Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know ? (Live on Letterman)

[@dilshmil7240]

I absolutely love when a band sounds better live than on recording. This is one of those cases.

[@roronoazoro8768]

DilShmil Yosa checck out Mcfly. same case

[@abcdefu780]

Totally

[@quintjohnson7462]

Yesss they sound so much better live

[@glampurpleglitter]

This song is pure sex

[@Duduca17]

Alex looking up at the screen to make sure his hip moves are being recorded faithfully. lol

[@giselaswaragita1326]

how did he manage to sing + play the melody on his guitar+ do the sexy hip movements + killer eye contact ?

[@gino9748]

+Gisela Swaragita Playing for years makes it easier than you think .

[@dillpickle8778]

+cfcdaviddcfc it's a lot harder on 12 string though.

[@cfcdaviddcfc]

how?

[@talleshb2]

Training, lol

[@ytgspeedy3556]

The guitar riff makes me cringes

[@KS-sd4vl]

"I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new" is such a great line

[@johncurrie9342]

Best song writer of this generation

[@marceloduarte2620]

I absolutely agree.

[@TuRtLeSaC95]

Hmmm

[@YashRoy]

What about Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars?

[@marceloduarte2620]

***** TuRtLeSaC95 Calm down men, other opinions must be respected. I still think Alex Turner is the best songwriter nowadays. I don't know much about the other two, but I know that most of their songs are about love. Alex can talk about love, the society or anything in a very great way, always using metaphors or expressions. I think the best lyrics he wrote are from Humbug.

[@marceloduarte2620]

***** So who's the best for you?

[@carnivalhounds7597]

haha they all look like theyre from different eras: alex - 1950s rock n roll...jamie - some sort of 80s/90s shoegaze band....nick - psychedelic 60s/70s rock band...and matt - modern day 00s/10s rock band cant wait for the next direction of their sound

[@AgiIeBeast]

TO LIVE, IN A HOUSE THAT IS HAUNTED?

his hips don't lie :D

[@raijonakahara6948]

His hips are actually really great liars

[@evie63]

“you know shakira’s hips don't lie, but mine are incredibly good liars, a mask if you like” - alex turner

[@othmanechenguiti8119]

I love how the bass sounds !

[@ManDay220]

Typical cheap fuzz, I think

[@MsBlackAndy]

Sounds like someone farting

[@bassguy1812]

Zvex's Wooly Mammoth

[@victorpborghi]

It must be insanely hard to play that song on guitar and sing at the same time. Nice job, Alex Turner!

[@AmulyaBhattarai]

no its actually not lol. trust me. haha

[@eneakorcari]

Amulya Bhattarai It actually is difficult. At least for a good part of guitar players (actually everyone I know). Don't be the "I'm better than you" guy.

[@AmulyaBhattarai]

eneakorcari sorry man. wasnt trying to be that guy haha. ok, what i really mean is that its difficult at the start, but once you get that riff into memory, the singing isn't too hard.

[@eneakorcari]

It's cool man :)

[@kacperpacholak7326]

At the beginning it is difficult. You just have to get used to the tempo of things and sooner or later you'd get the hang of it. I'm pretty sure that for Alex this song is like clockwork :)

[@fatimahh.923]

As someone who can play that riff, i havent the slightest clue how he can sing and play it at the same time

[@okkk1114]

The hardest shit to do is that exactly i feel you on that 💯 percent 😂

[@yoanatrejo4720]

David letterman has good taste in music

[@scuttlebuttproductions953]

+Bby Yoana you know Dave has no interest in anything Music Wise that goes on ... he just says, "yes ma'am" and "no ma'am" ... so I debate you there .... and love your tight sneakers!

[@BigGangnam]

Fucking timeless. It's scary how much this song resonates with the girl who got away...or was so close, and yet so far.

[@lilbunny9833]

I feel violated

[@dancantwell1531]

lmao

[@jkaygoulet]

This performance is transcendent. It lights up every single one of my emotions in a way that few songs ever have.

[@MJRiley878]

Watching Alex perform live makes me giggle.

[@GodspeedProductionsStopMotions]

+Michael Stanley yea, sometimes he just does it in a way that I can't stop laughing, and other times he does it perfect.

[@lilbunny9833]

Larry David is my spirit animal.

[@GodspeedProductionsStopMotions]

[@JenChenshuffler]

All that pouting... XD

[@AgiIeBeast]

How amazing is it that they got Zach Galifianakis to play the bass

[@alirylands10]

[@jamiecraig1208]

[@luisalejandrosmithdextre5321]

Im ready too!

[@yes-wo7qn]

50 shades of me cringe

[@wendywolfman]

The American audience is just like "....so this is what good music is"

[@Nightwishmaster]

Yeah because we wouldn't know what good music is..... ROFL... If they really think that it's likely because they don't remember the days before Alex started changing the pitch of his voice in that incredibly irritating way he does now... I don't understand why people get so mad about their change of appearance or the way Alex sways his hips like he's Elvis or whatever these days. I don't care what they look like, they could keep wearing the clown outfits for all I care, but I do care about their sound which has gone terribly downhill. Their shows now are so slow and boring, they seem burned out and like they don't care and Alex never sings well anymore. It would be one thing if he just COULDN'T sing anymore, but he can, it always comes out for a few seconds at a time but it's like as soon as he realizes he's singing properly again he drops back into that annoying pitch. :(

[@jackedgeguitar]

so true

[@nftmonkey4506]

ecxactly

[@exxusdrugstore300]

Calm your tits people, it was just a joke. And it's not far from the truth, after all look at our lineup of top-chart "artists": Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande.

