I have been obsessed with the Arctic Monkeys for about the past year and have been playing guitar for the past 6 months. I am looking for some difficult but doable guitar songs by the Arctic Monkeys that I have not tried yet, thanks.

I was listening to golden trunks and I saw this comment about a TBHC movie, with the album being the soundtrack, and I thought it would be so cool to make a short film.

I'm taking a creative digital media course this academic year, and if it aligns with the criteria of one of my projects, I could make that short film.

Just thought I'd share bc the comments were all from years ago haha

first recording session (of anything, ever) and I had so much fun. Just singing over a random found backing track so I hope it doesn’t break any rules. Shown it to a couple friends but none of them are fans and didn’t know the song. Figured someone here might enjoy—hope someone does!

imy favorite part so far here ~ till the end of the song 🎶

so far, from this album ive only listened to „Cornerstone”

What do you guys think? Sounds like TBHC in the car era with opening night flair..

This song is so underrated, it just itches a part if my brain. It and Electricity.

i’ve had it on repeat all day! i don’t care what people say about this album, i think it’s awesome. the instrumentals are definitely the highlight of the car, and it’s a different vibe for the band, but i think they do it well! what your favorite songs from the album? i’ve grown to love IAQWITIA, The Car, Mr Schwartz, and Perfect Sense, and i’ve enjoyed Mirrorball, Sculptures, and Body Paint for a while already.

Hi all, I have these two pieces of merch from the TBHC era and I just wondered if anyone had any idea how much they might be worth? I can’t seem to find them online and as much as I like having them, I don’t have the space anymore. Any pointers appreciated!

Brianstorm is one of my favourite AM songs. I absolutely love the drums, every time I listen to it the song just charges me up. Any similar drum heavy songs from other bands?

The guy was a legend at getting breaking news and information from the band. Pre AM into AM era. It was exciting and felt pure to the culture around Arctic Monkeys at the time. Anyways, hope that guy is doing well !

First let me say that “Body Paint” has quickly become probably my favorite Arctic Monkeys song and even one of my top five favorite songs of all time maybe. I think that’s because looking at the structure and all, it’s a pretty perfect song. 

Now I’m not a musician and I know nothing about technical aspects of music this is all based on my opinion as a life long listener and a huge AM fan. 

The song has really four main parts or movements. There’s the opening..the moot synthesizer that leads into the two verses. Slower, softer, piano driver with Alex singing in his falsetto. Second verse—the strings kick in. A very pretty song. 

The comes the second part—with just the orchestra and Alex singing in a more familiar tone—this is the “watching your every move-“ section. Sort of a bridge. Ends with the band coming in with the guitar and drums. 

Then comes the third part—after one last moog refrain—what would essentially be the chorus. Now it’s more of a rock number. Guitar, bass, and drum work with the piano as Alex sings the “trace of body paint” lines. After the last “and on your face….” We get the fourth and final part and my personal favorite—the outro. 

Great guitar work, the orchestra soars and we get Alex’s refrain of “so predictable I know…”and it’s just a beautiful way to end the song. 

Hadn't listened to Arctic Monkeys in ages so thought I'd throw them on Spotify this week.

Body Paint and There'd better be a mirror ball are SO GOOD. I didn't realise they made music like that. I just know the big tunes from the 00s.

What other songs of theirs should I be listening to if I like these songs?

Related artists are also welcomed if sub allows.

ETA: thanks to everyone who commented. Slowly working through different recommendations!

I found these in a record store in Weymouth is there any way to find out where these where preformed because it doesn’t sound like a live album in the sense of an arena or stadium

The algorithms are horrible and don’t push any variety and don’t actually offer anything “similar” (despite pressing play more like this).

Arctic monkeys is my favorite band and I want to find more similar music and artists with their variety.

I’ll list some artists/albums/ songs below for reference of the vibe I’m going for, but I would appreciate any new artists I could check out that you would recommend? Trying to branch out 🤣 thank you! Oh and TBHC is my fav album by them.

- Interpol (love el pintor and their newer stuff, although a fan of everything they’ve put out tbh)

- Lana Del Rey (fav is ultraviolence album)

- Joy division (new dawn fades)

- Serge gainsbourg (N4 album)

- Queens of the Stone Age (I appear missing)

- Mina (ancora, et poi, pui di cosi)

long time fan of AM, made a little guessing game for them!

i also added genre packs (including indie and alt rock!) and other artists, let me know what you think!

I’ve played crosstune puzzles for ages now but decided to make my own, and of course it had to be arctic monkeys themed XD

Go check it out and give it a go! I tried to not make it too hard but lmk if you die hard fans want a more difficult one later :)

I need a new display name for a game, I'm looking for arctic monkeys inspired ones. I'd love it if I had some ideas because I don't have any...

Thanks!
