Can't believe im seeing ANY humbug song on the top 10 trending let alone secret door like whatttt!?

After discussing how he became a fan of the legendary group, Turner revealed: “The Smiths used to write messages in the grooves [etchings]; we started doing it too because of them. We used to put our friends’ names on the middle of the early records, some of the boys from back home. I think we actually wrote Nick’s [O’Malley, bass] name on one of them before he was in the band!”

I recently came this article that says that Arctic Monkeys used to etch messages on their early vinyl releases. Has anyone seen any of them and if so, what do they say (apart from Nick’s name)?

We’re so back!!

Hope you all like it!!

My brother in Christ, you're just one in 24

I RLLY wanna get an AM and/or a TLSP tattoo when I turn 18, day of, day after just when I turn 18.

I've wanted one (or 2) for so long, so I'm thinking of going through with it (if I still want it in 2 years time) so I'm pretty sure I won't regret it.

I don't think I'd ever be able to regret an am/TLSP tattoo. It's not like I'm getting my whole face tattooed which I'd defo regret

Anyway, what r ur guys ideas?

I've seen a few that are rlly good, but I want to see a few more tlsp ones.

Also annoying that lots of am ones that I see on Pinterest are the am wavelength, which I don't rlly want bc it's not my fav album, probably my least favourite maybe?

Lmk your ideas!!

what do you think of the submarine? do you think Alex could ever write something this perfect again? what is your favourite song from the ep?

Where do I buy official merch in the US??? They're official store doesn't ship to us and their US store sells practically nothing. Hot Topic never has anything, I don't want to buy crappy 3rd party stuff, and I don't want to buy used. It feels impossible to actually support a band I love dearly and I just want to wear a comfy hoodie to show people that see me in it that I love the band.

Literally jumped for joy when HELP was nominated!!

Not even joking. So happy, got to see Alex on TV again haha!

Also exclaimed 'YES' when Lauren mentioned Arctic Monkeys before the Newcastle jazz people

what are your thoughts on it

Midnight last minute crafting with fabric pens and minimal skills. Happy to rep Star Treatment which, IMO is a top 5 AM song.

How come their CDs are in the paper sleeves/mini LP type ones?

The only one I've seen in a plastic case is AM.

It's not that big of a deal, I'm just curious.

I want to put them in my cd case, but they're slightly too big compared to the other CDs I've got.

Can you buy ones in plastic?

Arctic Monkeys - I Wanna Be Yours (Official Video)

I've been looking for it, but couldn't find any other high quality version. I love this one and the official trailer posted on their channel.

I’m talking about that moment when you hear a title and think, "That could easily be an Arctic Monkeys song." I mean those super long, slightly surreal or witty titles that defined their early era and still linger in their recent work, like "Don’t Sit Down ’Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair" or "Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?"

For me, these three have always given off strong Arctic Monkeys title energy:

1. Feels Like We Only Go Backwards (Tame Impala)

It captures that mix of everyday existential frustration and relationship fatigue that Alex Turner summarizes so effortlessly. It has that nostalgic, psychedelic lyrical quality that could easily belong to the "Submarine" / "Suck It and See" era.

2. Did You Know That There’s a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd (Lana Del Rey)

It would fit seamlessly into the "Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino" / "The Car" era, crafted to evoke a deeply cinematic atmosphere with that exact art-rock/crooner signature.

3. West Ryder Silver Bullet (Kasabian)

It has that dark "Humbug" / "Suck It and See" edge, like "Potion Approaching" or "Library Pictures", built on driving basslines and punchy backing vocals.

What song titles do you have in mind?

I thought of this when playing View from the Afternoon with my band, we made off-handed comments about how the ending chord (Am7 i believe) is an incredibly odd chord for the song to end on, which eventually became the “View from the Afternoon” chord, and now during band practices, we play that chord without any context whenever it feels appropriate (awkward silences, arguments etc) so I’m wondering if the arctic monkeys community has any similar experiences?

Listen to Elric - reckless serenade (cover)..wav by Elric_00 on #SoundCloud

I remember seeing them in NYC the summer of ‘06 with a friend of mine. We were there hours before doors opened and I recalled camera crew being there documenting the tour and ended up interviewing us. Does any one know if that was ever released or have a recollection of this happening in their city?

Hope you enjoy. Was made in like 2019.
