Arctic Monkeys

Shock horror

Well, the Arctics' exhilarating, energetic Glastonbury performance was voted as NME readers' Best Headliner of 2013...

[Duw13]

Finally gave AM a listen- mostly meh, but a couple of decent tracks. Snap Out Of It's probably the best of the lot in my humble opinion.

Cousin ended up with a spare ticket for Sheffield and is giving me it for my birthday. Nice bit of luck.

I wish they'd play Reckless Serenade more often, now that's a good song.

Going by the American tour... they may have dropped 505! Knee Socks closing main set, R U Mine? encore

[Com Truise]

Maybe it's because Americans don't care about Miles Kane and therefore don't erotically orgasm every time "505" plays

yes

erotically

I think dropping 505 is a good thing, or moving it around the set at least. It was getting quite predictable and boring closing the set with it.

From NME's article about HMV: "Around October 18th, well be announcing one of the biggest names in the world as playing a gig at our newly-reopened flagship store at 363 Oxford Street in London."

I bet that's Arctic Monkeys. UK tour starts a few days later.

You're probably be right but genuine question are Monkess actually big outside of the UK?

Yeah they headline festivals in Europe and are gaining a substantial following in the US and South America now (I think they headline the Brazilian Lollapalooza?), not sure what their exposure in Japan is like though.

South America you say, hmm...

[Com Truise]

according to a girl on twitter, there are loads of "fake" portuguese fans because AM tracks get played on portuguese radio lol

Looks almost set in stone that the main set closer is Knee Socks and the encore closer is R U Mine. I don't agree but there you go.

Also I think they've started to acknowledge the War Pigs likeness on Arabella. They've started doing a snippet of it apparently. Could be kinda cool.

[Gucci Piggy]

I'd have had R U Mine? as the main set closer and A Certain Romance as the encore closer, but oh well.

And they've acknowledged the War Pigs likeness before now. I think they openly stated they pretty much ripped that song off.

[the wonderwhy]

Aside from having R U Mine? as closer, I'm liking the setlist at the moment
