Just watched it on pitchfork, it's a really good cover.

Also how have I not seen Alex Turner dressed as Heisenberg for Halloween until now? I can't stop laughing.

That's the one, it's horrendous. He looks like Casper.

But yeah he's definitely got a sense of humour still in interviews and shit. Bantering with Jools and all that.

Went to the Cardiff Gig last night. Epic.

Good setlist, with a mixture of just about everything. Switch 2 or 3 songs out for better known ones like they did at Glasto and this would be a popular Reading headline set.

I do wish they'd drop Old Yellow Bricks in favour of something else from FWN though.

Were people selling tickets outside the venue? If so do you know how much they were going for?

[Ipayne]

I heard at the Manchester gig they were going for £70 absolute minimum, scumbags.

If you don't mind missing the first 20 minutes, you'll get them near face value I'd imagine

Mind you, that would be the case with most arena gigs, but people seem to be desperate to see them all of a sudden. If I was you, I'd keep my money and use it to see Arcade Fire and go to a couple of decent academy gigs with it

It just seems to be far too hard to get tickets for any bands these days

Heard they were out all night partying. Wonder if that's connected...

[the wonderwhy]

I know people on here sometimes dislike Alex but there's no way he'd cancel just because of a hangover...

If any of you have read that Daily Fail article posted earlier, it does seem awfully suspicious that one of them has come down with an 'illness' this late on.

Arctic Monkeys have been together for over a decade.

They've played through hangovers before.

It's not a hangover, they've played several gigs (you can see the footage) where they've been throwing up on stage. Alex's throat is fucked, he's been ordered to rest by the meds.

Edit: Just to add, that's the official line, and i'm not naive enough not to think the "sore throat" wasn't brought on by the free whiskey/whisky at the Mercury's last night.

Water is wet.

Wonder why they've started cancelling for hangovers now then.

[thetime]

They've not, is my point.

[Yellow_Fellow]

You don't have a point as nobody knows.