[@wendywolfman]

nah

[@ngmsssssssssss]

this song literally makes me think of her somehow and I play it on repeat until I fall asleep

[@zer0953]

i literally just watched this right after fluorescent adolescent also on letterman, its like totally different band came up on stage, crazy... anyway love these guys

[@avafonda5923]

Best song ever Best band ever with a singer so indescribable..

[@ezql_]

They're last Letterman show was in 2011

[@oceanx102]

Alex's hip movements!!

[@ladyindicaa]

"Ever thought of callin' darling." The way he sang that part was just perfect *-* and that 'Yeah' at 3:48

My best group AM....

[@joelorosario2300]

Wow, that end tho. That old dude just breaks in like "ok fellas that was the arctic monkeys, it's all you need to know", with like no emotion whatsoever. I'd be all over the place after hearing such a great song being played live in front of me. But that dude is like in a fucking hurry to go.

[@fabianopascoal2937]

the best ]

[@josephlturbo9597]

Yeah... the song, all the musicians give the song a world of intense passion. Has to be a very top recognized song. Even though I don`t know if it has earned any music industry awards. Perfect group to give the song life, all is so perfectly put together.

[@gabrielavalenteoliveira170]

👏👏👏

[@Duval1930]

super...

[@ValenThePowerful]

is he literally playing a 12 string electric guitar?

[@aidanfl]

Yes that's normal

[@dillpickle8778]

he's actually well known for his 12 string

[@MURMUR333333]

+Dill Pickle this and the solo on one for the road is the only songs from 12 strings lol

[@MURMUR333333]

I'm pretty sure all of them only picked up instruments when they started the band and he hasn't publically touched a 12 string until the last record.

[@marceloduarte2620]

+cola poker you're right mate

[@marugomezvildozo10]

From the first time I listen to this song I started to feel a warmth between my legs, not knowing exactly what I was saying (I am Latin) but feeling so many sensations ... well, by the way ... I now understand well why ... this song It's like making love! how good it feels

[@blakemcnamara9105]

[@haljordan3984]

they are the best. Maybe one day they come to Mexico

[@BatayaRulZ]

Elvis and Tim Roth in one person...

[@nicobellic106]

Elvis had personality and singed incredibly good, Alex doesn't have both things

[@jphingram1]

Which doesn't he have?

[@JulioIsKilluminati]

these guys and tame impala are like the few new bands i actually like.

[@JulioIsKilluminati]

Quack Quack when I said "new" I meant new as in the modern music of today. not the old school. I know they've been around for a while :)

[@jamesxiong9716]

that outfit omfg

[@libertylynn6150]

Undeniably sexy song... And yes the bass players beard made me chuckle;-)

[@dobrescucosmin5435]

It blows my mind that he's using a 12 string guitar for a song that doesn't even require six strings.

[@dobrescucosmin5435]

***** Might be the case but I've always seen him using this guitar for Do I wanna know, so I think he just does it to look interesting.

[@dobrescucosmin5435]

X001003 Congrats for the oh so eloquent explanation.. "cause the sound he gets", you sound like some sort of guitar techie. I'd ask you what the diference is from the 6 to the 12 string guitar but I'd be rather spared of the wiki article you'd paste into the comment box. He doesn't use it for the "sound he gets", you don't need any special sound for that riff, as I've mentioned before, I can get this amazingly breakthrough sound on my shitty ass Squire. If Steve Vai can play Tender surrender on a 6 string or Yngwie Malmsteen can play Far beyond the sun on a six string then so could Turner play this piece of shit, beginner's course riff. Unless he wanted so much to look special, for no reason, making an asshole of himself yet again.

[@thekosmics733]

Dobrescu Cosmin Relax dude! True I agree with you about him using the 12 string guitar cause it's not really necessary but I think it's cause he used it to record the song, so I guess he wants to get the studio sound when he plays live which is why he uses the guitar. It's a different generation, I get that this song is easy as hell to play but Steve and Malmsteen (dunno a lot about Malmsteen) are from a different era when music had so many guitar riffs and solos, and music had more depth... that sadly you don't hear as much anymore because it's all about the looks and fame, and dumbass teenagers rather than the music... I like AM, don't get me wrong, but I respect your opinion cause I understand where you're getting at from a musician's POV! Cheers man.

[@unforeseeninsight]

Dobrescu Cosmin Clam down, he's Alex Turner. he can play which ever guitar he wants. Obviously he chose this beautiful tear drop VOX star stream because he liked what it could lend to the performance--whether it's for show or for it's sound quality, Maybe the Les Paul or Country Gentleman were buried too deep in the gig van and this one happened to be on top of the stack and got pulled out easily. Who blood cares, it's his song, his guitar, and as Dave said, "that's all you need to know."

[@Blamestripes]

Dobrescu Cosmin He wrote the song on this guitar and recorded it on it as well. Oh and call him out as much as you want but unlike Malmsteen he manages to write music people actually want to listen too, just because its easy to play doesn't mean its not a fantastic riff.

[@blacktreecle]

oh my god this performance is so fuckin good
