la escucho.
This performance always touches my heart in a different way than any other ever has. The way he sings the lyrics with so much emotion, really tasting each word. So passionate about the lyrics. It’s so beautiful. This whole album is a masterpiece. Love it.
The point of being an artist is to constantly reinvent yourself keep the act exciting and creative, look at all the greats who have done it The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen. Alex and the boys should be applauded for experimenting with new genres and looks, really touching song and performance.
this song makes me feel so nostalgic and sad and like "Oh, the dawn won't stop weighing a tonne, I've done some things that I shouldn't have done, But I haven't stopped loving you once, hoo-hoo" is such a good closer for the album wow
Alex, I must say that I am sorry for finding this song so late because I just got my awareness from the teenage phase. Now that I had listened to all your songs and this one is my favorite.
i love this band because every performance of every song sounds just the same as in the album or even better also im mad alex shaved his head but he still looks attractive ugh the perks of being beautiful cant relate
what a basic comment. I'm pretty sure he is happy being in successful band with his mates, being rich and playing arround the world headlining every festival they're in.
He's such a good singer now... his Voice gets better each album and the last shadow puppets definitely helps, he seems to be able to flit between singing styles really well. GREAT PERFORMANCE.
"Now performing 'The Ultracheese' from their album 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino', ladies and gentlemen, Arctic Monkeys" must be the weirdest sentence ever said in history.
yh lol not even 'the' Arctic Monkeys
Only superceded by the performance that follows
@@jjrc7424well their band name is “arctic monkeys” not “The arctic monkeys”
Cudos to him for saying it with a straight face.

I have a theory Alex shaved his hair so he'd look more like the moon
It's a great theory hahahahhhahah
But he did it cuz he broke up with taylor
+an a I dont see the logic. Because he was mad and impulsive?
@@abewilson6830 he tend to change his hairstyles after breakups.

all these speculations are cool and all, but he most probably did it because he lost a bet or something
Stanley Kubrick faked the moon landing on Alex's head.
Legends say that the b&w was not a post-made thing. When they started playing, it just turned b&w in real life.
I'm glad you said this

SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE THE STUDIO VERSION!! Seriously this album is amazing
better
this is the arctic monkeys we’re talking about here 😭😭 they always sound the same if not better than the studio version when live
I do not get why people hate this beautiful album
Rafael Ruiz Give it a year or two, or until they drop another album. People just want to hate what's new.
Me neither.Sometimes I think it's sheer envy...
@@nessa6135 Or simply hate for the sake of it ... I'm talking about "AM",of course.Six years and still hated for no reason.
Because it's very different from their previous works. It happens to every band who changes up their sound for an album. Just wait a few years for people to start calling it "hidden gem" or whatever
Batphoned 78 because AM doesn’t really sound like Alex turner try humbug or suck it and see and you will understand why
That awkward moment when i tell my friends my favourite song called "The Ultracheese"

We all know he's really awesome musician and composer. Let's laugh with the comments jajaja
He sounds just like the studio version 😳 The talent
@@sofi465 sounds even better than the studio version tbh

@@ianhoolihan2396 where did you get that? You are almost implying that he would’ve wanted to be in the strokes or something 🧐

Did you go as Alex this year instead.

