Arctic Monkeys @ Album de la Semaine Canal+ , Paris Sept 11 2013

Arctic Monkeys @ Album de la Semaine Canal+ , Paris Sept 11 2013

 We listen to the album before going to see Arctic monkeys perform it live @ canal+ tv show in front of less than 200 people, we like it even though there are many slow songs.

I have to say that after seeing the band playing those songs for an hour, it's boring, boring and boring...
Even more unbearable is Alex' attitude on stage trying to impersonate an American crooner, this is so ridiculous when someone is trying so hard to be cool. Josh Homme IS cool but he's naturally cool without playing a part. The guitar player IS cool but Alex , come on man, specially with his ridiculous American accent.

Almost all the songs played tonight are in slow motion, the new single sounds very good and as soon as the band is bringing out the guitars ( for one song) it sounds terrific unfortunately only one song.

So Alex, stop impersonating Elvis with some ridiculous poses and bring back the heavy stuff !!!

Arctic Monkeys + Miles Kane @ Casino de Paris, Jan 31 2012

Arctic Monkeys + Miles Kane @ Casino de Paris , Jan 31 2012

Arctic Monkeys & Miles Kane are playing a sold -out French Tour including 3 shows in Paris @ Casino de Paris tonight, @ Olympia on Feb 03rd & @ Zénith on Feb 04th.

Tonight is the smallest show on the tour in this beautiful theatre, no more than 1500 people.
Miles Kane is opening on all these gigs and is on stage very early @ 7:30pm sharp.
Once again he performed a great gig , his music is much more lively and rock than on his solo record, so don't get fooled by the album it's not too pop on stage.
He was in Paris not so long ago for the Inrocks Fest in November of last year and before that in August @ Rock en Seine festival.(Click for review Pics & video) and he will be back in the French capital @ Cigale on April 30 for his own headlining show.
Hard to Miss. If you haven't seen him yet I guess you're doing it on purpose and you're wrong as he has one of the best album of 2011 and this young lad from Liverpool is rocking on stage.
Great 40 min set with a Jacques Dutronc cover and a new song here on video.

A new song by Miles Kane:

Lots of girls tonight in the audience, the theater is packed for the Arctic Monkeys.
On stage @ 8:50 pm the beginning of the set is terrific with "Don't sit down" & "Teddy Picker", it's a bit too loud from where we are standing at the balcony, the stage is very simple and they are all dressed in black.
We've seen them many times and we've always been disappointed, the stage is not their element which is a shame for a rock band.

I guess things have changed now, they seem to enjoy what they're doing better than they used to.

Alex is in good spirit : talking, acting & headbanging like I've never seen him before, he's no Angus Young but it's getting close, well almost.

Probably one of the best show I've seen them performed.
Don't miss them they are improving.
Now they they semm to enjoy being on stage they should get to the next level and play a longer song as they left @ 10:10 pm.
80 min is still a bit short after 4 albums.

Alex Turner is da Man
