Arctic Monkeys: Playing older songs feels like karaoke

Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders has said that the band are often reluctant to play their older material because"it feels like we’re doing karaoke of our own songs”, NME reports. Helders says their older material feels "like a caricature. It doesn’t feel as genuine playing it anymore. I'd rather they [the fans] just have the memory of a version where we really meant it, rather than we’ll do this for you”.
