Arctic Monkeys - Teddy Picker (Live) Alex Turner and Jamie Cook asked for instruments as Christmas presents and both received (More) Alex Turner and Jamie Cook asked for instruments as Christmas presents and both received guitars.[15] After teaching themselves to play, the pair formed a band with Turner's friends Andy Nicholson and Matt Helders. Nicholson already played bass, so Helders ended up on drums — "that was all that were left...they all had guitars so I bought a drum kit after a bit."[15] Although reports suggested they named themselves after Helders' uncle's (or even father's) band, Helders later admitted that these reports were false, claiming "we made that up 'cause we got so many people asking us that in the UK, so we just started making stories up",[16] and that he just didn't have the heart to tell the original reporter he'd been lying.[15]

They began rehearsing at Yellow Arch Studios in Neepsend,[17] and their first gig came on 2003-06-13 at The Grapes in Sheffield city-centre.[18] After a few performances, they began to record demos and burn them onto CDs to give away at gigs. With a limited number of CDs available, fans began to rip the music back onto their computers and share it amongst themselves. The group did not mind, saying "we never made those demos to make money or anything. We were giving them away free anyway — that was a better way for people to hear them. And it made the gigs better, because people knew the words and came and sang along."[16] They themselves took no responsibility for their music, admitting that they did not even know how to get their songs onto the Internet.[16] When asked about the popularity of the band's MySpace site in an interview with Prefix Magazine, the band pointed out that they did not even know what MySpace was, and that the site had originally been created by their fans. "[When we went number one in England] we were on the news and radio about how MySpace has helped us. But that's just the perfect example of someone who doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. We actually had no idea what it was."[16]
They began to grow in popularity across the north of England,[19] receiving attention from BBC Radio and the British tabloid press. Mark Bull, a local amateur photographer, filmed the band's performances and made the music video to "Fake Tales of San Francisco", releasing it on his web-site,[16] alongside the contents of Beneath the Boardwalk — a collection of the band's songs which he named after a local music venue.
In May 2005, Arctic Monkeys released their first EP, Five Minutes with Arctic Monkeys, featuring the songs "Fake Tales of San Francisco" and "From the Ritz to the Rubble". This release was limited to 1500 CDs and 2000 7" records, but was also available to download from the iTunes Music Store. Soon after, the band played at the Carling Stage of the Reading and Leeds Festivals, reserved for less known or unsigned bands. Their appearance was hyped by much of the music press and the band was received by an unusually large crowd for the billing they played. The critically acclaimed[20] performance included spontaneous singalongs of tracks that were only available as demos on the Internet. (Less)
Arctic Monkeys - Norway Interview Turner has maintained a very private life, and shunned media publicity when declared the Coolest Man (More) Turner has maintained a very private life, and shunned media publicity when declared the Coolest Man On The Planet by NME magazine in December 2005. He has distanced himself from the celebrity lifestyle, he and
the band are often spotted around Sheffield, supporting local bands, returning to clubs such as 'The Leadmill'[citation needed] and watching their football team Sheffield Wednesday. Blender magazine have described him as "the least talkative member of the group, chewing over his answers for so long that he ends up doubting his own words"[11].Turner used to play a Fender olympic white American standard Stratocaster, and later a black American standard Fender Stratocaster guitar, both sporting maple fretboards, until the release of the band's single "Brianstorm" and the second album Favourite Worst Nightmare. When touring the new album he uses a black Fender Bronco with a black pickgaurd and rosewood fretboard, a guitar discontinued by Fender. Also, during live performances of "If You Were There, Beware", he uses a Gretsch Spectra Sonic. He uses Orange AD30T amplifiers. [10] He has also been using Bad Cat amps recently.
During the Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not-era Turner´s pedalboard consisted of two Pro Co Rat 2 distortion pedals and a Boss TU-2 tuner. Now, touring Favourite Worst Nightmare, he has replaced the Pro Co pedals with an Ibanez Ts-808 Vintage Tubescreamer overdrive pedal. He has also extended the pedalboard with a Hughes & Kettner Rotosphere MK2, a Danelectro Reel Echo, a Boss LS-2 Line Selector and an Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man.
The band resisted signing to a record label, refusing to change their songs to suit the industry — "Before the hysteria started, the labels would say, 'I like you, but I'm not sure about this bit, and that song could do with this changing...' We never listened."[18] Their cynicism with the industry was such that record company scouts were refused guaranteed guest list entry for their gigs, a move described by MTV Australia as "We've got this far without them — why should we let them in?".[21] The success of the strategy was illustrated with a series of sell-out gigs across the UK. October 2005 saw them sell out the historic London Astoria, and Turner saw this as proof that they were justified to ignore the record companies, saying "Once it all kicked off, we didn't care anymore. In London, the kids were watching the band, and the record company were at the back watching the kids watching the band."[18]
Eventually, they signed to Domino in June 2005. The band almost signed to an undisclosed "other label", but were attracted to the "DIY ethic" of Domino owner Laurence Bell, who ran the label from his flat and only signed bands that he liked personally.[22] The UK's Daily Star tabloid newspaper reported that this was followed in October 2005 by a £1m publishing deal with EMI and a £725,000 contract with Epic for the United States.[23] Arctic Monkeys denied this on their website, dubbing the newspaper "The Daily Stir". However, Domino have licensed the Australian and New Zealand publishing rights to EMI and the Japanese rights to independent label Hostess.[19] (Less)
