So whilst the other three all seem to be growing their hair, Jamie in particularly wants to rock the druid look, Matt is going in the opposite direction.
Rewinding back a couple of days, we arrived in Auckland still buzzing from the great start to the tour in Wellington, where any cobwebs were well and truly blown away. Onto the Powerstation and a return to the more intimate venues where the band is within touching distance and fitting all the production's gear onto the stage as well as accommodating support acts is a logistical nightmare. Collapsing Cities and Zane Lowe really fired up the crowd and by the time the Monkeys took the stage the ohms and electricity generated in the Powerstation was off the chart.
The gig was simply awesome, the new stuff really hit home and 'Crying Lightning' stole the show again. And so on to the first of the Big Day Out Festivals. Nursing hangovers we arrived at the site just in time for dinner.The sun is beginning to set and so begins the walk to the Orange stage.
Big Day Out Auckland, New Zealand
There are still no sign of nerves that they are about to be playing to around 40,000 people. The intro music kicks in and the band walks out to a crescendo of applause. As the day reaches twighlight and the set reaches its climax it is with jubilation but a heavy heart that we say farewell to New Zealand once more. Such a beautiful country... We never did get to sky dive. Maybe next time eh?
Australia here we come.

De quotes komen uit het recente ABC radio-interview.quote:New Arctic Monkeys album 'two thirds complete'
Arctic Monkeys have revealed that they have nearly completed their forthcoming third album.
Frontman Alex Turner said he was "thrilled" with the band's efforts so far, and said he hoped to release the follow-up to 2007's 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' this summer.
"We're going to have a new album with you by the summer I think," he told Australian network Triple J. "[It's] 78 per cent is done, I have been working in fractions actually – two thirds. [I'm] thrilled with it."
Turner went on to talk about recent recording sessions the band held with Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme near the Joshua Tree National Park in California.
"It's been great fun," he said. "We went out to the desert for a little bit, we did two sessions with Josh, we had a great time.
"There's a few other buildings around there but it is certainly cut off. The guy who owns it is called Dave Catching, who plays guitar in the Eagles Of Death Metal, and it's his house. He was a great host.
"It's quite an inspiring place, there's a certain element of dust in the sound of it."
Arctic Monkeys were recently announced as headliners for the forthcoming Oya festival, set to take place in Norway in August.
Arctic Monkeys recently debuted four new songs at while playing gigs in New Zealand.
Turner maakte al gebruik van zijn nieuwe Fender Jazzmaster bij de meest recente TLSP-optredens.quote:Arctic Monkeys' New Guitar Gear
One of Britain's biggest bands, the Arctic Monkeys, have unveiled a crop of new songs at the Big Day Out music festival in Australia, this month. The band could also be seen playing some cool new gear...
Alex and his new Fender Jazzmaster
The Arctic Monkeys previewed new songs at the Australian Big Day Out festival…and could be seen with new gear, too! The band started the set with a new song, “Pretty Visitors”. In it, Alex Turner doesn’t play guitar, but plays an old Vox Continental organ. Those old organs are excellent, and bands such as The Beatles used them. The modern equivalent is the Nord C1 Organ, which was directly inspired by the Vox Continental.
On the latest issue of NME, there’s a live review of the Arctic Monkeys gig, and a photograph of Alex and his pedalboard…in the dim-lit stage. But we can see the Vox Continental and his pedals - which seemed to have changed slightly from the last time ’round.
In order, here’s the pedals Alex Turner used at Big Day Out:
Boss LS-2 Line Selector > Boss TU-2 Tuner > Dunlop Uni-Vibe (not 100% sure about this one, but looks like it) > Ibanez TS-808 Tubescreamer > Boss DM-1 Analogue Delay
Note: the Uni-Vibe Alex used is the Chorus/ Vibrato model (two footswitches) and not the current Stereo Chorus Uni-Vibe.
He also had a Morley ABY footswitch.
His guitar, as the photograph above shows, was a Fender Jazzmaster sunburst.

Het pre-show gedeelte geeft me een déjà vu van het vorige filmpje...quote:The View From The Laundry Room...
Queensland, or more importantly, the glorious Gold Coast. Long beaches. Great waves. Surfers Paradise. But lots of sun? My friends out here who told me to expect glorious weather were clearly fibbing.
We arrived on a hot and sticky, but overcast afternoon. By the evening we were experiencing showers, so all we could manage was a quick wander around the town, which seemed more like Malia down under, than the paradise we had been expecting, so we swiftly retreated back to the hotel bar and dug in for the night.
The morning of the Gold Coast BDO we make sure we arrive on site a little earlier so we could check out some of the other artists playing at the festival. It has to be said that The Prodigy, in particular, was one of the best gig experiences of my life. Their stage presence and the crowds enthusiasm combined with a bass capable of bringing on a heart murmur, was immense. Even better was watching the look of horror on the faces of the kids who were staying in our hotel as the scary looking trio of Keith, Maxim and Liam from the Prodigy walked by.

