[whiteknight7284]

For those of you who prefer the Strokes without an introduction from a talentless hick: 0:09

[p4cm4n182]

I find it it funny that the audience consist of so many middle age people

[gpg20s]

Why am i up at 2:30am watching this shit? God please help me.

[MagniChord]

@gpg20s Haha same here; it's really starting to be a problem...

[nosegaurd22]

[sikenmreh]

[albrths]

min 2:25 albert y nikilay cagandose de la risa de nick y julian!

fab muy en su pedo jajaja

[billabong9494]

Awww, he says happy birthday to his son. Am I the only one who picked up on that? 4:07 (His son turned 1 that day)

[priekon]

esto es ANGLES :D

[1ScS1]

"ladies and gentleman a real music"

[RoKr93]

very tight instrumentals by the strokes as usual. love it, although it's weird as hell seeing nick playing a les paul instead of his riviera lol. julian kinda sounded like shit but oh well, off day. the rest was usual strokes greatness.

[Gisellelectric]

AAAAH! Que hace Miley con una blusa de los Strokes .__. es como si Justin Bieber tubiera una blusa de Interpol DX

[mersault002]

@Gisellelectric NOOOOOOOO ni pensarlo NOOOOOOOOOOO

[rubeenrock]

@Gisellelectric justin bieber? wtf ....

(N)(N)(N)  hahaha

[reocken]

mexican power!!!

[xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

Miley after she introduces them...

"Who are the Strokes daddy?"

Billy Ray "A good band, you wouldn't understand."

[ROCKEMDEAD4LINDY]

@xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx haha...that was funny. lol

[priekon]

[Aerosmithtastic]

hahaha...he said fuckers. was he saying sorry at the end? lol

[JaymeeHogg]

@Aerosmithtastic no se way saying happy birthday to his son.

and he said "fuck it"

[iLUVindians19]

today has been one of the greatest days in school. in science we are studying work which involves joules (pronounced jules), our spring pictures are on march 22 (angles) and in health we are studying cardiovascular diseases suh as... STROKES!!!!

[vercingtox]

hahaha made me crack up when fab nods to nikolai at 1:14

[spenserdboatwright]

FACT: Miley Cyrus was 8 when Is This It was released. Now I'm not saying she's not a fan, but...um...haha.

[JaredL19]

@spenserdboatwright im a year younger than miley cyrus is so your saying that i cant be a true fan? im sorry i thought it was about wether or not i liked the music not my age? Why cant miley like the strokes? i dont get it, if i were the strokes i would think it was kinda boss the miley cyrus like our music

[spenserdboatwright]

@JaredL19 That WOULD be awesome. I would just have been more likely to believe it if she'd been seen in public with it or something rather than on the night they're both on SNL. Seemed like it might have been a bit of a PR move. Or maybe I'm just a jaded asshole. Haha. Either way, I'm glad that you support good music.

[nbaz86]

@spenserdboatwright So I guess none of us born in the 80s are allowed to be fans of Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, the Ramones, Nirvana and etc...because we were too young when they were at the height of their fame...

[spenserdboatwright]

@nbaz86 Not at all, I was born in the 80's and am a huge fan of all 4 bands. Her music just doesn't seem to be influenced by them, and was wondering if the shirt was because she genuinely liked them (which she very well could) or just a PR move, which is also possible.

also...FACT: I am genuinely excited about this album.

[FirstTuber123]

They still look sound and act like the Ramones. Damn copy cats.

[thepostalkiller]

@FirstTuber123 fuck, fucking bastard.

[thepostalkiller]

@FirstTuber123 fuck, fucking bastard.

looks like you have no idea what is music

[wc3415]

They should lower the key for julian man.. seriously i know its rock n roll, but he's way off

[coolwizard18181]

WOW! Thank god for chicks, but thank god JULIAN CASABLANCAS!

[ECKO1R]

Did anyone notice Julian whistle the intro to the solo at 2:53 haha

[countchunkula]

@ECKO1R That's the R2-D2 beep.

[kagetothemax]

@ECKO1R It's on the recording, too.

[KTS2035]

Awesome track, awesome performance. Anybody else digging the new logo?

