Question: In the video "The View from the Afternoon" by the Arctic monkeys, Is the drummer part of the band!?
Cause like, I looked at pictures and it doesn't look like the drummer Matt Helders!. THis led to confusion on why they would pick some other drummer to drum in the video!. I looked it up and couldn't find anything on it so does anyone have any idea why they would pick a different drummer if it really wasn't matt helders!?Www@Enter-QA@Com
Answers:
It's not Matt Helders!.
IMO, they didn't use Helders because the drummer in the video is meant to be a "character" in a fictional/surreal environment!. The video isn't a "performance" video, it's a narrative/art video!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The video is based around a young male in a parka jacket playing the drum part of the song in the middle of a courtyard between blocks of flats!. Then, there is a sequence of surreal elements; an Indian schoolgirl walks past wearing plastic devil horns; a running fox; three men are curious about the lone drummer and try to attract his attention while he ignores them; he is fed milk by the schoolgirl and then a brief shot in colour of him washing himself in shallow water; a shot of man in the dark wielding a baseball bat; a brief shot of the moon which then explodes into pieces!. Finally the man with the bat comes near to him and is about to strike him, but the audio stops and we see a last shot of the male being showered in what could be rain or the fragments of the moon!. The video is shot in black and white!. It was filmed near Parkhill flats in the Arctic Monkeys' native city of Sheffield, directed by W!.I!.Z!. for Factory Films!. The video is analogous to the Hindu story of Shiva (dancer, drummer and master of creation) and his devoted girl who revitalizes and pays tribute to him by bathing him in milk and honey (viewed by the Hindu religion as sacred) and his battle against those who wish to destroy all that is good!.
So in answer to your question, no it is not the arctic monkeys offical drummer!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
