[frecklefaceabby]

his little dance in the beggining. Oh jules, man your just perfect<3

[chcolatteizzle]

why dislike when you can like?! the dislikes will be counted as likes because you watched the vid and if you watched the strokes you LIKE them so duh!

[BritishRadarMusic]

If you like The Strokes, you'll probably like White Collar Crimes - whitecollarcrimes.bandcamp.com :) x

[TADEU2121]

OH TAKE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTT

[1324hh]

best bands

1 the strokes

2 arctic monkeys

3 the fratellis

4 the kooks

[hachano24]

[aynanitalaranita]

[watcherfacehurtlolol]

damn quiet...

[chorthithian]

that drummer is awesome he wears ACDC shirts at recordings (evening sun vid)

[Nero24k]

haha with such horrible video quality Nick looked like a skinny woman

[OdoubleTO]

@Nero24k I think it's intentional on his part, he often resembles a homo lol he is quite effeminate!

[Vinny1574]

Regina Spektor at 2:01?

[elgrandesnipe]

Come to las Vegas Strokes I want to see this band so bad in real life lol

[t00br00tal]

[princesslily181]

THEY ARE SO FUCKING AMAZING !

[slipkid78]

THIS IS SO FUCKING GREAT

[ZunigaZorola]

Enough is enough!!!!!!!

[payne352]

volume?  I appreciate the effort but whoever made this fucking fails.

[mrspixiedust]

i love it how they all get in to it!! its so cool!! ^_^

[MrStrokerr]

i love this song

[TheMazeOfMystery]

Stroke and Queens of the Stone Age must undoubtebly be the best bands of the last decade.

Each live performance by either one of these is just amazingg

[NPchannel]

..and the white stripes.

[p4cm4n182]

@NPchannel most garage rock bands like White Stripes and The Strokes are awesome

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

2:54 !!! Julian spits!!

[MrRomer0]

OMG

[decko87]

@acfabregat The vocals sound similar but the doors were much more of a jam band whereas the strokes songs are much more clearly defined. Rather a different feel I reckon

[alex99fever]

actually the arctic mokeys sing it better

[Nimzi]

alex is a great singer. But he can't touch Jules

[deadmandanny88]

@alex99fever Never

[JoeCrogan]

I was at this. Pretty good.

[KellC92]

you are beyond Lucy!

:D

[manuhumano]

Cool song

[jonyvdub342]

incorrect grammar and no ugly retard, they do not "sucks".

[subeards]

Let people express themselves.

[SanderX0]

Because? They achieved more then you have.

[ravager57]

at 2:54-2:55 julian accidently spits at albert and just turns like "uh-oh" lol

[joaojose18]

this audience really sucks

[chanceie12]

@joaojose18 there scottish what do you exspect.

[wabp1994]

@joaojose18 its a festival they are probably stoned or drunk , but thats the magic of the festivals though hmm

[MrMaxrodriguez]

@joaojose18 Mate, it's also T in the park that fucking sucks lol...check out any line-up and you'll be laughing

[audrey00051]

LOL XD

[WwKalvinwW]

and there style is there style, dont judge it. Even if they shoegaze, that doesnt make em lame. They still made great music, and were memorable.

[muquinhas]

their.

[Theo142dwyer241]

they envelope themselves in their music, and i totally agree, u dont need to rock the fuck out to make good music, they all feel it, but they are a little more humble about then others

[mervyn95]

When will they releae their new album?

[joncourtney]

new album?

[awestrokes]

hope the new album be great

[2rand0m]

what channel do they play on?

[YessicaB7]

julian es sexy de cojones

[UnibrowJackIII]

thats a shit ton of people

[haidodaisuki]

theres a really cool part of some song that julian shouts something like "get everything...to blame!" but i cant really find which song is that. i thought it was "take it or leave" or "alone,together" but its not.someone has a clue?

[motoharuyano]

maybe "red light" ...?

