Artic Monkeys on TV

PaulBrewer

Did anyone watch the Artic Monkeys live from The Apollo last night on TV?

I watched it on my humble stereo TV , just set to stereo, no extra wide stuff or FX. It's the standard setting.

The mix sounded brutal with the vocal being practically buried .

So I tried it in mono and it was fine.

Anyone else notice?

That's funny, my mate texted me last night saying the exact same thing - except with the stereo part obviously. Must have a look for it on youtube.

Er I might be in a minority of one here but I have to say I don't really like the Artic Monkeys. I don't really like their sound, the drummer tends to dominate the whole thing and the guitars are a bit to raw/harsh.

Apologies to all you AM fans.

Interesting, I was wondering was it a TV processing thing ....

I didn't know they were on. I would have had a look out of morbid curiosity though.

I am surprised at the level of success they have had as they sound to me like a band in the very early stages of development. I can see them being great in a few years time as they mature. That's assuming all the current success doesn't send them off the rails.

How highly do you rate them Paul?

I watched it on bbc 4 in Belfast a few weeks ago and thought it was excellent. was in a hotel so couldn't blast it but didn't notice any bad sound.

I know their songs though so maybe didn't notice the low vocal.

I really didn't get them at first but think they are deadly now.

I think the difference is whether it was stereo or mono you listened to. Mono was fine.

I actually have this on Dvd and the sound is pretty awful on it, not sure how i would make it mono though.
