Arctic Monkeys - Cornerstone



I don't mind this clip, looks to be getting a fair rubbishing on youtube from disgruntled fans. I don't really buy into Alex's apparent longing for his ex-girlfriend but that doesn't take away from the fact that it still makes for a nice sing along. I definately like this more than the clip for Cyring Lightning, but I can't help but think the story line in the lyrics could have made for a really interesting story line in video. I am yet to purchase the new Arctic Monkeys album but I have been pretty pleased with what I've heard thus far and I do enjoy the vocal performance Alex has turned in on this particular track.

Sounds like the Electro Harmonix Pulsar is still getting a decent work out too on some nice but simple lead parts. Jamie Cook’s pedal board pictured below. Checkout more info on the Arctic Monkey's specific gear at..

Dan Boeckner's Guitar Pedals



As I'm currently obsessed with the Handsome Furs I've tracked down this picture of Dan's pedals taken by Tim O'Connor. Can anyone help me out with what the two pedals are in the middle? If you do know what they are leave a comment..

I can see:

- Boss TU-2 Tuner
- Boss DS-1 Distortion
- ?
- ?
- Boss DD-20 Giga Delay
- Electro HarmonixMicro POG


Also while we're at it, does anyone know what drum machine Alexei Perry uses?
