b'I love trying to figure out why things are the way they are\\u2026it\\u2019s a need to understand, you know?...\\n\\nTake a guy like Jack White, for example\\u2026if you go deep into his background, you have a much better understanding of why he is the way he is and why his music sounds the way it does\\u2026\\n\\nAnother example is the Beastie Boys\\u2026how did they grow to what they became\\u2026if you look at Green Day\\u2019s upbringing, you get them even more\\u2026\\n\\nSame goes for Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, Eddie Vedder\\u2014they all have life experiences unique to them and crucial to the music they end up making\\u2026\\n\\nLemme give you another name: The Arctic Monkeys\\u2026you may, like me, have always found something different about these guys\\u2026they rock pretty good, but their songs are constructed in a distinctive fashion\\u2026.and lyrically, they\\u2019re above and beyond so many bands\\u2026\\n\\nAnd they started so young\\u2026they got it while they were still teenagers\\u2026and the way they became famous was completely antithetical to the way you\\u2019re supposed to do things in the music business\\u2026\\n\\nTo put it another way, The Arctic Monkeys are unusual\\u2014and I mean that with the utmost admiration\\u2026tell you what: let\\u2019s see if we can deconstruct the band to see what makes them tick\\u2026then maybe we\\u2019ll figure how why they are the way they are\\u2026\\n\\n\\nFor a total of $70 off your first three weeks of Hello Fresh, go to HelloFresh.ca/OngoingHistory70 and enter the code \\u201cOngoingHistory70\\u201d.\\n\\nThat\\u2019s HelloFresh.ca/OngoingHistory70 and enter the code \\u201cOngoingHistory70\\u201d.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
