Alex Turner Arctic Monkeys Interview BBC Newsnight 2013

Alex Turner of The Arctic Monkeys chats to Stephen Smith on Newsnight September 2013

[@Maxiipad]

" it felt like were about to step onto the lunar surface" he just basically described his 6th album

[@areyoumine4445]

I found some interviews that he talk about listening music in “the car” ❤ ❤❤❤

[@sidviiicious]

his voice is seriously the sexiest thing to grace my ears

[@ne3371]

I don't understand how people say he's changed in a bad way, he's still sweet as ever, bless him.

[@ferwoodz]

MAN FR HE'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS

[@Hushey]

because it's no longer about the people it's about some rockstars

[@_jovanaK1]

Exactly ❤

[@aunthaumv3711]

when he talks, sometime he seems like he's holding a burp.

[@juliaeve]

Or a hiccup

[@buttertones]

I see you on every Arctic monkeys video

[@kirstymaaac]

I feel sorry for people who can't make out what he says, cause what he says is gold.

[@zainabhasan4617]

"We should interview his mum next week" That would have been amazing. .

[@gokulvaradan8781]

"lunar surface" wow I think he is always thinking about lyrics for his next song. He is a once in a life time artist and deserves to be mentioned next to greatest song writers like McCartney, lou reed, david bowie, noel gallagher, kurt cobain, etc.

[@aaronmcdonald3757]

Gokul Varadan get Noel off that list

[@mahtaaali6759]

You forgot Lennon

[@areyoumine4445]

I found some old interviews that he talk about listening music in “the car” ❤ ❤❤❤

[@ferwoodz]

He's a master mind

[@Bianka_mww]

Yes!!

[@123twilightparamore1]

his voice is just too damn sexy

[@FlowoftheImagination]

his voice is much deeper than i imagined yes good

[@zen_m24]

Awwwwe the way he talks about his mum. I bet she's proud of everything he has achieved

[@ycantijustusemyname]

holy shit those few seconds of the crowd singing mardy bum like that gave me the quickest goose bumps ever

[@donnakok4637]

caro RELATE I LOVE MARDY BUM

[@favoritos630]

He grew up, get over it, in one of the old interviews someone just asked them if they want to change their style in the future Alex and Matt said YES instantly, people just if you don't like the album don't listen it, listen the others and everyone is happy.

[@lauraramirez5406]

Perfect!

[@jelenapoturic2602]

exactly..it's only natural for the band to evolve and change..it's silly to expect them to be the same as they were 10 years ago..they all grew up and change is only a natural thing, it's called evolving..if they stayed the same and produced the same kind of stuff year after year it would become very boring..change is good..

[@Emma-fq9pv]

They just realised a taster for their 6th album now

[@leah1068]

that rock n roll eh?

[@chanice0085]

+Leah Marie Thats indie rock, my friend. :)

[@leah1068]

+Chanice 00 alex said that in his best speech ever, my friend ;)

[@aarushimishra]

+Leah Marie which speech? I mean speech from Alex? I'd love to hear it. hehe

[@chanice0085]

Leah Marie well yeah, i guess it is rock ´n roll but more specifically its indie rock ^^ and i would also want to know which speech it was. -w-

[@arutzuki2491]

+Aarushi Mishra Award speech 2013.

[@coffeetiramisufatcake]

Nobody: Literally nobody: Me: liking comments from 4 years ago

[@user-sc9gw7kn1r]

Saaaaamee

[@coffeetiramisufatcake]

Розалия Домина hahahah

[@mahtaaali6759]

From 10 years ago*

[@ghostlystardust5568]

**me liking your comment from 1 year ago**

[@a7xunlimited1]

he is so fine

[@HeyCharlotteHere]

yes

[@angelaechartea9631]

I still see him humble and nice. Stfu.

[@arutzuki2491]

Angela Echartea because he is, a leather jacket doesn't change that.

[@badtzmaruu]

the way he says "hot new" in the beginning and his face when he says it omfffff

[@nefertitiherbert9216]

People make me highly upset sometimes. Yeah, you're not going to like everything a band puts out. That's naturally and COMPLETELY okay. But don't you dare ever criticize someone or judge whether or not someone is a fan because they like something you don't. The new album doesn't have that raw punk-rock feel that the Humbug or WTSIA does, but it doesn't mean its BAD. It's just a change. If you don't like it, no one's forcing you to listen...

[@leah1068]

wtf is wtsia

[@027betz]

+netflixer What They (people) Say I Am, (thats what im not).

[@leah1068]

lmao

[@TheIGITnBLUE]

It happens. People are going to whine over everything nowadays anyway.

[@enolaliv663]

hard to believe people didn’t like am when it came out but now it’s all arctic monkeys “fans” listen to lmao

[@pacopulido8295]

His voice just killed me, why do you do this to me Alex Perfection Turner?