[melfaery]

@KTS2035 o snap i didn't even notice that until you mentioned it

[festrokes]

this is music

[totter2]

2:53 Ya i'll whistle this solo! awww fuck it.

[itsrichidude]

Fab looks so happy(:

[Gromstrom]

I'm pretty sure Nikolai Fraiture has Down

Syndrome.

[alans056]

@Gromstrom he's so weird. he's in one of the best bands in the world and he's just "there", like he has a stick up his ass since 2001. never said a word or smiled... down syndrome for sure!

[Boomocon1]

Sick about time for new music.

[DoubleYellowLinesUzu]

He is stoned...

[Razamataz89]

I love everything about this... except Miley Cyrus

[Maximumpmf]

Damn I'm fed up with seeing that little fat slut every time I want to listen to this

[virr123123]

some backvocals wouldn't hurt the chours, otherwise it's 100%

[dknwx]

He says "fuck it" 'cause he screwed up in 3:50

He tries to repeat the same verse but he realises it's not.

<3

[marucho123]

really good live, the guitar harmonies still rub me the wrong way though.

[armorking140384]

Julian voice wasnt at its top.. i think he was sick or somthing like that

[komaboy]

Much better performed live than the plastic album version

[FlyBird]

@komaboy Studio version is great, fuck you buddy

[komaboy]

@FlyBird so sorry I hurted your feelings *_*, thanks for your precious feedback

[Minute2Dawn]

Sounds a bit like Phoenix.

[danchrimy3]

@Minute2Dawn Other way around! Strokes have been around first!

[tommytomeagleton]

@Minute2Dawn You mean phoenix sounds a bit like the Strokes

[Minute2Dawn]

@tommytomeagleton No I mean this particular song's bassline reminds me of Phoenix. I like both bands so it's actually fine. :)

[TheWastedfreak]

Wth are the Muse here ? Pisses me off

[GoodMornight]

poor u M.cyrus,,but u must get out from there,,,,SHIT GIRL!!

[ValensiH39]

37 stupid people! ¬¬

[OSV2536]

@farizzal

Whoa buddy relax! Nikolai may not be the coolest is the band but he is a part of the strokes and you have to respect that.

Some of his bass lines may be simple but are you familiar with the song "is this it" that was the bass line of the decade.

[farizzal]

@OSV2536 of course, I love that bass line. But Julian wrote it. Nikolai hasn't written any of his own basslines until this album. He's a studio musician as far as I'm concerned, and not even with the talent that usually comes with that position. I could do his job easily.

[farizzal]

I love the Strokes but I hate Nikolai. He looks like a pretentious douche first of all, and playing bass with a pick, with basslines a 10 year old could play. It pisses me off that he's coasted off the success of the rest of the band and their talent.

[GoodMornight]

@farizzal YEAH REALLY,,,BUT HE'S THE BEST BASS PLAYER EVER!!!!

BUT CHRIS(MUSE)BETTER THAN NIKOLAI HUH!!

[farizzal]

@GoodMornight lol at all the fan boys voting me down.

no hes not the best bass player ever lol

yea Chris is really good, hes definitely up there, and definitely better than Nikolai

[Dsenuik]

love how he goes "fuck it!" at the end

[mersault002]

Sorry to tell you guys but Julian's voice sounds a little tired in this song, besides it's clearly a little too high for him, hopefully he will take care more of his voice or it won't last.

Love the song and seeing them live anyway, I'm so glad they came back, just hope they can last many many years.

[Arcadinhog]

@mersault002 Thats just the way he sings in every live songs from the strokes !

[CindyShout]

@mersault002 yeah :/ he even got the lyrics wrong

[GreatRedNorth]

3:57 Makes Julian Casablancas a Hero! lol

[AiMaa33]

did mileyu cyrus hust try to pop her cgest out?! OH HELLLLL NAAAA!!!!!

[jerbear113]

hey everyone machu picchu and taken for a fool full songs are on youtube if you search them up

[mariolozano91]

Miley Cirus is a piece of shit, she shouldn't use the strokes t-shirt, they are too much for her

[countchunkula]

THANK YOU BASED CASABLANCAS.

