Arctic Monkeys Clown Around On A Face-Painted "Adolescent"

Favourite Worst Nightmare has its bright spots, but "Fluorescent Adolescent" is the song that single-handedly justified the round-one Arctic hype for us, proving that the band could mature into their sound and still craft a pithy hook. And this performance from Friday Night With Jonathan Ross has the post-adolescents frown like the clowns from the "Karma Police"-y vid. Cheeky Monkeys.

They're better for their extensive touring. That was suprisingly tight.

I really think they are a solid band, they get a bad rap because of all of their NME hype. I really like both of their albums.

Good call with Karma Police-I saw the video again last month and thought 'that's just like the Flourescent Adolescent video'.
