My uncle recently introduced me to the Arctic Monkeys, and I am not afraid to say that I loved them immediately. Their music is is a mixture of R&B, Garage Rock, and Indie Rock, with elements of David Bowie, Black Sabbath, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones; at the same time remaining unique. The Arctic Monkeys, formed by Alex Turner, Matt Helders, Nick ‘O’ Malley and Jamie Cook, are possibly one of the only rock bands formed in the late 2000s, and still playing today. Some of my favourite tracks by them include ‘Four out of Five’, ‘Mardy Bum’ and ‘Snap Out Of It’, but my most favourite songs by far are ‘R U Mine’, and ‘Do I Wanna Know’. When I first heard ‘Do I Wanna Know’, my fingers were itching to learn it on the guitar for days… and when I finally learnt it, I couldn’t stop playing it! The guitar riff is catchy and cool, and is sure to get stuck in your head for weeks.
So, I have decided to share with you, my guitar covers of “R U Mine” and ‘Do I Wanna Know’. As Alex Turner himself once said, “That rock ‘n’ roll, eh? That rock ‘n’ roll, it just won’t go away. It seems like it’s faded away sometimes, but it will never die. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Dear Nainu, Loved your piece very much though, truth be told , apart from the Beetles, the other names didn’t ring a bell. But I am sure that I will get th know them all through you! So keep making your lovely music! Love, Nani
