XFM broadcast the Friday show last night. Best moment of the weekend for me.
God this is good.

Too little upstrokes.God this is good.
I think that's a conscious change on their part. I remember a quote from their early breakout years something about them not acting like the rockstars they've earned the right to be on their shows. Since he's got that ridiculous hair, Turner's played the role of frontman more than in the past.Saw them for the first time a couple nights ago at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Feck, I felt old. Crowd was very young, mostly female. Saw a girl who looked bout 16 getting carried out by her friends before AM even came on. Her titties spilled out as she was getting dragged away. Young people gotta learn how to handle their molly, lol.
As for the band, they sounded great. Alex Turner was really having fun with himself striking these hilarious Elvis poses which elicited squealing and screaming from thousands of teenage girls. Alex is a true showman and carries the band. While the other three Monkeys might be capable, they should be thanking their lucky stars everyday. Set list was a good mix of both old and new. Only complaints would be there was only one set (21 songs including encore) and bar a couple songs, it was the exact same set list as the night before in San Diego.
Must work incredibly well, I'd sleep with Alex Turner if I could.Somewhat related, read a story on Facebook today about a group of English lads who book trips to the United States to travel through some smaller towns, picking up girls and sleeping with them. One of their lines is that they're the Arctic Monkeys.
Think only Oasis' debut comes closest between The Roses in 89 and Monkeys in 06. But yeah, I'd agree.Maybe/probably the best British debut album since The Stone Roses.
It's absolutely brilliant how they change styles almost every album giving it a different taste.I think I might prefer Suck It And See now, but still their debut is absolutely brilliant.
Different styles on each album. It's hard to rank them, but I'd probably have WPSIATWIN or Suck It And See as 4th and 5th, yet I love both albums. You have the debut which is just raw indie rock, FWN is more mature rock, Humbug is quite psychadelic, SIAS is actually quite "poppy" and AM has very much RnB overtones. All brilliant in their own way.I think I might prefer Suck It And See now, but still their debut is absolutely brilliant.
This, easily.Nah, I'd take WPSIATWIN over Definitely Maybe every time. In fact I think I might prefer What's The Story Morning Glory to DM too.
The Stone Roses' first album is better than both though.

Has been for every other UK tour. Looks like standing is £65.Reckon there will be a presale?
How would one go about getting a ticket on the pre-sale ?Reckon there will be a presale?
Probably have to already be subscribed to their mailing list. A code/link will probably be issued in the next day or so. They will definitely be adding more dates though. Playing Sheffield on a Tues/Wed with a gap then until Dublin on the Monday. I would imagine at least another Dublin show on the Sunday and a likely another couple of Sheffield shows.How would one go about getting a ticket on the pre-sale ?
I wasn't able to get the presale details for Dublin.Pre sale on now. Got my 4 tickets.
In Louis’ voice - Go for it (tomorrow)!I wasn't able to get the presale details for Dublin.
Same for London.I wasn't able to get the presale details for Dublin.
Maybe. Only Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem and The White Stripes come close really.They're the best band of the century so far.