[mariolozano91]

Miley Cirus sucks, she shouldn't use the strokes t-shirt cuase she is a pice of shit. The strokes is too much for her.

[rubeenrock]

hanna montana xD

[peabear1]

I think that Jules is the only guy that many other straight men would go gay for. Seriously, who wouldn't? He is efffin' awesome!

Can't wait to go to their show this summer!

[sta0005]

That kit sounds phenomenal...

[TheLebat]

kind so nice , they smile at each other , fabrizio at 01:12 , albert smile to nikolai at 02:26 and julian such show thumb up to fab at 03:12

[melfaery]

Miley's intro, her wearing The Strokes t-shirt...it's one of the most offensive fucking things I've ever seen.

[ROCKEMDEAD4LINDY]

@melfaery hahaha...exactly! u said it for a lot of people who thinks so too. LOL

[l3wis3mm]

@melfaery how do you know she hasnt been a strokes fan her whole life? you only know what the news tells you! you know nothing of her private life. i dont like her either but fannies like you making comments like that annoy me!

[Esudao]

@l3wis3mm exactly. i don't like miley (or her music) either, but as president obama said in an interview recently (with o'reilly, the über-douche), noone really knows you on a personal level if you're a person of interest for the media.

[melfaery]

@l3wis3mm Music is a fairly intimate affair. It's a map of someone's heart, someone's soul as is any other kind of art. I understand Miley may have not had much choice in what kind of "art" she churned out as a child, but she's old enough to be lending her own voice to what she chooses to put out in the world. She's certainly rich & powerful enough. Yet she continues to be satisfied with churning out soulless, empty garbage. Cotton candy for the masses.

[melfaery]

She has the rare privilege of making a very good living off of "art". And it is indeed a fucking privilege. But she doesn't take advantage of it, doesn't deliver any message of any particular import. She just continues to put out crap & rake in millions. That's laziness, that's stupidity, that's emptiness and that shows she has nothing compelling to say. It offends me that someone this vapid can associate herself with The Strokes. And quite frankly I don't give a fuck if my opinion annoys you.

[TheSTLRick]

@melfaery cussing definately hammers down your point. It sounds like you want to sound educated with "vapid" yet edgy with the random "fucks". Its called pop music. Not EVERY SINGLE band has a "message". Im a HUGE HUGE HUGE RHCP fan, what's their messsage tho? Do a shit load of drugs, have a band member overdose, then redeem themselves? It's music, and to each their own. Go kill yourself. #Winning

[melfaery]

@TheSTLRick You're a sweetheart. :) And I'm sure RHCP would really appreciate you taking such an idiotic, simplistic take on their music.

[melfaery]

@TheSTLRick And lol at you thinking someone is "trying to sound educated" bc they use words like "vapid". Don't procreate & pass on your idiot genes please.

[anamulleer]

@melfaery You are absolutely right, that made me wanna vomit.

[Esudao]

@melfaery you should get your head checked if you feel offensed by such a thing. maybe you should learn not to comment on everybody you dislike, because it sounds like bitching and not accepting other people's opinion. i do not like miley either, but don't let my dick hang out about it, so to speak.

[melfaery]

@Esudao So your advice is to not comment on everybody's opinion, by commenting on my opinion? Kayyyyyy.

[Esudao]

@melfaery 'comment' was the wrong word, but don't get offended by someone's elses opinion in music taste, where everyone is entitled to his own taste, as shown by the wide range from classic to eletronic music.

i just think bitching about some performer in the pop genre if you don't like that genre is like bitching over people that happen to like the colour yellow more than blue.

of course people who like the pop genre are in >general< younger(not always), but that's a whole other story.

[melfaery]

@Esudao You're making a lot of assumptions about my opinions on pop, age, etc. but that's your right as it is mine to express my opinion. Imagine that? Someone on Youtube with an opinion? Shocking.

[Esudao]

@melfaery those assumptions weren't directed at you but to make more clear what i meant.

i just find it a little cheap to be offended by a shirt -- comes across as if you fear miley would somehow "pollute" the "the stroke"'s fanbase. or would you explain to me why you find it offensive if someone else is wearing a the strokes t-shirt ? i don't understand that.