Es una letra tremendamente poética que por alguna razón, no hay frase que no me retumbe con mucho sentido cuando la escucho.
This performance always touches my heart in a different way than any other ever has. The way he sings the lyrics with so much emotion, really tasting each word. So passionate about the lyrics. It’s so beautiful. This whole album is a masterpiece. Love it.
The point of being an artist is to constantly reinvent yourself keep the act exciting and creative, look at all the greats who have done it The Beatles, David Bowie, Queen. Alex and the boys should be applauded for experimenting with new genres and looks, really touching song and performance.
One of his best live vocal performances along with some of the eycte shows 10/10
What a beautiful performance of this beautiful song
It's great to see how Alex has really grown over the years as a vocalist and a performer.
this song makes me feel so nostalgic and sad and like "Oh, the dawn won't stop weighing a tonne, I've done some things that I shouldn't have done, But I haven't stopped loving you once, hoo-hoo" is such a good closer for the album wow
loving the b&w aesthetics and alex's new look, works really well with this song
His hair looks like the moon now. Next step: building the Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino somwhere in that area.
Jakub Wojajczyk lol maybe the tranquility base is his mind
Looks like the moon's side boob
Just waiting for the taqueria now.
Beautiful live version of my fav song from the album!!! Love Al's live voice
'The dawn won't stop weighin' a ton' is one my favourite lines in any song ever.
And the two lines that follow it get me every time.
2:16 i cant be the only one whos been replaying this , its so good
One of my favourites off of the album! They did the arrangement so beautifully for this performance, plus Alex really suits his new haircut! 💖
❤️❤️
i’m crying alex is so beautiful
God bless Alexander David Turner for existing, I’m glad I was born in this generation 🙌
unphuckwithable you're so pretentious 😂😂just use his common name like everyone else
The first time i see someone who say that he is glad to belong to this generation.
I agree you’re a pretentious knob. This band sucks
Elliot Wilson lmao cringy loser
Be nice to each other 🙁 I wrote his full name just cause I liked to write it and let some who don’t know his full name know it
Beautiful performance, just perfect
Alex, I must say that I am sorry for finding this song so late because I just got my awareness from the teenage phase.
Now that I had listened to all your songs and this one is my favorite.
Looking like Miles Kane
XD
True!
The greatest rock n roll band of this century. Don’t believe the hype
Don't believen the hype since 2006
Wait why do y'all say don't believe the hype
Elsa Lopez watch the music video of i bet you look good on the dance floor
Greta Van Fleet is tied with em'.
Am is great but not the best this century. Led Zeppelin, Queen, Gun and Roses
so we'll see two bald guys in TLSP? That's wonderful...
hhhh, I was joking.
MILES HAS HAIR NOW
MILES HAS FUCKING HAIR NOW
Freaking MILES HAS FUCKING HAIR NOW
Milsahsherrnoo
His voice is such a masterpiece
Hell yeah I was born in the *right* generation
Probably couldn't see for the lights but I shaved my head
This album is a masterpiece, much like all of the others.
You can see Alex give everything in the performance, its amazing
i love this band because every performance of every song sounds just the same as in the album or even better also im mad alex shaved his head but he still looks attractive ugh the perks of being beautiful cant relate
The Ultracheese
Arctic Monkeys
Still got pictures of friends on the wall
I suppose we aren't really friends anymore
Maybe I shouldn't ever have called
That thing friendly at all
Get freaked out from a knock at the door
When I haven't been expecting one
Didn't that used to be part of the fun, once upon a time?
We'll be there at the back of the bar
In a booth like we usually were
Every time there was a rocket launch
Or some big event
What a death I died writing that song
Start to finish, with you looking on
It stays between us, Steinway and his sons
'Cause it's the ultracheese
Perhaps it's time that you went for a walk
And dress like a fictional character
From a place they called America
In the golden age
Trust the politics to come along
When you were just trying to orbit the sun
When you were just about to be kind to someone
Because you had the chance
I've still got pictures of friends on the wall
I might look as if I'm deep in thought
But the truth is I'm probably not
If I ever was
Oh, the dawn won't stop weighing a tonne
I've done some things that I shouldn't have done
But I haven't stopped loving you once

Lmao Stephens little head tilt when he says “The Ultracheese”
Poor Matt. He just wants to play The View From The Afternoon
brandon rodriguez get over yourself. he’s happy.
He doesn’t he loves the bands new direction
what a basic comment. I'm pretty sure he is happy being in successful band with his mates, being rich and playing arround the world headlining every festival they're in.
Ill admit, that comments pretty good.

He's such a good singer now... his Voice gets better each album and the last shadow puppets definitely helps, he seems to be able to flit between singing styles really well. GREAT PERFORMANCE.
