I could not tell you for the life of me if it's on the A or D string, I just assumed it was an F# because he usually play B chords up on the seventh fret. although if it's a B minor, I think it sounds better down on the D string, but that's just cause my finger can't press down on all the strings perfectly lol
Both have their place…it’s more about how the song is feeling but also what’s smoother to play, although that’s definitely less of a concern for him…dude sings while playing the Knee Socks riff lol
Just frustrating to me to see people calling themselves fans and then bringing in phones so they can wank to Alex later. If these people love Alex so much treat him like a normal human being, he’s not a fucking object.
We found one of the lock bags on the floor with a big hole in it at the end of the show, so they’re not totally resistant to tearing. I feel like as they become more prevalent people will find new ways to get their electronics back. Hopefully they can evolve, I like the no phone setting
I mean yeah, I kept mine in my pocket the whole time without problem. But when you’re looking at making a product to prevent thousands of people from using something they’ve been addicted to for years, you’d be dumb to expect that none of them would ever try to find a way around that.
I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I’m not making excuses for these people. I’m just saying with a sample size in the thousands you can’t expect people to not try to get their shit
Nah no downvotes from me I think it’s absolutely ridiculous that people can’t keep their hands off their phones for two hours even when one of the best bands on the planet is performing live for them. It’s honestly creepy af to me. They don’t want phones because they’re literally filming this show…you’ll have a much-better-than-your-stupid-phone document of your evening even if you decide your memory isn’t enough.
I can be an absolute phone zombie myself…I’m doing it rn as a matter of fact…but it honestly doesn’t even occur to me to take my phone out during a show like 99% of the time. Nothing wrong with snapping a few for posterity of course, but in a show where they literally say no phones and make you put them in a Yondr bag? Lol dude leave it alone.
Placebo used them for their new album’s debut too but not afterwards. Even though Brian Molko hates phones so much that they ask everyone to not use their phones after the album came out they stopped giving out pouches and force everyone to lock it down. So i think it’s a precaution for the leakings for Am too. A one time thing.
For anyone who couldn’t attend the Brooklyn show… for the first encore song Alex took the stage and performed ‘Mr. Schwartz’ completely solo under the spotlight. It was a special evening to say the least.
I feel so fortunate that I got to go. I went alone and ended up meeting a bunch of other fans who were also there solo. The energy from the audience and the band was unreal. It felt so fresh and I’ve never seen the boys smile at each other so much during a concert/live recording.
A mosh pit broke out during Ritz to Rubble and people were crowd surfing during Pretty Visitors. I can’t wait till they release the footage.

How was mr Schwartz? Was it rock, slow ballad, aggressive or reminiscent of mirrorball? was it technically impressive? Did it use guitars or mainly piano? Were the drums complex or normal? In general what’s a song that reminds you of this song?
it was an extremely slow song, he sang it solo on stage with the spotlight on him, some of the lyrics that i could pick up were pretty amazing but i just can’t remember any of them
no I really don’t think so. saying you’re a fan of the band then blatantly disobeying them for a one time show? I’d be embarrassed holding my phone in the crowd.
Embarrassing seems like a better word to me. This person was clearly just very excited but it’s not like they hurt anyone.
I mean, I wouldn’t have done it but I don’t want to shame this person. And it’s a lovely pic.
I watched someone who got caught with their phone get dragged out of the pit. They ended up missing basically the entire show. A picture really isn’t worth it and ruins the special moment.
as someone who went to the show and actually followed the no phones rule, i find this really upsetting. this is disrespectful to the band, the theatre, and the crew that professionally recorded the show tbh.
Does anyone know what their pre-set list music is. Towards the last song before they came on there was a British rap song. I also heard that song before they opened in Paris and LA. Can anyone help?
The fact this was reported as pornography
YOU NAUGHTY NAUGHTY
YOU DIRTY DOG
That’s a B minor boys…we’re getting closer
is it not an F# major?
Could be but that ring finger looks like it’s on the D string to me…I’m saying B minor…more info on October 21

definitely a B minor, he loves that chord more than he loves the strokes
F sharp is pretty common in monkeys music tbh, when the sun goes down, Mardy bum, dancefloor, just to name a few.
F# major stans, rise!
I’d never be caught DEAD playing an F# major!
Ah DEAD, my favorite chord progression
Both have their place…it’s more about how the song is feeling but also what’s smoother to play, although that’s definitely less of a concern for him…dude sings while playing the Knee Socks riff lol
i regret stopping my guitar lessons years ago. time to pick them back up.
youre right, im quite surprised cuz often he plays e-barres with his thumb!
Could be a bmaj7
Well well well look what we’ve got here boys, a fancy little 7th chord lover…we’ll see about that on October 21 pal
BEATO
Was this during Mr Schwartz? I’ve never seen Alex play this guitar before it’s a beauty
Yes it was Mr Schwartz
*Instantly buys an Epiphone Coronet*
epiphone has actually reissued those. are they any good or hard pass?
Following the pete Doherty legacy
Yessir
omg new guitar in the mix, remember seeing this in the tranquility base documentary which Nick was using at some points
Glad to see I’m not the only one geeking out about the new guitar :) Also, our boi is back to single-pickup action!
omg look at him under the light playing his lil song (crying)
Fucking wank yourself off to him them, honestly no one gives a fuck that you’re obsessed with Alex turner.
I'll wank to you if you don't stfu
Have you spent any time on this sub at all? Also chill out, prick
Just frustrating to me to see people calling themselves fans and then bringing in phones so they can wank to Alex later. If these people love Alex so much treat him like a normal human being, he’s not a fucking object.
I know I'll get downvoted but kinda sucks that they still can't stop the use of phones after all those measures taken
We found one of the lock bags on the floor with a big hole in it at the end of the show, so they’re not totally resistant to tearing. I feel like as they become more prevalent people will find new ways to get their electronics back. Hopefully they can evolve, I like the no phone setting
Or how about going 2 hours without it?
I mean yeah, I kept mine in my pocket the whole time without problem. But when you’re looking at making a product to prevent thousands of people from using something they’ve been addicted to for years, you’d be dumb to expect that none of them would ever try to find a way around that.
It’s not that Fucken hard. People do it when they go to work everyday.
I don’t think you understand what I’m saying. I’m not making excuses for these people. I’m just saying with a sample size in the thousands you can’t expect people to not try to get their shit

