From Wikipedia: "The July and August 2001 cover art of Is This It is by Colin Lane and features a photograph of a woman's nude bottom and hip, with a leather-gloved hand suggestively resting on it. The model was later revealed to be Lane's then-girlfriend"
The Strokes have a barrier to entry when it comes to their music because the songs come across simple and minimalism, but those who are lucky enough to be gifted with the ear to breach that barrier will understand why the Strokes are the best band of the 21st century. Once you're on the other side of the barrier you realize why songs like (Alone, Together) are better than Last Nite, and Reptilia. The guys are flawless!
I feel really dumb because I was talking to my sister about the stroke's album "is this it" and she said "the one with the butt?" and I like "what" and she said "the album with the glove and the butt!" and I said "You mean the glove and the knee." and she said "no the one where the glove is stroking that girls butt."
The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Arctic Monkeys, The Vines and Kings of Leon just to name a few of those 2000s bands that managed to save my formerly teenaged soul <3
@ViewerGaunt I don't know, I think the entire song is amazing, but I just like how Julian goes from "screaming" into the chorus in that part I've mentioned.
I'm convinced it's an ass ! For one thing you can see the other leg and the position it is in does not indicate it as being a knee. Also there is the matter of scale. If that is a knee she must be a giantess ! Because compared to the hand it's absolutely enormous. Lastly you wouldn't, as others have insisted, be able to see the pubic bone (pudenda) at the angle it's photographed.
@imcucuu maybe it has to do with the sensuallity of women now in days cuz the album kinda is bout sex and relationships and drugs so yeah ya kno girls and their teases
@08Cheeseits You have no idea how many complaints I've got cause of that comment XD
Seeing as it was 9 months ago I'm not sure exactly what was happening. I was probably preoccupied. I don't know about you, but i don't like wasting my precious time staring at stills. What good is music if you can't double task with it?
The Strokes released their debut album Is This It in the US in October 2001 on RCA after some delay due to changes made from the UK-released version (released 27 August 2001). The cover of the latter features a black-and-white photo of a gloved hand on a woman's naked backside, shown in semi-profile. The naked model on the cover was photographer Colin Lane's girlfriend at the time. The North American version replaces this with an image of particle collisions in the Big European Bubble Chamber.
Every strokes video ive gone on i have always seen some comments mention whether its a knee or an ass :) why care? great band though, only recently started to listen to them and they're already probably my favourite.
It cant be a knee for 3 reasons : The hand is smaller than the knee, you try putting your hand on your knee like that, it would be much bigger. There is no kneecap, when you bend your knee the knee cap points out a little, but there is nothing. And finally, you can see the other leg making the butt....
Strokes make the best transitions ever.. like at 1:52 and stuff I just feel like the whole song dynamic changes. Fellas in these songs you literally die, are revived, get sodomized, and discover your calling all at the same time. Good stuff, really grabs you by the balls.
Mormon. Despite Fab Moretti, I believe he'ss a Raelist. If I'm not mistaken. Julian used to be catholic, he changed his mind after the infamous prayer book incident, tho.
@THISISaSPARTAn Unfortunately he didn't write it. Julian wrote the whole of the first 3 albums, guitar solos and all. Maybe cause he's a fucking genius.
