    I'm a big fan of the Arctic Monkeys and this is one of the first videos I have seen where members are doing interviews/sit downs, and I think they are really funny, I shall keep watching more. One more thing, if you take away Matt's hair and stick a baseball cap on there, he kind of looks like Tom Morello from RATM