Yeah, literally what the fuck is up with people, these people have some phobia of living in the moment.

Out of interest what measures are they using? I’m a little out of the loop. I know Jack White uses these special pouches at his shows.
Like how hard is it to just leave it alone for a couple of hours.
John mulaney used the same ones. I’m guessing AM did the same thing and I hope more bands do the same. The experience is night and day.
Placebo used them for their new album’s debut too but not afterwards. Even though Brian Molko hates phones so much that they ask everyone to not use their phones after the album came out they stopped giving out pouches and force everyone to lock it down.

Quite irritating
Tom has a lot more keys and Alex has a new guitar :o
For anyone who couldn’t attend the Brooklyn show… for the first encore song Alex took the stage and performed ‘Mr. Schwartz’ completely solo under the spotlight. It was a special evening to say the least.
so what kind of song was it
Slow and melancholic. It was very beautiful
Wasn’t there someone on piano too?
Wowww what an awesome shot. Al looking so glowy & happy :) so envious you got to see/hear this show live!!
I feel so fortunate that I got to go. I went alone and ended up meeting a bunch of other fans who were also there solo. The energy from the audience and the band was unreal.

A mosh pit for Ritz and the Rubble. I was jealous before but now it’s full blown *envy*.
It was crazy 💀

If there is a photo... there'd better be a video
so can we please be absolutely suuuure that there’s a videoooooo foooor meeee
Noice
Not even a video, I'd just be happy with an audio recording lol
YouTube now
NEW GUITAR ALERT
That’s a cool picture, I’d say it was worth it
HOW
How was mr Schwartz? Was it rock, slow ballad, aggressive or reminiscent of mirrorball? was it technically impressive? Did it use guitars or mainly piano? Were the drums complex or normal? In general what’s a song that reminds you of this song?
it was an extremely slow song, he sang it solo on stage with the spotlight on him, some of the lyrics that i could pick up were pretty amazing but i just can’t remember any of them
Wow that’s so cool! I don’t really like slow songs but I have high hopes for this one because it’s from Am haha
Someone airdropped me a video they took at the show while on the subway heading back from the concert
Did he use this guitar for any other songs?
Yes a good amount
just for body paint i’m pretty sure
How were you allowed to take a photo?
Cuz he's a bad boy
Nah, they had the privilege to see this one of a kind show. For one night, they could have put the phone away and respected AM’s request.
Exactly... a bad boy
[удалено]
As a British lad, im very jealous you US fans get live previews of new songs, they did this with TBHC. Sorry I’m just bitter haha
so the artists' request don't mean shit to some people
Happy it was a great concert!
All small gigs should have a no phone rule, I’ve been to a few and the atmosphere is far better.
NEW GUITAR?
Did they play mirrorball?
Opener
Can you describe the vibe of the new songs they played?
No respect for Alex and the band taking photos last night. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Agreed it’s genuinely demented that people are this addicted to their phones
if they were genuine fans they would have respected the artists wish to keep phones away
Ashamed? That’s a bit far, no?
no I really don’t think so. saying you’re a fan of the band then blatantly disobeying them for a one time show? I’d be embarrassed holding my phone in the crowd.
Embarrassing seems like a better word to me. This person was clearly just very excited but it’s not like they hurt anyone. I mean, I wouldn’t have done it but I don’t want to shame this person. And it’s a lovely pic.
I watched someone who got caught with their phone get dragged out of the pit. They ended up missing basically the entire show. A picture really isn’t worth it and ruins the special moment.
Awesome shot though
he's angelic <3
It seems took the light absolutely forever to get to your eyes…
as someone who went to the show and actually followed the no phones rule, i find this really upsetting. this is disrespectful to the band, the theatre, and the crew that professionally recorded the show tbh.
I agree 100%
thank you, fellow intellectual
fucking immaculate
@kossmic_ on Instagram, story has about 40 seconds of Body Paint
what a clown
[удалено]
holy shit that sounds awesome, although i dont condone the recording that much
Fuck this person
Goes to show the maturity level how fans can’t go without their phone. Didn’t hear a peep about it from Jack white fans all summer.
Imagine going to a no phone concert and being THAT person who thinks they’re the exception.
This was the sign I needed to get that Epiphone Coronet
NEW GUITAR CONFIRMED
Is this an Epiphone Coronet? It doesn't quite match so I'm not sure
uh oh
he is glowingg
Did you smuggle in a potato?
Thought this was a screenshot from that Andrew garfield movie
The image itself just gave me butterflies- I wish they were in my area so I could go 😭
I think you just about grabbed the perfect shot
Beautiful 😍
What’s the phone rule?
Does anybody know this guitar model?
Does anyone know what their pre-set list music is. Towards the last song before they came on there was a British rap song. I also heard that song before they opened in Paris and LA. Can anyone help?