[haidodaisuki]

i think its not red light. he says "blame" there but in a very different way and thats not the line :(

i think he might added that line occasionaly on some performance (i believe its alone,together) and it got stuck in my head for some strange reason.Thanks a lot for your guess :P

[Decentstrokescovers]

sortof like where he adds the word "shit" every possible oppurtinuity in live performances of last night? xD

[haidodaisuki]

yes, there isnt any song with that line but i dont think im skilled enough to make lyrics myself :P Funny that I find that part so cool but it doesnt really exist lol kind of strange. i can remember that part so clearly it has to be in some performance! And yes,last night performances has always a lot of odd improvisations XD

[fanton228]

Es lo mejor qe hay xD

the strokes

[caseymac47]

take it or leave it on letterman was their best performance of this ever...it was amazing

[danielreyes10]

AGREED!!!!

[deniz15]

you should guys see the one in summersonic... best one ever!

[danielreyes10]

i´ve seen it and i think it was great too.. it was a very powerfull performance in my opinion but i think the performance on david letterman the sound quality was awesome so much better than sumersonic od course is beacause they were in a tv program and indoor... anyway thats just my opinion =D PD sorry about my english (if i wrote something wrong) lol

[danielreyes10]

[Marco1thestrokes]

the strokes is rock!! ♥

[awestrokes]

i wish i was there

[dialblova]

haha fuck this is like the 6 th video i've commented on julians voice today, but man, im just worried about him...

i think his voice is cracking up!!!

i mean u can see it in his face and in the way he grabs the mic, and in just how he tries to hit those high notes.....its like he's fighting everything in him to just hit those scratchy hard notes in songs like this one or hard to explain (live in the t park or whatever)

Just look at how he sings....look at his face and listen well...

[alexgibbo1234]

one who are you to comment and two its nothing to with him being fuckin wasted ?

aha!

the strokes are amazing

[dialblova]

hahaha man.... i was tripping balls when i was writing all of the comments in the vids that day....but seriously, for me this performance was just weak....

but maybe ur right and he really was wasted....

but achhhh....who the fuck cares.....

the strokes kick ass!

[awestrokes]

no man, julian is a great singer. julian just act like a garage singer, and if you see the song records you see that julian find the high notes, and you find that julian can sing in different tunes and shades

[dialblova]

his voice is weak in this performance...the one in letterman is insane....

[Freej77]

LEGENDARY!!!!

[Janzztube]

i'd be so fucking mad if i was on a ride and the strokes were playing, gee thoses people missed out.

[ciaobella524]

LOL that made me laugh, but I totally agree with you Janzztube!

[strokesjunkie]

haha at first I was like "what the hell are you talking about" but then I saw the Ferris Wheel and understood. those poor saps.

[naraku6666]

THE STROKES FOR THE WIN !!!!

[Albertcardiel]

Great solo of albert

[Albertcardiel]

Great solo of albert

[sm9166]

The arctics did well with this song, but doesn't compare to the original

[AndroidSagaX]

i like the arctic monkeys version better as well

[batterycheckx]

probably been said before but w/e, the arctic monkeys guys (well, at least Alex) formed the 'sound' they have today, because of the Strokes. I personally have nothing against the arctic monkeys, but saying that they did this better than the strokes is like saying that limp bizkit did a better version of 'behind blue eyes' than the who. moron.

[jc00l92]

i love the Ams cover but alex's voice just doesn't do the song justice. and limp biskits cover was awful not even comparable

[welooklikegiants]

where did you hear this?

[batterycheckx]

hear what? Alex said it in an interview, cant remember which magazine, but probably Q.

[blackball842]

The Arctic Monkeys are just like, a music machine of sorts. They're good, but you can tell , especially from them covering this song, how their sound is very one dimensional. The Strokes are just a better unit, a better "band". They meld together perfectly. The Arctic Monkeys just kinda crank out songs, its different.

[XkiaRAWRx]

Okay, Julian's voice is 999999999999999x WAY better than Alex's, tbh.

Therefore, this one overpowers the Arctic Monkeys' version.

The Arctic Monkeys are still awesome, but will never compare to the Strokes.

[r3dfella]

Damn, there are a lot of people there!

[MurrayPettit]

i much prefer the Arctic Monkeys version.

this is good though

[Slither]

Yeah, The Arctic Monkeys version is quite good I must say, but i still prefer the original.

[slenjamiah]

lmao

[editth222]

awsomee :O

[greicelovegood]

[Winco27]

Como en los viejos tiempos!!!