[@evaevita8440]

He does his loudry with his mom

[@artemis6070]

How does one be on their tears?

[@lt_0501]

+Artemis doing laundry can be very hard sometimes. No offense.

[@Hushey]

loudry

[@saradiaz2976]

"but now you've gotta go to the gym and stuff" DO KEEP HITTING THE GYM ALEX

[@Hushey]

these comments are public

[@christine5055]

"Our hot new longplayer" lol! Omg, I love him so much!

[@TheWaveGoodbye-Music]

okay elephant in the room, i'll say it, alex show us how you get your hair like that, it's too fucking cool

[@emmastar3202]

His hair is so john Travolta style in the movie Grease :p :D

[@judeforrester6641]

Emma Star the style has been around since the 50's and nearly every greaser would get offended when someone says they're from grease

[@monkeymagic436]

can't imagine Alex down the gym

[@cyrusmetcalfe7795]

He has a six pack

[@leah1068]

+Cyrus Metcalfe lmao not now

[@ninabuh620]

sometimes i wish i was born in england or somewhere where people speak english, so then i could understand every word he said,i wish english was my native language or like that...))

[@vlczechful]

I don't have English as my native language either and yet I understand almost everything. Just practice, listen to a lot of interviews, watch series in English, read books or blogs in English, watch youtubers on YT (that's very helpful) ... That helped me much more than lessons in school. You have the whole internet to help you :)

[@ownprivatetrap]

I like every single one of their albums.

[@dadjoke8998]

That intro killed me. It seemed so forced but Alex did try his best

[@timstagram_sc]

i wish i had a british accent

[@MarcoPolo-io4nh]

oh yees boy

[@gemleanne494]

It's not a British accent It's a Yorkshire one

[@o0GrayMatters0o]

it's easy, just don't pronounce your r's or l's and a bunch of other letters properly and you'll be on your way. Also, say "innit" at the end of everything. For example: If you wanted to say "i sure feel better after that beer" you'd just say "reckon i fio beh-uh affa dat be-uh innit"

[@gemleanne494]

That's just extremely stereotypical, I'm from the exact same place as alex turner and I don't speak like that at all

[@o0GrayMatters0o]

Good job Gemma. Let me translate what you just said to how it sounds: "Thas extremely stereotypicoo, I'm from duh exack same place as alex tuhnuh and I don't speak lye dat at aww innit." Cheers

[@ElectricCherryhito]

Cute how he looks a bit nervous or uncomfortable at times, like he won't keep eye contact and he keeps stroking or fiddling with his hair nawww he's a human being like everyone else! Nice to know ;)

[@jasmintorogeldieva4199]

I spit nothing but the truth 😂

[@HappyBlinker]

"we should interview his mum next week" I DIED. CX

[@fatimahh.923]

At the intro he looked like an overly polite schoolboy who's just come out of his first ever detention for stealing a marker

[@rodrigoabi1]

Mardy Bum at Glastonburry was brilliant.

[@Sego763]

0:14 "Do chune in."

[@jayyfeatherr]

he makes me want to have a British accent

[@johnnyxrcfc]

*yorkshire

[@juliaeve]

+Thig ar Latha 96 *south Yorkshire

[@johnnyxrcfc]

Julia Chernov *high (aye) green

[@juliaeve]

+Thig ar Latha 96 yeah and that's in South Yorkshire lol. It's a suburb of Sheffield.

[@johnnyxrcfc]

Julia Chernov a foockin know mate!

[@traceybanana1798]

First BBC Breakfast, now this? Alex seem to be on BBC in the mooornin' and in the niiiightiiiiiiiiiime. (sry)

[@Deadeushka]

his accent 😏❤️

[@redhotchililuv]

I'd love to see an interview with Penny

[@Bloke-98]

This is how all musical artists should be like... Relaxed

[@calebscott4707]

i feel so special, me and my friends are a band, we were formed just down the road from high green where they were formed

[@anasweetlolly1878]

i didn't even notice there were other people in the video xD

[@carly885]

I fucking love this accent

[@FormulaProg]

He's got the voice of a yorkshire lad thats lived in LA for 40 years, not 4...

[@lockergr]

LMAO

[@Dylan-jf5tu]

well they got pretty darn famous makes sense he would lose some of his accent

[@FormulaProg]

Na we all know he forces it. Noel Gallagher's lived in London for 20 years and doesn't sound like a cockney

[@johnnyxrcfc]

"You're not from New York City you're from Rotherham"- oh the irony...

[@MrRobsCreations]

LUNAR SURFACE ON A SATURDAY NIGHT

[@_Shadbolt_]

2:38 the lunar surface eh? Well this time they did with TBHC.