[melfaery]

@Esuado And I find it a little amusing that you seem more offended by my comment than I was by Miley. For someone who thinks other people shouldn't be judgemental you're being awfully...judgemental lol I'm actually flying out to Vegas to see them this weekend & don't really have time for this. No offense.

[romanjsmith]

@melfaery yeah how dare she like the same band as you do!

[caridehome]

@romanjsmith im telling you she's never hear of the band, this is probably the first time shes listened to them

[shonum]

@melfaery your comment is one of the most offensive things i've ever seen. you and the people who like your comment make us strokes fans look bad.

[Just8eatit]

@shonum "us strokes fan" were you think there was some sort a' guild? well there isn't one, so who the fuck cares, screw miley cyrus!

[jenko3001]

@melfaery id say hitler was more offensive than miley cyrus wearing a strokes t-shirt

[ConfidentPickle]

@jenko3001 No, nothing is more offensive than Miley in that shirt.

[asdfgh416]

@melfaery I couldn't agree more.

[gigi31898]

i love how at 3:58 julian says "fuck it" and no one bleeped it <3

[melfaery]

@gigi31898 They couldn't bleep it. This was filmed during a live network TV performance on Saturday Night Live.

[Esudao]

@gigi31898 there was a decision it was allowed on national television, wasn't it? but most producers *bleep* it for tradition purposes i guess.

[Italianchick6]

@gigi31898 They did in the actual airing lolz

[clovermuse]

I took antidepressants until I realized that listening to The Strokes worked much better.

[charlieJH401]

3:58 fuck it?

[dialaname]

Julian kinda not seemed into it much, but w.e they still made my dick shrink....

[gigi31898]

@dialaname hes like that in like all his concerts... its so fucking hot...damn....

[melfaery]

@gigi31898 I'm seeing them for the first time in concert this weekend in Vegas. I'm hoping I don't spazz out too much.

[dialaname]

ROFL the guy in the dark flannel at 0:07 - 0:10 nodding at the camera knew what the fuck was about to go down...

[WestCoastIrk]

This version is even better quality/sounding than the Recorded Studio version, unreal performance!

Fuck Miley Circus Freak

[mcmeekz]

id do miley. if you wouldnt, im pretty sure youre a fag. oh and this song is NIIIIIIICE

[WestCoastIrk]

@mcmeekz after yu fak her yur dick gonna fall off. Her vagina has sharp toofs and her stinker can k.o u w em odors

[Fflloowwful]

@mcmeekz

or just older than you

[mcmeekz]

@Fflloowwful older guys would like to tap that too. 

[Fflloowwful]

@mcmeekz

nah I'm 22 (not that old) and I'm no a pedo bear.

[Fflloowwful]

@mcmeekz

you consider being 17/18 old?

[schwill17]

Fab look's so happy throughout the entire song, he can't stop smiling.

[Xelanoux]

this is better than the album version

[damelvi]

Shut fuck up miley cyrus

[EmmePereirinha]

O Julian canta muito,e os caras tocam muito bem,The Strokes é uma combinação perfeita,eu queria q eles viessem aqui pro Brasil esse ano.

[rrroach21]

the "I'll wait for you" with the gun to the head gives the song a totally new meaning. its so sad now :(

[stillilllife]

@rrroach21 I think he just did that because he fucked up the singing part a few seconds before that.

[danidanidaani]

fuck it i'll wait for you always jules

[SeansCool1]

miley cyrus who is ridiculously shit, introducing the strokes

[2011baggio]

[00MiaJoe00]

OXEGEN <3

[ColinZ55]

[PortugalTheAccount]

@ColinZ55 lol they probably dont give a fuck g. jules did it back in 2001 or 02 on SNL too. during the break for hard to explain Jules shouted 'fuuuckin A!' it was so rad.

[redhand126]

Jesus why do people go so gaga for this band?

[Nakzo]

Like The Rock said: FINALLY, THE STROKES COMEBACK!.

[diemalibu]

Julian can sing totally wrong and still look and sound cool
