DilShmil Yosa checck out Mcfly. same case

Totally

Yesss they sound so much better live

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

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

how?

Training, lol

The guitar riff makes me cringes

I absolutely agree.

Hmmm

What about Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars?

***** 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.

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

+carnival hounds Spot on.

david bowie

and its on the moon this time

and. is. THIS. WHAT YOU WANTED?

TO LIVE, IN A HOUSE THAT IS HAUNTED?

Typical cheap fuzz, I think

Sounds like someone farting

Zvex's Wooly Mammoth

His hips are actually really great liars

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

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

no its actually not lol. trust me. haha

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.

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.

It's cool man :)

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 :)

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. :(

so true

ecxactly

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.

nah

+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!

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

Larry David is my spirit animal.

Angelina Christian that picture is amazing

All that pouting... XD

lmao

+Αγγελικη Μ. (Society Sucks!) To play with his guitar?

Tyger Voods ofc

+Αγγελικη Μ. (Society Sucks!) lol

Im ready too!

50 shades of me cringe

They're last Letterman show was in 2011

and nephew of Charlie Manson ...haha

slag

Yes that's normal

he's actually well known for his 12 string

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

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.

+cola poker you're right mate

Letterman had a lot of good acts on back in the day.

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 :)

Smokin Yankee The funk might fracture your nose

***** 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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

Patrice Urie It's working tho!

it works even today 2018 lol

2020 and it's still working

Damn, İt's still working -2021-

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

Which doesn't he have?

+Alberto Sauma You tried, but failed.

beta build elvis

And Ethan Hawke ON GUITAR

nick's like "did u just see that" dead into the camera right after lmao

Lool IKR

sounds awfull though

+71hammyman bitch are u deaf???

+netflixer really? you're clearly not musically gifted are you, so yes it does sound rather bad, almost out of tune

+netflixer and cheap, looks good though

+71hammyman well i guess i'm not musically gifted but it fits well to the song

First of all cretin, if hes playing a 12 string he's clearly using more then 2 strings. And he's using it cause the riff is played on a 12 string in the recording, he's using it cause he wants that higher octave sound.