[@OriginalDanGunnMusic]

i want the old stuff back:(

[@arabella7602]

This band makes me proud to be british

[@user-cq1hz7pi2d]

I want a video of alex working out

[@winterysoul8211]

THAT ROCK N ROLL EH

[@amhm6039]

The journalist at the beginning looks so fucking bored hahahaha. The way he tells the IBYLGOTD joke is absolutely amazing.

[@NolavAvaloN]

yum

[@64Rubix]

a classic 'your mum' joke from paxman at the end there

[@Charleypassy]

That intro killed meh aha

[@elopickle]

As from someone with a Yorkshire near Sheffield, Alex’s accent is 100% not strong lol. I spent a couple months in New York and I had to water my accent down loads. Everyone thought I was from Scotland

[@cattykitty98]

Perf

[@benmorris9925]

The pink shirt!

[@lt_0501]

HAHAHA mijn helden uit Friesland op Glastonbury!

[@getitstandswithukraine6637]

[@dbwhab4150]

[@donnakok4637]

Lily B CRYING

[@aitch2559]

[@juliaeve]

[@markardisson612]

[@4UUR]

Brb gonna bust some verses

[@JJmerc1993]

Pretty sure that's a sound check.

[@nhrbb19]

I dont understand anything when he talks.. his accent is so strong.. please add subtittle on the interview videos

[@lizmcclay4972]

omg I get you, I have to keep replaying the video a thousand times so I can understand what he's saying (the way he speaks is still sexy tho lol)

[@juliaeve]

If you watch enough English videos then the accent becomes easier and easier to understand

[@nhrbb19]

+Julia Chernov i agree with you

[@alexandriaking8544]

His accent is strong?

[@amaimmon]

whats that jacket? brand pls?

[@austinbragdon5359]

+amaimmon lewis leathers corsair

[@amaimmon]

+Austin Bragdon thank you mate

[@SullyDunn]

+Austin Bragdon how do you know

[@austinbragdon5359]

Sullivan Dunn He's advertised on their website. He wears that jacket all the fucking time.

[@autumnsecret5834]

am i the only one i miss his old hair style...

[@Songofchaos333]

Lol the older guy at the beginning and end was so sarky!!

[@Hellkello]

He should commentate on Thomas the Tank Engine

[@vodka9429]

EXCUSE ME, BUT I GOT TO SAY, ALEX TURNER LOOKS SO FUCKING MUCH LIKE DAVID TENNANT. BYE, LOVE YA. ♡♡♡

[@MysticSkySpirit]

That's Jeremy Paxman, it's just his way.

[@i0m913]

Я в шоке, неужели я что-то понял?:0

[@alexandriaking8544]

Los Angeleez

[@coffeyeoin5]

He's trying too hard to look 'nervously cool'. It's always been his look. He's never been nervous in an interview.

[@muratkoyuncu6284]

what is wrong with Alex's nape..

[@jackierobinson5766]

Alex turner Is clearly Stoned here,

[@PunksyAd]

i hear no hip hop influences in the new album, just rnb influences

[@Gorillaz12d]

The only song I can hear a bit of a hip hop influence is Why You Only Call Me When You're High.

[@leahvogelsimpson]

Now his current gf was a contestant on French xfactor haha! So coincidental.

[@jessicaaalba5221]

When he was with alexa chung he looked better and he made better music .

[@susana273]

Ikr😫

[@SA-sh4uh]

It does not matter ho he's dating he's fucking Alex turner he makes great music always

[@SA-sh4uh]

[@SA-sh4uh]

I ship milex im married to a woman im gay taylor bagley is just one of his love faces I can see it like when he dated arrielle he went with the greaser look and now he is rock star dracula

[@Seramelvn]

Oh god why he so hot?

[@Bloodswaller]

if everyone who gives an opinion is a prick, then yes, I'm a fucking prick, at least I don't flatter everything a band release, not because I'm a fan I must like every album of theirs.

[@evanphillips7976]

Good interview-ee but totally the wrong interviewer...

[@Bloodswaller]

so what's the point of the "hipter elitism" expression?, offend me?, if you think someone's a hipster by pointing out some of the bad elements of an album then you are quite ignorant.

[@DragonFly1329]

I don't understand a word he's saying but somehow I watched the entire video

[@RockyRozzy]

Shitty pop music? HAHAHAHAHAHA I DIED XD Totally agree!

[@robbiebrady7793]

Pp

[@Wenyi108]

Wtf?? Laundry haha

[@silenceiseverything4]

too much hair geeel

[@shitstain001]

Jesus the live clips they showed looked like the most boring live performance i've ever seen.

[@BarriosGroupie]

Gaydar alert: Man-spreading towards the interviewer

[@Lealea883]

I don't like his hair not that hair is important
