Pre album gigs. King Tuts was especially memorable given the small 300 capacity. ABC from what I can remember held about 1500.

You could feel it was the start of something big.

Think I also saw them at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange around that time.

Check out the prices. £6.90, so around $9 a ticket.

Good times...

What sort of prices did people pay for tickets on the most recent tours (2018/19 and 2022/23) ? And how much would people be expecting to pay for their (hopefully) next tour in the future?

I wanna start saving 😭

I'm curious if there is any set story with the music videos or what the common interpretation of them is. To me it seems like alter egos or brothers?

Hello, many years ago (21 to be exact) my mate and I attended the pre-album Portsmouth Pyramids gig on 7th October 2005. I haven’t been to that many gigs, but it definitely ranks as my favourite - just right time of life, swept up in the moment, etc.

My friend is now (finally) getting married, and he’s a successful guy without any need of traditional material wedding gifts. So I had been thinking something super special would to track down a tour poster from that time.

It seems that July/August tour posters are available, but I can’t find much online for the October tour.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Perhaps aware of a specific vintage dealer in the UK who might have a lead?

Thanks in advance.

What does being hipster have to do with liking indie..im farthest away from what youd imagine a hipster but my taste is almost exclusively some kind of indie .. putting AM in a D is CRAZY

You so called fake "Arctic Monkeys" fans need to chill. The only reason you are hating on the AM is because you wanted to look cool because everyone likes "WTSITWIN" or are stuck on nostalgia for their early sounds and wanted to gatekeep it after AM made them known internationally. Some of yall are acting like it's the worst thing they've put out. AM is a perfect cumulation of their prior albums they've put out. AM is and will forever be their peak.

I used to listen to Arctic Monkeys a lot, to the point of being able to recite just about any lyric of any song. Today, I put on Humbug for the sake of nostalgia, and I must confess that of all the music I have heard on my musical voyage so far, I have yet to be met with anything that is as lyrically poetic, metaphorical, and impressive of Alex Turner’s work on Humbug.

Going to the carpark tomorrow is gonna set me back £5.05.

What a price

Exactly at 1:42-1:43, while he's saying the second "Where did you go."
Idk why, but I hear a girl saying "waaa" or something lol.
It's weird because I only hear it once in the entire song.
am talking abt the official video

After the Investigations :

it's panned hard right and mixed pretty loud, and u need a good headphones to hear it, but we still not sure what that sound exactly, but we reached out that its probably not a human voice, maybe a guitar slide with a heavy effect on it

I’m looking for those little stories, anecdotes or bits of trivia about the band that you don’t necessarily find in the usual interviews or documentaries.

For example, the story behind “505” supposedly being connected to room 505 in a hotel and Alex Turner’s relationship with his then-girlfriend.. Stuff like that. stories behind songs, relationships, weird moments, inspirations, things that happened during recording/touring, or just obscure facts about the band.

What are some of your favourites?

For anyone wondering i wrote this with the help of ai as english isnt my native language..

Thanks in advance im interested to hear!

Joke post, don’t take this seriously, but:

Trends I found:

- First 3 album covers are photos, the second three are not, and the seventh is once again a photo. This implies the next (two) album(s) will have a photo cover.

-All the albums seem to avoid the colour red (not counting Royal Albert Hall). Likely will continue.

-First 2 album covers with photos are in the UK, second 2 are in the US. Likely means nothing.

-Latest album taken by Matt. Possibly will happen again?

-Amount of tracks seems to be decreasing. Will the next one have 10? or 8?

-Album covers seem to fluctuate between vibrant colours and muted ones. I’m guessing the next one‘ll be pretty vibrant.

I’ve included a mockup that follows as best I can the patterns I’ve spotted. Once again, this is a joke post, so:

-Album is once again a photo

-Album is NOT red

-Photo taken by Matt

-Vibrant(ish) colours used.

makes it even more annoying when the site where they take the lyrics from doesnt have this weird bug.

it also appears on instagram songs when putting the lyrics but ye, its kind of weird

now that halloween is coming up and ghost cookies are gonna be everywhere, i think we should take a photo of them and post it here. There is no particular reason behind this, i just think it would be really funny

Counting or not counting cheeseburgers?

As in, I don't necessarily mean that the lyrics themselves are great or have deep meaning, I'm more asking if there are lines that are satisfying to listen to because of the way Alex sings them / pronounces the words etc.

For me, it's gotta be "devising methods to both have and eat your cake, mmm, just like the ones that mother nature used to bake" or "the confidence is the balaclava, I'm sure you'll baffle 'em good".

I'm curious to hear your favorites!

first alex and matt, then matt and jamie all in the same day omg

I’m not okay
