  • Andy's bass had problems in the middle of Vampires, so Alex soloed this while all the tech problems were getting sorted

    I love how such a soft song ends, everybody cheers and then Alex just shouts "All you people are vampires!!!". Awesome!!!

    I was at this show in march of 06. One of the first Arctic Monkeys shows in the States. Still to this day one of the best shows I've ever been to. The energy was palpable. I was right in the front on the left side of the stage (Alex's right). Their bassist at that time (Andy?) was having technical difficulties in the middle of 'Perhaps vampires is a bit strong but...' and Alex spontaneously broke out into this (new / unheard at the time) tune. The crowd was loving it, as was I. I had a feeling I was witnessing greatness, but who could have possibly predicted their success that was to follow. If I remember correctly there was this 1 guy who kept yelling "Mardy Bum" after every fucking song, until finally (inevitably) they played 'Mardy Bum'. I saw The Strokes a couple of weeks later (Also in San Francisco) and there was some chick doing the same thing, except she kept yelling "Barely Fucking Legal!" After every song. I had never been so happy to hear barely legal in my entire life. Anyhow, kudos if you've read this entire aside, and I suppose the point ultimately is that I wish I had a time machine to take me back to 2006 lol.

    I love how far away the look on his face is when he says what's happened to me and then the crowd screams and he just moves on. It just seems like a very real moment for him that gets ruined but he's still able to jump in and keep the energy going.

  • @citacoeseoutrascoisas9531

    He's pining for her
    In a people carrier
    There might be buildings and pretty things to see like that
    But architecture won't do
    Although it might say a lot about the city or town
    I don't care what they've got, keep on turning 'em down
    It don't say the funny things she does
    Don't even try & cheer him up, because
    It just won't happen
    He's got the feeling again
    This time on the aeroplane
    There might be tellys in the back of the seats in front
    But Rodney and Del won't do
    Although it might take your mind off the aches and the pains
    Laugh when he falls through the bar
    But you're feeling the same
    'Cause she isn't there to hold your hand
    She won't be waiting for you when you land
    It feels like she's just nowhere near
    You could well be out on your ear
    This thought comes closely followed by the fear
    And the thought of it
    Makes you feel a bit ill
    Yesterday I saw a girl who looked like someone you might knock about with
    And almost shouted
    And then reality kicked in within us
    It seems as we become the winners
    You lose a bit of summat
    And half wonder if you won it at all
    And don't say 'owt 'cause you've got no idea
    And she's still nowhere near
    And the thought comes closely followed by the fear
    And the thought of it
    Makes you feel a bit ill
    Despair in the departure lounge
    Is one and they'll still be around at three
    No signal and low battery
    What's happened to me?
