Arctic Monkeys headlining London Astoria in 2005 🤯

Untouchable at that time - new / raw / energetic and without the pompous shit they have now

I was there. Crowd sang every word of every song. Even before they'd released anything. Insane. It was their first London gig, everyone there was from Sheffield.

@MishMarshall68 Before the biker leather jacket, Elvis quiff and dodgy American crooning voice took over 🤦‍♂️ Don’t forget who you are…

One of my favourite ever gigs. Saw them a few months before that with about 50 people. Mad.

Got to see them open for Oasis in 2006, my first concert 🥰

@talesofilosofo os caras tavam 20 atrás sendo headline de festival sem nem ter lançado álbum ainda e a galera TODA cantando as músicas dos maluco

So annoying how they turned out.

I was lucky enough to see them in Munich in 2005. Energy was unreal in a small club. Got a tune on video before large bouncer threatened to throw me out if I continued to record. I'll dig it out. Only 30 seconds or so but that clip is bouncing!

wish I was around in those times. do people even surf at AM gigs anymore? didn't see any last time

INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS PLZZ

Humbug, Tranquility base and the car are their best albums.

Back when they were the biz 👌

If only he knew

@SimonRusbridge are these shit as well?🤣

@Caoland94

When they were alright and before turner started sucking himself off like bono

These guys are terrific live.

Few of my mates saw them at university gigs. They did Bucks uni and they’ve still got AM stickers from that night. Few months later they were everywhere.

AAAAAA

Best time to see them live

Those 2005 gigs were unrivalled 👌

@tomshaw___ They were so fucking good early on.

Great

Before they went all Maroon 5 on us.

mad at myself for being toddler instead of at this show 😣

first time i heard them i genuinely thought it was a piss take, fucking shite

The glory days
