Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner on new album AM 'I want to sound like 50 Cent's In Da Club'

[@jayzeevera8742]

"No, I don't think so..." - Alex Turner, in every interview ever

"If that comes on your shuffle, just try and skip it. I dare you." Exactly.

[@teresagomes6491]

Its incredible how Alex is so orally weak talking with someone in a conversation, but, at the same time, he has a perfect, impeccable diction, when he is singing. For example, when he sings at a rapid pace he does not leave a word or a syllable behind (Teddy Picker, R u Mine, This House is a Circus, etc.). In terms of diction, he is one of the best vocalists i´ve ever heard in my life. Its kind of ironic.

[@jooolius]

Honestly, I think he is high as hell. If you look at the most recent interview with him (the BBC one), he talks way better and more interestingly, but in this interview he just looks high out of his damn mind

[@ashtonmathew6576]

@@jooolius I think that's because he became a better speaker overall. If you watch any of his interviews before 2018 he's the same way. I don't think he's high I think that's just how he talks.

[@SergioIsToCool]

Ashton Mathew but if you watch some other recent interviews it seems like he’s stoned. I don’t think it’s because he got better at speaking

lets see how quietly we can talk.....

[@Agnosticism000]

guys lets be honest one sec, try look everywhere, and find me one single interview, or any situation where alex is talking, and tell me if he sounds any different from this. can he possibly be drunk or high every single time? or is it more possible that he is just like that? uh? get over it

[@ashutabhattarai3757]

deez135 nuatz maybe he was high then!

[@AndreaS-ru3yw]

The music industry is a scary place, I can’t name one person who doesn’t do drugs or at least smokes/drinks alcohol to get over the pressure and the stress. I love the Monkeys and i hope Alex is taking care, he looks like he’s on cocaine in most interviews because he wasn’t like this in earlier interviews, although some people say he’s just awkward, y’know?

[@spoonnoise8332]

Lizzie Wunn it’s just his way of talking, he think a lot before speaking and that explains why he’s such a great lyricist. He has also mentioned that if he didn’t make it with the band, he would’ve done a major on literature or something like that

[@sarah-ul5rh]

[@yikushieda]

they're both very intelligent. alex's comparisions and word choice are very very well thought out

[@VizelleG]

Yeah that’s why he takes so long to form a sentence

[@nikkiaragon07]

interviewer: would you think of going to the rap industry? (something like that) alex: no. no.. i dont think so.. i ca-.. i mean can you imagine me: LOL HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[@slimmy_0076]

“We’ve had a wonderful summer haven’t we Matthew” has got to be one of the most rock n roll things I’ve ever heard

[@hannahroffers6253]

He always calls the interviewers by their names its pretty cute but he always seems kinda awkward or just really out of it in interviews. He's more with it in real life haha

[@cris-mo1yx]

Yes! He's an awkward guy. He acts like that in every interview. I don't really think he's stoned. But who knows?

[@hannahroffers6253]

I know I think that is just his personality. I mean I'm sure he is stoned some of the time but for the most part thats just how he is haha

[@cris-mo1yx]

and by stoned i mean just pot. I really don't think alex does heavy drugs, or i may just being naive.

[@iBullyDemons]

[@katrinah2626]

I admire their talent so much and hope they feel admired

[@foreverxbrkn]

I love Alex's habit of calling interviewers by their first name so casually and acting like they're good friends lol. And I love how he doesn't shorten names or anything. Matt and him are adorable here.

[@vonnaconde154]

Alex isn't high that's just how he is. Leave him alone. Just looking for the right words to say.

[@Defab21]

Bloody hell, what is everyone on about with this interviewer? Just because she's talking in a low volume, and wears rather arty clothes doesn't mean she's too shy and doesn't deserve to interview them. Plus maybe it's just hear rather posh accent? Then again, every accent sounds posh compared to Mats's and Alex' Yorkshire. Just leave her alone.

[@Anna-jl7gy]

They're almost whispering throughout the interview. I think it's it's an efect from the interviewers quiet, innocent nature, you can see how Alex picks it up and mirrors that.. a thing I think a lot of artists temd to do

[@Eggheili18]

I like this interview, the questions aren't like every other question from other am interviews and alex seems a little more invested in answering this one

[@flame61ful]

I'll have what Alex Turner is having

[@kijetesantakaluSokete]

his sunglasses

[@t4haniii]

he’s British 😭😭

[@lalammar]

"We wanted to borrow from the architecture of contemporary R&B. I don't want to live there necessarily." Statements like that are why this man's an artist. It's all about evolution, baby :)

[@Lulu-ec6ce]

Not only he got his point across about his feelings towards r&b and sound evolution, as you mark, but he also made a pun about building stuff. Not so sure about him not being a comedian

[@ackerwoman16]

Apparently he was the design head for stage set of his Car tour too He's hella creative

[@ohok8970]

He is such an introvert you can tell. As an introvert, getting out words, although had gotten better over the years, is still kinda difficult. That's why he doesn't have social media, and he barely feature in any of AM's music videos (except some) It's all Matthew :)))

[@claram7632]

amazing interview, such a calming and relaxing voice coming out of everyones mouth

[@b3jewels]

It’s so funny to me that Matt just put him on the spot by asking if he was acting😭✋

[@19Olka97]

He obviously isn't stoned or drunk. Just chaneling his inner awkward lad which he really is. Even during concerts he feels a bit awkward every now and then. I mean, them dance moves he has... he looks like any awkward guy trying to dance and act a bit sexy. And in all fairness, it works, haha.

Well, I am too a massive fan, man :) and I love every aspect of their career, because I'm a fan of various music genres and I can tell you, this album is in no way boring, maybe just uninteresting for someone who isn't up to the genre, but it's actually got the most exciting beats I've ever heard of them.
