The London Olympics opening night ceremony on Friday left a last impression on millions of viewers, thanks in part to the songs choices used to emphasize director Danny Boyle's dazzling spectacle. UK chart-topping tunes like U2 's "Where The Streets Have No Name", David Bowie 's "Heroes", Pet Shop Boys ' "West End Girls" and Arctic Monkeys ' "I Bet You Look Good On The Dance Floor" soundtracked the parade of countries marching into the Olympic Stadium, while [...]
Arctic Monkeys - London Olympic Games 2012 Watch The Arctic Monkeys perform at the Olympic Games in London for the Opening Ceremony - 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' and the amazing 'Come Together' by The Beatles
Stereogum : Danny Boyle directs the Olympics' opening ceremony, complete with Arctic Monkeys covering The Beatles. CoS : MMJ, Alabama Shakes, Conor Oberst take the stage together at the Newport Folk Festival. Slate : DJ Shadow is trying to monetize BitTorrent downloads, is still totally awesome.

La cerimonia di apertura dei giochi olimpici di Londra 2012 è stata anche un tripudio di musica inglese. Tra i tanti artisti che si sono esibiti allo stadio Olimpico c'è stato spazio anche per l'esibizione degli Arctic Monkeys che dopo aver eseguito il loro cavallo di battaglia “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor” hanno regalato una cover dei The Beatles . La versione studio di "Come Together" eseguita dalle 'scimmie artiche' e che verrà inserita nella compila "Isles Of Wonder: Music For The Opening Ceremony" in uscita su Decca la potete ascoltare qui: [...]
The Olympics reigned as king of the weekend for those of us unable to be present in London. Lots of armchair quarterbacks talking about Danny Boyle's stab at the Olympic ceremonies titled "Isles of Wonder." The masterful Boyle successfully created a relevant production that most citizens of the UK would be proud of calling Boyle, one of their "own." Boyle comes from humble beginnings and his thematic masterpiece wove the different periods of English history with mesmerizing attention to detail and more than generous with the eye candy pulling out all the stops to make the Beijing [...]
Last Friday, a few of us spent the end of our Friday afternoons attempting to watch choppy illegal streams of the BBC's Olympics coverage - exactly the sort of thing NBC was trying to prevent us from seeing. Those of us who succeeded in tuning in saw some perfectly ridiculous things during the Ceremony, which filmmaker Danny Boyle directed, my favorite being the cartoon punks on pogo shoes who bounced around during "Pretty Vacant" and "Firestarter." But the actual ceremony included a full-scale tribute to the entire history of British pop music, featuring performances from Paul McCartney, Dizzee Rascal, Frank [...]

If you didn't catch the London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony, you missed a pretty great performance by the Arctic Monkeys . The band played 2 songs: "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" as well as a cover of The Beatles'"Come Together", watch them both below.
by Bill Pearis Artic Monkeys at 2012 London Olympics Opening Ceremony The 2012 London Olympics are underway, with the wildly ambitious spectacle of the Opening Ceremonies happened last night (7/27), as directed by Danny Boyle , the man who gave us Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Slumdog Millionaire . And while you can argue whether or not it was successful, epic, dazzling or dumb, you gotta give it up to Boyle for [...]
Filed under: News AFP British rock 'n' roll factored heavily into last night's London Olympics opening ceremony , and as one might expect, the music of the Beatles got gold-medal treatment. In addition to Paul McCartney 's closing performance of " Hey Jude " -- a massive singalong he prefaced with a line from "The End" -- latter-day Brit-rock heroes the Arctic Monkeys covered the Fab Four's "Come Together."

Once again, thanks to the inestimable We All Want Someone To Shout For I have the two performances from last night's surprise Arctic Monkeys performance at the opening ceremonies of the London Olympics...this time in MP3 form. Here's to hoping that we'll get some fresh Youtube videos of the performance, or videos uploaded elsewhere that won't be taken down. You can buy both tracks (studio versions) on iTunes here .

Last night the eyes of the world were on London for the opening ceremony of the Olympics and the creation of Oscar-2inning film maker, Danny Boyle. I must say I was pretty impressed by the whole thing. What really got our excitement going was the use of music in the show. Emeli Sandé made an appearance before Dizzee Rascal appeared from a home in the middle of the arena. Two Door Cinema Club and Paul McCartney also made an appearance. A highlight for me was Arctic Monkeys who performed their ever popular debut single "I Bet You Look [...]
Last night's Opening Ceremony proved many things, but perhaps more emphatically than anything, it showed that we know our way around a melody. Bowie, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Queen, Blur, Winehouse, and...er, Fuck Buttons. First and last time we'll hear Fuck Buttons at an Opening Ceremony? Most probably. While Macca led the crowd through a sing-song of 'Hey Jude' the real thrill of the live performances was watching Arctic Monkeys tear through their breakthrough track 'I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor' infront of a billion people. [...]
Arctic Monkeys opened the London Olympics. The motherloving Olympics! That my favorite band in the world got the opportunity to do this is absolutely amazing to me. I don't know if I'm more surprised because I like them, or because they are still in their prime and not on the tail end like other bands asked to do prestigious things such as this. Hands down one of the coolest things musically in my life and I wasn't even there. I watched it on a shitty stream and am now having to wait [...]

Entonces, la ceremonia inaugural de los Juegos Olimpicos tuvo de todo uh? Desde una Reina fake que se lanzaba de un helicoptero, Mr. Bean, y entre muchas cosas memorables que seguramente han estado viendo desde ayer por la tarde en tooodas partes: mucha musica. Si, musica, y no cualquier musica, ya que ademas de que nos metieron en un recorrido de algunos de los artistas mas destacados de la historia de Inglaterra como The Jam, The Kinks, Sex Pistols, The Who, New Order, OMD, The Prodigy, Underworld, The Chemical Brothers, y David Bowie, (ademas de causarle un orgasmo a [...]
Im pretty psyched about the 2012 Summer Olympics in London this summer. Today was the opening ceremony featuring performances by popular English artists Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club and Beatles legend Paul McCartney. A nice nod to England's reputation for a fresh music scene. The ceremonies will give these bands worldwide exposure, especially newcomers Two Door Cinema Club. Check [...]
Yesterday or Early in the morning (depending on where you are), Arctic Monkeys played a role in the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic games. Also the singer of Two Door Cinema Club also made an appearance singing in the latter half of the ceremony. The London 2012 Olympic Games Opening Ceremony setlist was: The Who, 'Baba O'Riley' Muse, 'Map Of The Problematique' Fuck Buttons, 'Surf Solar' Sex Pistols, 'God Save The Queen' The Clash, 'London Calling' Mike Oldfield, 'Tubular Bells' OMD, 'Enola [...]