So later on with freshly washed joggers donned and Margaritas all round, the Monkeys take to the stage for their first Australian gig of 2009. With it already going dark, and over 50000 rampaging Aussies dancing and waving glow sticks, Al was on great form- crawling under the piano during Red Right Hand. During the gig Matt received a souvenir from some adoring fans, a flag saying, "Who the fuck is Matthew Helders" which he was very pleased with.
We now have two days off to have some fun in the sun- fingers crossed- on the Gold Coast. Wet and Wild tomorrow! I haven't been to a water park since I was 14! Bring it on.

Ik durf er geen geld op in te zetten... Maar ik kan mij niet voorstellen dat ze zo lang gaan stilzitten. Ik ben er nog steeds vrij zeker van ze na hun huidige tournee het album gaan afronden in Engeland, en dat album 3 uiterlijk in mei uitkomt. Anders wordt het scenario 2: Release in eind augustus/begin september, nazomer-festivals.quote:Op vrijdag 23 januari 2009 23:53 schreef Merkie het volgende:

Had er een paar gezien op youtube maar geluid was meestal crap, en dan krijg je ook een verkeerde impressie van de nummers.
Als er al links zijn gepost in dit topic dan mijn excuses, maar heb er alleen een paar met slechte geluidskwaliteit gezien.
Is er trouwens al wat meer info over de tours die ze gaan doen vanaf eind mei (misschien pinkpop) of daarna (lowlands)?
Ja, ook van dolphinmusic.co.ukquote:Op zaterdag 24 januari 2009 00:13 schreef Aisumasen het volgende:

Wet 'n' Wild
Wet and Wild? Dry and mildly amused more like. We chose to go to a water park on possibly the busiest day of the year, 45 minute queues for the rides in the blazing sun was no fun at all. Still, the rides we did get on were great, although I was robbed of the 50 dollar cash pot in the super eight speed race by Big Nige, who slid unnaturally fast down the shoot. I'm looking forward to a grudge match one day soon - and this time I will take no prisoners. I should add at this point that Al was beaten by a 12 year old girl, which makes losing easier to bear.
Following on from the success of the BDO in the Gold Coast, we had two full days off plus a travel day to Sydney before we had to get back to work. Most of us decided to hire a car and take a trip up to Byron Bay for some R and R on the beach. Byron was stunning, and Watego Beach was a REAL surfer's paradise. The weather was great, the sea refreshing, and the bat and ball competitive. If only we had the forethought to pick up some supplies for a beach barbie, we could have stayed there until bedtime.

Bij mij niet, nog niet gepost iig. Dit is toch het beste nieuwe nummer volgens de bezoekers van de optredens? Ik vind hem op het eerste gehoor (eigenlijk 5e) niet zo goed. "Go-Kart" en "Dangerous Animals" luister ik juist de hele dag, puur vanwege de riffs.quote:Op dinsdag 27 januari 2009 17:31 schreef Panic_A het volgende:

The Dressing Room...
The gig at the Hordern was possibly the hottest gig yet. The security in the pit were supplying the flushed but elated faces in the front rows with water, and when it was time to leave the venue the band experienced a Beatlemania moment, with a lot of screaming fans waiting outside the gates for a glimpse of them. The determination of those who had been camped out there all day paid off as the band stayed until every item was signed.

The next day and the temperature in Sydney showed no signs of subsiding. In fact today, as there was no breeze, the dry heat felt even hotter. In order to cool down we decided to take a boat trip around the harbour and spend the morning on one of the small beaches just outside of Sydney centre. Unfortunately there was one seat short so yours truly slid around the boat like those dogs in the back of the van in the film Dumb and Dumber, much to everyone's amusement. Fish and chips dinner at the superb Doyle's restaurant and it was time to head back to the hotel and pick up all our gear for the BDO show in Sydney.
Timm, our tour manager warns us not to drink too much alcohol before the gig as a few of the previous bands have been suffering a bit under the relentless heat. As soon as his back is turned Jamie cracks a bottle of coopers ale open in defiance. Brits abroad eh!

Ik had er gisterenochtend niet eens meer op gerekend. Was echt blij verrast om te merken dat én "Crying Lightning" én "Red Right Hand" uitgezonden werden. Voor het eerst een nieuw nummer in luisterbare kwaliteit kunnen horen. Ik houd de oordelen over de andere nieuwe nummers nog even voor me, heb nog geen enkele keer de drang gevoeld om ze opnieuw te luisteren. Dat komt wel, als ze in goede kwaliteit opduikenquote:Op dinsdag 27 januari 2009 17:31 schreef Panic_A het volgende:
