A phenomenon that need no introduction, Artic Monkeys are platinum selling world dominating megastars today. They did the impossible and conquered America unlike many other British groups before them, and are selling out arenas and headlining iconic festivals like Glastonbury. But before they became what they are today, there were 4 bored teenagers from Sheffield who decided to start a band. Their story is a unique one, and you could even call them pioneers, utilising the internet and virality before the iPhone was even released. This video dives into the band's history - first instruments, their first gig, demo, single and iconic first record.

I actually met Alex turner once, I washed the rims of his Vauxhall Meriva back in 2006 not long after the first album came out, he tipped me and invested into our family valeting business, he’s been an ambassador ever since, fantastic guy!
NO WAY LUCKY OMG
Really??
@@bqdypaintss. nah
so lucky to those people who has a beneath on boardwalk cd
This might be the best underrated video on youtube that i have ever discovered
That's some high praise my friend thank u loads!
Really cool play by play of their upbringing as artists, CZcams needs more AM content like this.
I really love all their stuff even up to their new records, but something about their older music is just magical and I don’t expect to see replicated anytime soon.
I would love for them to release a direct sequel to Whatever people say. Basically how all us feel when we head down the town nowadays as 40 year olds. Night life died away, seeing the same old faces still trying their luck. Struggling to get a taxi as they are all doing uber eats. Trying to get a baby sitter or dealing with an ex wife etc.🤣
Excellent stuff Jason keep up the great videos !
I filmed the footage from Leeds 2005 on a Sharp GX10 camera phone.
Great video though mate
The man himself no way! Glad you enjoyed! Legend
@@jason_jason_1 it’s really good mate. Some good research in there! 👍🏻
@@robpnicholsonHope you and Andy are both doing well. Really specific but do you happen to know what Vines song they covered at their first gig? Thanks
Hi mate @@jamesguitar2006 I honestly can't remember. Harmonic Generator was The Datsuns cover they did as well as Black Math and I'm only sleeping. It was such a long time ago though
@@robpnicholson fair enough I can understand that. The Vines are one of my favourite bands I was surprised they covered them to be honest
This is a quality video man. Well done.
Awesome video!!
Love this lil vid
Great video!
i got a headache headbanging to 'I bet that you look good on the dance floor'
I think AM are the best band since 1994, but they haven’t been monkeys for quite a few years. Still great though.
Hardly mate not better then the libertines fact!!
@@willtoon88cat well yeah its between them and the libertines, both great bands. I’d still give it to AM
Oasis but AM are ahead now
@@Blairwatchproject6780 no way, the monkeys are great but didn’t make the impact that oasis did, and haven’t since. But for me they hold the torch, and rightly so. And as regards the boring part of album sales etc gigs etc, they’re not even on the scale.
@@nez9751 I feel similar oasis burned so bright but they didn’t really get better like arctic monkeys did.
Couldn’t have said it better mate
“Nail on the head” with this video 👍🏼👍🏼💯💯
Shed a tear
I almost didn't watch the video because of the mocking of their last project as elevator music. People grow up...can you imagine Alex at almost 40 singing about meeting a girl on the dancefloor? It's a pity about the introduction because it's a good, informative video about their formative years. Why can't people just be glad they had the Monkeys as they were in their early years and just let people enjoy what they are now?
Thanks for sticking it out - I don't mean to say their new stuff is bad, just that it's not for me and the more garage rock vibes are more my style, apologies if that didn't come across!
@@jason_jason_1 Thanks for the answer, the video is great apart from the introduction. I'm a good example - The Car made me a fan. I'm revisiting their older stuff and I'm totally mesmerized. So there are new fans about to discover more about the band everyday, be it because of The Car, or AM, or TBH+C. They're magical like this.
Their new stuff is not my taste either but the new stuff is “elevated music” if you will
I don’t like the fact that Alex hid away his accent, it’s what I think gave personality to the songs and now in concerts it just sounds a bit strange
I think every album from "Whatever people say I am that's what I'm not" to "Suck it and See" has its own little charming personality.
It really soured after that.
There's something about modern bands trying to sound heavy which never really works.
Royal Blood and post-2013 Arctic Monkeys always seemed ridiculous because it's now-posh boys pretending to be Iron Maiden.
I actually think Suck It and See is kind of boring. The first three albums are amazing and AM has its moments but I genuinely don't like Suck it and See
@@JammerAma ok but OP does so why is that relevant?
@JammerAna Suck it and See has some of their best songwriting, Alex Turner's voice sounds like Bowie in its best parts and it's poetic.
AM is faux hard-rock made by guys who have just scored some ass in Vegas.
@kwame1637 LOL literally just giving an opinion my lord. I even upvoted what he said because I actually respect different opinions than my own.
@lukerawkford3970 I think it's definitely Turner's most impressive vocal album, but I hard disagree on the songwriting. I hardly remembered it. But different strokes for different folks, I suppose. Favourite Worst Nightmare is still my favorite. I can tell you were coming at this pretty defensive but you genuinely don't have to. I'm not attacking your opinion. Just stating my own.
Their newer material is definitely not as good as their older stuff. It shouldn’t be an unpopular opinion, it should be fact. I’m young, I didn’t grow up with the monkeys, yet I prefer their older songs.I like a few of their newer songs but the first two albums, ALL songs are amazing.
Also, I hate Alex’s voice now, he really overplays it
they are terrible now. beyond garbage. humbug has never been good but at the very least it was still listenable. imagine making albums like whatever and nightmare and then years later, completely disregarding the energy and angst behind them. i bet you look good on the dancefloor was europe's version of the smells like teen spirit craze back in the early 90s. to go from the possible next pulp/jarvis cocker to a lil bit more creative and guitar-oriented 1d/harry styles in not even 5 years after your debut is a whole ass joke in itself.
Wouldn't go that far but yeah!
They grew up. You should too.
well they arent 20 anymore and prolly dont wanna write about going to bars in sheffield 💀
they made music about pussy till the late 10s. then again am has never been about deep lyrics or an out of this world guitar solo but we still loved listening and jumping freely to it. they proved that pop music can be just as exciting and objectively good which is a huge feat only a few can really pull off.
the mature sound they needed to find after fwn should've been more post-punk 80s new wave sounding instead of being influenced by that overdone stadium size 70s blues rock (fuck josh homme). i guess if you've always been a disgusting normie artist with simpleton needs such as caring about hits, sales, cars, dating models, big houses and suddenly looking like you own a whole place filled with exclusive clothes, suits and footwear (for the record: they have zero sense of style), then i guess they were always meant to be all about good ol' america anyway. case closed.
TBHC is one of their best, idk what you're on about
The 5th monkey the 5th beatle
